▼ Past research shows that bodily experiences can activate concepts to which they are metaphorically linked and can influence judgments in other unrelated domains. Although some studies have focused on experiences that have a direct semantic correspondence to the target being judged (e.g., experience of physical warmth affects judgments of how “warm” a person is, experience of a fishy odor leads people to consider something as “fishy or suspicious” etc.), other embodied experiences do not fall into this category because they have a dynamic, directional character that is hard to capture in pure semantic terms (e.g., the experience of running one’s hands through water or stroking the fur of a pet in a particular direction). I suggest that these experiences have not only a sensory aspect (e.g., “wet” or “soft”) but a motor component as well that suggests movement in a specific direction. Captured linguistically in what are called dynamic orientation metaphors, the motor component of such experiences is important because it suggests movement in a particular direction. Characteristics of the movement (type and direction) have implications for behavior. I examine one such experience, the physical experience of going against the flow, and show how it can influence judgments and decisions in two different domains: Consumer choice and persuasion. I show in a series of experiments that the sensorimotor experience of going against the flow affects the choices consumers make with participants picking products that are normatively less preferred. Further, I find that this effect only holds when the sensorimotor sensation is self-experienced and when people have to rely on their own internal sense of flow (i.e., when there is no external norm provided). When extended to the persuasion domain, I find that these experiences affect an individual’s desire to resist a persuasive message. A series of studies also shows that this effect is more evident when the experience is acquired actively (i.e., is volitional). This research important because it moves the embodied cognition literature from work that explores sensations that have descriptive terms in language to a consideration of more dynamic sensations that have a motor aspect. Such experiences, because they involve action and direction, possess the power to alter not only what people choose in unrelated situations (i.e., their behavior) but also their inclination to protest against a persuasive message.

▼ Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a common condition affecting women. POP symptoms are associated with perineal, abdominal and pelvic discomfort, bladder and bowel disorders and psychological distress. POP is often treated with pelvic floor muscle exercises (PFME) and/or surgery. It is known that women with POP have problems with long-term adherence to PFME and, therefore, investigating PFME adherence in women with POP will provide information that may help improve future treatment outcomes. Five women participated in the current study, all of whom had previously taken part in the intervention arm of a randomised controlled trial of PFME for POP called the Pelvic Organ Prolapse Physiotherapy (POPPY) trial. The aim of the current qualitative study was to explore the experiences of these women regarding their on-going practice of PFME. The five participants were interviewed using a semi-structured approach by the researcher who had been their physiotherapist in the original trial. The interviews were transcribed verbatim, then analysed using an Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) approach. Three core themes were identified in the analysis, namely, (1) Patterns of PFME Behaviour, (2) PFME Maintenance Cycles and (3) Family as Priority. The first theme named 'Patterns of PFME Behaviour', describes exercise characteristics and behaviours. The second theme, named 'PFME Maintenance Cycles' captured the participantsʼ responses to and evaluations of their exercise experience and related to PFME self-efficacy. The third theme, named 'Family as Priority' was expressed in terms of either putting family first at the expense of caring for ones self, or successfully combining the priorities of family and self . The three identified themes are discussed in relation to the literature on POP, and the generalised health behaviour models of the transtheoretical model of change (TTM) and the health action process approach (HAPA). In summary, PFME behaviours were identified as having shared and eclectic patterns and routines. PFME maintenance cycles were discussed in terms of the participantsʼ responses to and evaluation of doing PFME, and also concepts about self-efficacy. Family was identified as a priority affecting the womenʼs adherence to PFME for POP. The experiences of women in this study were congruent with other qualitative studies in finding that routines were helpful in establishing PFME behaviours and declining PFME behaviours over time were common; a main difference was the substantive theme around family as priority which is not so evident in prior studies about pelvic floor muscle exercise adherence. Clinically this suggests that health professionals could include questions about the family in assessment and consider in what way the family might influence exercise behaviours.

