Examining the experiences of pediatric mental health care providers during the early stage of the Covid-19 pandemic
This study gave voice to mental health providers as they provided continuity of care throughout the uncertain early months of the pandemic. The results provide insight into the impact times of crisis have on mental health providers, as well as provide practical considerations for the future in terms of supervision and feedback mechanisms to validate experiences
Social Service Worker Experiences with Direct and Indirect Violence When Engaged with Service Users
Social service workers’ experiences of violence from service users (client-engaged violence) in social service workplaces are serious and pervasive issues that demand responsive and effective organisational interventions. However, organisational factors and characteristics that have an effect on worker experiences of client-engaged violence are poorly defined. This study utilised a quantitative design to identify and measure aspects of the organi…
Integrating Community Participation With Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis
Members of the autistic community have long advocated for more input into and participation with autism-related research. Currently, the power to determine the direction of autism-related research and knowledge production related to autism lies with non-autistic researchers, while the wishes and perspectives of the autistic community are largely ignored. There is a growing trend toward ethical autism-related research, however, in which the perspe…
Dynamics of a culture of workplace safety in human service organizations
Workplace cultures are an important component in creating safe work environments. In-depth qualitative interviews ( n = 85) were conducted with human service workers of a large publicly administered human service organization in Canada to learn more about the organizational and/or workplace conditions that contribute to a safety culture. Findings reveal that a safety culture within this human service workplace is defined by values or attitudes as…
Reflection/Commentary on a Past Article
Live It to Understand It
Mothers of children with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) variably experience challenges in their caregiving role. This ethnographic study examined the caregiving experiences of mothers of a young person with ASD (aged ≤25 years). Semistructured interviews were conducted with 85 mothers across three Canadian regions. A follow-up subsample of 10 mothers took part in participant observation sessions in the home and/or other environments within the…
The Experiences and Perceptions of Street-Involved Youth Regarding Emergency Department Services
Street-involved (SI) youth comprise a substantial component of the urban homeless population. Despite being significant users of hospital emergency department (ED) services for acute and ongoing health needs, little is known about their experiences of ED care and the factors affecting their ED use. This study used a grounded theory and community-based approach to examine these issues. Focus groups and individual interviews were facilitated with 4…
The Lived Experiences of Children and Adolescents With End-Stage Renal Disease
Relatively little is known about how children perceive and manage end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in daily life. To address this gap in the literature, the experiences and perceptions of children with ESRD were examined in this study. Study design comprised ethnographic interviews with 25 children and adolescents ages 7 to 18 years. Semistructured interviews were audiotaped, transcribed verbatim, and subjected to content analysis. Participants rec…
Contrasting Internet and Face-to-Face Focus Groups for Children with Chronic Health Conditions
In this study the authors examined Internet-mediated qualitative data collection methods among a sample of children with chronic health conditions. Specifically, focus groups via Internet technology were contrasted to traditional face-to-face focus groups. Internet focus groups consisted of asynchronous text-based chat rooms lasting a total of one week in duration. Participants comprised 23 children with cerebral palsy, spina bifida, or cystic fi…
When Family-Centered Care Is Challenged by Infectious Disease
In this ethnographic study, the authors examined the experiences and perspectives of children hospitalized because of SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome), their parents, and pediatric health care providers. The sample included 5 children, 10 parents, and 8 health care providers who were directly affected by SARS during the time of the outbreaks and extreme infection control procedures. The data analyses illuminated a range of perceived exper…
Processes of Metastudy
Metastudy introduces a systematically aggregated interpretive portrayal of a body of literature, based on saturation and the synthesis of findings. In this metastudy, the authors examined qualitative studies addressing psychosocial adaptation to childhood chronic health conditions, published over a 30-year period (1970-2000). They describe metastudy processes, including study identification, strategies for study search and retrieval, adjudication…
Meanings of Maternal Caregiving
The study described in this article examined the lived experience of mothers who provide care for their children with End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD). A total of 32 mothers participated in interviews, and 8 were observed in their natural setting for a prolonged period. Findings illuminated unique meanings about maternal caregiving that were individually constructed by each caregiving mother. These meanings appeared to be related to previous matern…
