“…This was a pre-post, qualitative study involving focus groups. Focus groups enhance researchers' ability to gain access to participants' attitudes, perceptions, and experiences (Williams & Katz, 2001;Krueger & Casey, 2002;Levers, 2006). Consistent with the study objective, grounded theory was used to explore and understand students' experiences.…”

Context: Pharmacy students need pracKcal clinical knowledge and skills to be able to provide effecKve pharmaceuKcal care aOer graduaKon. To achieve this, pharmacy students need an effecKve clinical clerkship programme. Aims: To assess final-year pharmacy students’ preparedness, expectaKons, and experiences of a hospital-based clinical pharmacy clerkship (CPC) programme. Methods: A pre-post, qualitaKve study involving focus groups was conducted in a Nigerian university. All final-year Bachelor of Pharmacy (B.Pharm.) students of the 2019 academic year (October 2018 to June 2019) who enrolled for the CPC course parKcipated in the study. Results: The prevailing themes idenKfied were: theme one (level of preparedness and hospital environment), theme two (integraKon of knowledge and applicaKon to paKent care), theme three (inter-professional relaKonships and professional idenKty), and theme four (challenges and recommendaKons). Conclusions: This study shows that B.Pharm. students exhibited a high level of preparedness and expectaKons prior to commencement of the CPC. They also had unsaKsfactory experiences during the CPC due to various challenges and unmet expectaKons mainly in terms of inter-professional relaKonships and the role of pharmacists in the healthcare team.

“…The first author started each focus group by reviewing each week's questions; however, questions served only as the vehicle for initiating discussion. Focus groups are most effective when participants can converse directly with each other (Levers, 2006). As such, participants were invited to respond to one another's experiences and perceptions rather than stay rooted in the research questions.…”

“…A semi-structured focus group approach was used to collect data. Focus groups are used in qualitative research to allow participants to explore how their culture influences their perceptions and experiences (Levers, 2006). Focus groups are a more practical means of qualitative data collection, and also allow for analysis of group interaction as participants interact and respond to each other (Kitzinger, 1995).…”

Puerto Rican fathers remain an understudied population despite the growing Latino community in the U.S. Understanding how Puerto Rican fathers perceive their roles as fathers can inform our conceptualization of their engagement with children as well as the development of culturally-specific parenting interventions. In this qualitative study, focus groups were conducted with Puerto Rican men to identify their perceptions of their role as a father and how individual, child, and cultural influences may relate to these roles. Parenting roles identified by fathers in the study were: being there, maintaining open communication, building confidence, preparing for adulthood, teaching culture/values, and providing a role model for their children. The study also explored father and child characteristics, history with their own father, and a hybrid cultural perspective as influences on Puerto Rican fathers’ perceptions of their parenting roles. Due to the increasing population of Puerto Rican and other Latino sub-groups, providers and social workers working with Puerto Rican families should understanding the perceived parenting roles within families to better engage and support fathers and families within this growing population.
