“…When the purpose of research is to influence and promote change, it can be effective to touch the reader emotionally. 50 However, by going in depth into personal stories, we lose a broad perspective and, therefore, reduce the transferability of our findings. Another limitation was that the participants of our study retrospectively recalled their experiences, which is problematic given the fallibility of memory.…”

How Social Relationships Influence Substance Use Disorder Recovery: A Collaborative Narrative Study

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Individuals with a substance use disorder (SUD) often have fewer social support network resources than those without SUDs. This qualitative study examined the role of social relationships in achieving and maintaining stable recovery after many years of SUD. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 18 participants, each of whom had been diagnosed with a SUD and each of whom had been abstinent for at least 5 years. A resource group of peer consultants in long-term recovery from SUDs contributed to the study planning, preparation, and initial analyses. The relationship that most participants described as helpful for initiating abstinence was recognition by a peer or a caring relationship with a service provider or sibling. These findings suggest that, to reach and maintain abstinence, it is important to maintain positive relationships and to engage self-agency to protect oneself from the influences of negative relationships. Substance use disorder service providers should increase the extent to which they involve the social networks of clients when designing new treatment approaches. Service providers should also focus more on individualizing services to meet their clients on a personal level, without neglecting professionalism or treatment strategies.

“…If the intention of research is to influence and contribute to changes, it can be effective to touch the receivers emotionally. 49,50 Narratives which can contain emotional elements that unfold through diverse expressions, form the grounds for various interpretations among the recipients. As such, a narrative analysis seemed advantageous in this study.…”

Helpful Ingredients in the Treatment of Long-Term Substance Use Disorders: A Collaborative Narrative Study

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Relatively few individuals with a substance use disorder (SUD) seek or receive treatment, and knowledge about the effective ingredients in SUD treatment, from the perspective of those who receive it, is scarce. Our study purpose was to explore the experiences of those with long-term SUDs and the aspects they found helpful during treatment and long-term recovery. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 18 participants, each of whom had been diagnosed with a long-term SUD, and who had been abstinent for at least 5 years. A resource group of peer consultants in long-term recovery from SUDs contributed to study planning, preparation, and initial analyses. Participants preferred individualized, long-term treatment, and support from both therapists and other clients. They further acknowledged the importance of their own sense of responsibility for their treatment and recovery success. Greater focus should be placed on viewing long-term SUD as a long-term condition, similar to somatic diseases, and SUD treatment services should place greater emphasis on developing partnership care models, long-term monitoring and support, and actively engaging recovered clients in the care of others in SUD treatment.

“…Although many meta-analyses have proven that technology enhances learning (e.g., Means et al, 2010;Schmid et al, 2014) and several studies report that digital video can be an effective tool in education, (e.g., Moore and Smith, 2012;Kay, 2012;Lloyd and Robertson, 2012;Rackaway, 2012;Hsin and Cigas, 2013;Stockwell et al, 2015), educational institutions are struggling to take advantage of new technologies to transform current practice to meet the new expectations and needs of their learners (Grant, 2016).…”

Documentary-style educational video for online learners: student perceptions of an innovative approach to learning

Fasano

This doctoral research study examined how instructional videos that are created using documentary filmmaking conventions can impact the student's online learning experience. With an inductive qualitative approach, semi-structured interviews were conducted with seven experienced online learners who were currently enrolled in or alum of a graduate-level program at a private university in the northeastern United States. Based on the Cognitive Theory of Multimedia learning, four super-ordinant themes and eleven sub-themes surfaced in the data analysis that led to three major findings. First, graduate online learners can easily identify filmmaking conventions, remembering their specific educational objectives. Second, when educational videos are produced using documentary filmmaking conventions this positively impacts the student experience. Third, graduate students value high-quality educational videos that are customized for their online courses because they encourage engagement in their learning. These findings were contemplated within the context of the current literature regarding effective design practices of educational video and their impact on learner engagement and impact on the study experience.
