IntroductionThis study explores UK paediatric intensive care (PIC) trainees’ thoughts and feelings about high-profile end-of-life cases recently featured in the press and social media and the impact on their career intentions.MethodsSemi-structured interviews were conducted with nine PIC-GRID trainees (April to August 2021). Interview transcripts were analysed using thematic analysis.ResultsSix main themes were identified: (1) All participants wished to do what was best for the child, feeling conflicted if this meant disagreeing with parents. (2) Interviewees felt unprepared and expressed deep concern about the effect of high-profile cases on their future career; all had reconsidered their training in PIC due to concerns about future high-profile end-of-life disputes, despite this all were still in training. (3) Specific training on the ethical and legal nuances of such cases is required, alongside targeted communication skills. (4).All cases are unique. (5) All had purposefully minimised their social media presence. (6) Working in a supportive environment is crucial, underscoring the importance of clear and unified team communication.ConclusionUK PIC trainees feel unprepared and anxious about future high-profile cases. A parallel can be drawn to child protection improvements following significant educational investment after government reports into preventable child abuse deaths. Models for supporting trainees and establishing formal PIC training are required to improve trainees’ confidence and skills in managing high-profile cases. Further research with other professional groups, the families involved and other stakeholders would provide a more rounded picture.

“…Another potentially relevant analytic strategy is to try to distinguish between what a participant does and what he says he does. For example, the documentary method of interpretation (DMI; Philipps & Mrowczynski, 2019) is an analytic approach for uncovering what participants do and what drives their actions (implicit knowledge), which might differ from what they say they do (theoretical knowledge). This might be a useful approach for some Almost Too Incredible Stories; however, only if the problem with the story is a potential deviation between theoretical and implicit knowledge – not if it is told for other reasons or motivations (e.g., the participant’s misinterpretation of a situation, impression management, or for achieving recognition or sympathy).…”

The Ethical and Methodological Dilemma of Questioning the Truthfulness of a Participant’s Story: Using “Circulating Reference” to Enhance the Validity of Qualitative Research

The question of how to enhance validity in qualitative research has been thoroughly debated. In this debate, however, the truthfulness of participants’ stories is rarely questioned. But what do you do if you, while working within a critical realist perspective, come across a story that seems almost too incredible to be true? This dilemma of The Almost Too Incredible Story is ethical as well as methodological. In this article, I suggest that it is best handled by conceptualizing the process of qualitative inquiry in terms of Bruno Latour’s concept “circulating reference”. The dilemma is then addressed through a stepwise process starting with (1) analysing all material as if all were believed to be true; (2) retracing the role of the data you question through the study’s ladder of circulating reference; (3) retracing the role of the data in the researcher’s transformed understanding of the phenomenon; and (4) using the results of these steps to determine whether The Almost Too Incredible Story poses a genuine threat to the validity of the results. If the validity is threatened, the researcher may decide to (a) return to the participant to clarify; (b) trust and keep the story; (c) discard all the data from this participant from the analysis; or (d) discard only the data that does not align with other participants’ account. Through this systematic process, the researcher can determine the best course of action for keeping the research as truthful as possible while also honouring the participant’s contribution.

“…It is possible, in this phase of analysis, ask questions that could be referred also to the perception of colours, compared to others more traditionally used in airport design, to understand how users perceive copper and how they respond to oxidation states if showed by the material. "Unstructured" interviews -for their inherent qualitative aspects -could be the best way to achieve valuable data from the aesthetic and design perception perspective [23,24].…”

This contribution investigates research opportunities in the field of architecture and design management focusing on user health in high traffic spaces. The field of application is Airport Passenger Terminals. Looking at the COVID-19 pandemic and anticipating the possibility of events of the same magnitude, it is necessary to approach the problem of the safety in public spaces. Based on the State of the Art about antimicrobial material studies, Science of Architecture could propose innovative solutions that are compliant with health safety and prevention for high-use surfaces. These solutions will combine antimicrobial materials with a digital solution that could manage data about surfaces, allowing the maintenance team to valuate and optimize operations. After few hours the hygiene level of copper-based surfaces is higher than any other material. Copper-based furniture could be paired with sensors that send data to management software. Combining the use of scientifically demonstrated antibacterial surfaces with high-performance management tools could be the best option to achieve health safety and contribute to social sustainability. Airport terminals are the ideal high-traffic buildings to use as test model because they have all the characteristics that could be analysed concerning the safety and the perception of safety of architectural spaces by users.
