The Family as a Place of Experiencing Critical Events – Case Study

RESEARCH OBJECTIVE: The main aim is to show the narrative of a woman who experienced critical events in her personal life. THE RESEARCH PROBLEMS AND METHODS: 1. How does the narrator describe critical events based on her family experience? 2. What meaning does she ascribe to the events experienced in retrospect? The presented research is situated in the interpretative research tradition. A descriptive‑theoretical type of case study was used. Empirical data was collected using Fritz Schütze’s narrative interview technique. THE PROCESS OF ARGUMENTATION: The interview began by presenting the narrator’s life story from her childhood to the present day. Attention was paid to her understanding of herself and her life, her relationship with her parents, and critical events that occurred in her family. The empirical material was then interpreted based on Schütze’s process structures, which revealed her current life course, critical events in the family and landmark events in the narrator’s individual biography. RESEARCH RESULTS: The interpretation of the empirical material showed the narrator in the process of change, internal metamorphoses. It revealed poor intra‑family relations, which became the cause of illness, lack of self‑acceptance, and depressive and anxious states. The therapy that she underwent, satisfying professional work and mutual feelings of love allowed the narrator to overcome her limitations, weaknesses and take a critical look at the family relationships that were the cause of her pain and suffering. CONCLUSIONS, RECOMMENDATIONS AND APPLICABLE VALUE OF RESEARCH: The narrative presented in the paper can become a stimulus for change in people who are currently struggling with family problems, illness or suffering: all those people who experience anxiety and loneliness in the space of family life.

Listen to me, I really am sick! Patient and family narratives of clinical deterioration before and during rapid response system intervention.

To explore patient and family narratives about their recognition and response to clinical deterioration and their interactions with clinicians prior to and during Medical Emergency Team (MET) activations in hospital. Research on clinical deterioration has mostly focused on clinicians' roles. Although patients and families can identify subtle cues of early deterioration, little research has focused on their experience of recognising, speaking up and communicating with clinicians during this period of instability. A narrative inquiry. Using narrative interviewing techniques, 33 adult patients and 14 family members of patients, who had received a MET call, in one private and one public academic teaching hospital in Melbourne, Australia were interviewed. Narrative analysis was conducted on the data. The core story of help seeking for recognition and response by clinicians to patient deterioration yielded four subplots: (1) identifying deterioration, recognition that something was not right and different from earlier; (2) voicing concerns to their nurse or by family members on their behalf; (3) being heard, desiring a response acknowledging the legitimacy of their concerns; and (4) once concerns were expressed, there was an expectation of and trust in clinicians to act on the concerns and manage the situation. Clinical deterioration results in an additional burden for hospitalised patients and families to speak up, seek help and resolve their concerns. Educating patients and families on what to be concerned about and when to notify staff requires a close partnership with clinicians. Clinicians must create an environment that enables patients and families to speak up. They must be alert to both subjective and objective information, to acknowledge and to act on the information accordingly. The consolidated criteria for reporting qualitative research (COREQ) guidelines were used for reporting. The consumer researcher was involved in design, data analysis and publication preparation.

Biographical Work of Parents of Children with Non-Normative Sexual Orientation and/or Gender Identity

This paper aims to reconstruct the biographical work (Corbin and Strauss) undertaken by parents of non-normative people. The initiating event of biographical work is the disclosure of a non-normative sexual orientation and/or gender identity by the child. For many parents, this is an event that causes a breakdown of previous schemes of action, a gradual loss of control, and suffering.
 The empirical data consist of autobiographical narratives of parents of people with non-normative sexual orientation and/or gender identity. The study involved mothers and fathers residing throughout Poland, who were selected according to the snowball procedure. The data were collected through the narrative interview technique and compiled according to the analytical procedure proposed by Fritz Schütze, which is part of the interpretative research paradigm.
 In the course of four parallel biographical processes (contextualizing, coming to terms, reconstituting identity, and recasting biography), the new experience is integrated into the biography, its consequences are understood and accepted, a coherent identity is reconstituted and a new course for one’s life are charted. The analysis of the narrators’ biographical work has made it possible to identify three categories that organize the course of the parents’ lives and identities—stigma, normalization, and activism.

