“…Credibility was increased through member checking to ensure that the findings were accurate and reflective of the patient's experiences (Harper & Cole, 2012). The second author also provided peer debriefing to the first author to provide an external review of the research process and to increase referential adequacy (Sarvimaki, 2018). Transferability refers to the applicability of information representative of a larger population (Roberts et al, 2019).…”

AimThis study aims to report patients' experiences of nursing care in the critical care unit and the resulting effect of such care on the personhood of patients.Design and MethodThe study adopted a qualitative design and aimed to include both descriptive and exploratory information. It involved a single participant group comprising ten previously critically ill patients with whom retrospective, semi‐structured interviews were conducted in a natural setting during 2018. Private hospitals in Gauteng, South Africa, were targeted for data collection.ResultsThe findings of this study were categorised and described according to Kitwood's conceptualisation of person‐centred care. Five categories were identified by patients as impacting their personhood and perceived person‐centred care.ConclusionNurses ability to support perceived personhood of patients during person‐centred care is integral to the betterment of the patient. Patient's experiences of nursing care can often be affected if they perceive their personhood as not being valued by nurses. This study creates increased awareness of these components to ensure that patient‐nurse relationships are established adequately to meet both the patients' and the nurses' needs.

“…This article is based on qualitative research approach involving systematic literature review as well as the exploration of emerging concepts and relationships that constitute a cultural phenomenon and social realities of the urban milieu in specific case studies (Royse, Dhooper, & Rompf, 2007;Sarvimaki, 2017). The electronic database was searched using relevant keywords such as "African culture," "traditional architecture," and "housing pattern in Africa."…”

Culture and tradition are essential components of the traditional architecture. However, in the era of globalization and modernization, traditional architecture is fast disappearing in most part of Africa due to neglect and lack of understanding of its importance. A reconsideration becomes necessary as traditional architecture can be a source of inspiration even in contemporary times. Through a systematic literature review, this article takes a critical look at how culture affects architecture in Africa with Nigeria as a case study. It explores various traditional architectural accomplishments across Africa revealing the disappearance of cultural identity and the weak connection between traditional and contemporary architecture. It then concludes with strategies toward survival and revival of indigenous African architecture with clear direction on architects’ key roles in persevering the Africans endangered culture.

Minimal clarification or additions were needed as participants agreed that the transcripts reflected their answers.…”

Purpose: Limited clinical and research evidence is available to support healthcare practitioners in the communication assessment and intervention of persons who are minimally conscious. This study placed a specific focus on the multimodal communication strategies familiar caregivers of persons who are minimally conscious observed, as well as the verbal and the nonverbal communication strategies they employed to build communication capacity. This may inform clinical practice as it provides valuable autobiographical information as well as familiar stimuli that may elicit responses from persons in a minimally conscious state. Method: A descriptive qualitative design employing in-depth semi-structured interviews with familiar caregivers was utilised to address the purpose of the study. Result: Familiar caregivers reported that they used both nonverbal and verbal communication strategies to obtain a response from persons who are minimally conscious. These caregivers also reported that these persons appeared to rely on nonverbal communication strategies to express 36 different communication functions. Conclusion: Based on the findings of this study, it is clear that caregivers can be beneficial to persons who are minimally conscious, if they are able to observe and capitalise on naturally occurring multimodal communication strategies and functions. This study emphasises that familiar caregivers respect and value the dignity of persons who are minimally conscious and want to improve their communication capacity, but often lack confidence in their own communication skills.
