The extraordinary and tragic conditions that humanity has not experienced before in the modern period have become ordinary, namely, a “new normal” with the presence of the COVID-19 pandemic. COVID-19 has had frightening consequences for human health and has caused one million deaths as of September 2020. On the other hand, it has set a new standard of good habits, approaches, and benefits. Due to its global and long-term impact, this unique virus has laid the groundwork for unprecedented helping and sharing behaviors between people and countries. In this study, findings are compiled from the open-ended responses of 626 individuals, all of whom live in Turkey. Within the study’s scope, individuals were asked about the unique advantages and disadvantages of the restrictions imposed under COVID-19. While the categories of economy, social distance, and health came to the fore among the harms, the strengthening of family ties, adoption of technology, and the spread of solidarity culture were mentioned among the advantages.

Patients Experience

This qualitative study aimed to explore home haemodialysis and in-centre haemodialysis patients’ experience, to illuminate barriers and facilitators in the uptake and maintenance of home haemodialysis. Thirty-two semi-structured interviews with patients receiving home haemodialysis or in-centre haemodialysis were analysed using framework analysis. Four themes emerged: ‘perceptions of self’; ‘impact of haemodialysis on family’; ‘perceived advantages and disadvantages of home haemodialysis and in-centre haemodialysis’ and ‘practical issues and negotiating haemodialysis’. The lived experience of home haemodialysis was in contrast to the lived experience of in-centre haemodialysis and to the anticipated experience of home haemodialysis, highlighting patient factors that contributed to under-usage of home haemodialysis.

This paper outlines a qualitative study of 10 in-service teachers in Japan who use a task-based language teaching (TBLT) approach in their language classrooms. The study investigates the reasons why these teachers began using TBLT, their beliefs about the advantages and disadvantages of implementing TBLT, and whether or not they agree with common criticisms levelled at TBLT for use in foreign language classrooms in Japan and Asia in general. Critics argue that TBLT is not suitable for many language learning situations, explaining that students are used to more ‘traditional’ teacher-centered language classes and that they prefer more ‘passive’ approaches. Such criticisms also hold that TBLT is not able to adequately prepare students for the high-stakes tests that are used for secondary school and university entrance purposes. The results from interviews with these 10 teachers suggest that they reject many of these criticisms, and are in fact successfully using TBLT to develop both language ability and motivation in their students. At the same time, the teachers noted that there may be a need to use a ‘weaker’ form of TBLT with beginner students, or with those used to more passive styles of learning. They also highlighted the importance of heavily scaffolding tasks in such cases. Finally, a number of the teachers discussed the need for the development of more TBLT related materials, both for students and teachers.

Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is a complex and heterogeneous disease that has a major impact on the lives of patients and their family caregivers. The duodopa pump is one of the treatments options for advanced PD. The experience of patients with this treatment is largely unexplored, however. This study is based on the experiences of patients with PD as well as their family caregivers using the pump. We take a multimodal approach that includes narrative semi-structured interviews and drawings. This methodology helps participants, particularly those with difficulty articulating themselves, express their experience with the disease and their perception of the treatment. We believe that the use of drawings complementing semi-structured interviews offers additional insights into the participants’ perception of PD and the pump. In this article we focus on the following topics: the participants’ perception of PD and the pump, the reasons for choosing the pump over alternatives, and the advantages and disadvantages of this treatment for patients and family caregivers. Our findings show that the participants consider PD as a complex and unpredictable disease that changed their lives and affect everyone differently, while the pump makes the disease less changeable and more manageable.

BACKGROUND Worldwide, the use of e-consultations in healthcare is progressing fast. So far, studies on the advantages and disadvantages of e-consultations in the form of chat services for all enquiries in primary care have focused on the perspective of the healthcare professionals rather than the end-users (patients). OBJECTIVE To explore patients´ experiences of using a chat- and automated medical history-taking service in Swedish regular tax-based not-for-profit primary care. METHODS In this qualitative study, 25 individual interviews were conducted with patients in the catchment areas of five primary care centres (PCCs) in Sweden that tested a chat- and automated medical history-taking service for all kinds of patient enquiries. The semi-structured interviews were transcribed verbatim prior to content analysis, using inductive and deductive strategies, the latter including an unconstrained matrix of Human, Organisation and Technology (HOT) perspectives. RESULTS The service provided an easily managed way for patients to make written contact, which was considered beneficial for some patients and issues, but less suitable for others (like acute or more complex cases). The automated medical history-taking service was perceived as having potential, but still derived from what healthcare professionals need to know and how they address and communicate health and healthcare issues. Technical skills were not considered as necessary for a mobile phone chat as for handling a computer, for example, but patients still expressed concern for people with less digital literacy. The opportunity for patients to take their time and reflect before answering questions from the healthcare professionals was found to be stress reducing and error preventing, and patients speculated that it might be the same for the healthcare professionals on the other end of the system. Patients appreciated the ability to have a conversation from almost anywhere, even from places not suitable for telephone calls. The asynchronicity of the chat service let the patients take more control of the conversation and initiate a chat at any time at their own convenience, but it could also lead to lengthy conversations where a single issue in the worst cases could take days to close. The opportunity to upload photographs made some visits to the PCC redundant which would otherwise have been necessary if a telephone service had been used, saving patients both time and money. CONCLUSIONS Patients generally had a positive attitude towards e-consultations in primary care and were generally pleased with the prospects of the digital tool tested, somewhat more with the actual chat than with the automated history-taking system preceding the chat. While patients expect their PCC to offer a range of different means of communication, the HOT analysis revealed a need for a more extensive (end) user-experience design in the further development of the PCC chat service.

ObjectivesTo explore the views of intermittent catheter (IC) users regarding the advantages and disadvantages of single-use or reuse of catheters.DesignQualitative study with semi-structured interviews. The interviews were recorded, transcribed and analysed thematically.SettingParticipant’s own homes in Hampshire and Dorset, UK.ParticipantsA convenience sample of 39 IC users, aged 23–86 years, using IC for at least 3 months.ResultsThe analysis revealed four main themes: concerns regarding risk of urinary tract infection (UTI); cleaning, preparation and storage; social responsibility; practicalities and location. The main concern was safety, with the fear that reuse could increase risk of UTI compared with single-use sterile catheters. If shown to be safe then around half of participants thought they might consider reusing catheters. The practicalities of cleaning methods (extra products, time and storage) were considered potentially burdensome for reuse; but for single-use, ease of use and instant usability were advantages. Always having a catheter without fear of ‘running out’ was considered an advantage of reuse. Some participants were concerned about environmental impact (waste) and cost of single-use catheters. The potential for reuse was usually dependent on location. The analysis showed that often the disadvantages of single-use could be off-set by the advantages of reuse and vice versa, for example, the need to take many single-use catheters on holiday could be addressed by reuse, while the burden of cleaning would be obviated by single-use.ConclusionsIf shown to be safe with a practical cleaning method, some participants would find reuse an acceptable option, alongside their current single-use method. The choice to use a mixture of single-use and reuse of catheters for different activities (at home, work or holiday) could optimise the perceived advantages and disadvantages of both. The safety and acceptability of such an approach would require testing in a clinical trial.
