The study followed the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology for mixed methods systematic review and a convergent integrated data analysis design. The Conceptual Framework of Access to Healthcare and its five dimensions of access (approachability, acceptability, availability, affordability, appropriateness) guided the categorization and organization of the review's findings. Fifty-one studies were included and findings illuminated facilitators and challenges of PC access and early integration. While findings supported the use of traditional PC approaches for early integration, embedded PC clinics, lay navigation, and telehealth were found to be promising alternatives, especially for historically minoritized and rural populations. The results of this review led to the development of the Conceptual Framework for Early PC Access and Integration for Individuals Living with Cancer.","PeriodicalId":45940,"journal":{"name":"Global Qualitative Nursing Research","volume":"12 ","pages":"23333936251375184"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12476508/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145193586","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}

It is critical to understand paternal postpartum depression as it has been linked to serious consequences, such as increased suicide risk among fathers. Further, paternal postpartum depression influences the entire family unit as it has been associated with maternal mental health issues and negative father-infant interactions. Through a qualitative descriptive design, we aimed to (1) identify the factors that fathers report as contributors to their postpartum depression symptoms, and (2) examine the reported postpartum depression symptoms among fathers and the associated impacts on their lives. Using thematic analysis, we analyzed 63 anonymous Reddit posts by fathers about their paternal postpartum depression experiences. Contributors included: (1) altered role adjustment, (2) resource-demand imbalance, (3) challenging maternal and infant circumstances, and (4) disparate yet concurrent realities. Symptoms included: (1) cognitive-emotional, (2) somatic, and (3) masked. Impacts included: (1) fractured social connections, (2) diminished career satisfaction and performance, and (3) positive outcomes on the other side.

While existential loneliness has been explored in general older populations, little is known about how it is perceived and addressed by healthcare support staff working with older migrants. 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}

In contrast, such research remains limited in low- and middle-income countries. This study aimed to explore healthcare professionals' perceptions of the critical qualities inherent in dignity-preserving care for persons with dementia living in old age homes in Nepal. Using a hermeneutical approach, we conducted qualitative in-depth interviews with eleven healthcare professionals. 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.

This autoethnographic study explores the mentoring experiences of Black and South Asian nurse faculty in U.S. higher education, from transition through the promotion and tenure process. 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. This study underscores the need for culturally responsive, equity-centered mentorship programs and transparent advancement pathways. Institutions must commit to inclusive leadership development and sustained support to ensure the success and retention of Black and South Asian faculty in nursing academia.","PeriodicalId":45940,"journal":{"name":"Global Qualitative Nursing Research","volume":"12 ","pages":"23333936251369439"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12391713/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144973690","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}

Inherited pathogenic variants, like BRCA1 and BRCA2, contribute to an increased lifetime breast cancer risk in this population. For women with a known pathogenic variant but without a previous cancer diagnosis, also known as \"previvors,\" the bilateral risk-reducing mastectomy (BRRM) most effectively reduces breast cancer risk. However, this surgery often causes physical change to the body. While existing research has examined the effect of BRRM and body image among previvors across the lifespan, the effect of prophylactic breast removal to decrease lifetime breast cancer risk in young previvors less than 40 years of age is less understood. A descriptive phenomenological approach, along with participant-submitted images, from a sample of 13 young previvors from the Midwestern United States, aged 29 to 39, explored the lived experience of BRRM and body image in the first 12 months following surgery. Narrative data served as the primary source, augmented by participant-submitted visual data. Essential themes were intuited to include BRRM to promote health, the importance of adaptation and acceptance to a changed body, and unexpected challenges following surgery; body image was found to be largely positive after healing occurred.","PeriodicalId":45940,"journal":{"name":"Global Qualitative Nursing Research","volume":"12 ","pages":"23333936251362638"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12332254/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144817859","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}
