“…Dependability is achieved through complete reporting of methodological steps. Data collection decisions and emerging design‐induced shifts must be understandable and well documented (Rodwell & Byers, 1997). Each of us read and reread passages and quotations aloud to find agreement among group members.…”

The study reported here analyzed daily diary entries of unpartnered elders after myocardial infarction (MI) to gain perspective into their recovery. A total of 33 diaries were included as part of the qualitative analysis of the larger study referred to above. Diary content was evaluated through qualitative descriptive analysis. Six categories--activities of daily living, exercise practices, social support, symptom reporting, healthcare activities, and health-related expenses--were identified from the diaries. Results suggest that recovering, unpartnered MI elders have a need to return to a familiar lifestyle. Moreover, a few differences and similarities based on gender were found. In the rehabilitation setting, nurses should recognize the need for elders to return to normal activities, the importance of social support, the acknowledgement of gender differences, and the potential cost burden for these patients. Diaries were a valuable tool with which to uncover information about the recovery trajectory of unpartnered elders after MI.

“…This evaluation proceeded from the suggestion that methodological rigour encompasses two primary criteria, trustworthiness and authenticity. The second is considered unique to the constructivist perspective and entails an emphasis on the process rather than the product of research (Rodwell & Byers, 1997).…”

Institutional and psychological aspects of transition were explored with parents and staff involved with five young adults with severe intellectual disability whose challenging behaviour diminished after they made the transition, and five whose challenging behaviour remained high. They were selected from a previously surveyed cohort. Grounded theory analysis of interviews suggested little connection between the perspectives of parents and staff. The impact these differences have on communication about challenging behaviour was explored, and recommendations for service changes are made.

Background: Smoking rates for people with severe mental illness have remained high despite significant declines in smoking rates in the general population, particularly for residents of community supported residential facilities (SRFs) where smoking has been largely neglected and institutionalized. Methods: Two studies undertaken 10 years apart (2000 and 2010) with SRFs in Adelaide, Australia looked at historical trends to determine whether any progress has been made to address smoking for this population. The first study was ethnographic and involved narrative description and analysis of the social milieu of smoking following multiple observations of smoking behaviours in two SRFs. The second study involved an eight-week smoking cessation group program providing tailored support and free nicotine replacement therapy to residents across six SRFs. Changes in smoking behaviours were measured using pre and post surveys with residents, with outcomes verified by also seeking SRF staff and smoking cessation group facilitator qualitative feedback and reflection on their observations of residents and the setting. Results: The culture of smoking in mental health SRFs is a complex part of the social milieu of these settings. There appears to have been little change in smoking behaviours of residents and attitudes and support responses by staff of SRFs since 2000 despite smoking rates declining in the general community. Tailored smoking cessation group programs for this population were well received and did help SRF residents to quit or cut down their smoking. They did challenge staff negative attitudes to residents’ capacity to smoke less or quit. Conclusions: A more systematic approach that addresses SRF regulations, smoke-free policies, staff attitudes and training, and consistent smoking cessation support to residents is needed.
