Full textAbstract:
AbstractStudent mental health is a critical issue that institutions are struggling to tackle proactively. The wellbeing of students is largely invisible to institutions unless specific mental health conditions are diagnosed and disclosed. In comparison to the importance placed on academic aspects, the affective experiences of education throughout the study journeys of students are rarely acknowledged. Approaches for students to develop emotional awareness, through which they learn to understand and manage their emotions, are limited. In this article, we describe the design and evaluation of Our Journey, a platform for students to represent their study journeys through describing the events and emotions they experience. The conceptual and user experience design of the platform was derived from participatory activities with students and staff and has been further refined via several physical and online iterations. In this paper, we report findings from an exploratory pilot trial of Our Journey with 54 students studying for a range of qualifications at an online learning institution. Through an analysis of the journeys that the students produced and a post-trial survey, we found that Our Journey can support representations of emotional awareness in relation to study events which prompted students to reflect on important aspects of their study and personal development. The design and use of the platform have also prompted important considerations around how emotion is represented, as well as how the privacy and ownership of these representations of personal experiences can be managed to support students and institutions to potentially benefit from novel tools such as Our Journey.

Full textAbstract:
In the Western academic study of the Qur'an, very little has been written about emotion. The studies that do acknowledge the power of emotion tend to concentrate on emotion as a response to the text's aesthetics. And yet emotion is a central part of the Qur'an: fostering the correct emotions is a part of pietistic practice, emotion helps to convince believers to act as they should, and emotional words and incidents bring unity to this synoptic text. This article has four parts. It begins by reviewing approaches that have been taken in History and Biblical studies, in order to clarify the nature of emotions. I argue that emotions are universal but that they have socially constructed elements and a social function. Also, control of emotions can be as revealing as emotional expression. Part Two describes the overall message of emotions in the Qur'an. Humans must cultivate God-fearingness, while God bestows mercy/compassion and love, or anger and displeasure. Believers are distinguished by their emotional sensitivity to God's word, and their ability to form an emotional attachment to God, and thus emotional control is a key pietistic practice. In Part Three, I propose a new method for analysing emotion within Qur'anic suras, which is to trace emotional plots. This method involves identifying the emotional journey undertaken or described in a passage of text. Part Four examines the resonance that is created by the use of specific emotion words in different suras.

Full textAbstract:
The CoVid-19 pandemic has demanded society to social distance, which significantly affected not only people's routine but also and their mental health. The way each person is facing this period of confinement is shaped according to their principles, culture, health, and financial stability, thus leading individuals to react emotionally in different ways. Through Design, it is possible to map these experiences and represent them through User Journeys, allowing clear representations of how the experience took place when facing the fear of contagion, the sudden change of routine, and isolation. This study focuses on discussing the effectiveness of unifying different experiences in a single representation, mainly to outline emotional aspects. Trying to balance all emotional variations in a single User Journey prevents the researcher from seeing important details of the users' experience. In this study, the need to use individual User Journeys was evidenced when it is intended to analyse the emotional aspects of users when dealing with products or services, as individuality can shed light on aspects not observable in a consolidated analysis.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to identify and understand the emotions behind a passenger’s airport experience and how this can inform digital channel engagements. Design/methodology/approach This study investigates the emotional experience of 200 passengers’ journeys at an Australian domestic airport. A survey was conducted which implemented the use of Emocards and an interview approach of laddering. The responses were then analysed into attributes, consequences and values. Findings The results indicate that across key stages of the airport (parking, retail, gates and arrivals) passengers had different emotional experiences (positive, negative and neutral). The attributes, consequences and values behind these emotions were then used to propose digital channel content and purpose of various future digital channel engagements. Research limitations/implications By gaining emotional insights, airports are able to generate digital channel engagements, which align with passengers’ needs and values rather than internal operational motivations. Theoretical contributions include the development of the technology acceptance model to include emotional drivers as influences in the use of digital channels. Originality/value This paper provides a unique method to understand the passengers’ emotional journey across the airport infrastructure and suggest how to better design digital channel engagements to address passenger latent needs.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose The wider possibility of connectivity offers additional opportunities for customers to experience value propositions. The online world is only one side of the customer experience. The integration of digital technologies, social presence and physical elements increases the complexity of customer journey. This paper aims to map the phygital customer journey by focusing on millennials. Design/methodology/approach The study adopted a qualitative methodology to investigate 50 millennials from Italy. Millennials had to describe, in two phases, a journey they had recently made. First, they used sticky notes with no restrictions on expressing their feelings and structuring their CJ. Second, customers transferred the sticky notes’ contents, consider the information provided and map the journey with additional details using the Uxpressia software. Findings This paper frames the Millennials customer journey as a cycle of four moments: connect, explore, buy and use. Each moment enacts the customer experience as a mixture of emotional, behavioural and social responses. Online and offline interactions blur the boundaries between the physical and digital world (i.e. phygital): millennials move back-and-forth or jump from one action to another according to the evolving path of emotions and interactions. Originality/value The phygital customer journey provides an alternative understanding of customer journey occurring as a fuzzy process or loop. A phygital map develops as a circular path of moments seen as phenomenological microworlds of events, interactions, relationships and emotions.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Cancer is the second leading cause of death in America. Because the majority of cancer patients today survive at least 5 years, cancer can be reconceptualized as a chronic illness. A diagnosis of cancer and subsequent treatment brings physical, emotional, and cognitive changes and challenges. Psycho-oncology is a relatively recent discipline that assists patients in coping with these changes. This article examines the experience of the human being facing cancer, and the potential role for behavioral professionals and biofeedback practitioners in assisting the cancer patient. There are certain periods during the cancer journey that appear to be more challenging. Biofeedback can assist patients in coping with these challenges.

