▼ South Africa has among the highest burden of HIV
infections in the world.
Research has shown that outreach efforts,
such as community mobilization, play an important role in
mitigating the incidence of HIV infection within South Africa
through efforts in altering social norms and creating community
dialogue among those who may not be HIV positive, but at risk.
Sonke Gender Justice and Movement for Change and Social Justice,
both grassroots organizations in Cape Town, South Africa have a
main purpose of addressing HIV and AIDS, gender inequality, and
human rights. Within the organizations, there are community health
workers who work closely with men and women in Cape Town
communities in addressing the need to mobilize people at high risk
for HIV. These community mobilizers join together to take action
within their communities, addressing issues such as gender
inequality, sexual and reproductive health, and human rights.
Through 16 semi-structured
qualitative interviews with community
mobilization workers, working with Sonke Gender Justice or MCSJ, we
gathered data on perceptions of community mobilization and the work
they do. We found three main themes that emerged from the
participants’ responses. Participants displayed motivating factors
such as feelings of support from their families and communities,
personal recruitment as a motivator to join their organization,
engaging and informing their communities as a motivation to
perform, the murder of a community member to unify the community,
and feelings of pride and leadership associated with their work as
community mobilizers. Perceptions of the community mobilization
workers included their perceptions of youth community members, a
change in perception associated with engaging in community
mobilization, negative perceptions of HIV/AIDS throughout the
community, presence of gender inequalities in the community, and
positive perceptions of their community mobilization organization.
Health literacy among the community was mentioned by participants,
and well as displaying how they are able to inform and educate
their community. This study runs parallel to the i-ALARM project, a
five-year, NIH funded study that aims to increase male adherence to
HIV care in South Africa.

▼ Objectives: To determine how people who use drugs
(PWUD) perceive and utilize overdose prevention material, and to
evaluate action-based, plain language content on Rhode Island’s
overdose surveillance and information dashboard,
www.PreventOverdoseRI.org. Methods: We conducted 21 semi-structured
qualitative interviews with PWUD from February-June 2017 in the
state of Rhode Island. Data were audio-recorded, transcribed, coded
in NVivo (Version 11), and key themes were developed. Results:
Participants viewed online health promotion and harm reduction
materials as a useful approach for overdose prevention. Information
displayed as accessible, action-driven statements was seen as most
desirable for learning and dissemination. After viewing overdose
prevention material, participants reported feeling better prepared
for responding to an accidental overdose and motivated to share the
infographics and website to other people either at risk for or
likely to witness an overdose. Conclusions: Action-focused, plain
language approaches for overdose prevention materials can be
effective and of particular use for public health campaigns
addressing the United States opioid crisis. Overdose prevention
health campaigns should incorporate evidence-based testing to
ensure that outreach material is grounded in plain language
techniques.

Paths to Specialty Selection: A Lens on Women Physicians
& Medical Practice and Leadership: Experiences of Women

▼ Paths to Specialty Selection: A Lens on Women
Physicians Abstract Background: Women now comprise more than half
of medical school classes in the US. However, women are
underrepresented in some areas of medicine and overrepresented in
others. Additionally, women are more likely to practice part-time
than are men. Past
research is lacking on the reasons, motivations,
insights, and opinions behind specialty selection and how women in
medicine practice. Using rigorous
qualitative methodology, our
study seeks to develop a richer understanding and insight regarding
the decision-making process of women in choosing their specialties
of medical practice. Methods: Semi-structured interviews were
conducted with 30 board-certified physicians. A post-interview
questionnaire was administered. Results: Five major themes with
subthemes were identified in analysis of the transcripts. First,
female physicians note that having an interest and passion for a
specialty is crucial for selection. Second, having personal
experiences with a specialty helps guide selection. Third,
‘work-life’ balance is a critical consideration in selecting a
specialty. Fourth, some areas of specialty are viewed as more
welcoming to women than others. Lastly, women note differences in
how their male counterparts may choose their areas of medical
practices. Conclusions: Specialty selection is a multi-dimensional
decision. Appropriate support and guidance from medical
institutions is crucial in order to diversify representation of
women in all specialties. Our findings, based on reports from
respondents, appear to be systemic, national, and not localized to
one specialty, age group, or geographic location. Medical Practice
and Leadership: Experiences of Women Physicians Abstract Purpose:
Past
research has named numerous gender-specific challenges for
women in medicine. This includes challenges for women aspiring to,
and maintaining, medical leadership positions. However, this
research has been largely quantitative. Using
qualitative
methodology, our study aims to further understand the experiences
and challenges facing women in medical careers, as well as the
impact of these experiences on academic leadership aspirations.
This information can inform recommendations to support women in
professional practice and medical leadership. Method:
Semi-structured interviews were conducted nationally with 30
board-certified physicians. A post-interview questionnaire was
administered. Interviews were audio-recorded, de-identified,
transcribed, and entered into NVIVO software to aid in analysis.
Codes were applied in accordance with modified grounded theory to
identify cross cutting themes. An audit trail was kept. Results:
Six major themes with subthemes were identified in analysis of the
transcripts. First, female physicians note microagressions and
discrimination in professional practice. Second, female gender may
impact how patients interact with physicians. Third, lack of
advancement into leadership positions is a key concern. Fourth,
there has been a recent ‘cohort…