▼ Background Giving birth is one of the most important events in a woman’s life, and is a highly individualistic and unique experience with many physical, physiological and psycho-social changes in the woman’s life that requires support, help and motivation, not only from professional carers but also from family members. Aim The aim of this study was to survey women’s childbirth experiences in two state hospitals in KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) Province in South Africa, in an attempt to identify women’s experiences of labour and birth. Method A non-experimental, quantitative survey was conducted in two state hospitals in the eThekwini District of KZN. Population included all post-partum patients in urban KZN hospitals where the research was conducted. Purposive sampling was used. Two hundred and one low risk mothers; 119 (59%) from hospital A and 82 (41%) from hospital B responded to the Childbirth Experience Questionnaire (CEQ). Data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results Results denoted both positive and negative childbirth experiences with positive childbirth experiences being dominant on almost all domains of the Childbirth Experience Questionnaire. A high level of women’s experienced capacity and experienced good professional care and support as well as professional skills were found to be associated with a positive childbirth experience. Negative childbirth experiences were reported mostly in additional comments by few respondents. These negative experiences were found to be linked to women’s poor relationships with staff, a lack of information, neglect and abandonment and not receiving pain relief. Problems such as the shortage of staff and an unfriendly environment were identified to affect childbirth support, leading to a negative experience. Uncleanliness and lack of privacy contributed to feeling unsafe, and fear, anxiety and a lack of support influenced the experience of pain. Conclusion No birth story is exactly the same, and the study results showed that negative and positive experiences coexisted; however positive and satisfying childbirth experiences were dominant amongst the majority of the respondents in the current study. How mothers feel about their labour and birth, whether positive or negative, was found to depend on their individual labour process and outcome. Thus, from the women’s perspective, the study described childbirth experience as a multi-dimensional experience. Advisors/Committee Members: Brysiewicz, Petra. (advisor).

▼ Background: Admission on a closed acute psychiatric ward can cause burden to patients. This burden can be caused by coercive measures, but also by other harmful experiences during admission. Research into harmful experiences during psychiatric admission, and the burden they cause, is scarce. Aim: The aim of this study is to explore psychiatric patients’ burden, caused by harmful experiences during their admission on a closed acute ward. Method: This study is a cross-sectional observational study conducted within a larger study into the traumatic effects of coercive measures. Participants were voluntary or involuntary admitted psychiatric patients, who were exposed to seclusion, forced medication or restrictions on leaving the ward. The instruments used in this study are the Psychiatric Experiences Questionnaire and the Life events Checklist. Results: The findings of this study show that patients report high rates (an average of more than eight) of harmful experiences. Frequent mentioned experiences with the highest reported burden are “experiencing staff calling you names or bullying you in some other verbal way”, “being deprived of adequate food or nutrition”, “not having adequate privacy for bathing, dressing, or using the toilet” and “having medication used as a threat or punishment”. Conclusion: The most harmful experiences for patients on a closed acute ward are experiences related to the contact between patients and staff. Recommendations: Through knowledge about which experiences are harmful to patients, nurses can play an important role in preventing these experiences or in providing aftercare for experiences that cannot be eliminated. Future research is needed into the effects of harmful experiences on future treatment and the factors associated with perceived burden. Additionally, in policy and service development, as in developing nursing practice, patient experiences must play an important role. Advisors/Committee Members: Meijel, Berno van, Venne, Cokky van der.

▼ The current research examines a class of items that almost every consumer owns: mementos. Whether a photograph taken during a special event, souvenirs purchased on a vacation, or ticket stubs saved from a concert or movie, mementos are a nearly ubiquitous item owned or acquired at one point in time by almost every consumer.Chapter 1 focuses on why and when consumers desire mementos of experiences. While recent research suggests that the consumption of experiences compared to material goods is on the rise and furthermore leads to greater happiness, many experiences are still frequently accompanied by the consumption of material goods, most notably in the form of mementos. Existing accounts of why consumers acquire such mementos focus on the reminiscing utility and memory benefits that mementos provide. This research proposes that mementos also alleviate sadness that arises from the ending of a positive experience. Based on this understanding of mementos, this research further proposes that consumers are more likely to desire mementos when the end of an experience is approaching and feel sadness associated with that ending. These hypotheses are supported across five studies using a combination of methodologies, including laboratory experiments, field surveys, and field experiments, that encompass various experiences (football games, college, and vacations) and mementos (ticket stubs, photos, and mugs). This research offers practical insights to marketers on how to encourage product purchases, and provides novel and relevant insights into advancing our understanding of the co-consumption of experiences and material goods.Building on the previous chapter showing that mementos reduce the negative affect associated with the end of a positive experience, Chapter 2 explores how mementos may also affect the emotions from giving up items. Existing literature suggests that affective reaction contributes to the endowment effect; if mementos lessen negative affective reaction, then having a memento of an endowment should also weaken the endowment effect. This research demonstrates that mementos decrease selling prices and increase willingness to part with an endowment in three studies. Thus, this research not only identifies mementos as a moderator of this much-studied phenomenon, but also contributes to understanding the much-debated psychology underlining the endowment effect by providing additional evidence for affective reaction as one component of the endowment effect. Chapter 3 examines consumer happiness and well-being from mementos. Recent research suggests an experiential advantage in which consumers derive greater happiness from discretionary spending on experiences compared to material items. As material items that are also closely associated with experiences, mementos present an interesting point of comparison for both experiential and material purchases. While this research partly replicates earlier findings that discretionary spending on experiences makes consumers happier than spending on material items, the effect…

