Embodied navigation: the influence of lived experience on physical activity and sedentary behavior among older adults
CONCLUSIONS: Our study highlights how older adults' lived experiences of physical activity, with their connections to body awareness and acceptance, impact daily physical activity. These findings offer new knowledge for clinical practitioners balancing recommendations of sedentary behaviour and physical activity, to promote healthy daily physical activity among older adults. Future research and policies should consider the lived experiences of older adults when addressing public health matters related to sedentary behaviour and physical activity.PMID:38349928 | PMC:PMC10866048 | DOI:10.1080/17482631.2024.2313657 (Source: I...

The intersection between logical empiricism and qualitative nursing research: a post-structuralist analysis
CONCLUSIONS: I advocate for a shift from qualitative positivism towards more interpretive and post-qualitative inquiries, this work proposes new trajectories through interpretive, critical, post-qualitative, and artistic turns in nursing research, aiming to transcend positivist limitations and foster a plurality of perspectives and research as praxis. Implications emphasize the need for nursing researchers to expand methodological horizons, incorporating visual and artistic methods to enrich understanding and representation of health experiences, moving beyond positivist norms towards a more inclusive and ethically sound r...

The effect of HIV on patients' lives: a phenomenological qualitative study
CONCLUSION: Saudi patients diagnosed with HIV encounter numerous obstacles in their daily lives. The fear of the future, including concerns such as infecting family members, marriage prospects, employment opportunities, and potential social repercussions, significantly impacts their overall well-being. By understanding the lived experience of HIV patients in Saudi Arabia, healthcare providers and policymakers can better support and enhance the quality of life for this population.PMID:38340013 | PMC:PMC10860465 | DOI:10.1080/17482631.2024.2315634 (Source: International Journal of Qualitative Studies on Health and Well-being)

Fear, coping and support- from the perspective of children aged 10-17-year old having acute lymphoblastic leukemia
CONCLUSIONS: Children aged 10 to 17 undergoing treatment for ALL experience various fears. Each experience is individual and changes over time, but there are common patterns. Most children used problem-solving or emotional-regulation strategies, but withdrawal was also reported. Even children who can deal with fear need support from their health care professionals, families, and friends.PMID:38324664 | PMC:PMC10851796 | DOI:10.1080/17482631.2024.2310147 (Source: International Journal of Qualitative Studies on Health and Well-being)

Ethical challenges from a problem-solving intervention with workplace involvement: a qualitative study among employees with common mental disorders, first-line managers, and rehabilitation coordinators
CONCLUSION: Different organizational value logics, values, and goals can introduce ethical challenges. We advise clarifying stakeholders' roles and preparing employees and managers for the return to work process by providing sufficient information. The ethical challenges and suggested measures to minimize them, should be considered when planning return to work interventions that involve several stakeholders.PMID:38324667 | PMC:PMC10851822 | DOI:10.1080/17482631.2024.2308674 (Source: International Journal of Qualitative Studies on Health and Well-being)

CONCLUSIONS: Informants experienced moral distress when faced with challenges such as resource depletion, rules and regulations, and colleagues' decisions.

Public health nurses' experiences following up children with overweight and obesity according to national guidelines. A qualitative study
CONCLUSIONS: PHNs call for enough resources to communicate the results of the child's weight in a sufficient form. PHNs and families should establish common goals. The PHN should avoid one-way communication but meet the parents' concerns and needs. This requires the PHN to focus on building a secure relation to the child and the families, as described by Peplau. Guidelines must include instructions and tools on how to communicate and meet the family's concerns. Political action and increased funding could strengthen the follow-up and thereby prevent more obesity among children, which can be a predictor of poorer health out...

Family caregiver experiences and needs across health conditions, relationships, and the lifespan: a Qualitative analysis
CONCLUSIONS: These findings emphasize that many elements of the caregiving experience transcend care recipient age, condition, and relationship and are applicable to clinicians, researchers, and policy makers. The evidence of shared caregiver experiences can guide efficiencies in policy and practice (e.g., pooling of existing resources, expansion of interventions) to meet the needs of a broader population of caregivers.PMID:38213230 | PMC:PMC10791097 | DOI:10.1080/17482631.2023.2296694 (Source: International Journal of Qualitative Studies on Health and Well-being)