▼ This thesis aims to identify success factors for a potential Hungarian restaurant in the Republic of Azerbaijan. The study evaluates what opportunities lay in the Azerbaijani catering market as well as how a potential new foreign restaurant could be developed to achieve success in the country.
Chapter 1 on this paper focuses on market
research from a theoretical perspective. Its definition, characteris-tics and processes are introduced to understand how to carry out a successful market study. In Chapter 2, the theoretical basis of restaurant development is discussed, identifying the key areas and concepts new restaurant start-ups need to be aware of to assure success. Chapter 3 presents the results of the Azerbaijani catering industry dynamics, showcases underlying opportunities for restaurant start-ups, and evaluates in what ways the potential restaurant could be developed to establish itself successfully in Azerbaijan. Lastly, Chapter 4 provides conclusions and recommendations in case an actual project of opening a Hungarian restaurant in Azerbaijan were to be carried out.
The
research method utilized in this study is
qualitative interviewing of area experts, and secondary
research for quantitative market data. Based on the results and observations, it can be concluded that there are opportunities for a potential Hungarian restaurant in the Azerbaijani catering market. They can succeed by developing a high-quality, traditionally conceptualized restaurant in the center of Baku, the capital of the country.

▼ The aim of the study was to describe and analyze the perception of school community and
deaf students towards inclusive education in Afeteysa primary and secondary school of Dire
Dawa. In order to achieve the purpose of the study, basic
research questions were raised.
Qualitative research design was employed so as to understand the situation in the setting.
Purposive sampling procedures were also used. To get the required information from the
participants about the
research the participants of the study were comprised of six deaf
students from grade seven to ten (7-10), and there were five males and one female. Four of
them were profoundly pre-lingual deaf, and two were profoundly post-lingual deaf.
Moreover, key- informants such as 7 SNE Teachers, 2 principals as well as the School
counselor were also involved. The data obtained were analyzed through descriptive method.
The method that the researcher was used was also interview, observation and FGD. The
following major findings were obtained. Those are 1) all of the participants of teachers,
principals and students with hearing impairments perceive inclusive education positively. 2)
Inclusive education has both academic and social benefits for all students and has an
opportunity to develop communication and social interaction. 3) There was limited
understanding, lack of commitment and willingness on the side of the school director. 4) The
Deaf children have developed their confidence in their participation, social interaction with
their hearing peers, they can also be active participants in their academics. The study
concludes that there was a need to foster more positive attitudes among the school
community the inclusive education is to be implemented.

▼ Background: Paediatric pharmacovigilance is a recognised priority due to the vulnerability of children to adverse drug reactions (ADRs). The UK Yellow Card Scheme is central to pharmacovigilance, but other complementary methods have been suggested. The introduction of the community health index (CHI) in all NHS contacts in Scotland provides opportunities to link prescribing and health utilization data and thereby identify new ADR signals. The views of healthcare professionals (HCPs) on the linkage of NHS data for pharmacovigilance purposes in children have not been explored: the aim of this research was to explore the acceptability of linking routinely collected healthcare data to inform the design of a new system for pharmacovigilance in children. Methods: A mixed methods study was conducted involving interviews, focus-groups and a threeround Delphi survey with HCPs in Scotland. The survey was structured using the Theoretical Domains Framework of behaviour change. Results were triangulated. Ethical approval was granted by the North of Scotland Research Ethics Service. Results Interviews (n=23) identified issues with security, anonymisation and legal challenges that should be addressed prior to implementation. Focus-group participants (n=22, 6 groups) additionally identified potential issues with the feasibility of the planned data linkage and latent liability issues from dissemination of findings. The Delphi survey initially covered the issues identified in the preceding work. Retained items after three rounds focused on professional standards, requirements for linkage and the use and format of feedback. The proposed data linkage was perceived as positive and necessary, with participants in all three studies highlighting the benefits for research and for patients. Conclusion: The development of a paediatric linked database has support from professional stakeholders and HCPs in Scotland. The proposed data linkage was perceived to meet a service need. No insurmountable issues were identified, but key issues should be addressed prior to implementation.