▼ “Like a human being, I was an equal, I wasn’t just a patient” Service users’ perspectives on their experiences of relationships with staff in mental health servicesKarin BachaUniversity of ManchesterProfessional Doctorate in Counselling Psychology February 2017AbstractBackground: Therapeutic relationships in psychiatry services have been shown to have a significant impact on outcomes for people in severe mental distress. Service user experience-based studies consistently show relationships are an important factor in either helping or hindering recovery. Few studies have conducted a detailed exploration into the interpersonal mechanisms within these relationships by asking service users directly about what emotional impact these relationships have had on them. This is important knowledge for improving the quality of mental healthcare for people in severe mental distress.Aims: The purpose was to co-create a piece of research with a service user organisation that explored services users’ experiences and perceptions of helpful and hindering relationships with mental health practitioners. The aim was to gain a greater understanding of the components in the relationship that brought about psychological change. Little research about relationships in psychiatry settings has been conducted in collaboration with service users outside of government-led mental health services. Participants: Eight participants were recruited from the service user organisation. The participants self-reported as having a mental health problem. Seven of the eight participants had long-term experience of using psychiatry services.Method: This research was service user-informed. The data was collected using single in-depth interviews focused on service users’ views of their relationships with mental health practitioners. Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) methodology was used to analyse the data and explore the participants’ lived experiences of relationships in mental health services.Findings: The main themes identified were ‘Trying to survive: am I a person or just an object in the system’, ‘Traumatic experiences and relationships’ and ‘Transformative relationships’. The findings showed the transformative components of these relationships were power, security and identity. The findings highlighted how the participants experienced a relationship to the system of psychiatry through their relationships with staff.Conclusions: How the components of power, security and identity were managed by practitioners determined whether relationships helped or hindered recovery.The responsibility for relationships in psychiatry needs to be broadened beyond the interpersonal relationship provided by practitioners. The systemic institution of psychiatry based on statutory control, risk aversion, the biomedical model and under resourcing were a cause of many of the problems in relationships in psychiatry settings. Keywords: Mental health, psychiatry, relationships, service users’ experiences, Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. Advisors/Committee Members: WINTER, LAURA LA, Hanley, Terry, Winter, Laura.

▼ With the advancements in technology, there has been a significant reduction in the classical risk factors at the workplace like biological, chemical and physical harms. But with the turn of the era, much attention has been focused on psychosocial stressors at work which are thought to affect employees’ occupational functioning and health. Amongst all healthcare professionals, nurses are the most likely to be assaulted. Moreover, violence towards mental health nurses has been both a reality and concern due to increasingly violent patient population and the devastating effects of violence on the victim. The study aims to explore and describe mental health nurses’ experiences of patient assaults. Thirteen Registered Nurses and one Enrolled Nurse working in different nursing positions within the Southern District Health Board (Otago region) - Mental Health Services were interviewed using a semi structured interview format. The data gathered from these interviews was interpreted using thematic analysis and coded into 24 sub-themes. The sub-themes were related to the sequence and impact of assaults on the participants. Through an ongoing interpretative process, three over-arching themes emerged. The themes were analysed further to allow conceptual meanings to be interpreted relating to the experiences of patient assaults. The major findings of the study related to the nature and impact of assaults and supportive strategies associated with violence against mental health nurses. Perpetrator risk factors include mental health disorders, substance abuse and situational crises. The injuries sustained by the nurses include lacerations, head injuries, dislocations, asphyxia and bruises. Psychological harm has also occurred including Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Some of the injuries sustained have required weeks of recovery. In other cases, nurses have chosen to change areas of practice because of their fears and concerns. Protective strategies for combating negative consequences of violence include practicing self-defence, social support, reporting violent activity or threats of violence to authority and police and a supportive and consultative workplace culture with access to counselling services and assistance in all aspects including finances. Although physical injuries heal relatively quickly, emotional and psychological wounds linger for longer and can interfere with personal and professional lifestyles for months or years after the incident. Employers need to provide better support services to health care professionals who are assaulted and the legal system needs to acknowledge that assaults against nurses is a violation of human rights and violence is not to be tolerated as part of working in mental healthcare services.

