Riding on resilience: impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on women experiencing intimate partner violence.

The COVID-19 pandemic and resultant public health measures, although helpful in reducing the spread of the disease, have disproportionately impacted women experiencing intimate partner violence (IPV). Despite these adverse circumstances, women continue to show resilience. Although difficult to define, resilience can be conceptualized as a dynamic process in which psychosocial and environmental factors interact to enable an individual to survive, grow, and thrive despite exposure to adversity. This research identifies facilitators and gaps in supports to promoting resilience among urban and rural women experiencing intimate partner violence (IPV) during the COVID-19 pandemic, via an online survey (n = 95) and interviews (n = 19). T-tests, Wilcoxon rank sum tests, and interpretive description were utilized for analyses. Almost 41% of participants experienced an increase in abuse during COVID-19, and resilience significantly decreased during COVID-19 (t(44) = 2.91, p = 0.006). Qualitatively, four parent themes (coercive control, social services, resilience, and future) and seven sub-themes emerged. Changes are needed in accessibility and delivery of support services for women experiencing IPV during COVID-19, and future pandemics.

Disease-based traumas transform lives: A qualitative study focused on healthcare professionals

RationaleTraumas occur at unexpected moments and become a turning point in life and can cause people to experience transformations. While these transformations can progress negatively, it is also possible for people to experience positive transformations after trauma (post-traumatic growth). ObjectiveThis study aims to reveal how the physicians and nurses with disease-based traumas make sense of their experiences to provide better insights into the transformative power of these traumas. Both social life and work-life were evaluated from the social dimensions of trauma. Also, the advantages and disadvantages of being a health professional in this process were examined. MethodsQualitative research method was used in the study and data were obtained through interviews with 23 participants who experienced the case of disease-based trauma. As a result of the interviews, 253 pages of data were obtained. The data were subjected to thematic analysis and the Maxqda Program was used. ResultsThe data obtained through the interviews conducted within this attempt were categorized into parent themes such as being a health worker, post-traumatic transformations, changes in business life, and changes in the role of a service provider. ConclusionsAs a result of the study, it was seen that the social relations, philosophy of life, belief systems, and self-perceptions of healthcare professionals were transformed after the disease-based trauma and innovations occurred in their lives. Also, positive and negative changes have been determined in the relationships of healthcare professionals who have experienced disease-based trauma with their colleagues and managers their sense of belonging to the organization, the way they provide health services, and their approach to patients.

Understanding the Experiences of Living With an Artificial Eye in Children With Retinoblastoma-Perspectives of Children and Their Parents.

Background: Retinoblastoma is a rare form of pediatric eye cancer for which enucleation is a common treatment modality. There is an increasing focus upon the impact of enucleation on children and families. This study aimed to explore the experiences of children and their families following enucleation to consider the barriers that may be encountered when adjusting to living with an artificial eye and identifying the support services and strategies used to address these barriers. Methods: Using a descriptive qualitative approach, interviews were conducted with 12 parents and seven children and thematic analysis was used to identify four themes representing the perspective of parents and children. Results: Parent themes identified were (a) entry into the world of retinoblastoma; (b) the importance of specialist support; (c) a family learning to cope; and (d) navigating school. The perspectives of children were (a) the importance of preparation and play; (b) positive reinforcement and hospital support; (c) support and openness at home; and (d) the importance of good school planning. Two overarching themes related to parent and child adaptation were also identified. Discussion: The study findings reveal that the process of adapting to living with an artificial eye extended to influencing decisions around parenting, learning to advocate for their child, and supporting children through school and peer relationships. For children, the importance of ongoing support and information was vital to enhance understanding, adaptation, and development of independence. Overall, the study suggests that children and families undergoing enucleation need continuing, individualized, and specialist support.