PERAN BAPPEBTI DALAM PENGAWASAN PERDAGANGAN BERJANGKA DI PROVINSI LAMPUNG

Futures trading is an alternative financial investment for individuals and businesses. The party responsible for monitoring/supervising futures trading is the Commodity Futures Trading Supervisory Agency (BAPPEBTI). The purpose of the study is to find out how the role of BAPPEBTI when supervising futures trading. This study uses qualitative descriptive research, which is a method used to describe or analyze research results but not to draw conclusions. The subject of this study is a futures company in Lampung province. The data collection techniques used are narrative interview techniques, documentation, and data analysis. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that BAPPEBTI plays a role in preventive supervision carried out by means of technical training, namely in the context of developing and coaching all futures trading. The role of BAPPEBTI is to carry out repressive supervision, especially when canceling decisions of subordinate bodies that are contrary to laws and regulations. The monitoring is carried out through inspection and supervision based on standard operating procedures in order to further improve the compliance of each futures trading company. BAPPEBTI is expected to provide more intense supervision and more active direction to futures companies. Keywords: Role; Supervision; Trade.

“Fix the system … the people who are in it are not the ones that are broken” A qualitative study exploring UK academic researchers’ views on support at work

Recent evidence suggests that it remains difficult for academic researchers to preserve global well-being when working in the UK higher education sector. Our study aimed to explore academic researchers' perspectives on how they feel their mental health and well-being could be better supported within the UK higher education system. Using a combination of semi-structured and narrative interviewing techniques, we gathered the perspectives of 26 researchers. Narrative and reflexive thematic analysis were then used on the data collected. Our findings highlight the need to tackle systemic issues such job insecurity and unrealistically high workloads, given the risk they can pose to researchers' mental health and well-being. Our findings also highlight the key influence of managers and supervisors in creating a supportive environment, and the importance of going beyond what support is offered. That is, it is vital to effectively promote any existing or emerging support systems, and to be proactive in offering this support. Given the diversity identified in researchers’ individual situations, it is important that support is flexible and takes into consideration individual requirements and preferences. Higher education authorities and institutions need to determine how they can foster a healthy, caring environment for researchers working in this sector going forwards.

The Process of Becoming a Nursery Caregiver. The Interactive Perspective

ABSTRACT The main aim of this paper is to reconstruct the process of becoming a caregiver working in early childhood and care (ECEC) daycare centres for children up to three years of age in Poland. The theoretical framework is the concept of becoming, through which the formation of professional identity, within the social world of the nursery, is reconstructed. The process of becoming a nursery caregiver takes place within a specific historical, political, social, institutional and interactional context. Reflexively created self-identification requires confirmation by interaction partners. New empirical data were collected through the thematic narrative interview technique (n = 55) focused on the professional experiences of women caregivers. Data coding and analysis were conducted according to the grounded theory method. Based on an in-depth analysis of the narrative interviews, the process of becoming a caregiver in a nursery was reconstructed, which includes preparing for the role, building professional practices in the context of the nursery’s concept of work and creating a professional identity. Due to the institutional framework of the process of becoming a caregiver, the results of the study are discussed in reference to the Polish ECEC context.

ENTREVISTA NARRATIVA ETNOGRÁFICA CLÍNICA SOBRE A EXPERIÊNCIA DE MULHERES EGRESSAS DO SISTEMA PRISIONAL

ABSTRACT Objectives to analyze the perception of women discharged from the prison system about the main stressors that marked their life trajectories and to discuss the feasibility of the Clinical Ethnographic Narrative Interview technique to facilitate the narrative of this group. Method narrative research developed in a social protection center in the interior of São Paulo. Data were collected in 2021 (January and February) using the Clinical Ethnographic Narrative Interview technique, which intersperses narratives and visual aids. The synergy between the concepts of vulnerability and stress was adopted as a theoretical framework, and content analysis was performed. The discussion of viability was based on the criteria of acceptability and expansion. Results The narratives addressed psychosocial difficulties prior to incarceration and the hostile environment of the overcrowded prison as a place of conflict and abuse of power. Family helplessness, estrangement from children, negative emotions, somatic symptoms and traumas were mentioned as consequences of seclusion. The participants also reported coping processes with words that referred to the ideas of overcoming, hope, new beginning and gratitude. It is understood that this high point of the narratives may reflect the potential of the interview technique and corroborates its adequacy. Conclusion The undoubted painful character of the narratives about the different adversities experienced, especially as a result of seclusion, was also permeated by aspects that denoted resilient processes. The adoption of this interview technique made data collection more sensitive, welcoming and timely to expand the repertoire of words in the expression of feelings and revisit painful experiences, envisioning positive possibilities for the future.