▼ The purpose of this
research was to enrich our
understanding of why large organisations have not performed in
low-income markets relative to middle- to high-income markets
through an understanding of their market orientation in these
markets. The
research sought to establish whether an organisation
can have more than one instance of market orientation in its chosen
markets. The literature asserts that the bottom-of-the-pyramid
approach to earning corporate profits has gained considerable
attention and has awakened managers to the potential of serving an
underserved market and alleviating the level of global poverty
while still earning a profit (Pitta et al. 2008). South African
companies have heeded the call to play a role and have targeted
low-income markets, but, disappointingly, have achieved limited
success. Contrary to the situation in relation to low-income
markets, South African firms serving middle- to high-income markets
have achieved market success through effective business models and
orientation towards their markets. The
qualitative study showed
that an organisation indeed can have more than one instance of
market orientation, as managers responsible for low-income markets
experience challenges across all market orientation activities,
relative to their middle- to high-income market
counterparts.

evident. Lack of adequate information and options, inaccessible
facilities and examination rooms, and uncertainties about
contraceptive care by health care professionals all came to surface
by reviewing the literature. The purpose of the study was to
explore the experiences of women who are wheelchair bound in
attaining contraceptive and gynecological care. In using a focused
ethnographic approach, ten women completed an online survey and an
unstructured interview exploring their experience in attaining
contraceptives, with the health care facilities, their relationship
with health care providers, and they were asked about what could be
done to better their experience. Transcripts of the interviews were
analyzed using a structured 10-step interpretive thematic analysis
with constant back checking. Although the women differed in their
experiences with contraceptives, they were unanimous in the
importance of being in control of their sexual health. The gap in
knowledge of the various methods was evident and the women agreed
they were unsatisfied with the current contraceptive options they
were using. The women deemed the suggestion of more accessible
contraceptive information advantageous. Improved facilities,
especially examination beds with adjustable heights would
significantly benefit the experience of women in wheelchairs in
attaining gynecological care. Also, having health care
professionals being open and educated about the sexual health needs
of women who are wheelchair bound would also be beneficial. The
women all desired to have individualized contraceptive care, which
would allow them to collaborate with their health care providers
and select a contraceptive method best suited to them as an
individual.

▼ Excessive sugar consumption may adversely affect
maternal and fetal health. This study explored influences on
women’s sugar consumption behaviours during pregnancy using focused
ethnography. Fifteen pregnant women were interviewed and
qualitative content analysis was used to inductively derive themes.
Pregnant women increased their intake of sugars in an effort to
achieve a compromise between meeting nutrition recommendations,
lifestyle adjustments, physical symptoms, and cultural norms. Some
women maintained their sugar intake compared to non-pregnancy as
part of their dietary routine. Women who lowered their sugar intake
had made a conscious decision and were motivated by personal and
fetal health. Physical symptoms, lack of nutritional guidance, and
social pressures were identified as barriers to achieving a diet
low in sugars, while implementing dietary strategies guided by
nutritional knowledge was a facilitator. This research provides
important insights that may be used to design effective
interventions to improve maternal health.

▼ Research Objectives: Health care stakeholders are working together to form alliances and collaborate on quality improvement (QI) work at the community level. A key step is to develop what some have termed a “QI infrastructure.” However, there is little empirical evidence to guide alliances in developing the QI strategies and programs that comprise this infrastructure. The purpose of this study is to determine the key components of community-level QI, develop a system to measure QI infrastructure, and examine the relationship between infrastructure and outcomes.
Study Design: Using a multiple case study approach we examine the evolution of QI work in communities participating in the Aligning Forces for Quality (AF4Q) program. AF4Q is a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation effort, providing multi-stakeholder alliances with funding and technical assistance to lift the overall quality of health care. Using the AF4Q
qualitative data, cases were analyzed to determine how alliances attempt community-level QI, comparing the commonalities and differences. Based on the findings from the cross-case analysis a system to measure community-level QI was developed. Regression analysis was used to examine the relationship between community-level QI and health care outcomes.
Population Studied: This thesis examines multi-stakeholder alliances (payers, providers, consumers, and purchasers) in 14 communities. The alliances represent a diverse set of communities across the nation, including states, metropolitan areas, and rural counties (e.g., Minnesota, Cleveland, Humboldt County, CA). The alliances vary in a number of contexts, including its experience with community-level QI, the size and composition of the health care delivery system, resources, economic climate, and needs.
Principal Findings: Through the cross-case analysis we conclude that there are several components of community-level QI (strategy, resources, measurement, stakeholder engagement, leadership, neutral forum for collaboration, and Health Information Technology). Successful alliances also facilitate QI interventions, work across provider settings, and include patient-centered approaches. There was variation across alliances related to the maturity of the QI infrastructure. Alliances with lower infrastructure scores had fewer resources and QI governance and strategies that were less organized. Several alliances with mid-range scores had strong histories of measurement and reporting. These alliances initially focused on its strengths and are only more recently developing QI strategies and initiatives. The alliances with higher infrastructure scores had well-balanced activities across all infrastructure components. Finally, a significant relationship was found between infrastructure and three QI outcomes for diabetic patients (blood lipid testing, eye exams, and hospital admissions).
Conclusions: This study provides detailed context on how alliances develop community-level QI programs. Local context is important in establishing community-level QI and the AF4Q alliances…

▼ The purpose of this
research was to enrich our
understanding of why large organisations have not performed in
low-income markets relative to middle- to high-income markets
through an understanding of their market orientation in these
markets. The
research sought to establish whether an organisation
can have more than one instance of market orientation in its chosen
markets. The literature asserts that the bottom-of-the-pyramid
approach to earning corporate profits has gained considerable
attention and has awakened managers to the potential of serving an
underserved market and alleviating the level of global poverty
while still earning a profit (Pitta et al. 2008). South African
companies have heeded the call to play a role and have targeted
low-income markets, but, disappointingly, have achieved limited
success. Contrary to the situation in relation to low-income
markets, South African firms serving middle- to high-income markets
have achieved market success through effective business models and
orientation towards their markets. The
qualitative study showed
that an organisation indeed can have more than one instance of
market orientation, as managers responsible for low-income markets
experience challenges across all market orientation activities,
relative to their middle- to high-income market
counterparts.

