Although global syphilis rates have declined, the prevalence of undiagnosed and untreated infections remains high in low- and middle-income countries. In Uganda, national clinical guidelines recommend syphilis screening and treatment at the first antenatal care (ANC) visit, yet coverage remains suboptimal, contributing to ongoing perinatal transmission. As part of a multiple-method research project, this qualitative study explored provider perspectives on barriers to antenatal syphilis screening and treatment. We conducted in-depth interviews with 20 ANC providers at six public health facilities in two districts serving diverse communities. Using a descriptive qualitative approach and thematic analysis, we identified four interrelated barriers to effective service delivery: (1) stockouts of test kits and benzathine penicillin that disrupt care; (2) limited access to formal training and continuing education, reducing provider confidence in diagnosis and treatment; (3) misalignment between clinical guidelines and routine practice, leading to missed screening opportunities; and (4) low male partner engagement, increasing risk of reinfection. Addressing these barriers through health systems strengthening-including improved supply chain monitoring, universal provider training, supportive supervision, and community-informed strategies for partner engagement-is critical to reducing perinatal syphilis transmission and advancing Uganda's progress toward congenital syphilis elimination.","PeriodicalId":45940,"journal":{"name":"Global Qualitative Nursing Research","volume":"12 ","pages":"23333936251375457"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12491813/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145233768","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Utilizing arts-based inquiry, nurses (n = 4) and other healthcare specialists (n = 4) were involved in an arts-based workshop fostering a deep exploration of their experiences, and revealing themes such as uncertainty, the complexities of navigating professional identity within widespread \"hero narratives\", human connection and the powerful sense of catharsis and community found in sharing their experiences. Inspired by these insights, an artist created the audio artwork \"Boats on an ocean\". Six other audio artworks were subsequently created in the same way. A survey (n = 18) and in two hybrid workshops (n = 6) were then undertaken to understand how audiences experienced the exhibited artwork. Audiences consistently described the exhibition as \"profoundly moving\".

Five interviews were carried out using reflective lifeworld research approach. A phenomenological analysis showed that the essence of older adults' sense of dignity in palliative care is vulnerable and, therefore, at stake when using wearable devices for remote monitoring. This essence is reflected in the following constituents: a simultaneous sense of regained and diminished quality of life; mixed feelings ranging from strengthened self-identity and independence to vulnerability and dependence; shifting care responsibilities within the context of life's finitude; and uncertainty about being valued, seen, and empowered while navigating relational expectations. The phenomenon was illuminated through the lens of various forms of dignity, offering insight into how it is experienced and challenged. These findings underscore the importance of recognising and addressing threats to dignity as digital health technologies continue to evolve in palliative care settings.

This study explores healthcare support staff's perceptions of existential loneliness among older migrants and the conditions necessary to address their needs. Using focus group methodology, analysis of data generated the overarching theme of \"Navigating the unseen,\" capturing the complexity of recognizing and responding to existential loneliness. Three subthemes illustrate how HSSs perceive and respond to experiences of EL among older migrants. The first two-(a) \"Feelings of exclusion contribute to the experience of EL\" and (b) \"The ongoing quest for belonging\"-highlight how participants perceived older migrants' experiences of EL. The third subtheme, \"Aspects influencing HSSs' engagement with older migrants experiencing EL,\" captures factors that shape HSSs' capacity to support this population. This study highlights the complex challenges staff face in addressing existential loneliness in this population. To meet these needs, staff require time, training, and managerial support. Building trustful relationships, fostering cultural and religious inclusivity, and integrating psychosocial care are essential to support older migrants in finding meaning and belonging in later life.","PeriodicalId":45940,"journal":{"name":"Global Qualitative Nursing Research","volume":"12 ","pages":"23333936251375459"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12441275/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145087694","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our analysis revealed that participants' understanding of dignity-preserving care was rooted in their ontological and cultural belief of 'Acknowledging the equal worth of each human being'. Grounded in this foundational belief, critical elements of dignity-preserving care practices focused on 'sheltering the self-esteem and promoting a meaningful everyday life of persons with dementia'. These practices involved 'being respectful and protecting the self-identity of each person'; 'recognising the need for being a person who people listen to'; 'showing regard for each person's efforts and contributions in life'; 'safeguarding the person's sense of belonging', and; 'facilitating personally valued activities', and were considered as critical qualities of dignity-preserving care.

Inductive thematic analysis of reflective journal narratives, interpreted through the lens of Social Cognitive Career Theory, led to the development of themes spanning a nine-stage mentorship cycle. Findings highlight the lack of structured mentorship and unclear tenure expectations as primary challenges. Additional themes included mistrust in assigned mentors, emotional and psychological burdens, and the impact of racial identity on career progression. Participants frequently turned to peer networks and professional organizations to fill mentorship gaps and, over time, assumed mentorship roles themselves.
