Our study investigates mental health patients' experiences of such impacts with a view to identifying potential domains that conventional HRQoL instruments might overlook.Methods: Semi-structured, in-depth interviews were conducted with 16 participants receiving specialist mental health services in Norway. Interviews were analysed using reflexive thematic analysis.Results: Five main themes were identified describing mental disorders' impact on patients' HRQoL: \"Reduced functioning impacts\", \"Mental process impacts\", \"Social impacts\", \"Fragility\", and \"Sleep difficulty\". While some overlap with conventional HRQoL instruments exists, distinct dimensions were identified, notably, \"Fragility,\" encompassing unpredictability and inflexibility in daily life.Conclusions: The findings suggest that comprehensive assessment should consider broader mental health impacts beyond anxiety and depression, including cognitive difficulties, obstructive self-perception, and feelings of meaninglessness. Additionally, the impact of unpredictability on daily functioning and the role of sleep difficulties should be incorporated. These insights can inform the development of more patient-centred HRQoL measures for mental health populations, potentially leading to more accurate evaluation of mental health interventions.","PeriodicalId":51468,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Qualitative Studies on Health and Well-Being","volume":"20 1","pages":"2465209"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11843662/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143459920","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}

This paper examines what makes for positive or negative supported eating interactions (SEI) between care staff and people with neurological conditions aged 18-65.Methods: The paper draws upon semi-structured interviews conducted with residents and healthcare staff exploring the role of food in the care of adults with neurological conditions in long-term care settings.Results: Six core themes (1. Time and timing, 2. Individualized support and care(ing), 3. Choice and autonomy; 4. Core clinical knowledge and skills; 5. De-humanizing Practices; and 6.

Most core principles for delivering positive SEI's fall within the knowledge and skills of individual healthcare staff. However, the findings on time and environment require organizational support to enable staff to deliver the best SEI.","PeriodicalId":51468,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Qualitative Studies on Health and Well-Being","volume":"20 1","pages":"2508948"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12107641/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144152808","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}

Using Løgstrup's ethical philosophy, the work explores how trust, moral responsibility, and relational tensions shape caregiving.Materials and methods: A theoretical analysis was conducted based on five empirical qualitative studies of nurses' lived experiences in forensic inpatient care. These studies, rooted in phenomenology and hermeneutics, were re-analysed using reflective lifeworld research (RLR), a phenomenological approach grounded in the lifeworld theory of Husserl and Merleau-Ponty, that emphasizes openness and reflection to capture the meaning of lived experiences. The analysis was interpreted through Løgstrup's ethical framework.Findings: Five key themes emerged: Having Trust or Feeling Distrust, Being Compassionate or Being Indifferent, Having Courage or Being Afraid, Being Genuine or Pretending, and Being a Ballerina or Being a Bulldozer. These themes highlight the \"space in-between\", where nurses navigate ethical tensions, institutional constraints, and patient interactions.Conclusions: Forensic psychiatric nursing requires balancing institutional control and compassionate care. Ethical encounters emerge through both self-reflection and relational engagement. Structured reflection and dialogue help nurses navigate ethical challenges, foster professional growth, and enhance patient-centred care.","PeriodicalId":51468,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Qualitative Studies on Health and Well-Being","volume":"20 1","pages":"2514520"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144235938","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}

Patients and HCPs were recruited from two municipalities in Southeast and mid-Norway. The study period lasted from December 2020 to October 2022. We performed reflexive, thematic analyses of both data sets.Results: The views of all eight patients and all 21 hCPs were interpreted according to five themes: cancer impacts all aspects of life, navigating the healthcare system, living with dying, the paramount importance of relationships, and dying at home.Conclusion: Entering the end of life, patients feel exhausted, lonely, and abandoned. They lack confidence in HCPs and the healthcare system. HCPs characterized plans and predictability as being important during end-of-life care, whereas patients were often hesitant to talk about and plan for the last phase of life.","PeriodicalId":51468,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Qualitative Studies on Health and Well-Being","volume":"20 1","pages":"2517358"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12160323/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144276569","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}

The interviews were analysed using thematic analysis (TA). Normalization Process Theory (NPT) was used as theoretical framework.Results: Uniform sickness absence procedures are meaningful and provide clear expectations for line managers and employees about roles and responsibilities during sick leave. Line managers expressed a desire for flexibility in adjusting the procedures to the individual needs of the employees. They also reported a need for proactive preventive actions that prevent sickness absence from occurring in the first place. The line managers reported lacking competencies to ensure appropriate sick leave management and that their own well-being was often overlooked.Conclusion: Future interventions should focus on improving the work environment instead of focusing solely on absenteeism. It is essential to consider the well-being of the line managers and provide adequate training, as this can affect their capability to ensure the well-being of, and reduce sickness absence, among their employees.","PeriodicalId":51468,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Qualitative Studies on Health and Well-Being","volume":"20 1","pages":"2510560"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12128142/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144188464","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}

Accordingly, this study sought to fill this gap by exploring the consequences of rape victimization for men in the City of Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality, Gauteng Province, South Africa.Method: A qualitative research approach underpinned by interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) was used to collect data from a purposive sample of eleven participants. Data was collected using semi-structured face-to-face individual interviews and analysed using the IPA framework. Trustworthiness and validity of study findings was ensured by following Lincoln and Guba criteria, and the study followed ethical principles outlined in the Declaration of Helsinki on conducting research with human participants.Results: Six superordinate themes emerged from the data as consequences of rape victimization for men, namely physical, psychological, emotional, social, spiritual and financial consequences.Conclusion: The study provides a comprehensive description of the effects of rape on the overall well-being of men.