Narrative Interviewing in Research on the Education of Talented Learners Based on the Own Previous Research

The main goal of this article is to demonstrate the significant value of using narrative interviews in research on the education of talented learners. The authors decided to highlight the value of such research in the case of a specific group of learners. However, it might prove valuable to mention the special features of that method and some challenges that can appear in such research.
 The authors investigate the importance of applying narrative inquiry, especially narrative interviewing, in research on talented individuals. As for the research approach, it is embedded in qualitative methods. The authors present a retrospective secondary analysis based on their previous research into talented people’s experience of education, from an approach of both writer and reviewer.
 The introduction contains an outline of the subject of the text. Then, a description of narrative interviews and of talented learners is presented. The research method is also characterized. The previous results regarding talented learners’ experience of education are presented. Finally, the research results and recommendations for research practice are provided.
 The narrative interview technique proved to be a suitable method for the social sciences. It is appropriate for research on talented learners and their experiences within the educational process. Thanks to narrative interviews, researchers can reveal many important matters, such as learners’ intellectual talents and accomplishments, their relationships with themselves and other people, and some important common patterns of their functioning, such as perfectionism or non-conformism. Moreover, the research material can very rich and researchers can interpret it in very interesting ways so that the readers (educators and parents) can understand this particular group of learners and provide them with a convenient, conducive educational environment.
 The final section consists of some possibilities for researchers who want to use narrative interviewing as a method of research. The authors suggest obtaining some psychological and interpretative skills and building good relationships with the narrators.

Exploring Organizational Improvisation through the Experience of Small Business Managers

Improvisation is an important organizational resource for dealing with unforeseen events, recurrent events typical of times of crisis, such as the Covid-19 pandemic. To analyze the phenomenon of organizational improvisation (OI) with regard to the heuristics used to achieve it, as well as its results in the business context, the narrative interview technique was used in this study to interact with 28 managers and owners of small businesses. Forty-one episodes of OI were described by the informants and analyzed using the content analysis technique. From these analyses, five categories of outcomes of OI episodes were identified, four positive and one negative. The application of seven creative tactics associated with the OI episodes in question was also evident: adaptation, copy, exaptation, frugal innovation, improvement, new combination, and nonaptation spandrels. In terms of results, emphasis is placed on the description and analysis of two episodes of OI associated with the category of Strategic Repositioning of the organization, a phenomenon that was hitherto identified in the literature as rare but possible. As for the seven creative tactics that were identified, they provided evidence that the Adaptation construct used in some OI frameworks is incomplete and restrictive in terms of possible actions.

Нарративный подход в исследовании миграции учителей

The article is devoted to the theoretical and methodological aspects of the study of teacher migration. It is worth noting that in Russia, the migration of teachers has not become a separate topic for research. Based on the analysis of modern approaches to migration and mobility, the strengths and weaknesses of the research strategies of “mobile turn” and “attachment to place” are revealed, the heuristic possibilities of quantitative and qualitative methodology in the study of teacher migration are revealed. The purpose of the article is to provide a rationale and a conceptual basis for research on the migration of teachers and graduates of pedagogical universities. The article identifies the causes, forms and consequences of teacher migration, as well as key trends characteristic of modern labor migration processes in the educational space of the Russian school, using a specially developed narrative interview technique. The article talks about the need to apply a narrative approach to the analysis of the communicative form of narration. The method of narrative interview was used in the mobile methodology as a “strategy of mixing methods” Go along and Recovery of memories, to study the social experience of the teacher and collect information about the place, time and situational circumstances of his migration. Today, a number of studies are presented in which there are changes in the interpretations of the study of migration, and which form the basis for new theoretical approaches to the study of migration processes.