▼ Postoperative pain is a major concern to patients undergoing surgical procedures but little research has been conducted on pain management after hospital discharge for orthopaedic patients. Since pain medication is a key component of pain management, it is important to study medication usage from a patient’s perspective, for greater patient–health care provider concordance. A qualitative descriptive approach was taken to investigate the experience of 14 participants with managing pain at home immediately after total knee arthroplasty. Most participants limited their consumption and weaned themselves off prescription analgesics and used over-the-counter pain medications. The participants adapted their regimens in response to several factors and generally were content to self-manage their pain but required access to professional support. The study suggests that when developing postoperative pain management plans, health care providers may need to increase the time they spend addressing patients’ concerns and considering patients’ preferences.

▼ This phenomenological study was conducted to bring together a better understanding of the socio-cultural aspects regarding the home, school and community to the Hmong student experience. Two core theories, Bronfenbrenner's Ecological Systems Theory of Development (1977, 1979) and Critical Race Theory (Delgado & Stefancic, 2001) woven together provided the conceptual framework to explore the contextual factors that contributed to six first-generation Hmong undergraduate students??? post-secondary experience, with a particular interest in examining six Hmong parents' perception of the role they play in their students' educational journey.
This study concludes that the college experience for first-generation Hmong undergraduate students may not be just one way to go about creating habitus transformation, but the only way. Thus, getting Hmong students into college could be arguably not just necessary for economic growth but for realizing America???s promise where people can come and co-exist fruitfully and peacefully.

▼ Photovoice is a Participatory Action Research (PAR) method that generates knowledge about the lived experiences of members of marginalized communities. Participants are understood to be experts of their experiences and are asked to take photos of their lives. Photovoice is highly flexible in application and participants can have varying degrees of involvement in components of the method, from design to dissemination of findings. Although providing opportunity for a high degree of participation is ideal, this is less frequently demonstrated in the literature. To understand the impact of participation on the type of information generated, individuals living in supportive housing were asked to share their experiences of their housing. Perspectives of consumers of supportive housing have had little presence in the housing literature, particularly within a photovoice framework. Therefore, this research asked consumers about their housing as well as how they experienced their participation across two photovoice projects that afforded more and less opportunity for participation.
This dissertation consists of three studies conducted on two distinct projects. Studies 1 and 2 were conducted on the HousingPlus Photovoice Project, an investigator initiated and driven application of photovoice. Study1 examined what can be learned about supportive housing and revealed rich information about participants’ experiences with their housing. Study 2 examined experiences of stakeholders with the photovoice method, including participants and project contributors. Study 2 revealed three distinct approaches to photography: planned, discovery-oriented, and task-oriented approaches to photography. Participants who used a discovery-oriented approach tended to benefit the most from this project. Contributors shared the common value of supporting participation but had divergent perspectives of the photographs, an important product of participation. Contributors tended to focus either on the external or internal photo narratives.
Study 3 was conducted on the Home Photovoice Project, which was initiated and run by a community-based agency. This second project provided a point of comparison to determine whether a more participatory application of photovoice would result in similar or distinct findings related to supportive housing and stakeholder experiences with the method. Although the three distinct styles of participation observed in the HousingPlus Photovoice Project were also observed in the Home Photovoice Project, most participants developed a planned approach to photography over time. Participants who began with a planned or task-oriented approach tended to benefit the most from this more participatory application of photovoice. More was learned about shared participant experiences and perspectives in the Home Photovoice Project. In contrasting these projects it is apparent that the choice of methodological focus significantly impacts the photos and narratives produced, approaches to participation, and stakeholder experiences of…

▼ The purpose of this study was to explore the experiences of practitioners and scholars in the field of positive youth development through physical activity (PA-PYD) and gather what they have learned during their experience. The primary investigator conducted interviews with a purposeful sample of 10 expert practitioners (5 men and 5 women) in the field of PA-PYD that met inclusion criteria. Participants had a combined 162 years of experience running or researching 24 different PA-PYD programs that took place in 11 different countries. A semantic thematic analysis was conducted to systemically code, categorize, and distill the shared experiences of the participants. The results were organized into five primary themes according to what was shared: (a.) Participants’ journey (b.) Participants’ values (c.) Key factors to consider in perceivably effective programming, (d.) Common barriers, (e.) Strategies for navigating barriers. Finally, these results were then discussed within the scope of systems theory in an effort to propose strategies and future
research directions that might better inform PA-PYD future practitioners that aim to achieve distal outcomes within complex systems.

