“…Finally incidents that respondents reported, or were interpreted, as related to ICB were selected for write-up. In order to assess the interpretation of the data (Vivar, 2007) participants were e-mailed a summary of the incidents and asked to respond if they felt a need to expand upon, or disagreed with, the analysis. All participants responded noting the incidents were an accurate fit, no expansions were provided.…”

This exploratory study was undertaken to learn more about how mature students perceive the career counselling process in a post-secondary institution. Through the use of critical incident technique this study examined how three mature students interpret their relationship between themselves and their counsellors. Significant factors identified as contributing to a positive interpersonal connective bond were considering the whole of the clients’ experience, integrating career and personal concerns, introducing assessment tools appropriately, and utilizing counsellor self-disclosure appropriately. This study highlights the importance of utilizing critical incident technique in career counselling, the importance of the working alliance for mature students, and identifies possible counselling applications to consider when working with this population.

“…An early pilot interview was conducted to test the interview method, evaluate Peter Rowe's interviewing skills, practice audiotaping, and determine the duration of the interview. 16,20 This interview was conducted with a PTO who had been deployed for only 30 days; it was not transcribed, and the data from it are not included in the study. The pilot interview was discussed with Christine Carpenter, and minor adjustments were made to the interview guide to encourage participants to respond as though they were talking to a civilian physiotherapist who was unfamiliar with the military.…”

Purpose: Military physiotherapists in the Canadian Forces meet the unique rehabilitation needs of military personnel. Recently, the physiotherapy officer role has evolved in response to the Canadian Forces' involvement in the combat theatre of operations of Afghanistan, and this has created new and unique challenges and demands. The purpose of this study was to describe the experiences and challenges of military physiotherapists deployed to Afghanistan. Methods: A qualitative research design guided by descriptive phenomenology involved recruitment of key informants and in-depth interviews as the data collection method. The interviews were transcribed verbatim and the data analyzed using a foundational thematic analysis approach. Strategies of peer review and member checking were incorporated into the study design. Results: Six military physiotherapists were interviewed. They described rewarding experiences that were stressful yet highly career-satisfying. Main challenges revolved around heavy workloads, an expanded scope of practice as sole-charge practitioners, and the consequences and criticality of their clinical decisions. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that enhanced pre-deployment training and the implementation of a stronger support network will improve the capabilities of military physiotherapists deployed to difficult theatres of operations. This type of systematic and comprehensive research is needed to assist the Canadian Forces in proactively preparing and supporting physiotherapists deployed on future missions.Key Words: Afghanistan; military medicine; stress, psychological; workload.
