“…Although this study is based on retrospective data, the interviews were conducted several times throughout one therapy to minimize memory bias. Nevertheless, it could be argued that describing therapists’ interpretations of their personal and professional development left space for constructive memory processes (Neusar, 2014). Still, this study explicitly focused on the personal interpretations to gain more detailed information on the therapists’ perspective instead of finding out how the integration process objectively unfolded.…”

Integration of different psychotherapeutic approaches and interventions has become a crucial aspect in psychotherapy practice. Although different conceptual models exist, the experiences of integrative therapists are often ignored. The aim of the present study is to reach a better understanding of therapists’ experiences and challenges while integrating new therapy elements. Twenty-six relatively inexperienced therapists took part in the interview study, which was embedded in a randomized control trial. The goal was to carry out 3 psychotherapies while integrating either components of Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) or Self-Regulation (SR) into their treatment as usual. Therapists were interviewed during 3 different time points throughout their therapies. In total, 97 interviews were transcribed and analyzed using MAXQDA 12.3 following Mayring’s (2000) qualitative content analysis. Results indicate that therapists implicitly followed heuristics to assimilate new therapy elements into their originally trained approach. With the integration of therapy elements from conceptually more foreign therapy orientations (i.e., EFT), therapists seemed to experience a slightly higher challenge, but at the same time, perceived it as a chance to enrich their practice with the result of a more individualized, responsive practice. 62% of all therapists reported a thorough change in their therapeutic style. The results suggest that assimilative integration is a complex, multidimensional process guided by various principles regarding the fit of the new therapy elements to patients and therapist characteristics in a responsive manner considering the therapeutic alliance. The findings stress the importance of therapists’ relational flexibility.

“…Qualitative and mixed method approaches are less popular. This is because the qualitative approach is considered less objective and often biased so that sometimes it cannot be used to generalize a phenomenon (65). In a qualitative approach to collecting data is usually taken from a homogeneous sample through interviews (63).…”

The COVID-19 pandemic occurs worldwide and is the second pandemic to be declared as a global pandemic after the avian influenza pandemic. Individual and household coping strategies are essential when dealing with such a crisis. This systematic literature review synthesizes published evidence on coping mechanisms and food security in pandemic situations and looks at future research directions based on the gaps found. The number of publications on coping strategies and food security has increased over time, especially during the Covid 19 pandemic. This topic interestresearcher and academics from various countries and disciplines. Data analysis was carried out using the endnote X9 version following the preferred reporting items for systematic review and meta-analysis (PRISMA). The data was collected from the Proquest, Ebscohost, and Scopus databases. This review’s result is that most publications are in the 2019-2022 timeframe, area of health sciences, quantitative methods, empirical data, and individual case studies. The following review is an analysis based on the research context divided based on sub-criteria: pandemic impact, the main outcome, geographic location, economic development, and basic theory. The findings show that the impact of the pandemic that has been widely studied is about environmental quality and socioeconomic impact; no mention of theory; food security; in Asia; high-income and low-income countries; with the aim of policy development. The next review analyzes the main outcomes of food security and coping strategies. Based on this review, the most studied dimension of food security is accessibility using the HFIAS instrument and cross-sectional survey research design. Furthermore, there are fewpublications on utility and stability dimensions, especially the relationship between the four dimensions of food security, availability, accessibility, utility, and stability, qualitatively and quantitatively. In addition, publications regarding the relationship between food security from its four dimensions and coping strategies both qualitatively and quantitatively are also very limited. These findings create opportunities for future researchers to study them.

“…The other data collection instruments that we used are semi-structured interviews, review of organizational documentation, and observations. Qualitative researchers frequently use interviews as a primary source of data because it is a natural approach to the inquiry and serve as one of the most important sources of evidence in a case study [17,23,24]. We interviewed participants by using a semistructured interview protocol with open-ended questions (see Appendix A).…”

The purpose of this multiple case study was to explore strategies that managers of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) use to effectively integrate knowledge management (KM) into business practices. The study population comprised of five managers from two SMEs operating in Uganda. The eligibility criteria were that participants had to be managers from Ugandan SMEs with a knowledge-intensive environment, with some responsibility of KM in the organization, and experienced with at least 1 year of successful KM practices. The conceptual framework for this study was theory z. Data were collected through face-to-face, semi-structured interviews, and reviews of company documents. Member checking was completed to strengthen credibility and trustworthiness. Synthesis: After methodological triangulation of the data sources collected and completion of Yin’s 5-step process of data analysis, five themes emerged: having supportive leadership, ensuring sustainability, embedding KM practices in the organization culture, socialization, and embracing modern technology. The findings of this study might promote social change by supporting small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) managers’ use of KM to expand opportunities for employees to learn new skills and knowledge leading to the expansion of employment opportunities.