▼ Not all disabilities are the same and the way that society may respond to people with disabilities depends on their “disability” and how their body deviates from the appearance norms of society. People with disabilities constitute a significant portion of the South African population. A body of research and physical evidence shows that people with disabilities may face certain obstacles or limitations in fulfilling a normal life. Obstacles include perceptions of disabilities, negative stigma and attitudes, barriers to an environment which is accessible for people with disabilities, and constructions of ableism. In a way, these obstacles influence the way people with disabilities construct their identity. Beyond this, the voices of people with disabilities are not always heard and their personal experiences are not always given political recognition. This research aimed to explore how a group of students living with a physical or visual disability constructed their identities in their environment or society. A feminist qualitative method was conducted. The study focused on the experiences and perceptions of nineteen to twenty-seven year old female and male students with disabilities. Out of the six participants, two were coloured, three were black and one participant is classified as coloured, but identifies as biracial. A semi-structured interview was used for data collection and a Qualitative Thematic Analysis was used to analyse the data. Social constructionism and intersectionality were useful theoretical approaches adopted in exploring the lived experiences of students with disabilities. The results of this study revealed that students with disabilities find living with a disability as not being a barrier to living a fulfilling life. Students with disabilities construct their identities in a way that frees them from ideologies which shape the experience of disability in a negative way. However, the study revealed that negative barriers to identity construction still exist. These barriers come in the form of negative perceptions and stigma of disability, ableism and the medical model. The study further revealed that when the lived experiences of students with disabilities are understood through the lens of gender, race and class, these social divisions overlap and are cumulative on the effects of student’s experiences. The one major barrier in identity construction that the study revealed is the negative social perceptions of disability. The way in which students feel that they belong in their society is representative of how they respond to negative social constructions of disability.

▼ The purpose of this study was to explore the counselling aspects perceived to be helpful and unhelpful by rape survivors in South Africa. While there is some existing South African literature on rape and the efficacy of rape treatments, very few studies exist which focus on rape counselling from the survivor’s perspective. Exploring the subjective experiences of counselling from a rape survivor’s point of view allowed us to further our theoretical understanding of mediational processes in counselling, test our understanding of existing theories and to also contribute to improving counselling techniques. This study was conducted using a qualitative research approach. Semi-structured interviews with 5 adult participants who had survived a rape experience and who had sought and concluded counselling at a local rape crisis centre were conducted. Interview transcripts were analysed using an interpretative phenomenological approach (IPA) and relevant themes and sub-themes that emerged from these transcripts were interpreted and discussed. The majority of helpful counselling aspects centred on the quality of the therapeutic relationship between the counsellor and the rape survivor. Specific aspects relating to the counsellor’s personality as well as the way in which certain techniques were implemented in counselling were described as facilitating the restoration of survivors’ sense of dignity as well as contributing to an increased sense of connection and trust following the trauma. Important considerations for a South African context included the provision of practical and social support, follow up counselling and interventions that increase survivors sense of safety. This is likely to benefit South African survivors who may not have adequate access to resources, and therefore health services needed for recovery, as well as those who are at risk for coming into contact with the perpetrator. The inclusion of these aspects into future rape counselling programmes will likely contribute to a more holistic and meaningful counselling experience for rape survivors in South Africa.