▼ Registered sex offenders in North Dakota were interviewed regarding their experiences with being on the registry. Results from the coded transcripts indicate that offenders felt the registry made finding housing and employment more difficult. Additionally, participants reported feeling the registry negatively impacted their ability to be involved in community organizations and impacted how they interacted with others, including forming supportive relationships. Participants also completed surveys, assessing general psychological symptoms, general stress levels, and demographic information, including registration requirement information. No significant relationships between sex offenders' registry requirements and psychological symptoms were found. Conclusions and implications for future
research are discussed.

▼ This thesis begins with contemporary qualitative research, where the extent of what is understood about human experience is reduced to the representations constructed by researchers. In this situation, where the qualitative researcher has a monopoly on the representation produced, there is no scope for a consideration of the expressive nature of language – in particular, the way that language discloses the world differently for each individual person. Thus, the aim of this thesis is to develop a theoretical approach for understanding the personal realities of the people involved in qualitative research that reinstates the centrality of the dialogic in understanding.

Putting Men Back in the Menstrual Cycle: A Qualitative Analysis of Men's Perceptions of Menstruation.

▼ Although menstruation is typically regarded as an indication of health (Kissling, 1996), strong cultural messages about menstruation perpetuate the belief that it is dirty, disgusting and a state that must be managed (Ussher, 2006). Many women internalize this belief and go to great lengths to hide their menstrual status (Chrisler, 2007). Negative attitudes toward menstruation have been linked to decreased body satisfaction (Schooler, Ward, Meriwether, & Caruthers, 2005), perceptions of decreased competence and likability (Roberts, Goldenberg, Power, & Pyszynski, 2002), and the belief that menstruating women are more emotional, less attractive, and more irritable than non-menstruating women (Forbes, Adams-Curtis, White, & Holmgren, 2003). Whereas there is a relatively large body of literature regarding the significance of women and girls' experiences of menstruation, comparatively little is known about the development of men's attitudes towards menstruation. The lack of focus on how men learn and think about menstruation may have important implications on their attitudes toward women, particularly in their gendered relationships. Therefore, a grounded theory approach using semi-structured group interviews was used in this
qualitative investigation. The purpose of the study was to better understand how perceive menstruation, where these ideas come from, and how their perceptions about menstruation may inform their view of women. Two group-interviews were performed and comprised of men in two different student-interest groups. During the interview process, participants described their childhood and present-day experiences with menstruation, including how they learned about menstruation, the messages they received, and how they think about menstruation in the present day. In addition, participants were each asked to create and describe an image depicting the way that they think about menstruation. A Grounded Theory approach was used to analyze the data. The emergent themes from this study were characterized by participant's feelings that they were too young to learn about menstruation in early adolescence and the internalization of dominant cultural messages that menstruation is not something that men should know or talk about. Participants were found to still hold these beliefs as adults, and also revealed they perceive menstruation to be associated with the display of heightened emotions and physical pain. Thus, menstruation was perceived as an overall negative event. Their negative associations with and feelings of disgust toward the presence of blood led to the development of means of avoiding menstruation (e.g. not talking about it and avoiding sexual encounters with menstruating partners). Overall, the participants indicated that they internalized three main beliefs about menstruation: (a) menstruation is associated with affective changes in women, (b) menstruation is irrelevant to men's lives, and (c), menstruation is disgusting because of its association with blood. The implications of the internalization of…

▼ Use of the private car is often viewed as highly problematic. It is regularly associated with global physical, social and ecological harms such as climate change and epidemics of lifestyle diseases, including obesity.Attempts to address these problems generally include provision for day-to-day physical mobility based on alternatives to the private car. Labelled alternative transport, these modes include public transport, walking and cycling. Yet the private car continues as the preferred way to travel in many cities. A deeper understanding of this preference can reveal under explored sites of resistance to alternative transport modes.This study uses
qualitative methods to record very personal barriers to the uptake of alternative transport. Its focus is on the use of the car for the journey to work in suburban Sydney - Australia's largest city. Applying a novel approach to participant selection, the study explores the daily practices and perceptions of those who continue to drive, despite having access to viable alternative transport.The study finds that resistance to alternative transport is more complex than findings to date suggests. Mobility practices stem from the active integration of skills, images and materials that potentially have little to do with transport. Instead, attachments to the private car, and resistance to alternative mobility, are products of other practices, such as parenting and working. The study reveals the way the private car is deeply engrained in the way people make sense of, and navigate, not only their streets but their place in the world.The complexity of the relationship between mobility practices and ways of being in the modern world can be represented through the concept of ontological security. Car-based autonomous mobility plays a key role in experiences of autonomy, predictability and acceptance - all of which act to sustain a sense of coherency to modern life. Transition away from car use disturbs this sense of coherency and is essentially ontologically threatening.This way of thinking about resistance to alternative transport exposes a number of sticking points for its uptake - junctures at which transition away from private car use will only occur in the face of unprecedented disruption to existing ways of 'being' in modern life. The
research exposes a series of inconsistencies between the expectations of those planning for, and those anticipated to one day use, alternative transport.