This reflection on writing is set in motion by an analogy between the images of a researcher at his desk and a man freefalling into space. I ruminate through my story of discovering autoethnography and consider how I had to negotiate my personal history, reluctant body, and sexual orientation in order to fully participate in the healing pilgrimage I chose to study. My encounter with the intensity of the gesture of suffering in a crucifix taught me about the emotional risk of this kind of work. Later, I learned how to immerse myself in the scene as I rewrote the narrative until I could finally realize in my life the humility of listening to my experience.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Chronic Inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy is a rare disorder of the peripheral nerves. A disease affecting up to 8.9 out of 100,000 people, and a yearly incidence of 1.6/100,000 people, CIDP is a condition that is treatable but still relatively unknown outside of the neuromuscular community. The purpose of this research, initiated by the GBS/CIDP Foundation, is to better understand a patient’s journey living with the disease and identify unmet needs. Methods: The research consists of a mix of structured interviews, digital ethnography and patient records. A total of 10 Canadian patients living with CIDP and their caregivers, 7 Canadian neurologists and 3 Canadian neuroscience nurses will be the subjects for our research. Results: In order to identify key interactions between patients and the healthcare system, the report will map a patient’s experience on 4 distinct planes. Clinical journey (ex: first symptoms, diagnosis, disease progression), Patient emotional journey (the emotional states the patient undergoes throughout his/her journey), Caregiver emotional journey, and Outcomes (ex: delays in care, damaged relationships, commitment to therapy). The report will identify key areas along the patient journey where more intervention is possible and where more research may be needed. Conclusions: The research is expected to be completed by April 2019.

Full textAbstract:
People experience emotions during travel. Driving, riding a bicycle, taking transit, and walking all involve multiple mental processes, potentially leading to various ranges of emotions such as fear, anger, sorrow, joy, and anticipation. Understanding the link between emotions and transportation environments is critical to planning efforts aiming to bring about a more environmentally sustainable society. In this paper, we identified, geo-coded, analyzed, and visualized emotions experienced by cycle–transit users, or CTUs, who combine bicycling and public transit in a single trip. We addressed two research questions: (1) What types of emotions do CTUs experience, why, and where? (2) How can mapping and understanding these emotions help urban planners comprehend CTU travel behavior and build a more sustainable transportation system? Based on 74 surveys completed by CTUs in Philadelphia, USA, we performed a content analysis of textual data and sketch maps, coded for emotional content, attached emotions with geo-referenced locations using GIS, and finally created four types of emotional maps. Overall, CTUs expressed 50 negative and 31 positive sentiments. Anger was the most frequently identified emotion, followed by disgust, fear, sadness, and joy. Twenty-five transportation planners reviewed the maps; the majority found that the maps could effectively convey an emotional account of a journey, opinions on routes and locations, or emotions attached to them. This paper advances theory and practice in two ways. First, the method privileges a heretofore little examined form of knowledge—the emotional experience of CTUs—and transportation planners confirm the value of this knowledge for practice. Second, it extends the study of emotional geographies to the transportation environment, pointing out venues for additional planning interventions. We conclude that mapping emotions reveals a more comprehensive understanding of travel experience that aids in better transportation planning and happier neighborhoods.

