Semi-structured online 2:1 interviews were conducted between October 2023 and January 2024. The co-designed interview guide asked questions on best practices at individual and contextual levels when undertaking EDR. Interviews were analysed through reflexive thematic analysis.Results: Three themes were generated: (1) the need for a psychologically informed research culture; (2) actions and principles in the immediate research environment; and (3) researcher boundaries with the research, others, and oneself. Underlying mechanisms across themes included tailored, iterative and flexible, and collaborative.Conclusions: A shift is needed towards a more psychologically informed research culture to support mental health in EDR.

To address this gap, the present study aims to describe patients' experience of trauma-adapted yoga (TAY) as a health-promoting activity in forensic psychiatric care.Methods: Twelve individual semi-structured interviews with patients in forensic psychiatric care were conducted, and data were analysed using inductive content analysis.Findings: The patients' experience of TAY as a health-promoting activity was captured in an overarching theme, \"To feel that one is connected to mind, body, and soul in a way that can promote a sense of well-being in an uncertain existence\". This overarching theme contained four themes: Strengthening the body, finding a calm place within oneself, something to do solely for oneself but together with others, and prerequisites for doing yoga.Conclusion: The findings emphasize that TAY has the potential to be a valuable health-promoting activity for patients in forensic psychiatric care by facilitating their resources to manage stressors in everyday life. Therefore, it should be offered as a complement to other treatments to promote patients' health and well-being in forensic psychiatric care.","PeriodicalId":51468,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Qualitative Studies on Health and Well-Being","volume":"20 1","pages":"2509803"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12120864/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144162576","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}

Semi-structured telephonic interviews were conducted using a topic guide informed by prior research. Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analysed thematically.Results: Four major themes were identified. Findings highlighted stark contrasts in exercise engagement between men treated in private versus public healthcare settings. Exercise was essential to private patients, whereas most public patients showed limited interest. Factors influencing engagement included knowledge gaps, treatment complications, fear of worsening symptoms, and age-related comorbidities. Socio-environmental barriers-such as neighbourhood safety and poor work-life balance-reduced exercise opportunities. Facility-level issues included inconsistent messaging from providers, lack of exercise oncology pathways, and absent referral systems.Conclusion: Our study identified key multilevel influences surrounding exercise promotion and integration in routine care for prostate cancer survivors receiving treatment in private and public healthcare settings. While highlighting the opportunities/challenges surrounding integrating exercise programs in routine management, our findings offer program planners valuable insights for planning and developing interventions in resource-constrained settings.","PeriodicalId":51468,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Qualitative Studies on Health and Well-Being","volume":"20 1","pages":"2517803"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12164385/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144276568","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}

Instead, shame about their appearance and (fear of) stigmatization mainly leads to social avoidance.

This article proposes that cultural differences in collectivistic versus individualistic perceptions of getting an ADHD diagnosis and being treated for depression might explain these ethnic disparities, which have been explored in this study.Methods: Nine focus group discussions with Turkish individuals and 18 interviews with primary mental health practitioners were conducted.Results: Findings show that Turkish participants do not view ADHD symptoms as problematic. Parents generally do not want children to be labelled as such and get professional help because they fear this will cause interpersonal problems. Depression is seen as problematic, as it disturbs social relationships and communities. However, Turkish participants prefer mediation to cognitive behavioural therapy, since the latter does not solve interpersonal problems.Conclusions: Our findings highlight a dissonance between individualistic/biomedical and collectivistic/socioecological views on health and wellbeing, in which the focus is on the individual for the Dutch versus the social group for the Turkish. To match Turkish clients' needs, mental health professionals should tread carefully in ADHD labelling.

The theory that was generated explained the antecedents, nature, outcomes, and inhibiting conditions for joyful experiences in Dalcroze sessions. Dalcroze activities, which require active engagement and social interaction, led to accomplishments that, in turn, promoted high energy and intense joy. These experiences facilitated the opening of minds, other-embracing behaviour, improved musicianship, and enhanced individual and communal well-being. The theory provides a foundation for promoting joyful experiences in Dalcroze Eurhythmics sessions. Understanding factors that promote or inhibit joy empowers facilitators to create environments conducive to generating such elation. Educators can explore the theory's applicability to other music education and community music contexts. Dalcroze facilitators are encouraged to use creative, engaging activities, thereby fostering social interaction and experiences of success without competition or judgement. Creating a safe environment aligned with participants' abilities is crucial for fostering joy in Dalcroze sessions.","PeriodicalId":51468,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Qualitative Studies on Health and Well-Being","volume":"20 1","pages":"2468050"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11852224/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143484384","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}