▼ This research set out to explore the scholastic experiences of immigrant learners at a secondary school in Sydenham. Participants were immigrant children from the Democratic Republic of Congo and Burundi. They were aged between thirteen and eighteen years old, and had all resided in South Africa for less than ten years. The study adopted a qualitative methodology using a narrative inquiry approach. To ensure valid data, one-on-one interviews, a focus-group discussion and observations were conducted, as well as document analysis of a diary I asked participants to keep for the duration of the data collection period. This study was based on Ogbu’s (1978) cultural ecological theory of minority academic achievement and Fredrickson’s (1998) broaden-and-build theory. A few findings emerged from the study. Firstly, it was found that language played a critical role regarding academic and social acceptance at secondary school level. Learners who did not grow up being exposed to English (the language of instruction) were disadvantaged academically and often required translation from other peers who spoke their native language. Furthermore, immigrant learners were often excluded from social groups at school due to the fact that they could not speak a South African indigenous language (in this case, isiZulu). These findings supported existing literature regarding the linguistic challenges faced by immigrant students. The second finding that emerged from the study was that a sense of belonging was a crucial factor that determined the scholastic experiences of immigrant learners. Learners who felt isolated at school (either academically or socially) displayed poor academic performance and learners who felt a sense of belonging performed at a higher level. The concept of acculturation was the third theme examined in this study. All participants felt that they could not understand the culture of the South African students. Some of them found behaviours such as smoking, gambling, underage drinking, wearing revealing clothing and teenage sexual activity to be abhorrent, and as a result, did not want to be part of the dominant culture. Others were able to accept these aspects of South African culture without emulating them. The two theories used hold that voluntary immigrants are generally higher achievers; however, this study showed that this is not always the case. An involuntary immigrant was able to achieve high marks, in contradiction to what Ogbu (1978) postulates. The findings were consistent with Fredrickson’s broaden-and-build theory because learners who possessed a high level of resilience produced far superior academic results compared with learners with low levels of resilience.

▼ Background: Cerebral palsy is the most common type of childhood neurological and developmental disability (Dababneh, 2013; Rosenbaum et al., 2006; Shikako-Thomas et al., 2009; Waters et al., 2005). It is estimated that a total of 2 to 2.5 of every 1000 live births are of children who have CP (Rosenbaum, 2003; Schiariti et al., 20014), resulting in a considerable number of parents and families who are raising a child with CP (Reid et al., 2011). The review of the literature identified that globally mothers were most often the primary caregivers of these children and as a result they experienced several physical, social and emotional challenges. It was also identified that culture played an important role in shaping mothers' experiences. However, there is an absence of qualitative studies that explore the experiences of mothers caring for children with CP in Arabic countries in general and none in Oman in particular. Aim: The aim of this study was to develop a theory that explains the experience of mothering a child with CP in the Omani culture. Methodology: Charmaz's (2014) approach to grounded theory research informed sampling, data collection and the analysis process. The study was conducted in the two largest governorates in Oman (Muscat and North Batinah). 23 Omani mothers caring for children (5 to 18 years) diagnosed with CP were recruited through purposive and theoretical sampling from a hospital and five community-based rehabilitation centres. Semi-structured interviews including 23 face-to-face interviews and six follow-up telephone interviews were used for data collection. Findings: The findings of the study suggest that the beliefs of Islam and the Omani culture influenced the mothers' daily experiences in caring for their children with CP. "Being a patient (sabir) mother" is the theory that was developed from the data and explains the mothersÃ¢Â€Â™ perceptions and beliefs about being a mother of a child with CP and their actions and roles in caring for their child with CP. This theory links the two subcategories: "patience (sabr) as faith" and "practising patience (sabr)". "Patience (sabr) as faith" presents the mothers' religious beliefs and how these beliefs encouraged them to accept with patience (sabr) being a mother of a child with CP. "Practising patience (sabr)" explains how the mothers were patient (sabir) in performing their actions and roles in caring for their children with CP. Discussion: The study revealed a unique cultural experience of caring for a child with CP for mothers. Religious beliefs and social values appeared to play an important role in the mothers' experiences of caring for their child with CP. Islamic religious beliefs were a major source of emotional support that transformed the mothers' experiences of caring for a child with CP from one of hardship to one of value. In addition, the Omani culture was an important source of support that resulted in the mothers appearing to have a more positive experience of caring for a child with CP when compared to the literature describing the… Advisors/Committee Members: FALLON, DEBORAH D, Kirk, Susan, Fallon, Deborah.