▼ Research on how individuals cope with stress has spanned numerous academic and scientific disciplines, including the fields of counseling and psychology. Investigations have more recently focused on preventive coping, or the coping strategies used by individuals to manage existing stressors and prepare for future demands. The Preventive Resource Inventory (PRI) was developed to assess coping resources for mitigating or preventing stress, rather than withstanding it. The PRI was recently revised to reflect more current theoretical perspectives in stress and coping
research, including the influence of positive psychology. This revision process involved developing and testing new items and later conducting a factor analysis to create an updated measure. The present study used the updated version of the PRI to assess the utility of a feedback report for PRI users. This study also examined how individuals understand preventive coping in the context of their own personal coping efforts.
Qualitative methodologies used in this study drew on principles and procedures of phenomenology.
A total of 25 graduate students and 26 undergraduate students taking a course in the College Education participated in the study, completing short answer questionnaires intended to address the study’s
research questions. 11 undergraduate students also participated in follow-up interviews with me to provide more depth and clarify their responses. The short answer questionnaires and interview transcripts of 27 participants (27 short answer questionnaires and 11 transcripts) were analyzed before data saturation was achieved. Based on analyses of these data, I identified specific aspects of both the report and the overall feedback process that students found to helpful and unhelpful in augmenting their understanding of their results. I was also able to identify several recommendations for improving the PRI feedback report in the future. Regarding participants’ understanding of preventive coping, I used quantitative data from the short-answer questionnaires to identify and further inquire about specific preventive coping resources (i.e., Maintaining Perspective, Scanning, and Self-Acceptance) about which participants demonstrated discrepancies in their understanding and comprehension. Analyses also demonstrated ways in which participants contextualized their personal coping efforts, including the development of their coping efforts through dispositional and/or skill-based pathways.

▼ The purpose of this study was to investigate the perceptions that college age women have of social aggression and its consequences in their lives.
Qualitative research methods were used to analyze written narrative responses to a question posed to women enrolled in a human sexuality class at Virginia Tech. Although 83 narrative responses were selected, 32 narratives that met criteria were examined using modified analytic induction. A coding scheme was devised and the codes were applied to each narrative and revised many times. The findings of the study suggest that the consequences of social aggression continue for months and even years after incident has occurred. Women indicated that their relationships have changed due to their experiences and that these experiences have made them cautious of friendships with women. Furthermore, many women acknowledged that they perceive men to be more trustworthy and better friends than women because of the "mean" nature of women. Additionally, women had a difficult time acknowledging their own meanness and attempted to justify meanness that they did acknowledge. Further
research is needed to explain why women feel they cannot trust other women. Additionally, more
research is needed to explain why women perceive men to be more trustworthy and why they perceive that men are better friends when previous
research suggests that social aggression levels even out during late adolescence and emerging adulthood.

▼ Given the increasingly complex and fluid nature of organizations today, there is an urgent need to study the role that leadership can play in helping organizations to successfully navigate through difficult and turbulent times. This dissertation investigated the journey of six participants who served as leaders in organizations during periods of change and turmoil. An interpretive phenomenological approach was the primary method of data collection, analysis, and interpretation used to organize the data gathered primarily through interviews with the participants. Personal experience, as well as current leadership and change theories served as the background and frame of reference for this study. Extensive interviews were conducted with each participant. The transcripts from those interviews were carefully analyzed, resulting in a rich description of each individual lived experience. Finally, the individual lived experiences of the participants were analyzed in order to arrive at a composite review, or universal experience, of the participants. Key findings indicated that a leaders worldview is a significant determining factor in their responses to the interview questions. Some common leadership qualities that emerged from the data include: embracing change, collaboration, effective communication, thinking globally, developing others, managerial courage, and ongoing reflection. Additional results pointed to the importance of transparency, dialogue, accountability and inclusivity in an organization, especially during periods of change. Finally, the results suggest that a successful leader appreciates the value of networking, willpower, flexibility, and creative chaos in the organizations that they manage. This exploratory study warrants further investigation, especially regarding the influence of empowerment, managerial courage, reflection, systems-thinking, and creative chaos in organizations. Findings from this study may also provide leaders with suggestions on how to be more effective as they attempt to guide organizations in these unpredictable and rapidly changing times. Rooted in a systems-oriented theoretical framework and using an interpretive phenomenological approach, this
qualitative exploratory study offers an example for future researchers focusing on the role leaders play in helping organizations to succeed in turbulent times.

