Participant observation of day-of-surgery cancellations and semi-structured follow-up interviews with patients were conducted. Transcribed data were analysed using a Ricoeur-inspired analysis.Results: Five themes emerged from the analysis and interpretation, including \"an unexpected and shocking message-triggering reactions ranging from crying to unclear thinking\", \"shattered mental strength-an emotional rollercoaster marked by exhaustion and concerns\", \"a fragile situation-the need for early, informative and caring management of surgery cancellation\", \"prolonged waiting-feeling stuck and mentally distressed, caught in limbo with one's disease\" and \"known and unknown consequences-a butterfly effect\".Conclusions: Surgery cancellation could be explained as a \"butterfly effect\" causing known and unknown consequences triggered by the initial shock. Various emotional reactions followed the event and patients' mental strength was shattered. Provision of empathic care and information during cancellation notification was essential. The prolonged waiting period subjected patients to a sense of being stuck in limbo, unable to move forward with their lives. Multiple new practical preparations had to be made, and trust in the healthcare sector might be compromised.","PeriodicalId":51468,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Qualitative Studies on Health and Well-Being","volume":"20 1","pages":"2502193"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12057768/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144057609","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}

We conducted a thematic narrative analysis, and based on the results chose a salutogenic perspective to shed light on the health-promoting perspective.Results: The primary theme identified was \"My home is where my health is.\" It reflects a compellation of the four subthemes emerging from the data: (1) my home promotes independence and autonomy, (2) my home promotes identity and self, (3) my home promotes being active, and (4) the support I receive is pivotal to promoting health and life at home. These themes are pivotal to health promotion and well-being in old age.Conclusions: Living at home contributes to meaningfulness, manageability, comprehensibility, and a sense of coherence. This promotes health and well-being for older people living at home if they receive both formal and informal support.","PeriodicalId":51468,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Qualitative Studies on Health and Well-Being","volume":"20 1","pages":"2518668"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12168385/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144303520","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 study aimed to understand the situation for hospitalized Hong Kong Chinese children with complex communication needs.Methods: Six group interviews were conducted with 23 participants, including nurses, doctors, adolescents with acquired brain injury, parents of children with acquired brain injury or cerebral palsy, and community-based therapists.Results: Parents and children reported unmet physical and emotional needs due to lack of communication. Healthcare providers felt that direct communication with children was not essential, expecting that parents serve as proxy in conveying needs. The passive interaction mode of Chinese parents, and their increased vigilance in protecting their children, further reduced opportunities for direct child-healthcare provider interaction. Limited patient communication protocols were reported, while tight hospital space discouraged bedside communication activities and tools. Community therapists who knew these children were not involved in pre-admission handover.Conclusion: To address the communication barriers, changes in the healthcare, education, and community systems are proposed. Empowerment of the children and parents to promote direct patient-healthcare provider communication, dissemination of simple protocols and bedside communication tools, time allowance for staff to interact with the children, pre-/in-service staff training, and collaboration with community healthcare providers are recommended.","PeriodicalId":51468,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Qualitative Studies on Health and Well-Being","volume":"20 1","pages":"2446025"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142886422","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, important subjective factors, such as the relationship between identity on social inclusion among young adults with mental illness and complex needs, are understudied. The study objective is to explore how young adults with mental illness and complex needs experience their identity in relation to social inclusion.Materials and methods: The study adopted a qualitative, explorative, and participatory design. Seven young adults (three males/four females, aged 22-29) were recruited though Flexible Assertive Community Treatment (FACT) Teams, and semi-structured interviews were conducted. Reflexive thematic analysis was employed in the analysis.Results: The analysis resulted in two main themes. Theme one, \"Who they are\", included three subthemes: \"A lifelong sense of being someone on the outside\", \"Feeling different from others\", and \"Someone who is worthless and doesn't matter\". Theme two, \"Who they want to be\", included two subthemes \"Wanting to be someone else\", and \"The need to redefine oneself\".Conclusions: This study underlines the importance of working systematically on subjective aspects such as identity, in addition to objective measures, to address social exclusion in a vulnerable and marginalized group. Future directions for research and the development of a more tangible and holistic approach to promote social inclusion are suggested.","PeriodicalId":51468,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Qualitative Studies on Health and Well-Being","volume":"20 1","pages":"2433320"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11632936/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142796433","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 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.