Examining the Effect of Social Media on Online Reputation Management of Hotels Special Reference to down South Area in Sri Lanka during COVID 19 Pandemic

Covid 19 has physically halted the world's activities. Almost every industry in the globe has failed, forcing them to choose whether to seize the firm or continue operating. Social media has emerged as a critical role in determining the fate of businesses and sectors. As the most significant force in the new normal, social media has produced a large demand for all sectors functioning throughout the world. Covid 19 has made the globe virtual and permeable, but social media contributes to the world's seamless virtual operation regardless of the field. During covid 19, hotels and tourist businesses that deal with customer satisfaction required to focus extra attention on strengthening their reputation and trust with their customers. In accordance with this, the study's goal is to investigate the impact of social media on hotel online reputation management, with a focus on down south area in srilanka. The purposive sample approach was used to pick a sample of 8 hotels from among hoteliers in the down south area. Thematic analysis was used in the study to assess the results of the hotel interviews. Social media marketing communication mix considered as the parental theme, while, social media marketing strategies, social media sales promotion and social media interactive marketing being the sub themes of the study. The study's key findings demonstrated that facebook and instagram play an important part in preserving and obtaining online hotel reputation, becoming the most powerful elements. Youtube drew less attention because of the time element being mentioned. The hotels have achieved a big and enormous online awareness and online reputation through viral intimacy marketing campaigns and paid advertising in order to optimize their occupancy levels. Viral intimacy marketing has gained significant advantages for hotels in terms of advertising and sales promotion while being the least expensive strategy. This study emphasizes that social media is serving as a lifeline in pandemic scenarios owing of the continuous service provided. Further research on the mediating role of wow and wom marketing and customer brand insistence is required in hotels in order to investigate the influence of social media on online reputation management.

Development of a framework to assess the quality of data sources in healthcare settings.

The purpose of this study was to develop a framework to assess the quality of healthcare data sources. First, a systematic review was performed and a thematic analysis of included literature conducted to identify items relating to the quality of healthcare data sources. Second, expert advisory group meetings were held to explore experts' perception of the results of the review and identify gaps in the findings. Third, a framework was developed based on the findings. Synthesis of the review results and expert advisory group meetings resulted in 8 parent themes and 22 subthemes. The parent themes were: Governance, leadership, and management; Data; Trust; Context; Monitoring; Use of information; Standardization; Learning and training. The 22 subthemes were: governance, finance, organization, characteristics, time, data management, data quality, ethics, access, security, quality improvement, monitoring and feedback, dissemination, analysis, research, standards, linkage, infrastructure, documentation, definitions and classification, learning, and training. The herein presented framework was developed using a robust methodology which included reviewing literature and extracting data source quality items, filtering, and matching items, developing a list of themes, and revising them based on expert opinion. To the best of our knowledge, this study is the first to apply a systematic approach to identify aspects related to the quality of healthcare data sources. The framework, can assist those using healthcare data sources to identify and assess the quality of a data source and inform whether the data sources used are fit for their intended use.

The Experience of Children With Neuroblastoma and Their Parents During Single-Room Isolation for 131I-Metaiodobenzylguanidine Therapy: A Qualitative Descriptive Study.

Background: Administration of 131I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (131I-MIBG) for neuroblastoma requires hospitalization in single-room isolation and limits caregiver physical contact due to the child's radioactive burden. Though used for decades, there is a dearth of research on the experiences of children and their parents while isolated. Methods: This qualitative descriptive study evaluated the experience of children with neuroblastoma undergoing single-room isolation for 131I-MIBG therapy and their parents. Ten nurses, nine parents, and five children were interviewed; transcripts were analyzed applying a conventional content analysis approach. Results: Child themes included overall experiences ranging from positive to negative; emotional stress was common; symptoms were common but mostly managed; the children were adequately prepared for isolation; and audiovisual technology and entertainment helped. The indwelling urinary catheter was a source of emotional stress and/or pain for several children. Parent themes included I thought it was going to be a lot worse; it gets better with time; feeling concerned and overwhelmed; prepared as much as you can be; and you feel like you're not alone. Discussion: Findings suggest that children and parents would benefit from additional coping support interventions to address emotional distress. Efforts should be made to identify other sources of technology or room designs that can maximize the child's sense of connection with parents and healthcare professionals. Additional research is needed to examine the impact of this isolation experience on the long-term psychological outcomes of children and parents.

