“…Grounded theory was originated by Glaser andStrauss in the late 1960s (1967). Both shared the interest in studying social psychological processes within social settings or a particular experience such as having chronic illness (Charmaz, 2006).…”

“…In concordance with the reformulated version of grounded theory by Charmaz (2006), the present study builds on the assumption that data provide an interpretative portrayal of the studied world and the analytical categories are constructed through the researcher's perspectives, pre-understanding and interaction with the participants. The grounded theory method was chosen because of its emphasis on processes, indicating changes in experiences and behavioral responses and because the study of action is a central focus of the method (Glaser & Strauss, 1967;Morse, 2001;Charmaz, 2006). The inductive method aims to generate analytic categories that culminate in a theoretical framework, grounded in empiric data.…”

Although fatigue is a prevalent and distressing symptom in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF), it is an underestimated problem in the care of patients, and consequently, insuffi ciently investigated. The primary aim of this thesis was, therefore, to advance the knowledge from the patients' perspective by describing characteristics of the fatigue experience and its consequences in daily life in patients with CHF. A secondary aim was to investigate the relationships between fatigue and selected physiological and psychological factors associated with fatigue. Both quantitative and qualitative methods have been used and three samples of patients have been interviewed on different occasions. In two of the quantitative studies 93 patients, and in another study 112 patients, consecutively included, were interviewed at the hospital. Fifteen patients were included in the qualitative study. These 15 participants were enrolled when they visited an outpatient clinic and most of them were interviewed in their homes. These interviews were supplemented with the content of an Internet discussion with persons living with CHF.The results of the studies indicated that fatigue embraces the individual's body, emotions and cognitive abilities, forcing the person to physical restrictions that, in turn, perpetuate emotional discomfort. However, the physical sensation of fatigue followed by functional limitations seemed to be the most prevalent and distressing experience in patients with CHF. The patients described fatigue as lacking strength, which was associated in connection with physical efforts and lacking energy, viewed as an annoying sensation after both mental and physical strain. Another dimension of fatigue was described as being sleepy, often with a rapid and unforeseen onset. Consequences of fatigue, such as refraining from daily chores, denying oneself opportunities for rejoice and social isolation, further exaggerated the experience of fatigue. Restorative activities that engaged, absorbed or distracted the patients counteracted these negative consequences. Depressed mood was related to those fatigue dimensions that compromised functional ability and motivation to start any activities, whereas anxiety was associated with cognitive impairment. Feelings of uncertainty were related to physical tiredness, possibly infl icted by limitations in performing activities. Symptom distress that was caused by a number of reported symptoms other than fatigue had a diminutive infl uence on fatigue and separate symptoms that were associated with fatigue were, with the exception of breathlessness, not the fi rst and most pressing symptom reported by the patients. Anemic patients reported more fatigue compared with non-anemic patients and functional status, according to the New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional classifi cation criteria, was associated with those fatigue dimensions that encompassed physical tiredness and reduced functioning.The fi ndings provide new insights on the characteristics of fatigue and its con...

“…4,5 This method arose out of the approach known as grounded theory, 6 although the method can be used in a range of other types of qualitative work, including ethnography and phenomenology (see the fi rst paper in this series 7 for defi nitions). Indeed, the process of thematic content analy sis is often very similar in all types of qualitative research, in that the process involves analysing transcripts, identify ing themes within those data and gath ering together examples of those themes from the text.…”

• Analysing and presenting qualitative data is one of the most confusing aspects of qualitative research.• This paper provides a pragmatic approach using a form of thematic content analysis. Approaches to presenting qualitative data are also discussed.• The process of qualitative data analysis is labour intensive and time consuming. Those who are unsure about this approach should seek appropriate advice. I N B R I E F PRACTICEThis paper provides a pragmatic approach to analysing qualitative data, using actual data from a qualitative dental public health study for demonstration purposes. The paper also critically explores how computers can be used to facilitate this process, the debate about the verification (validation) of qualitative analyses and how to write up and present qualitative research studies.

“…We then probed these hypotheses both in subsequent interviews and in further analysis of recordings and transcripts. We used techniques of grounded theory (Charmaz, 2006; Glaser & Strauss, 2017) to assist in the construction of higher-order codes and in the thematization of our data. Excerpts from the clinical interviews cited in this article are drawn from a large corpus of interview data.…”

Time-consciousness has long been a focus of research in phenomenology and phenomenological psychology. We advance and extend this tradition of research by focusing on the character of temporal experience under conditions of mania. Symptom scales and diagnostic criteria for mania are peppered with temporally inflected language: increased rate of speech, racing thoughts, flight-of-ideas, hyperactivity. But what is the underlying structure of temporal experience in manic episodes? We tackle this question using a strategically hybrid approach. We recover and reconstruct three hypotheses regarding manic temporality that were advanced and modeled by two pioneers of clinical phenomenology: Eugène Minkowski (1885–1972) and Ludwig Binswanger (1881–1966). We then test, critique, and refine these hypotheses using heterophenomenological methods in an interview-based study of persons with a history of bipolar and a current diagnosis of acute mania. Our conclusions support a central hypothesis due to Minkowski and Binswanger, namely, that disturbance in the formal structure of temporal experience is a core feature of mania. We argue that a suitably refined variant of Binswanger’s model of disturbance in manic protention helps to explain a striking pattern of impaired insight and impaired reasoning in manic episodes.
