“…In Study III and IV a qualitative longitudinal research approach was conducted (McCoy, 2017;Murray et al, 2009;Thomson & Holland, 2003) in order to explore and describe the embodied nature of acceptance and to bring out variations in the participants' lived experience and discover changes over time. The interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) method was chosen for data collection and data analysis because it would be able to capture these aspects IPA has a case study approach.…”

Healthcare professionals should be aware that individuals with long-term pain conceptualize and hold different meanings of acceptance when starting rehabilitation; this should be considered and addressed in rehabilitation programmes. The meaning given to acceptance is related to the experience of the lived body and the sense of self, as well as to getting legitimization/acceptance by others; therefore these aspects need to be considered during rehabilitation. The process of achieving acceptance seems to embrace different processes which can be understood as, and facilitated by, an embodied learning process. The bodily existential challenges presented in the present study, for example to develop an integrated and cooperative relationship with the painful body, can inspire health professionals to develop interventions and communication strategies focusing on the lived body. A wide range of competencies in rehabilitation clinics seems to be needed.

Understanding how individuals with sexual convictions experience prison and its environment is important because such experiences can affect rehabilitation outcomes. This is the first qualitative longitudinal investigation that explores the experiences of prisoners in a prison exclusively for individuals with sexual convictions over time. The purpose of this research was to explore the rehabilitative and therapeutic climate of a recently re-rolled prison (a general prison turned into a prison only for individuals who have sexually offended) at two time points (T1 at re-roll and T2 a year later). The study focuses on prisoners’ perspectives of the purpose of the prison, experience of prison life, relationships in the prison, and the prison regime over time. Twenty interviews were conducted across the time points and revealed two main superordinate themes: “‘Being’ in a prison for individuals with sexual convictions” and “obstructions to change.” This research adds to the emerging body of knowledge surrounding the importance of the wider prison environment on the rehabilitation of individuals with sexual convictions and on the benefits and risks of co-locating men who have committed sexual offenses in the same prison site. It also has implications wider than rehabilitation of those convicted of sexual offenses and has insights for the types of environment and prisoner–staff relationships that are conducive to rehabilitation.

“…assumes change is multi-faceted and holistic where continuity, patterns, idiosyncrasies, and contexts are key components (Pettigrew, 1990). The second assumption in LQR centers on the human experience being a construct of the participants' personal reflections and the researchers understanding of them, allowing multiple realities to exist simultaneously (Balmer & Richards, 2017;McCoy, 2017). Furthermore, the construction of these experiences relies on the notion that participants are willing and able to articulate their experiences in a way that can be understood by the researcher (Baillie et al, 2000).…”

Longitudinal qualitative research (LQR) is an emerging methodology in health behavior and nursing research. Researchers are turning to LQR to understand experiences across time as well as identify facilitators and inhibitors of health/illness behaviors and transitions. Currently, a lack of information exists to guide researchers on LQR techniques and considerations. Our objective was to provide a methodological resource for health behavior and nursing researchers conducting LQR. LQR may be applied to understand any human experience, as well as the sequalae of the experience and is well suited for studying transitions and developmental or behavioral changes. Conducting LQR is resource intensive and requires flexibility and complex analyses. We discuss multiple components of LQR such as design considerations, analysis options, and our lessons learned. Despite complexities, LQR provides the opportunity to understand experiences across time within an individual and among a group resulting in holistic, in-depth understandings beyond a cross-sectional time point.