“I felt her company”: A qualitative study on factors affecting closeness and emotional support seeking with an embodied conversational agent

Embodied conversational agents (ECAs) show promise for use as companions in emotional support applications, although real world uptake can be low. Incorporating closeness building techniques to interactions may improve engagement. Research has identified a range of linguistic, behavioural, emotional, and appearance strategies to build rapport and working alliance with ECAs, however substantially less research has investigated closeness; a relationship quality that is more suited to ECAs in supportive companion roles. Exploratory qualitative research may help to inform theoretical models and the design of ECAs for closeness in supportive applications. Qualitative data were collected as part of a mixed-method experimental study. As part of the study, a community sample of 197 adults provided written responses to two open-ended questions assessing barriers and facilitators to closeness and emotional support seeking with an ECA. Data were analysed by two independent raters using conventional content analysis. Parent themes and sub-themes were derived from the data and refined to achieve agreement. Factors affecting closeness with an ECA included its physical characteristics, conversational ability, rapport building behaviours, and program errors. These factors, plus features of ECA specific support and preferences for human support affected willingness to seek emotional support from the ECA. The results contribute to the theoretical framework of embodied agent-patient communication and may inform the design of companion ECAs. The findings suggest that companion ECAs should deliver rapport building behaviours and high quality conversations, be constructed with humanlike facial features, and be error free. Although, these features should be further evaluated experimentally.

Introduction of Complementary Foods for Children with Down Syndrome: Parent and Physician Experiences

Aims Children with Down syndrome are at risk for feeding difficulties due to medical comorbidities and associated developmental delays, yet there are no peer-reviewed published standards to guide families with feeding progression. This study explored family experiences introducing complementary foods (e.g., purees, table food) for children with Down syndrome. A secondary aim was to describe primary care provider (PCP) training on early progression of feeding for children with Down syndrome and investigate the recommendations they gave families. Methods Semi-structured interviews with twenty-two parents and eight primary care providers (PCPs) were conducted. Descriptive statistics were used to characterize the sample and to report on findings related to feeding milestones. Qualitative interview data were considered in an iterative and cyclical fashion. Results Parental themes included differences in feeding for children with Down syndrome, limited guidance that was not always followed, feeding difficulties and related stress, and gross motor milestone acquisition related to feeding milestones. PCP themes included limited resources/training, providing similar recommendations for children with and without Down syndrome, and desire for training/resources. Conclusions Published guidelines on feeding progression for children with Down syndrome are needed, including considerations for determining when skill and interest converge to signal safe introduction of complementary foods.

Stakeholder participation in prioritizing sustainability issues at regional level using analytic hierarchy process (AHP) technique: A case study of Goa, India

This study involves stakeholders in prioritizing and ranking themes and sub-themes relevant to assess regional level sustainability. Three themes – social, economic and environment were identified as parent themes; to assess sustainability the key stakeholders identified 18 sub-themes to assess these three themes in detail. The key stakeholder groups of elected representatives (panchayats), government, industry and non-governmental organizations (NGOs)/academia, have been involved to assign weights to the themes and the sub-themes of the SDI, keeping the regional priorities in mind. Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), a decision-making technique has been used to prioritize and rank the various themes and sub-themes. Goa, one of the states of India, which has performed well on national level SDI developed as part of the earlier study (Kwatra et al., 2016), was taken as the case study to assess sustainability issues at regional level. It was found that all the stakeholder groups gave nearly equal importance to the three themes of sustainability – environment (38%), social (32%) and economic (30%), environmental theme was apparently given slightly higher weights. Among the sub-themes, livelihood received highest weight (11%), followed by waste management (8%), and environmental budget (8%). Issues like waste management, unemployment, forests and biodiversity, governance which are of local importance were given higher weights by the local stakeholders over the national level priority issues like climate change, air pollution, health and literacy etc. The study proposes and tests a methodology which can be applied at a regional scale to assess and prioritize key sustainability issues so that policy makers can take informed decisions.

