INTRODUCTION: This study sought to increase understanding of women's thoughts and feelings about decision making and the experience of subsequent pregnancy following stillbirth (intrauterine death after 24 weeks' gestation). METHODS: Eleven women were interviewed, 8 of whom were pregnant at the time of the interview. Modified grounded theory was used to guide the research methodology and to analyze the data. RESULTS: A model was developed to illustrate women's experiences of decision making in relation to subsequent pregnancy and of subsequent pregnancy itself. DISCUSSION: The results of the current study have significant implications for women who have experienced stillbirth and the health professionals who work with them. Based on the model, women may find it helpful to discuss their beliefs in relation to healing and health professionals to provide support with this in mind. Women and their partners may also benefit from explanations and support about the potentially conflicting emotions they may experience during this time.

Objective: To examine first-time mothers' and fathers' themes in their relationship with their infant, how these themes change during the first four months postpartum, and similarities and differences in mothers' and fathers' themes. Participants: Eighteen first-time mother-father couples were separately interviewed at one; six and 16 weeks postpartum. Data Analysis: Audio-taped, transcribed interviews were analysed using a Grounded Theory approach. Results: Our findings reveal a common set of themes for mothers and fathers in relation to the infant : 1: Discovery, 2: Physical Proximity, 3: Emotional Closeness, 4: Initiation of Complementary Interactions and 5: Commitment to Love and Care. However, there was a striking lack of concordance between mothers and fathers for these themes at each point in time. Conclusions: Mothers' and fathers' experience of the early relationship with their infant is unique. Focussing on maternal as well as paternal ways of experiencing the early relationship with their infant sets the way to understanding early developing relationships in the family context.

Aquest treball de recerca investiga com es gestiona la creativitat a les empreses consultores en comunicació i relacions públiques a través d'un estudi exploratori basat en la Grounded Theory. Els resultats suggereixen que la creativitat és una de les competències requerides al professional de les relacions públiques i també un dels criteris que tenen en compte les empreses client a l'hora d'escollir una agència. Tot i així, la figura del director creatiu en relacions públiques genera forta controvèrsia, les tècniques de creativitat utilitzades en el sector es limiten bàsicament a brainstorming, i la creativitat segueix associant-se principalment a la comunicació dirigida al consumidor

This is a study of organisational decision making among senior civil servants in the Department of Health (DOH) in relation to the acceptance of methadone maintenance as a valid treatment modality for opiate misuse in Ireland. A qualitative strategy was adopted with an emergent design and grounded theory perspective. The data was collected using a naturalistic mode of inquiry and comprised of documentary analysis and semi-structured interviews. The aspects of decision making chosen for the study were: 1. Identifying the actors involved considering the heretofore dominant 'corporation sole' culture of the Irish public administration. 2. Identifying two (out of the myriad) processes involved in decision making. 3. Identifying what theoretical model(s) of decision making most closely approximates to this case. The findings were as follows: 1. Actors involved at all levels of the decision making could be identified, albeit with some difficulty. This as a result of the strategic management initiative. Previously, it may not have been possible. Stages or phases could not, in this case, be readily identified though limitations of this study may prove significant. 2. Both the processes selected in decision-making in this case were confirmed. Personal and professional support provided by peers and seniors is crucial to decision making. Decision making does occur within networks: these tend to be those that are formally appointed rather than informal ones. 3. The model closest to that of this case was that of incremental decision making within network settings.This resource was contributed by The National Documentation Centre on Drug Use.

The paper presents the findings of a research study carried out in Ireland in 2006 (Murphy et al., 2007) which explored the meaning of dependence and independence for older people with a disability. The research adopted a grounded theory approach; purposive sampling was used initially with some relational sampling towards the latter interviews. The sample was comprised of 143 older people with one of six disabilities: stroke (n=20), arthritis (20), depression (20), sensory disability (20), a learning disability (24), and dementia (18). All participants lived at home, some participants required high levels of help in activities of living while others were mostly independent. An interview schedule was used to guide interviews, all of which were tape recorded and transcribed. Data was collected on levels of dependence and independence using the Katz scale. Participants recorded high levels of independence in relation to transferring (93%), toileting (92%), dressing (87%), continence (87%) and feeding (98%). The main area of dependence where participants required assistance from others was with bathing (77%). The constant comparative technique was used to analyze qualitative data. The findings of the study would suggest that participants personal definition of their independence or dependence shifted relative to others and/or improvement or worsening of their capacity People were aware of the difference between independence and dependence, but these two concepts were not always perceived as opposites. It was possible to be independent and dependent at the same time. People valued being able to do things for themselves, accepted help when necessary but wanted to reciprocate when possible. Participants used varied coping strategies to regain and retain control of their lives. Strategies to promote older peoples independence and self esteem will be explored in this paper.

