“…For example in the Iranian context, critically ill are typically nursed in a 1:2 or 1:3 nurse-patient ratio and it is uncommon for intensive care nurses to make oxygen therapy management decisions, such as when to adjust the FiO 2 settings. By comparison, critically ill patients are nursed on a 1:1 nurse-patient ratio and the majority of intensive care nurses have a critical care qualification (14). Thus, while the findings of our study and the study by Eastwood et al (2013) provide encouraging bi-national practice data, their findings are likely to vary significantly from other international settings with differing levels of nursing expertise and critical care resource utilisation (9).…”

Intensive Care Clinicians’ Attitudes and Self-Reported Practice of Conservative Oxygen Therapy

et al. 2015

Background: Conservative oxygen therapy (COT) targets a SpO2 of 90 -92% using the lowest possible FiO2 for mechanically ventilated (MV) adult patients. Conservative oxygen therapy aims to maintain adequate oxygenation while avoiding the harmful effects of hyperoxaemia. However, a lower SpO2 target during MV is recognised as challenging in current clinical norms. Objectives: We sought to describe intensive care clinicians' opinion and self-reported practice of conservative oxygen therapy. Methods: The research tool was a multi-choice questionnaire of intensive care clinicians working at 10 affiliated metropolitan tertiary hospitals from January-April, 2014. Results: Four hundred and twelve (84%) staff members responded to the survey. Of these, 91% (375) were intensive care nurses and 9% (37) were medical doctors. A majority of respondents (86%, 356/412) considered oxygen-related lung injury as "Yes, a major concern". Most respondents, 85% (351/412), felt COT was easy to perform and a few respondents, 6% (23/412), considered performing COT to be stressful. More than 90% of the respondents reported not performing more arterial blood gases to monitor PaO2 during COT and essentially all (98%) indicated a desire to perform COT. Free text comments indicated COT as a challenge to current practice and expressed a strong desire to avoid inadvertent hypoxaemia. Conclusions: Intensive care clinicians varied in their opinion and self-reported practice of conservative oxygen therapy and were genuinely concerned about unintended physiological consequences related to targeting low SpO2 values. We recommend conservative oxygen therapy to be implemented cautiously in conjunction with further evaluation of its impact on outcomes for patients and the perceptions of clinicians.

“…Furthermore, the rationale for using content analysis is that it can be used in almost all kinds of written texts irrespective of the material's source. There is flexibility associated with the usage of this method (Berg, 2001 ; Burnard, 1991 ), mainly, in-depth interviews (Wann-Hansson et al, 2005 ), focus group (Golsäter et al, 2011 ), open-ended questions (Donath et al, 2011 ), observations of situations (East- wood et al, 2011 ). The crucial aspect is the intelligent choice of the data collection method has a deep impact on the analysis's depth (Bengtsson, 2016 ).…”

COVID-19 had a devastating and profound impact worldwide. The business world has been turbulent, and countries' economic landscape has shown dismal performance. There have been massive downsizing of employees and deductions of pay in most organisations as the pandemic outbreak negatively impacted the business environment. The study aimed to analyse the impact of COVID-19 on the psychology of employees working in private organisations. A qualitative analysis was conducted with 22 middle-level Indian employees employed in private sector organisations. Content analysis was performed from the transcripts and themes; coding categories were developed. Participation in the study was voluntary and was carried out through informed consent. The results demonstrated that the participants experienced psychological stress, social disconnectedness, and a sense of loneliness over the lockdown period. Furthermore, the semi-structured interviews also revealed the perceptions of the job, career prospects, and the fear of the imminent looming future ahead. The pandemic has raised serious questions on the employee’s mental health and engagement issues. Managerial implications have been discussed with suggestions to alleviate the current professional and psychological challenges.

“…Regarding the application of qualitative content analysis, the first step comprised data collection. In this research, the approaches of participatory observation (Eastwood et al, 2011) and deep interview method (Wann Hansson et al, 2005) were used to collect raw data. The three sites with the largest number of people gathering during the 4 days of the festival were selected by the researchers as sites for data collection.…”

Tourists’ power perception at an ethnic festival: A qualitative approach

The aim of this article is to explore tourists' power perception and its influence on tourists' feedback at an ethnic festival. Based on a combination of sociology's mutual gaze theory and psychology's power theory, a case study and a qualitative research method are employed to conduct the study. Results indicate that the hosts dominate relations with tourists during the process of mutual gaze; additionally, the powerlessness felt by tourists and the unsatisfactory feedback obtained from them are partly attributed to the hosts' arrangements and control. In management inspiration, hosts should place more emphasis on improving tourists' sense of power to develop event tourism sustainably.