Autism Spectrum Disorder on Twitter during COVID-19: Account Types, Self-Descriptions and Tweeting Themes

Social media can be used to share experiences of health-related conditions, such as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and to advertise support. Knowledge about how this occurs can inform those seeking to guide those with the condition. This article reports three related studies to investigate ASD on Twitter in the USA, derived from COVID-19 tweets between March 10 and June 30, 2020. Study 1: Twitter accounts mentioning ASD in author biographies were classified with content analysis by type, finding parents and people declaring ASD to be both common, with support, advocates and specialists also represented. Study 2: The biographies of these accounts were analysed using word association thematic analysis (WATA), finding a strong family relationships theme amongst the parent tweeters, for example. The results also suggested common identity aspects of people declaring ASD, including gaming and artistic interests. Study 3: COVID-19-related tweets from the same accounts were analysed using WATA, finding no ASD-specific themes for parents or people declaring ASD. The results suggest that ASD in the USA is represented for COVID-19 through parents, individuals declaring it, and supporters, but without raising concerns particular to the disorder.

Thematic expansion: A new strategy for theory development.

We developed and applied metasynthesis methods to expand previously reported thematic descriptions of parents' internal definition of "being a good parent to my seriously ill child" as part of a larger study to examine parenting of children with serious illness. Our systematic approach included: literature search, purposeful selection of grounded theories regarding parenting a seriously ill child, study summaries, mapping evidence of good parent themes onto structural elements of grounded theory, cross-study comparisons, and theoretical memoing to summarize analytic insights. Twenty-five grounded theory studies from 32 reviewed reports reflected multiple conditions (n=5), countries (n=10) and family members (n=386 families). We report a worked example of the processes used to extend the original good parent themes and detail our processes through one good parent theme. The methods we describe are a promising approach to extend thematic analysis findings and advance thematic expansions toward development of more formal theoretical syntheses.

The Parent Interaction Assessment, in Children with Autism, to Help the Short Therapeutic Counseling

The purpose of this study is to propose a method of complementary data unification obtained through both direct observation and themes in parents’ narratives about autism. Sixty children with autism were studied in indirect therapeutic consultation with parents. Methods used: review of a direct parent-child interaction observation, content analysis, and interpretive phenomenological analysis of the main themes that emerged in the process of interaction with mothers and fathers of autistic children. The independent variable are the themes that we output with a contrarian analysis are the behavioural aspects of the interaction. The results identified the main subjective themes for parents—aggression, rejection, future, isolation, hopelessness. In the control sheets stand out not calling the child by name, talking sharply to the child, hiding for him and on him, low emotional expression to the child and difficulties with the level of affection and symbiosis. In summary, we can say that the simultaneous reporting of objective facts from direct observation, combined with giving space and understanding the unconscious fantasies of the parent shared in the speech, is a method of improving the skills of brief therapeutic counselling techniques in the interaction of parents and children with autism.