Emotions in the Context of Andrzej Stasiuk’s Literary Journeys to the East: Sadness, Fear, Nostalgia The aim of the article is to interpret Andrzej Stasiuk's literary journeys to the East from the perspective of the sociology of emotions. Motives of the journey, the names of feelings that Stasiuk uses in his journey to the East and the emotions he assigns to the Other, as well as the manner of their expression and contextualization were examined. The imagined and experienced East is presented in relation to sadness, fear and nostalgia, which fits in the context of experiencing communism and traveling to peripheral, non-touristic places. The findings motivate treating literature as a culturally significant source of data for exploring feeling rules and emotional regimes expressed by the author and characters. Celem artykułu jest interpretacja literackich podróży na Wschód Andrzeja Stasiuka z perspektywy socjologii emocji. Refleksji poddano motywy podróży, eksplorowano nazwy uczuć, których Stasiuk używa w podróży na Wschód i emocje, które przypisuje Innemu oraz sposób ich wyrażania i kontekstualizacji. Wyobrażony oraz doświadczany Wschód jest przedstawiany w odniesieniu do smutku, strachu i nostalgii, co wpisuje się w kontekst przeżywania komunizmu oraz podróży do miejsc peryferyjnych, nieturystycznych. Wyniki badania motywują do wykorzystania literatury jako kulturowo istotnego źródła danych w odkrywaniu reguł odczuwania oraz reżimów emocjonalnych wyrażanych przez autora oraz bohaterów.

This article presents a narrative account of one gender-variant student and his experiences in public school and school music. In the sixth grade, Ryan began cross-dressing and announced that he was gay. While his family was supportive, the school community’s response was hostile. Ryan was eventually forced out of public education, ending his participation in the school’s accomplished band and choir program. As a homeschooled student, Ryan used composition as an emotional outlet and a means of introspection. Eventually songwriting became a medium through which he could share his feelings and experiences with others. Ryan’s story highlights the pivotal role that music can play in the lives of transgender students seeking community and self-expression.

Full textAbstract:
Over the last few decades, work in affective neuroscience has increasingly investigated the neural basis of emotion. A central debate in the field, when studying individuals with brain damage, has been whether emotional processes are lateralized or not. This review aims to expand this debate, by considering the need to include a hierarchical dimension to the problem. The historical journey of the diverse literature is presented, particularly focusing on the need to develop a research program that explores the neural basis of a wide range of emotional processes (perception, expression, experience, regulation, decision making, etc.), and also its relation to lateralized cortical and deep-subcortical brain structures. Of especial interest is the study of the interaction between emotional components; for example, between emotion generation and emotion regulation. Finally, emerging evidence from lesion studies is presented regarding the neural basis of emotion-regulation strategies, for which the issue of laterality seems most relevant. It is proposed that, because emotion-regulation strategies are complex higher-order cognitive processes, the question appears to be not the lateralization of the entire emotional process, but the lateralization of the specific cognitive tools we use to manage our feelings, in a range of different ways.

Full textAbstract:
Gérard Genette’s transtextuality theory serves as the basis for a hermeneutic inquiry into Horst Rosenthal’s Mickey au camp de Gurs. Multiple levels of meaning emerge from transtextual links to other literary genres and works of Western culture, from Disney’s early animations to fairy tales and satire, concluding with Dante’s Inferno. This article analyses Rosenthal’s transtextual discourse and shows how his use of the comic genre to depict the horrors of the Gurs internment camp involves readers in what happened there and produces a text that speaks to all. Using Mickey Mouse, the international cartoon hero, alongside referencing the Inferno, a cornerstone of the Western canon, turns Rosenthal’s experience into a universal one and permits author and reader to focus on the emotional level that transcends all rationality.

This article discusses how doctoral candidates identify and navigate personal learning challenges on their journey to becoming researchers. Our study asked creative arts and humanities candidates to think beyond the research project itself and reflect on emotional hurdles they were facing or had overcome. The findings point to a great deal of ‘invisible’ work that underpins doctoral study, and show that such hidden work can have a major influence not only on the research project, but also on progress and satisfaction with the learning journey. In this article, we outline the key themes that emerged from the study: on the emotional and transformational dimensions of the doctoral journey. Using these themes and the candidate stories surrounding them, we align the doctoral journey with Joseph Campbell’s journeying ‘hero’ and Mezirow’s concept of transformation, and suggest how making such invisible aspects of candidature more visible might enhance research training.

In this article, the researchers discuss how they utilised experiential learning techniques to transform a tutor training program into a leadership development opportunity. Through active research and narrative analysis, the researchers were able to reflect on how the tutor training program they initially developed from an operational need evolved into a leadership development program aimed at encouraging participants to reflect on their own teaching practice and develop an individual teaching philosophy that has its foundations in constructivist learning and experiential learning. The particular leadership skills that the participants developed during the training include planning and strategic thinking, organisational skills, collaboration and team work, effective communication and listening skills, emotional intelligence, and the appropriate display of emotional labour cues while facilitating tutorials. True leadership requires that the leader sets an example to followers. A follower will buy into an idea if the leader can inspire the follower to believe what he believes.