▼ The ITEST program was funded by the National Science Foundation, and run by California State University, Sacramento???s Department of Computer Science and College of Education in collaboration with Mathematics Engineering Science Achievement (MESA). The program introduced underserved college-bound high school participants to an innovative Computer Science curriculum in Computer Graphics and Game Engineering, supplemented with mutual mentoring and social purpose as elements. The goal of this study was to understand how successful the ITEST program was, in motivating underserved high school participants, and engaging them in Computer Science by way of game programming. It was of interest to understand how the innovatively structured curriculum influenced student motivation and interest levels. This study analyzes participant journal entries maintained on a daily basis through six weeks of the program to understand motivational pattern amongst participants. The study uses
Qualitative Content Analysis technique as the
research method using Thriving with Social Purpose (TSP) (Ford & Smith, 2007) framework as the underlying theoretical foundation.
Results of this study indicate that the program was successful in driving a predominantly thriving motivational pattern amongst participants. The setup resulted in a mutually reinforcing positive spiral effect that enabled students to stay motivated and achieve their goals despite challenges and shortcomings. Social orientation, driven by working in teams and supplemented mentorship was amply acknowledged. Results show that the program was slightly more motivating for male participants as compared to female counterparts. Varying levels of interest in math within cohort did not particularly reveal amplified or diminished motivation amongst participants, however the cohort with higher composition of students positively interested in Math showed a more thriving orientation compared to the other. Motivational patterns observed amongst ethnic groups were not consistent across cohorts, except for higher coping tendencies observed in Asian participants, which was likely driven by language barrier and resulting communication gap.

▼ Despite that
qualitative health researchers cite the embodied nature of performance as a way to move beyond the constraints of the written word and draw multiple perspectives into their
research practices, much
research-informed theatre is informed by an â aesthetic of objectivityâ (Denzin, 2003, p. 73). Researchers taking up this perspective assume a linear trajectory between
research findings and performed representation, overlooking the multiple embodied perspectives that are implicated in the development of
research-informed theatre. To challenge this assumption I explore how artist-researchers draw on their own embodiment and imagination as ways to understand the
research findings, how they conceptualize the intended audience, and how those understandings shape the creative process of the
research-informed play. Using the case study of Cracked: new light on dementia (I am the playwright and director) I focus my analysis on three concepts: embodiment (the interrelationship between body and social/cultural/historical spaces), imagination (extending beyond oneâ s own experience to relate to and envision that of another person) and foolishness (engaging bravely and vulnerably with a willingness to fail). Throughout their work artist-researchers playfully extend from their own embodiment towards the experiences of other people using a multiplicity of actions, such as word choice/language, movement, spacing and timing. Central to this playful extending is a disruption of their own embodiment and surrounding social/cultural/historical spaces that itself requires a willingness to fail. Audience members are assumed to participate in the performance and the play is created to support their playful extending with the potential that they might also become foolishly disrupted.
Artist-researchers draw on the artistic form of theatre to aesthetically explore ideas, concepts and experiences, inviting other people to explore with them. The aesthetic space created by the ways artist-researchers playfully extend and foolishly/inventively disrupt is called an aesthetic of relationality. An aesthetic of relationality provides multiple people with a unique space to aesthetically explore the interrelationship between their own bodily horizons and surrounding social/cultural/historical spaces as well as a planning and evaluative frame for
research-informed theatre.

▼ Abstract
Sales work is an occupation which constantly is available for people. Salespeople are always wanted, but only few of them can reach exquisite performance. For most people, selling is easy. However, it also brings the harshest challenge to human nature. Sales representatives could easily lose their resolution of achieving goals when they are encountered customersâ endless problems and sales resistance. They always face tremendous achievement pressure, which could destroy their strong will in no time. In most peopleâs impression, a professional sales manager has to be a person and a rich speaker. However, holding the same position, and having close observation toward numberless business chargers, I possess different opinion. A successful sales manager is usually prudent, self-disciplined, and achieves goals through effort of the whole team members. He learns humbly, and accumulates wisdom through his team group, as well as foster excellent ability, and great fortitude from failure experience. Thus, he becomes a top manager in his field.
This paper discusses the resulted problems and their processing strategies when a sales manager confronts his customer. The author takes his past work experience as a sales manager in a British lubricant oil company as examples. Using the narrative analysis and participant observation method, this paper illustrates living challenges and work experiences on the managements of business and sales. Moreover, the great wisdom and excellent experience from above mentioned cases are respectively verified by the strategic problems solution models of Mckinsey and Company.

▼ Organisations depend on strong and competent leaders
for their sustainability, profitability and competitiveness.
Therefore organisations have an extremely strong focus on
development, and especially on leader development. Mentoring has
been recognised as a developmental tool (Truter, 2008, p.61) and is
therefore employed by many organisations to foster such
development. The primary aim of this study is to determine whether
and to what effect, mentoring can be used to foster leader
development in a business context. The
research is of a
qualitative, phenomenological nature and enquires into the
perceptions, personal experiences and knowledge of people who have
been exposed to mentoring and leader development, in order to
understand how mentoring has played a role in the development of
their leadership. In-depth interviews were conducted with a sample
of six participants in order to collect the required data; and
South African and international literature was consulted in order
to interpret the interview data accurately in terms of the primary
aim of the study. The study revealed the following results amongst
others: There is a connection between
mentoring and leader development and mentoring can be used to
develop leaders. Leader development is not
possible in the absence of mentoring.
Mentoring can contribute to leader development by focussing on a
person’s development and teaching that person to become a good or a
better leader. Mentoring has the ability to
positively impact or benefit leader development.
Mentoring has the ability to develop a person’s
leadership capability and competence (i.e. his/her ability to be a
leader). Mentoring can be used as a tool to
develop effective leaders.