Assessing the Impact of Online Advertising Towards Domestic Travel Intention: In the Face of COVID-19 Pandemic

Tourism is a collection of activities, services, and industries that deliver a travel experience comprising transportation, accommodation, food and beverage, entertainment, and other hospitality services provided for individuals or groups traveling away from home. Despite this, Online Advertising can be defined as deliberate messages placed on third-party websites available through internet access. This study aims to gain an insight into the impact of online advertising on domestic travelers’ travel intention towards domestic tourism. Even though previous studies emphasize advertising and the effect on tourism, those are providing outdated information. This overall study addresses the unexplored knowledge gap, which is investigating the domestic tourists and the effect of online advertising on the travel intention of domestic travelers. Mixed research approach conducted by involving 160 domestic travelers within the central province using a stratified sampling technique. Primary data was collected using both structured questions and semi-structured interviews. Descriptive statistics developed the profile, regression analysis assessed the impact of online advertising methods on domestic travelers’ travel intentions and the thematic analysis identified the perception of domestic travelers. Findings revealed a significant positive relationship between online advertising and the travel intention of domestic travelers and three parent themes were developed; (a) Development of tourism (b) Behavior towards information and (c) Effect of Advertising. Paper concluded highlighting the managerial implications and future scholarly areas.

“Everyone on the Same Team, All Working Together”: Implementing a Co-ordinated Multi-disciplinary Approach to Supporting Young People with Co-occurring Intellectual Disability and Mental Health Issues

ABSTRACT Introduction : Despite the high prevalence of mental health issues for young people with intellectual disability (ID), young people with ID can struggle to receive the mental health support they need. The aim of this study was to examine a new community-based, clinical mental health service for young people (12 −25 years) with co-occurring ID and mental illness, and to explore the outcomes for young people and experiences of families who received service from the new program. Methods : Two studies were conducted using qualitative and quantitative research methods. First, using the Health of the Nations Outcome Scales (HoNOS), a quantitative longitudinal study was conducted to measure any changes in young people’s behavioral and social issues, mental health, and levels of impairment, from the being accepted to the service till the completion of care (n = 23). A second study involved qualitative interviews with parents/carers who attended the service (n = 10) that were analyzed to look for emerging themes in parents’/carers’ experience of the service. Results : Results of study 1 indicated that young people’s behavioral issues and social problems decreased from the time of admission to their completion of carer. Further, results of Study 2 revealed that parents/carers considered the mental health and behavior of their child had improved from being in the program. Parents also valued the person-centered, multidisciplinary, co-ordinated approach of the service, and viewed the new program as an improvement on previous services they had experienced. Conclusions : This study provides preliminary support for the efficacy of the new program and suggests future specialist dual disability services may look to a family-focused, multidisciplinary approach that includes assessment, treatment, and management as an effective treatment model.

Changes in Care- A Systematic Scoping Review of Transitions for Children with Medical Complexities.

Background Children with medical complexity (CMC) and their parents are affected physically and mentally during transitions in care. Coordinated models of care show promise in improving health outcomes.Objective The purpose of this scoping review was to examine research related to CMC and their parents and transitions in care. The aim was 3-fold: (1) to examine the extent, range, and nature of research activity related to the impact of transitions on physical and mental health for CMC and their parents; (2) to summarize and disseminate research findings for key knowledge users; and (3) to identify research gaps in the existing literature to inform future studies.Methods Twenty-three sources were identified through database searches and five articles met the inclusion criteria of CMC (multi-organ involvement or technology-dependent) (or parents of CMC) transitioning from hospital to alternate levels of care where outcome measures were physical or mental health-related.Results Numerical analysis revealed substantial variation in methodological approaches and outcome measures. Content analysis revealed two themes for parents of CMC during this transition: (1) emotional distress, and (2) high expectations; and three themes for CMC: (1) improved health, (2) changes in emotion, and (3) disrupted relationships.Conclusion The findings from this scoping review reveal for parents, transitions in care are fraught with emotional distress and high expectations; and for CMC there are improvements in quality of life and emotional health post- hospital to home transitions when collaborative models of care are available. This review serves as an early attempt to summarize the literature and demonstrate a need for further research.