ObjectivesTo understand how bereaved spousal caregivers of persons with dementia perceive and respond to changes over the course of their spouse’s disease, from diagnosis into bereavement.DesignQualitative interview study with convenience sampling and thematic analysis approach.ParticipantsParticipants included eight women and two men (n=10) who had been spousal caregivers for a person with dementia prior to his/her death. Participants were older adults who self-reported good health and were bereaved longer than a year.SettingData collected in a small Canadian prairie city between fall 2014 and winter 2015.FindingsTwo overarching themes were developed as important components of participants’ caregiving journey: emotional reactions to change and variation in social connectedness throughout the caregiving and bereavement journey. Four key sub-themes developed through the analysis of emotional reactions to events: memorable grief overshadows persistent grief, a progressive feeling of hopelessness and overwhelmed, relief is common but hidden and gratitude is a milestone in a constructive bereavement. Three key variations of social connectedness throughout the caregiving and bereavement journey were developed: the importance of social inclusion throughout a caregiving and bereavement journey, the repeated loss of companionship and withdrawing from social interactions is contingent on needs.ConclusionsThe findings suggest that emotional changes throughout caregiving and bereavement are not linear. The need for support from family, friends and new social supports is influential in enabling the caregiver to move forward during caregiving and bereavement.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Background Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a debilitating intestinal condition, manifesting as Crohn’s disease (CD), ulcerative colitis (UC) or indeterminate colitis (IC). The patient experience is impacted by a lack of awareness from other stakeholders despite growing global disease prevalence. To gain deeper insight of the patient experience, promote quality care, and enhance quality of life, we performed a qualitative study of the patient journey starting from pre-diagnosis through treatment. Methods U.S. patients with IBD were recruited via UC/CD support groups and organizations, social media platforms, blog followers, and personal networks. Participants were screened via an emailed survey and asked to self-identify as medically diagnosed on the basis of reported diagnostic testing. Interviews were conducted by qualitative researchers by phone or web conferencing. Open-ended questions were developed to support and gather information about our learning objectives—primarily, our desire to understand the unique experiences of UC/CD patients in their journey from symptom onset through diagnosis, treatment and maintenance (e.g. “Upon diagnosis, what were your immediate thoughts about the condition?”). This qualitative data were analyzed using Human-Centered Design methodology, including patient typologies (personas), forced temporal zoom (journey maps), forced semantic zoom (stakeholder system mapping), and affinity mapping for pattern recognition of unmet needs. Results A total of 32 patients were interviewed: N=17 CD patients, N=13 UC patients and N=2 IC patients. The interviewed population reflected regional, demographic, and disease-related diversity (Table 1). Five unique, mutually exclusive journeys were identified to understand and classify patient experiences: (1) Journey of Independence, (2) Journey of Acceptance, (3) Journey of Recognition, (4) Journey of Passion and (5) Journey of Determination (Figure 1). Patients with IBD expressed a need for increased awareness, education, and training for providers to shorten the path to diagnosis. Mental health support was found to be a critical gap in care, particularly for major treatment decisions (e.g., surgery). The inclusion of emotional support into the treatment paradigm was perceived as essential to long-term wellness. Patient attitudes and self-advocacy varied on their individual journeys; understanding these journeys may accelerate time to diagnosis and treatment. Conclusion Better understanding of patient journeys can help healthcare providers improve their approach to patient care and coordination.

Full textAbstract:
It was early in my first year of medical school that I learned about the “brainbow” - an innovative means of using genetic expression of various fluorescent proteins to colourfully label individual neurons, allowing for the visualization of neural networks within the brain. I was fascinated by the beautiful complexity of these axonal interconnections. In reflection, I drew parallels to my journey through medicine, and the intricacies of navigating human interpersonal relationships.
Medical practice includes both the soft and the hard sciences. Academic institutions teach us the hard sciences: the pathophysiology of disease, and the evidence-based practice for diagnosis and management. Over the years of my clinical training, I am learning that much of the soft science of medicine is in the human connection. It is in our ongoing practice of communication and interpersonal skills, and the subsequent relationships that we develop (or sometimes, lose) with our friends, partners, and colleagues, as we face the miracles and the hardships throughout our medical training. It is in our patient interactions: the emotions we share, the empathy we convey, and the rapport that we build in order to provide compassionate patient care. Much like the brain’s neural network, these connections are complex and ever-changing - some connections are strengthened, and others are unfortunately, and perhaps painfully, pruned.
My piece “The emotional brainbow” uses fine multicolours of sewn thread to reflect the intricate axonal connections of brain centres involved in processing and expressing emotions: the cortex, the limbic system, the brainstem, and the cerebellum. These crucial structures communicate to facilitate our ability to understand and empathize with others, and contributes towards our continually developing practice of manoeuvering interpersonal relationships. There is a complex, overlapping interplay of these neural connections within the emotion-regulating brain centres, much like the beautifully intricate emotional human connections, which we, as health care professionals, both create and navigate.