▼ The purpose of this research was to explore the
experiences of the uninsured
during the period leading up to
implementation of provisions of the Patient
Protection and
Affordable Care Act. This research was conducted in an urban,
upstate New York community, in a non-profit agency that offered
comprehensive health care to the uninsured. The patient experience
was
augmented by the perspectives and experiences of the staff
that care for them
and work within the larger health care
community to facilitate health care access.
The study was a
focused ethnography. Data collection included semi-structured
interviews with uninsured patients and agency staff members,
participant
observation, and relevant artifacts. Data analysis
included inductive data coding,
category development, and within
and between-case comparisons that led to
theme development. The
themes developed were: (a) the emotional impact of
being
uninsured; (b) the socio-economic consequences of being uninsured;
(c) the
influence of being uninsured on health-related decision
making; and, (d) the
challenges of caring for the uninsured. The
findings of this research are timely.
Though many of the central
tenets of the ACA have been implemented, there
remains great
personal and political resistance to fully embracing and adhering
to the law. Many will remain uninsured as a result. This research
contextualizes
the experiences of the uninsured and those who care
for them. It is an essential
and unique contribution to the health
care reform conversation.

▼ Feminist multicultural therapy is a therapeutic approach that combines principles and practices from multicultural counseling and feminist therapy. Multicultural counseling and feminist therapy were developed in response to increasing recognition that existing therapies repeated, during counseling, oppressive patterns that existed in general society and harmed clients who were members of oppression and the effect it has on a client's well-being. They both share a goal of helping clients be better equipped to recognize and address oppression; to make empowering choices; and, when possible, to be active in making changes in society to reduce or eliminate oppression. Increasingly, feminist and multicultural counseling perspectives have informed each other, particularly where gender and racial/ethnic concerns intersect. Consistent with values that embrace the client as an expert on her or his own experiences, multicultural and feminist counseling research has been conducted to learn the client's perspective on what factors are important to her or him in therapy. This research focused on measuring the impact on counseling of factors such as multicultural competence and feminist attitudes. However, to date, little research has addressed the client's perspective with regard to the definition, processes, and outcomes of feminist multicultural therapy.

UNHEARD VOICES: EXPLORING PARTICIPATORY ACTION RESEARCH AND PROFESSIONAL IDENTITY IN EMERGING OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY PRACTICE WITH MEN TRANSITIONING TO THE COMMUNITY POST-INCARCERATION.

▼ There is a call for occupational therapists to extend their practice from correctional institutions to community settings with people who have been incarcerated; an emerging area of occupational therapy (OT) practice. However, with no published studies from the perspective of therapists in emerging settings, understanding the nature of emerging OT practice with people who have been incarcerated becomes problematic. Limited information about community integration makes it difficult to fill practice gaps and adhere to principles of evidence-based practice (EBP). Simultaneously, men with a criminal record experience stigma and exclusion from participation in everyday life extending well-beyond the completion of their sentence. Often denied a voice by people who control the media, correctional policies or political discussion about crime in the community, overcoming stereotypes of deviant, violent or aggressive criminals is difficult. The results of a participatory action research (PAR) project completed by men with a criminal record and a critical, first-person account about emerging OT practice from the perspective of a registered occupational therapist are presented.
Through Photovoice, co-researchers collected and analyzed photographs during group sessions that were audio recorded, transcribed, analyzed and summarized by the primary author. Summaries contributed to critical dialogue with the co-researchers throughout the collection, analysis and, writing stages. ‘The cards you are dealt’ emerged as a metaphor depicting everyday life as a strategic game played with cards specific to a person’s social location. Co-researchers shared their individual and collective narratives through various knowledge dissemination methods. Documenting narratives from the perspective of men with a criminal record counteracts status quo understandings of community re-entry, creating space for marginalized populations to share stories that might otherwise be lost.
Autoethnography, a post-modern, interpretive approach to research explores the meaning of emerging OT practice with criminalized men. Data were collected through reflective journaling and clinical process notes that upon review, guided systematic reflections required to write and re-write an analytical narrative of key experiences. Role-emerging placements were found to influence the chosen emerging setting. Preliminary insights about the role of evidence-based practice and advocacy work in supporting emerging OT practice is presented. Where occupation-focused research and regulatory body support remains limited, autoethnography contributes to professional development and the identification of knowledge gaps.
Together, this thesis contributes to knowledge about: (1) emerging OT practice with men transitioning to the community post-incarceration; (2) daily life/community integration from the perspective of criminalized men in the community; (3) tensions in emerging OT practice; and (4) insights about the nature of anti-oppressive OT practice.