Stages Passing of Distress in Cancer Patients: A Narrative Research Study

Introduction: Cancer patients are extremely vulnerable psychologically and may suffer a variety of psychological trauma. This can have a significant impact on their cancer resistance and recovery. The aim of this study was to investigate the transition process of crisis in cancer patients, considering the high number of cancer in the country. Methods: This study was conducted using a qualitative paradigm. In this study, narrative research approach and narrative interview technique was run in order to achieve the transition stages in crisis in cancer patients. During the interview with 14 cancer patients in Gonabad City, theoretical saturation was obtained. Data were analyzed using Strauss and Corbin (1990) comparative analysis. Results: Cancer patients went through 8 stages before accepting death. These stages included Disease shock, denial of disease, concealment, anger, depression, religious perception, acceptance of illness and acceptance of death. Conclusion: Due to the need to know the crisis process in people with cancer and the high number of patients, the results of this study can be used for people with the patients to deal with them properly, as well as for researchers, managers and planners to know more. The needs of cancer patients and evidence-based planning should be used.

Doświadczenia edukacyjne głuchoniewidomych uczniów w codzienności szkolnej: komunikat z badań

Introduction: In the field of social sciences and humanities in Poland, academic research on the problem of deafblindness is undertaken sporadically. Deafblindness is regarded as a difficult subject of scientific research. Research aim: The main aim of the research is to bring closer and understand how deafblindness affects the educational experience of people affected by it. The article describes the experiences of the implementation of the obligation to educate in segregated and non-segregated institutions. Research method: The narrative interview technique was used, which seemed to me to be the best way to get to know the social world of deafblind people. The purpose of the interview was to obtain information on the basis of conversations with people with varying degrees of simultaneous hearing and sight damage, which would provide a basis for the reconstruction of the temporal order, as well as the sequence of events that make up the individual stages of a deafblind person's biography. Results and conclusions: The educational experiences of the respondents are neither clearly positive nor exclusively negative. In this research, it is deafblind people who rediscover their own educational experiences, reporting what has changed in them as persons, methods of evaluation, relations with others.

Biographical studies of prisoners’ families. Methodological notes

The article deals with the life situation of the families of prisoners, in particular, parental relationships connected with the experience of incarceration in a correctional institution. During the realisation of the research I noticed many difficulties in finding contact with potential interlocutors, therefore I considered the families of prisoners as an environment “invisible in the research field”. In addition, I defined families of prisoners as marginalised and stigmatised environments. The main aim of the article is to show selected methodological dilemmas that can be encountered through the design and analysis of biographical research of family members of prisoners. The theoretical introduction of the paper as an extended definition of the penitentiary crisis allowed to characterise the dominant trends and directions of research on prisoners’ families. Further, it focused on selected problems of realisation of qualitative research (especially biographical research). I analyse the literature and present my own methodological approach based on the direction of interpretative sociology. Using the potential of the autobiographical narrative interview technique (of the German sociological school of Fritz Schütze), I collected 31 interviews with adult children of prisoners and 30 interviews with parents of prisoners. Finally, I refer to my own research experience and discuss the “usefulness and ineffectiveness” of an autobiographical narrative interview. Moreover, I characterise key reflections on the role of the researcher in obtaining autobiographical narrations. The article is an invitation to discuss the improvement of research procedures, especially in the area of research on family members of persons in prisons.

Strengthening Individual Teacher-Child Relationships: An Intervention Study Among Student Teachers in Special Education

Relationships with children with special educational needs can be emotionally challenging for teachers and conflicts may negatively impact both children and teachers. Beginning teachers in particular may struggle with negative teacher-child relationships and the emotions these invoke. A first step in coping with relationship difficulties with specific children is increasing the teacher’s awareness and understanding of relational themes and emotions in the relationship with that specific child. Therefore, this multiple case intervention study examined the effects of LLInC (Leerkracht Leerling Interactie Coaching in Dutch, or: Teacher Student Interaction Coaching) in a sample of six student teachers in their final internship. LLInC is a relationship-focused coaching program using narrative interview techniques to facilitate in-depth reflection on teacher-child relationships. The intervention aims to foster teachers’ awareness of (negative) internalized emotions and beliefs in order to improve closeness and positive affect, and to reduce conflict and negative affect in teacher-child relationships. Participants repeatedly reported on their perceptions of the teacher-child relationship and on emotions in relation to a specific child before and after the LLInC intervention, which consisted of two one-on-one sessions with a coach. Visual between- and within-phases analyses revealed differential intervention effects across teachers on the development of teacher-child relationship quality and relationship emotions. For all teachers, except for one, positive effects were found on feelings of joy and perceptions of closeness. Preventive effects (i.e., stopping downward trends) were more often observed for competence-based and relationship-based emotions and perceptions (competence, commitment, closeness) than for basic emotions (joy, anger, worry). Although further research is needed, the results highlight the potential of LLInC in influencing pre-service teachers’ child-specific emotions and relationship perceptions. Directions for future research and implications for teacher education are discussed.

