Semi-structured interviews with college-level instructors were conducted, and results from thematic analysis revealed teachers engaged in informational and relational helicopter-teaching behaviors. Informational behaviors included excessive involvement and over-preparation on student assignments, simplifying course content for ease of understanding, and over-accommodation of student requests for leniency. Relational behaviors included excessive validation/encouragement and blurred relational boundaries. Instructors perceived these behaviors to help students earn higher grades, but concurrently created grade inflation. While helicopter teaching may help students achieve course learning objectives, participants noted that these behaviors may also prevent students from developing critical thinking skills. Finally, instructors reported that these behaviors demonstrated their caring and concern, but that students may also experience increased dependence on them. Instructors expressed difficulty in making sense of their role given the desire to be helpful, but not to hover.","PeriodicalId":406864,"journal":{"name":"Qualitative Research Reports in Communication","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115329241","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To date, scholars have overlooked this important, capstone transition, as well as the roles of uncertainty management and human interaction in athletes’ adjustment. This study considers the uncertainties and management strategies of fifteen women’s professional golfers on an entry-level tour (Eggland’s Best Golf Tour). Results indicate athletes have uncertainties about their future successes, financial stability, and newfound autonomy. Although athletes expressed concerns for impression management, they ultimately sought to reduce their uncertainties because of the deemed utility of missing information. They mostly relied on covert (e.g., observation of peers) and cognitive strategies during their transitions; although, family and friends were directly sought for generic advice and financial support. These findings add complexity to sport transition literature by placing uncertainty management at the center of career transitions and highlighting the indirect and intracommunicative means of managing uncertainty. Such results may guide the strategic socialization of student-athletes by collegiate and professional associations to prepare them for the transition by addressing future sources of uncertainty and means of addressing said uncertainty.","PeriodicalId":406864,"journal":{"name":"Qualitative Research Reports in Communication","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116248852","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

But questions exist about the reliability of the information on such sites. Qualitative content analysis is a useful research methodology for analyzing the reliability of medical content on health information websites. Using a six-step qualitative research method loosely based on John Creswell's guidelines inResearch Design: Qualitative, Quantitative, and Mixed Methods Approaches, a sample was generated, coded, described, and analyzed in qualitative terms. By developing reliability codes and scoring a sample of health information websites based on the codes, it was possible to rank ten different health information websites in order of reliability and derive some conclusions about website reliability criteria. Other features contributing to a health website’s quality and reliability are also discussed, such as the presence or absence of privacy policies, editorial policies, reliability seals, and and similar markers. The article takes a positive view of health information websites and sees them as a useful and necessary supplement to the face-to-face expertise provided by medical professionals and physicians in an increasingly digitized world. They also facilitate a more negotiated model of communication than traditional top-down, technocratic models of information sharing.","PeriodicalId":406864,"journal":{"name":"Qualitative Research Reports in Communication","volume":"06 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121911190","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study systematically informed registration staff about pre-violent behaviors and tested its impacts on staff approaches to aggression. In this study, staff were concerned that the implementation of the new patient registration questions as mandated by the Affordable Care Act 1557 would cause patients to become aggressive. Using an open-ended questionnaire, this study involved the training of 74 staff at a Central California hospital who perform patient registration, in managing potential patient aggression during the new registration process and tested the effectiveness of the training. Results suggest that trainings are successful in helping staff identify pre-violent behaviors, use newly learned de-escalation strategies, and approach patient aggression from an appropriate perspective. Communication skill trainings are useful for teaching staff to identify patient pre-violent behaviors, and improving staff attitudes and approaches toward patient aggression. Hospitals should educate staff about the causes of patient aggression, and communication strategies to de-escalate. Lastly, staff should be encouraged to make external attributions for patient aggression.","PeriodicalId":406864,"journal":{"name":"Qualitative Research Reports in Communication","volume":"63 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128305719","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As posited by the extended parallel process model, perceptions of threat and efficacy must be high in order for message recipients to adopt recommended actions. The purpose of this study was twofold: Identify what makes people feel threatened by the opioid crisis and identify what people perceive are efficacious solutions to the opioid crisis. In March of 2018, the Office of National Drug Control Policy launched a website soliciting Americans to share opioid addiction stories. These videos were transcribed by the researchers which served as data for this study. Six themes emerged representing perceived threats of the opioid crisis, including addiction, family struggles, overdose death, stigma, financial repercussions, and legal repercussions. Four themes emerged representing perceived efficacy, including social support, information seeking and sharing, programs and tools, and attention to children. The implications of this study are twofold. First, those who are designing campaigns to address the opioid crisis should include these recommendations in order to convince the public to act. Second, this study has theoretical implications for academics studying opioid messages.","PeriodicalId":406864,"journal":{"name":"Qualitative Research Reports in Communication","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127446654","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Given the prevalence of incarceration in the United States, it is important to understand what the communicative acts used in the letters from Sue to her daughter tell us about the importance of family support and relationships during incarceration. I explore how an incarcerated mother uses several repeated communicative acts to normalize her life of incarceration to her family using a grounded theory approach. Analyzing the communicative acts within the letters sent while in prison provides a natural, realistic, and noninvasive representation of how families maintain their relationships while incarcerated given their limited means of communication. These communicative acts related to normalizing incarceration align with the crafting normalcy component of the communication theory of resilience, which explains how people make sense of their new lives after they experience trauma or disruption, such as incarceration. While the theory typically focuses on resilience after a traumatic event, the findings illustrate the presence of resilience during a traumatic event as well.","PeriodicalId":406864,"journal":{"name":"Qualitative Research Reports in Communication","volume":"199 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133822390","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
