“…Our approach in this study was phenomenological, in that it was based on participants' descriptions of their subjective experience rather than making any attempt at an objective description (Rapp, 2000;Van der Zalm & Bergum, 2000). Participants' ethical statements were often more implicit than explicit, and our approach was necessarily also hermeneutic; we acknowledged our interpretative activity in producing our accounts of the participants' reasoning (Nicholson, 1997;Smith, 1996).…”

Although the moral responsibilities of clinicians and researchers in the new genetics are exhaustively reflected upon, much less attention has been paid to the factors affecting the moral reasoning of non-professionals when they reflect on genetic issues. In this paper, we compare the moral evaluations of somatic gene therapy (SGT) made by some of its potential consumers (patients) and its providers (medical professionals). The results highlight significant differences between professional opinion and non-professional evaluations. Medical professionals shared a moral evaluation of SGT that (a) based its acceptability on a strong therapeutic imperative, (b) grounded this in an unproblematic separation of identity and disability/illness, and (c) generally did not see SGT as ethically different from other medical interventions. Prospective patients (a) often questioned the effectiveness of ''therapeutic'' interventions, (b) could derive a strong sense of identity from disability/illness, and (c) sometimes saw genetic interventions as changing a person's identity, either directly (through the genes) or indirectly (through altered life experience). We discuss the implications of these differences for the professional and public debate on the ethics of gene therapy. Our results highlight the need to take into account non-professionals' views of SGT. r

“…Based on this approach a rich description of the lived experience of people with intellectual disability explored whether (or not) and how they have formed intimate relationships through internet based social media (Van der Zalm & Bergum, 2000). Taking an IPA allowed the researcher flexibility in exploring the phenomena studied (Lincoln & Guba, 1985), namely the lived experience of people with intellectual disability and how they make meaning of accessing internet based social media and their intimate relationships with others, rather than explaining or generating a theory (Mackey, 2005;Van der Zalm & Bergum, 2000). The researcher gains an understanding of this phenomena from the participant's perspective (Collingridge & Gantt, 2008;Delaney, 2003), hence they are only interested in the experience and meaning held by the participants and how these meanings vary in order to challenge existing structural or normative assumptions (Lester, 1999).…”

People with intellectual disability often experience repression and control of their sexuality as they have historically been perceived as being childlike and asexual by members of society. Such acts can be seen to contravene their Human Rights under The Convention on the Rights of Person with Disabilities (CRPD), which endorses the rights of people with intellectual disability to fully express their sexuality.The purpose of this study was to explore if people with intellectual disability access internet based social media, and if so, if they use it to form relationships that express their sexuality. Using an interpretative phenomenological approach, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 30 adults with an intellectual disability (22 males, 8 females), aged between 20 to 66 years. Participants were purposely sampled though disability #organisations.Three themes emerged from the data: creating new friendships, maintaining existing friendships, exploring and expressing sexuality. People with intellectual disability used a variety of personal electronic devices to access internet based social media to be socially and sexually active. Facebook was accessed to make contact with existing platonic friends, peers and interest groups to meet socially. Sexually explicit material was viewed using the internet, either as an individual activity or by couples in monogamous relationships. This study adds to the paucity of research examining the use of internet based social media by people with intellectual disability for sexual expression. This research revealed the people with intellectual disability exercised cyber safe practices without any explicit formal education and conducted themselves in a respectful manner. Few participants acted in a manner that appeared to put them at risk of exploitation.

“…[16] The lived experience is thus described with the intent to understand what that experience meant to those who lived it rather than provide causal explanations of that experience. [16][17][18] Hermeneutic phenomenology was selected as a methodology for this study to provide for a deeper understanding of IENs' experiences in the acute care setting. Hermeneutic phenomenology as a methodology provides attention to the language and meaning of IENs' experiences.…”

Internationally educated nursing students’ experiences of integration in the hospital setting

In North America, internationally educated nurses (IEN) have played an essential role in addressing the nursing shortage as a result of immigration and increasing international recruitment. Given the importance of the IEN role in the delivery of patient care, it is vital that IENs who are involved in educational programs to prepare them for practice in North America are integrated as health care team members. The purpose of this paper is to explore internationally educated nursing students' experiences of integration in the acute care hospital setting. A qualitative design was used to explore nine IEN students' experiences of integration in the acute care practice setting. IEN students involved in a bridging educational program in nursing participated in individual interviews lasting 60-90 minutes. Interviews were transcribed verbatim. Researchers engaged in meaning making where initial categories were shaped into themes. Participants expressed having a dual identity as nurse and student, feeling like outsiders and experiencing discrimination in the practice setting, and IENs experienced challenges around discontinuity of relationships, language, and use of technology. IENs also discovered opportunities to learn and grow. To support the meaningful integration of IENs into clinical practice, it is crucial that the academic environment and practice partners ensure IEN students have positive and effective learning experiences where they feel part of the interprofessional team, and can ultimately deliver safe client care.
