“…The interviews examined their participation in the group operations through two themes formed on the basis of observations: (a) group activities and (b) support provided by the group. As is typical in phenomenological‐hermeneutic inquiry, themes were examined dialogically, openly and conversationally (van Manen, ; Vagle, ). Plenty of open‐ended questions were asked of the informants, such as “what has stuck in your mind about the group meetings?” The interviews were conducted in places of mothers' choosing, such as in their homes, and ranged from 35 min to 2 hr 16 min.…”

“…In contrast, hermeneutics strives for an interpretation of the expression and objectification of experiences (Gadamer, ). Thus, hermeneutic phenomenology concentrates on interpretative descriptions of experiences (Laverty, ; van Manen, ; Vagle, ). In this study, a phenomenological‐hermeneutic approach was applied by listening to mothers' experiences in interviews, supplementing their interpretation with observations of group activity and capturing them by analysing multiple types of data.…”

Mothers' peer groups constitute a form of communal support that affords potential benefits but has received little attention in Finland. At present, only a few studies have investigated the support provided by peer groups of mothers. This article explores mothers' experiences of peer support in a Finnish peer group. First, the data gathered in 2015 comprise data from thematic interviews with 23 mothers participating in peer group activities. Second, the data include written notes gathered during participant observation in the group's 12 meetings, two outings and summer camp.The data were analysed by utilising a phenomenological-hermeneutic approach, and three themes representing mothers' experiences were identified: (a) sharing of experiences, (b) learning from experiences and (c) experiences of mutual caring. By exploring relationships among these themes, this study found that the sharing of experiences is a starting point for learning and caring among mothers. These findings suggest that the sharing of experiences is a crucial part of peer support because it results in learning and caring. Versatile support can be enabled by strengthening the preconditions for sharing. K E Y W O R D Smaternal welfare, mother-child relationship, mothers, peer group, peer support, self-help group

Knowledge of the experiences of health personnel can provide input for professional development at gynaecological departments. These findings contribute to discussions about what information should be given and whether the woman's feelings should be discussed in preparation for an abortion. The ability of health personnel to discuss subjects related to ethically challenging encounters with women who are considering abortions should be established, namely, professional education and workshops at the national level and small groups with counselling and case study discussions at hospitals.

“…Theoretically, this project brings together three overarching bodies of work: multiliteracies (New London Group, 1996), queer phenomenology (Ahmed, 2006;Vagle, 2014), and sound studies (Feld, 2012;Gershon, 2013;Schafer, 1994). With these more theoretical tools, my goal is to underscore sound's capacity as a modal resource for adolescent multimodal writing.…”
