“…I apply thematic analysis (Braun & Clarke, 2006, 2012; Ciotti et al, 2022; Glaw et al, 2017; Vaismoradi et al, 2013) as a primary method to analyze multiple data sources (i.e., photos, social media posts, medical documents and records, medical expenses, and email) in this autoethnography. I used photo elicitation and autophotography which are commonly used techniques in ethnographic research (Glaw et al, 2017).…”

“…I utilize reflexivity (Doucet, 2018a, 2018b; Etherington, 2017; Finefter-Rosenbluh, 2017; Fook, 1999; Hemmings, 2012) and reflective journaling (Sealy, 2012) as methods in this autoethnography. I use memory as data, by writing a personal narrative (Ellis & Bochner, 2000), and systematically analyze multiple relevant data sources (i.e., photos, social media posts, medical documents and records, medical expenses, and email) using thematic analysis (Braun & Clarke, 2006, 2012; Ciotti et al, 2022; Glaw et al, 2017; Vaismoradi et al, 2013). These additional sources of data were included as a method of checking my memories and addressing potential concerns regarding academic value in my work.…”

“…My knowledge in this area is built upon my previous research where I utilized thematic analysis, content analysis, and critical content analysis (Ciotti et al, 2021, 2022; Ciotti & Moore, 2022; Moore & Ciotti, 2021). This insight has informed my approach to finding and identifying the key excerpts in my memories that clustered together (codes) to form the identification of parts of my story (themes) that became my story (the key results).…”

This autoethnographic research utilizes reflexivity as a method to explore my self-experience of Lyme disease while holding co-occurring identities as a researcher, health professional, and mother. Awareness of self is central in psychotherapy so that therapists do not adversely impact their clients. This is similar for researchers who are ethically required to acknowledge and reduce any potential risk(s) of harm to their participants. In this study, I describe and systematically analyze my experiences as a patient with symptom-persistent Lyme disease, contextualized through co-occurring identities as a mother, a regulated (mental) health professional, and a scholar investigating the embodied experience of being a Lyme disease patient in the Canadian context. The central research question guiding this study is: “What are my experiences with symptom-persistent Lyme disease?” The results of this study suggest reflexivity is an important practice in both health research and healthcare. Relationships with health professionals have a significant impact on patients’ healthcare experiences, and engaging in reflexive practice may improve the responsivity of healthcare professionals toward patients’ needs and embodied experiences and serve as a check on pre-existing power relations in healthcare. Further, this research contributes to the current academic knowledge on symptom-persistent Lyme disease by offering a reflexive representation of my experiences as a researcher who is also a health professional and a patient within the Canadian healthcare system. Representations of patients’ experiences are critical in advancing health research and ensuring equitable care for patients. Autoethnography offers important insights into patients’ disease experiences.

“…Even though evidence reported that children may not be potential COVID-19 spreaders [ 2 , 3 ], it may have been hard to make a decision about the school reopening because of the effects of the school reopening on disease spread [ 4 ], which depended on the prevalence of COVID-19 infection in each area [ 5 , 6 ], as well as its effects on stakeholders, including teachers, parents, and students [ 7 ]. Focusing on students during the pandemic, students were either a “risk to others” or “people at risk” [ 8 ]. As a “risk to others”, adolescents, unlike young children, had a more independent lifestyle and social life, including outside activities such as hanging out with peers, which may have resulted in a higher secondary-attack rate [ 9 ].…”

The transition from online to on-site education was difficult due to a lack of standardized school guidance for school reopening. Even though schools have reopened, uncertainty about the COVID-19 situation and the capacity of the school to maintain safe school operations to mitigate risks may increase hesitancy among students and parents to participate in on-site studying. Rapid-response surveys of students and parents can provide information to stakeholders on how learning and well-being can best be supported during the educational transition in each context. The aim of this study was to explore the hesitancy of high-school students and the factors that influenced their hesitancy to return to school on site. An online cross-sectional survey was distributed to high-school students in an urban district of Chiang Mai, Thailand, during the fourth wave of the pandemic from 17 November to 13 December 2021. A multivariable logistic regression was performed to explore factors related to the students’ hesitancy to attend on-site education. With a response rate of 10.2% of the targeted study population, the 1266 participants revealed that 15.9% of them had very-high- and extremely high-level hesitancy to study on site, which was associated with less negative moods while studying online (aOR, 1.69; p, 0.016) and a greater fear of infection after returning to school (aOR, 2.95; p, 0.001). Increased readiness to return to school on site (aOR, 0.28; p, 0.001) and discussing COVID-19 prevention with family or friends (aOR, 0.71; p, 0.016) were also associated with a lower hesitancy of students. Only 5.6% of the students reported being hesitant to receive the COVID-19 vaccination. However, no significant associations were found between schooling hesitancy and their willingness to get vaccinated, nor the frequency of students’ outside activities. High-school students who experience negative moods during online studying should be monitored and receive additional support if the reopening is postponed. More opportunities to discuss COVID-19 prevention with family or friends, as well as a higher level of readiness, may increase the willingness to return to school on site. Local authorities and schools need to strengthen communication and coordination mechanisms to reduce parents’ and students’ schooling hesitancy by providing explicit information about the COVID-19 situation and risk-mitigation measures, along with normalizing messages about fear and anxiety.

Zaključavanje „najboljeg interesa” djece – o statusu dječjih prava tijekom reagiranja na COVID-19

The constitution of the WHO as well as the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child both emphasise the unique position of children, the significance of healthy development and the obligation of public and private actors to always consider the best interest of the child. There is – at least in the case of Germany – no evidence that this obligation has been fulfilled in due manner during the COVID-19 reactions. On the other hand, there is clear evidence from different parts of the world that the closure of schools and all places of social encounter has deeply harmed the social, emotional and even intellectual development of many children. The children’s rights therefore have not been safeguarded during the corona-reaction-crisis. The article argues that this disregard of the position of children has its roots in public health’s utilitarian perspective on the health of peoples instead of individuals. In order to safeguard the rights of children in public health operations, the procedures already foreseen by the UN Convention and its implementing regulations to take into account the best interest of the child must be truly implemented in the future.