No conhecimento em Administração, não é simples encontrar a discussão sobre como sistematizar uma pesquisa acadêmica para a criação de métodos de gestão (frameworks). Como planejar uma pesquisa exploratória, qualitativa e interdisciplinar, para a geração de métodos de planejamento e gestão, é o foco neste trabalho. A pesquisa bibliográfica (desk research), a análise documental, a grounded theory e o estudo de caso são métodos de pesquisa que podem ser utilizados nos trabalhos que produzem sequências de etapas gerenciais, apesar da importância de muitos outros na pesquisa qualitativa. A contribuição empírica deste trabalho começa com a apresentação de diferentes métodos de gestão, aprovados recentemente em journals e conferências acadêmicas, e que foram construídos sob um método (processo) comum de pensamento. Na sequência, além da discussão de como estruturar uma pesquisa científica para a geração de métodos gerenciais, apresentam-se os processos para publicação (e reconhecimento) dessa linha de trabalho.

O presente estudo foi realizado com mães acompanhantes em um hospital escola. Os objetivos foram: compreender as interações vivenciadas, identificar os significados que o familiar acompanhante atribui à experiência de vivenciar a hospitalização da criança, identificar o que essa vivência provoca na vida do familiar e construir um modelo teórico representativo da experiência. Utilizou-se como Referencial Teórico o Interacionismo Simbólico e Referencial Metodológico a "Grounded Theory". Identificou-se os fenômenos Indo em busca de solução e Atravessando uma situação difícil. A partir desses fenômenos emergiu a categoria central Vivenciando com o filho uma passagem difícil e reveladora.

Os objetivos deste estudo foram compreender a natureza da interação entre enfermeiros e doentes oncológicos submetidos à quimioterapia, num hospital-dia, e construir uma teoria de médio alcance. Os dados foram obtidos por meio de entrevistas narrativas com cinco enfermeiras, dez doentes e familiares; grupo focal com as enfermeiras; dez entrevistas de admissão, feitas pelas enfermeiras, e 60 dias de observações. A metodologia que guiou o processo de coleta e de análise dos dados, foi a Grounded Theory. Os resultados apresentam a teoria de médio alcance construída, cuja natureza é constituída por dois componentes: "Processo de avaliação diagnóstica" - coleta de novos dados, reavaliação do processo e acompanhamento da prestação de cuidados e "Processo de intervenção terapêutica de enfermagem" - gestão simultânea de sentimentos e informação. Na teoria desenvolvida, o componente da dimensão relacional da experiência consiste num processo seqüencial em três fases: Início, corpo e fim da relação.

Este estudo teve como objetivo o processo de construção do significado de desmedicalização para enfermeiras obstétricas. Trata-se de pesquisa qualitativa baseada nos princípios da Grounded Theory. Os dados foram obtidos e analisados entre fevereiro e abril de 2006. Foram entrevistadas oito enfermeiras obstétricas atuantes no ensino, pesquisa e/ou assistência ao parto, que adotam a proposta desmedicalizadora como orientação da sua prática. A análise dos dados levou à construção de quatro categorias: refletindo sobre sua prática, caracterizando a prática obstétrica hospitalar como medicalizada, incomodando-se com a assistência medicalizada e identificando os princípios da desmedicalização, cuja integração permitiu identificar o processo construindo o significado de desmedicalização. O respeito à Fisiologia, bem como não usar desnecessariamente práticas intervencionistas como rotina constituíram princípios da desmedicalização. A reflexão sobre sua vida e a caracterização da prática obstétrica hospitalar, como medicalizada, fizeram parte do processo mental das enfermeiras na desconstrução das habilidades adquiridas no modelo biomédico.

RésuméCette thèse en psychologie qualitative et critique de la santé propose un éclairage, sur la subjectivité transgenre, différent des modèles dominants en clinique. Les nosologies de type DSM et de la psychiatrie dominante focalisent sur la seule question de la transition transsexuelle, elles utilisent la sexualité comme outil dans les diagnostics différentiels permettant d'effectuer le gatekeeping de la transition médicalisée du genre. Elles sont décrites comme un dispositif de médicalisation du genre, induisant des pratiques maltraitantes. Une méthodologie qualitative inspirée de la théorie ancrée ainsi que de l'analyse réflexive est utilisée. Un échantillon de 15 personnes représentant la diversité des personnes transgenres FtM a été recruté. Les données provenant d'entrevues non directives sont analysées dans une perspective verticale et horizontale. Les résultats soulignent l'inadéquation des typologies cliniques, de la place qui est donnée à la sexualité dans les procédures diagnostiques et de l'opposition qu'elles construisent entre identité (de genre) et sexualité. Ils plaident pour une vision deleuzienne de type nomade, incarnée et sexuée de la subjectivité transgenre.AbstractThe broad of this study in critical health psychology is to build an understanding of transgender subjectivity which contrast with dominant clinical models. DSM nosology types and dominant psychiatry have traditionally focused only on transsexual transitioning. They use sexuality as a diagnostic tool to address the gatekeeping of the medical transition. These practices have been described as medicalization of gender, inducing mistreatment. A qualitative methodology mixing grounded theory and reflexivity has been used. A sample of 15 persons has been recruited to represent transgender FtM diversity. Data were collected through in-depth interview and analysed case by case and by themes. Results show that dominant clinical typologies of TG are inappropriate, as well as the way sexuality is used in this practices and the opposition between (gender) identity and sexuality. We propose a deleuzian concept of becoming and multiplicity to understand transgender subjectivity.