\u201cI\u2019m just a long history of people rejecting referrals\u201d experiences of young people who fell through the gap between child and adult mental health services

The paediatric-adult split in mental health care necessitates young people to make a transition between services when they reach the upper end of child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS). However, we know that this transition is often poor, and not all young people who require ongoing support are able to continue care in adult mental health services (AMHS). These young people are said to have fallen through the gap between services. This research aimed to explore the reasons why young people fall through the gap between CAMHS and AMHS, and what effect this has had on them and their families. Narrative interviews were conducted with 15 young people and 15 parents, representing 19 unique transition stories. Themes were identified collaboratively using thematic analysis. Reasons for falling through the gap were grouped into systemic problems and problems with the quality of care received. Effects of falling through the gap were grouped into separate themes for young people (feeling abandoned; struggling to manage without continued care; problems with medication) and parents (emotional impact of care ending; parents taking an active role in the young person’s care). To our knowledge, this is the first qualitative study that has focused only on the experiences of young people who have fallen through the gap between services. This research adds novel findings to existing literature regarding barriers to transition and the effects of discontinuity of care.

Parents' Perspectives on Communication and Shared Decision Making for Febrile Infants ≤60 Days Old.

Decisions about the management of febrile infants ≤60 days old may be well suited for shared decision making (SDM). Our objectives were to learn about parents' experiences with receiving and understanding information in the emergency department (ED) and their perspectives on SDM, including for decisions about lumbar puncture (LP). We conducted semistructured interviews with 23 parents of febrile infants ≤60 days old evaluated in the pediatric ED at an urban, academic medical center. Interviews assessed parents' experiences in the ED and their perspectives on communication and SDM. Two investigators coded the interview transcripts, refined codes, and identified themes using the constant comparative method. Parents' unmet need for information negatively impacted parents' understanding, stress, and trust in the physician. Themes for parents' perspectives on SDM included the following: (1) giving parents the opportunity to express their opinions and concerns builds confidence in the decision making process, (2) parents' preferences for participation in decision making vary considerably, and (3) different perceptions about risks influence parents' preferences about having their infant undergo an LP. Although some parents would defer decision making to the physician, they still wanted to be able to express their opinions. Other parents wanted to have the final say in decision making. Parents valued risks and benefits of having their child undergo an LP differently, which influenced their preferences. Physicians need to adequately inform parents to facilitate parents' understanding of information and gain their trust. Shared decision making may be warranted for decisions about whether to perform an LP, although parents' preferences for participating in decision making vary.

Parenting Under Pressure: A Mixed-Methods Investigation of the Impact of COVID-19 on Family Life

Background: ​Development and implementation of effective family-based psychosocial intervention and treatment strategies during COVID-19 will require a detailed understanding of how the virus has impacted the lives of parents, children, and families.Methods: ​Written reports on the life impacts of COVID-19 for parents (n=56) and their children (n=43), and a questionnaire assessing parent positive and negative affect, were collected between April and May 2020. An inductive approach was used to identify themes in parents’ and children’s written reports, followed by statistical analysis to explore associations between themes and changes in parent positive and negative affect pre- and post-writing.Findings: ​Parents and children reported both positive and negative psychosocial impacts of the virus, though parents expressed a greater diversity of positive themes than children. Common themes reported by parents included concerns about the impact of COVID-19 on their children (particularly their social development), health concerns for others (particularly elderly family members), and the stressful balancing act of parenting, assisting with children’s school work, and working from home. Many parents reported gratitude for what they had, and reflected on the upsides of the pandemic for family relationships and parent-child bonding. Parents who expressed gratitude in their writing also reported a decrease in negative affect pre- to post-writing. Common themes reported by children included yearning to return to school, pandemic-related fears and difficulties, and longing for social connection.Interpretation: ​Within a largely White middle-class population, both parents and children reported reduced wellbeing during the COVID-19 pandemic. Future research and policy should focus on identifying how to fulfill children’s social needs and lessen caregivers’ burdens during this time.Funding: ​NoneDeclaration of Interests: The authors declare no conflicts of interest.Ethics Approval Statement: The study protocol was approved by the Institutional Review Board at the University of California, Los Angeles.
