However, there is generally limited literature on COVID-19 RCCE approaches, particularly their strengths and limitations. The current study seeks to contribute to that literature by exploring approaches that were used in COVID-19 RCCE in Malawi, a sub-Saharan African (SSA) country, and drawing lessons from the response based on experiences of those who implemented it.Method: Using in-depth interviews with ten key informants and ten project reports from three organizations, data were analysed thematically in MAXQDA 2022.Results: Significant themes that emerged revealed COVID-19 RCCE employed use of interpersonal approaches like training, peer education, mHealth and social media; use of community mobilization strategies like engagement meetings and dialogues, loud hearing through mobile vans and whistle stops; behaviour change printed materials; and the mass media. Effectiveness hinged on each method's accessibility, intrinsic qualities, and reach. Implementers also emphasized the value of combining multiple approaches and the challenges posed by COVID-19 restrictions.Conclusion: The study underscores the need to select context-appropriate, accessible RCCE approaches to convey critical information, and contributes to the evidence base for future pandemic responses, especially in resource-limited settings.","PeriodicalId":51468,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Qualitative Studies on Health and Well-Being","volume":"20 1","pages":"2516356"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12164384/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144276567","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}

Thematic analysis was conducted to identify key themes and patterns in participants' experiences.Results: Participants reported enhanced emotional and sensory engagement with natural environments, leading to decreased PCS symptoms. The structured nature integrative activities promoted present-moment awareness, relaxation, and physical activity, which were valued by the participants. The facilitators' ability to adapt activities to individual needs was crucial to the perceived benefit of the programme. Group settings provided social support, reducing feelings of isolation.Conclusions: NIR supports individuals with PCS by enhancing emotional well-being, reducing symptoms, and providing coping strategies. Alongside social support, the flexibility of the activities, allowing individuals to engage according to their symptoms and capabilities, is critical for rehabilitative outcomes.

It specifically explores how individuals psychologically experience the loss of roles due to automation, and how these experiences influence their emotional, cognitive, and behavioural well-being.Method: A qualitative phenomenological approach was used to capture the lived experiences of 24 IT professionals who faced AI-induced job loss or reassignment. Data were collected via in-depth semi-structured interviews and analysed through thematic analysis. To ensure rigour and theoretical saturation, a three-round Delphi process involving 20 domain experts-spanning clinical psychology, organizational behaviour, and AI policy-was used to validate and refine the emergent themes.Results: Six core psychological themes were identified: emotional shock, erosion of professional identity, chronic anxiety and anticipatory rumination, social withdrawal, adaptive and maladaptive coping strategies, and perceived organizational betrayal. These themes reflect a multilayered resource loss, including identity, control, employability, and social belonging.Conclusion: AI-driven role redundancy in the Indian IT sector is more than a labour market shift a deep psychological disruption.

In Phase 2, methodological and ethical concepts, issues and considerations were summarized, synthesized and consolidated into a framework. In Phase 3, the methodological framework was refined by applying it to a cross-cultural qualitative study.Results: The resulting methodological framework proposes two stages (preparation and action) and eleven key steps for designing, conducting and reporting cross-cultural qualitative research.

Our purpose was to develop a phenomenological description of parental intuition from parents' lived experience.Methods: We interviewed 12 parents remotely using a semi-structured schedule. Interviews were analysed using descriptive phenomenology.Results: We developed a phenomenological description of parental intuition with essential elements including: parental intuition as pre-reflective and pre-linguistic, as corporeal, affective, instinctive, hysteria, and phronesis. Parental intuition was expressed as prior to consciousness and felt within the body. It manifests as heightened arousal and emotion. Parental intuition was defined as ever-present, yet questionable, potentially gendered, requiring validation. Finally, parental intuition was defined as practical wisdom built up over years of exposure to one's child, enabling a reciprocal, unspoken and intimate bond.Conclusions: Our work has demonstrated the significance of parental intuition in early detection of health deterioration. We discuss philosophical conceptualizations of knowledge and evidence relating to healthcare professionals' resistance to accept parental intuition as a valid source of knowledge in healthcare. We argue that parental intuition demands integration into practice guidance on paediatric shared decision-making.","PeriodicalId":51468,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Qualitative Studies on Health and Well-Being","volume":"20 1","pages":"2491925"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12004719/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144050403","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}

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}
