Purpose The aim of the study was to explore and describe the lived experiences of HIV-positive adults on antiretroviral therapy (ART) initiation in West Shoa Zone, Ethiopia. Materials and Methods A descriptive phenomenological design was utilized in the study to gain insight into participants’ lived experiences regarding ART initiation in West Shoa Zone, Ethiopia. Data were collected through semi-structured in-depth interviews and analyzed by means of thematic analysis. Results The study found that spousal influence, denial of status, inconsistent ART initiation protocol, poverty, fear of side effects, religion and shortages of staff were factors that caused delayed ART initiation. A low CD4 count, the development of opportunistic infections and the prevention of future illness were factors that promoted ART initiation. Conclusion This study provides an overview of experiences of adults living with HIV regarding ART initiation. The study emphasizes the need to improve adequate provision of resources to address issues related to finance, human capital, guidelines and inequity to enhance early ART initiation among HIV-positive adults in West Shoa Zone. The study findings have implications for policy implementation, ART service delivery, and the enhancement of prompt ART initiation in the study settings.

“…Qualitative approaches have been widely and successfully used in marketing science, and are in general particularly suited to explore relatively new areas of interest and conceptual models. Numerous authors [65][66][67][68][69] consider that a qualitative approach including case studies is the optimal way to acquire new knowledge, as it allows for the creation of theoretical models derived from business practice (bottom-up approach). Inter alia, qualitative approaches enable a more detailed investigation and exploration of the studied phenomena, including specific data relevant to a particular industry or even individual company.…”

The socioeconomic sphere and the relationships in which commitment occurs are important elements in the development of sustainable services. The study reported in this article identifies the elements that influence the development of the relationship between service providers and their customers and proposes a model that describes the state of the relationship between service providers and customers in terms of symmetrical commitment of both parties. Qualitative research including interviews with experts and case studies was completed, resulting in a ‘ladder of commitment’ model that identifies distinct commitment levels and specific commitment factors functioning at each of those levels. In practice, the proposed model makes it possible to assess the state of customer and provider commitment, identifying commitment deficits on the part of the customer or service provider. This article can provide practical added value for managers who are looking for ways to analyze customer commitment in order to develop sustainable services.