Polish low-income mothers: conversions of human, social and cultural capitals through their lifetime

ABSTRACT The aim of this article is to identify the human, social and cultural capitals of Polish low-income mothers, and to reconstruct the capitals’ conversion. The research was carried out using the method of (auto)biographical interview rooted in the tradition of symbolic interactionism, while data (autobiographical narratives about life) were collected in two Polish cities as part of the ISOTIS project, using the narrative interview technique developed by Schütze [(2008). Biography analysis on the empirical base of autobiographical narratives: How to analyse autobiographical narrative interviews – part one. European Studies on Inequalities and Social Cohesion, 1, 153–242], which was adapted by the ISOTIS project team. The analysis of women’s autobiographical narratives made it possible to reconstruct the events that were significant to them and the resources that they activated in everyday situations, compensating for the shortage of material capital. Recognition of the sequences of process structures occurring in the biographies revealed the narrators’ attitude to certain phases in their lives and the dominant forms of their activity that influenced their decisions and choices.

The The Daily Life of Contemporary Mothers – Between Social Expectations, the Sense of Duty and the Individual Experience of Motherhood

RESEARCH OBJECTIVE: The aim of this paper is to present the dilemmas of everyday life of contemporary mothers related to society’s expectations of motherhood and their individual experiences. THE RESEARCH PROBLEM AND METHODS: The research problem was the (re)construction of everyday life of modern mothers during a pandemic. The narrative interview technique was used in the research. THE PROCESS OF ARGUMENTATION: This article analyzes how mothers experience motherhood during a pandemic against the background of social transformations. The issue of everyday life as an important category was presented in the considerations contained in the article below. Then, the methodological assumptions and research results focused on the issues of the multiplicity of choices in the present day and the difficulties associated with them, as well as the everyday life of mothers, were presented. The article ends with reflections on the situation of mothers in the context of contemporary challenges. RESEARCH RESULTS: A conclusion can be drawn about the positioning of motherhood between the traditional and modern pattern of the ideal mother. First of all, mothers feel tired of the seriousness of the role they play, and from fulfilling which many people can “hold them accountable”. CONCLUSIONS, INNOVATIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS: The conducted research shows interesting conclusions pointing to changes related to the perception of the role of the mother in modern times. They contribute to the undertaking of more extensive research on the need for (re) construction of motherhood.

“Foi medo, não foi coragem”: iniquidades raciais na assistência obstétrica

Trata-se de uma pesquisa descritiva, de abordagem compreensivista, que objetivou explorar a perspectiva de mulheres negras sobre as iniquidades raciais na assistência obstétrica e analisar as suas percepções acerca da assistência recebida durante a gestação, parto e pós-parto. Foram entrevistadas oito mulheres, no período de abril a setembro de 2019, através de entrevistas individuais, utilizando a técnica de entrevista narrativa aberta. Os dados foram analisados por meio da técnica da análise de conteúdo temático. As entrevistadas afirmam que desejam um parto respeitoso e de sua escolha, entretanto, relatam as experiências racistas vividas e estratégias utilizadas durante a gestação para fugir da violência obstétrica. Conclui-se que elas consideram o cenário da assistência obstétrica desigual e mais violento para as mulheres negras, e em seus processos de gestar e parir criam uma rota de fuga dessa violência, em busca de garantir um parto humanizado. Além disso, afirmam que a rede de apoio é fundamental para o protagonismo durante o parto e para a mulher negra essa rede também funciona como fator protetor diante da violência obstétrica.

