Ten participants were interviewed, including six males and four females. The interviews were completed, transcribed, and analysed using inductive and deductive content analysis. Multiple steps were taken to enhance data trustworthiness.Results: Six main themes and eight related subthemes emerged. These included: getting help is complex, the effects of stroke are multifaceted, losing rehabilitation services during the COVID-19 pandemic, overcoming hardships but not alone, \"If you don't use it, you lost it\": rehabilitative success is based on one's actions, and \"look at me now\": the importance of taking pride in one's successes.Conclusions: One unique finding was that the participants used this study as an opportunity to teach and advocate for future stroke survivors which is not often seen in qualitative stroke rehabilitation research. Future stroke research should place emphasis on both the positive and negative experiences of this population.","PeriodicalId":51468,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Qualitative Studies on Health and Well-Being","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10962289/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140177639","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Communication and involvement of relatives may enhance users' ability to overcome obstacles to accessing BA. Implementation and adherence may be strengthened by supervision of BA staff and education of emergency care staff. Resources are needed to improve access.

These included behavioural beliefs (concerning physical/psychological well-being and social opportunities), normative beliefs (concerning family, community, international and local media influencers' expectations), and control beliefs (concerning personal, social, natural, and built environment enablers as well as constraints).Conclusions: Due to the elicited beliefs, young women may be able to adopt more active lifestyles and change their inactive behaviour.

Participants were from varied ethnic and socio-cultural backgrounds (Turkish, Lebanese, Filipino, Vietnamese, Chinese and Greek/German).

Similarly in research, there are perceived challenges in qualitative studies with this population due to several factors, including (self-)stigma, assessment of decision-making capacity, reduced communication skills and the (perceived) risk of adverse events, resulting in its scarcity.Methods: In this contribution, the authors share their practical experiences of conducting qualitative research among this group of people, specifically addressing sensitive topics such as ongoing intensive care within a mental health facility and end-of-life care. Both advantageous and challenging factors that were encountered during different research phases -the preliminary phase, conducting the interviews and the concluding phase are systematically outlined.Results: The findings highlight conscientious conducted in accordance with established standards, albeit with a deliberate embrace of non-conventional approaches while advocating an attitude of critical, ethical reflection. Adequate preparation, fostering creative approaches and adaptable communication to establish rapport and authentic interaction, thorough follow-up and support for all involved are equally crucial to sustain effective qualitative research.Conclusion: Engaging people experiencing SPMI in research is as a cornerstone for empowerment-a feasible aspiration.

One-on-one semi-structured interviews focused on gaining in-depth understanding of participants' experiences with HRQoL.

First, the theme biopsychosocial dimensions of the experience comprised the ways BPBI affects physical and emotional health and how BPBI is intertwined with affected individuals' identities, activities/participation, and social environments. Second, the theme lifelong and variable experience encompassed how BPBI is a chronic condition that changes over time and varies among affected individuals. The cross-case analysis derived a conceptual model of BPBI HRQoL to describe the BPBI experience through the lifespan. In this model, multiple dimensions of BPBI HRQoL expand through the lifespan while BPBI-specific health resources' availability contract.Conclusions: By providing insight into the many ways that BPBI affects and is affected by an individual's functioning and personal, social, and healthcare environmental factors, these findings underscore lifelong individualized care for BPBI-affected persons is needed.","PeriodicalId":51468,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Qualitative Studies on Health and Well-Being","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142376223","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the meanings of happiness can vary cross-culturally. Therefore, prior to exploring older migrants' happiness, their meaning-making of \"happiness\" should be explored. This way, cultural or individual variations can be considered when analysing older migrants' happiness. Not only migration background but also age could influence the meaning of well-being. For example, the meaning of well-being can change as people grow older. Therefore, both migration background and age are considered in exploring older migrants' meaning-making of happiness.Methods: To do so, in-depth interviews with older migrants (n = 22) from various ethnicities were conducted in which their meaning-making of happiness was questioned via a semi-structured interview guide.Results: After analysing the results via thematic analysis, three overarching themes are discussed: (1) happiness associations, (2) happiness-pursuing strategies, and (3) happiness obstructions. The analysis then further focuses on the role of migration background and ageing on the meaning-making of happiness.Conclusions: Participants' meaning-making of happiness seems strongly imbued with age-related references. On the contrary, the impact of migration background is rather limited. To explain this difference, the value of incorporating participants' life course experiences emerged.","PeriodicalId":51468,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Qualitative Studies on Health and Well-Being","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10773646/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139111345","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ten in-depth interviews with older patients and their relatives were conducted in Austria up to 2-5 days after hospital discharge.Results: The essential meaning of the phenomenon of well-being in the transition from hospital to home is marked by security and confidence to face the challenges following the discharge. Four constituents emerged: being calm and in alignment with the homecoming, being in familiar surroundings at home-a sense of belonging, striving towards independence-continuity of life and having faith in the future.Conclusion: Our findings point to the importance of recognizing the vulnerability associated with the transition from hospital to home, as it impacts the existential aspects of space and time.