Este estudo teve como finalidade explorar e descrever o fenómeno de adaptação após lesão medular, enfatizando a explicação das estratégias de adaptação adotadas, e procurando identificar as implicações que têm nos cuidados de enfermagem. A metodologia utilizada foi a Qualitativa, tendo como referência metodológica a Grounded Theory. Para tal, foi dada voz ativa a nove indivíduos que sofreram lesão medular, com um percurso de adaptação de sucesso à nova condição, utilizando a entrevista semidirigida. Foi efetuada também análise documental de alguns relatos de vida, partindo para a análise dos dados à luz da Grounded Theory. Foi possível explicar o fenómeno de adaptação após lesão medular, sendo evidenciada a influência do encontro com um novo sentido da vida, na manutenção da disposição para gerir as consequências que advêm do confronto com uma lesão medular. O tema central do estudo prende-se assim com a dimensão espiritual da pessoa, o que antevê uma intervenção de enfermagem específica nesta área, junto do indivíduo após lesão medular.

Objetivou-se compreender o significado da prática social do enfermeiro na perspectiva luhmanniana e possibilitar um debate acerca da construção de um código específico para a área que vá além do tradicional código saúde-doença predominante no sistema de saúde, cuja comunicação socialmente relevante é a doença. Utilizou-se como referencial metodológico a Grounded Theory e como técnica de coleta de dados uma entrevista realizada com 35 participantes, entre maio e dezembro de 2007. A codificação e análise dos dados permitem concluir que apostar na enfermagem como um sistema funcionalmente diferenciado implica em desenvolver um código binário que potencialize a saúde como comunicação socialmente relevante e o ser humano como um ser social, inserido em uma realidade complexa e multidimensional.

The aim of this research was to structure a conceptual model of hope and hopelessness based on dictionary definitions, and to verify this model on the basis of the experiences of the severely depressive and non-depressive elderly. This research has produced a substantive theory of hope and hopelessness which is based on the experiences of the depressive and non-depressive elderly, and on the concept analysis of hope and hopelessness based on English dictionary definitions. The patients who participated in the research were 65 years old and older men and women (n=22) who had been admitted to a psychiatric hospital because of major depression, and another group: the non-depressive elderly (n=21), who were recruited from the pensioners’ clubs. The data were collected in interviews using the Clinical Assessment Tool, developed by Farran, Salloway and Clark (1990) and Farran, Wilken and Popovich (1992), and it produced 553 pages of written text, which were analysed using the ATLAS/ti programme. ATLAS/ti is a tool for analysing qualitative data and is based on Grounded Theory. The medical and nursing records of the depressive elderly completed source triangulation. The concept analysis of hope and hopelessness was made on the basis of the definitions of English dictionaries (n=103), using semantic analysis and the ATLAS/ti programme. The most important hope-promoting factors were human relations, health and managing in everyday living. Autonomy, self-determination and feeling of security were highly appreciated among the elderly. Hopelessness, on the other hand, was most often associated with the same factors: human relations, health and everyday living. Especially, losses of significant others were experienced as strongly hope-diminishing. Old age had brought freedom from duties concerning others, but now, when you finally had an opportunity to enjoy yourself, you could not accomplish anything; you were clasped in the arms of total inability, depression had come. The most obvious difference in the life course of the depressive and nondepressive elderly was the abundance of traumatic experiences in the childhood and youth of the depressive elderly. The continuous circulation of fearful thoughts was almost touchable, and suicidality was described in connection with these thoughts. You were afraid to be awake and also to go to sleep. Managing day by day was the goal. The research produced the Basic Social Process (BSP) of hope: achieving - maintaining - losing, which expresses a continuous balancing between Being without and Being with. The importance of the object of hope was combined with the amount of hope and disappointment. The process of approaching defined the realisation of hope and the process of withdrawal that of losing. Joy and security versus grief and insecurity defined the Being with and Being without. Two core categories were found. The first one “If only I could�? reflects lack of energy, lack of knowledge, lack of courage and lack of ability. The other one “There is always a loophole�? reflects deliberate tracing of possibilities and the belief in finding solutions, and managing.