Child labor processes in the city of Mashhad: A narrative study

It has been more than a decade that the phenomenon of child labor has become a social problem in Iran. Though universal, it has certain features in every society. In the present study, the processes of child labor formation in the city of Mashhad as one of the cities of Iran have been investigated. The study population in this study were working children living in Mashhad in 2015. First, the files of 345 working children were reviewed through documentary method. A profile of the working children situation was provided. Then, the narrative research method was employed to find these processes and narrative interview technique was used to obtain the description of the lives of these children. After fifteen interviews, theoretical saturation was obtained. Sequential and fragmented sections that were effective in bringing children to work were then extracted as sub-narratives. In this way, the general processes through which child labor forms were determined in a pattern. The results show that most of working children have family support. This means that they turn to work and live on the streets while their families are aware of this. These children are driven to work on the streets in four processes of being a member of an immigrant family with economic poverty, having a family following labor culture, having irresponsible parents, as well as being a member of a beggar family. In all processes, there are interrelated factors at three macro, intermediate and micro levels that underlie child's labor. At the macro level, economic problems lead to the formation of two huge migration waves to the city of Mashhad. Poor immigrants settle on the outskirts of the city and are in an unfavorable economic situation. At the intermediate level, the critical living conditions of working children such as domestic violence, lack of access to education (especially among foreign immigrants), preference for work over education, the prevalence of having a begging-based lifestyle and addiction of family members can be mentioned. Findings of the study at the micro level emphasize the relationship between the working children and the offending or working peers. In these situations, working children may become addicted and be forced to work to pay for drugs, or be driven to work under the influence of their friends to gain economic benefits such as buying favorable snacks or playing games on the net at game centers. However, it was also found out that the children's families also benefit from and encourage them to work.

Sistering and sexual socialisation: a discursive study of Xhosa women’s sisterly interactions concerning sex and reproduction

Considerable research has been devoted to understanding and promoting parent-child sexual socialisation. Less attention has been paid to experiences of sibling interactions concerning sex. Drawing on discursive psychology, this study explores how women report interacting about sex and reproduction in their sisterly relationships. Ten in-depth interviews were conducted, using Free Association Narrative Interview technique, with five Black isiXhosa-speaking, middle-aged and working class women in South Africa. Findings show that the participants construct their sisterly interactions concerning sex drawing on three interpretative repertoires: silence; safety and secrecy; risk and responsibilisation. The silence repertoire constructs sex talk between sisters as vague and non-viable. Within the safety and secrecy repertoire, sisters are constructed as sharing sexual secrets and providing a safe space for sexual exploration. The risk and responsibilisation repertoire is deployed when understandings of ‘proper’ feminine behaviour and sexual purity are breached, with sisters emphasising the importance of avoiding risk and acting responsibly. Thus, alongside encouraging the expression of women’s agency in relation to sexuality, sisters potentially join a patriarchal policing and the shaming of women’s sexuality. These contradictory repertoires have implications for sexual health programmes and interventions targeted at family communication about sex.

O doświadczaniu choroby Parkinsona. Socjologiczne spojrzenie na chorego

<p>Z uwagi na proces starzenia się społeczeństw częstość występowania zespołów otępiennych stale wzrasta. Choroba Parkinsona jest jedną z najczęstszych chorób neurozwyrodnieniowych i dotyczy przede wszystkim pacjentów po 50. roku życia. Głównymi objawami choroby Parkinsona są zaburzenia w postaci spowolnienia ruchowego, drżenia spoczynkowego i wzmożenia napięcia mięśni typu plastycznego. Głównym celem przeprowadzonego badania było poszukiwanie odpowiedzi na pytania o indywidualny sens doświadczeń, relacje z innymi oraz zmianę zachowań ukierunkowanych na podejmowanie działań życiowych. Poszukiwano odpowiedzi na następujące pytania badawcze: Jakie znaczenie nadaje respondentka treści swoich doświadczeń? Jak reaguje na wiadomość o chorobie przewlekłej? Jak choroba zmienia życie człowieka? Jak życie z chorobą przewlekłą wpływa na tożsamość jednostki? Badanie zostało przeprowadzone w lutym 2019 r. przez autorkę artykułu za pomocą metody biograficznej i techniki wywiadu narracyjnego. Badania naukowe w zakresie nauk społecznych nad doświadczaniem chorób przewlekłych koncentrują się bezpośrednio na kluczowych graczach w służbie zdrowia – ludziach chorych. Badania nad chorobą przewlekłą ukazują, jak ludzie postrzegają siebie jako osoby przewlekle chore i jak choroba wpływa na ich życie.</p>