The journey of students in a Collegiate Recovery Program (CRP) begins with early recovery and continues towards a well-developed mental, spiritual, emotional, and physical state. Much emphasis is placed on mental, emotional, and spiritual healing through traditional recovery programs. Though all of these aspects are vital to flourishing in recovery, nourishing the physical state is often overlooked. The “missing link” within CRPs, the role of nutrition, can significantly impact physical well-being in recovery and a student’s reconnection with their body. Delivering information to CRP staff and students on the many aspects impacted from nutritional deficiencies and imbalances (neurobiological, gastrointestinal, emotional, mental), particularly in early recovery, will provide a means to evaluate inclusion of nutritional and physical health emphasis at their CRP. Appropriate implementation, not only knowledge, of resources to support this “missing link” is also crucial in a student’s journey to flourishing in recovery.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction. A chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) diagnosis can be a frightening and confusing experience for both patients and caregivers. Understanding the patient experience can help identify challenges patients face and allow for the development of action plans to guide their journey. Methods. A group of patients, caregivers, and thought leaders from key advocacy organizations and cancer centers held a roundtable on November 13, 2018, in New York City to discuss the patient experience for individuals diagnosed with CLL. The objective of this roundtable was to agree on strategies to optimize the patient journey for those diagnosed with CLL. Results. Gaps identified in the experience of patients with CLL included limited opportunities to ask questions at diagnosis (especially if given the information over the phone), availability of second opinions, inadequate time with their physician/care team, variability in the quality and quantity of available educational resources, lack of awareness with regard to biomarker testing, inadequate discussion of treatment options and clinical trials, financial concerns, and lack of emotional support. Roundtable attendees selected five of these challenges to discuss in detail and proposed strategies to address them: 1) Development of a medical team fact sheet was proposed to help patients understand who is involved in their medical care and identify the appropriate team member to whom they can address specific questions with regard to their disease and treatment. Such a resource could help ensure patients' questions are answered in a healthcare setting where physicians' time is increasingly limited; 2) Educating patients and physicians on the importance of early access to emotional support and providing them with information on how to find these resources was identified as another important goal. Fact sheets and resources on the benefits of emotional support as well as directories to help patients access social workers/counselors, psychosocial oncology providers, or support groups would help ensure patients receive the emotional support they need; 3) To address lack of awareness of biomarker testing, roundtable attendees suggested the creation of a fact sheet on biomarker testing (common mutations, required tests, etc) to ensure all physicians and patients know what tests are needed, and when they should be done. Implementation of strategies to increase biomarker testing will help ensure that the best treatment option is identified for each patient; 4) Patients are often unaware of financial assistance that may be available to them, and databases (eg, CancerFAC.org) that serve as resources for financial assistance are often not updated frequently enough to keep up with the constantly evolving financial landscape. Creating a system for regular updates of CancerFAC.org, a financial resource database hosted by CancerCare and other advocacy organizations such as The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and the Lymphoma Research Foundation, and ensuring patients are aware of this resource, would help patients navigate the financial options available to them at any given time; 5) Finally, development of plain language (sixth-grade reading level), accessible information on the potential benefits of clinical trials, easy-to-navigate listings of ongoing trials, and connections for patients to nurse navigators could help address lack of patient understanding of what clinical trials are and when and if they might be appropriate for each individual patient. Conclusion. Appropriate information and guidance from the healthcare team and access to up-to-date and easy-to-use resources can help alleviate anxiety and improve the patient journey for those diagnosed with CLL. Roundtable participants developed strategies and action plans to help meet several important needs of patients with CLL at the time of diagnosis.

Full textAbstract:
While playfulness is important to graduate writing to shift students into new ways of thinking about their research, a key obstacle to having fun is writing anxiety. Writing is emotional, and despite a growing field of research that attests to this, emotions are often not explicitly recognized as part of the graduate student writing journey. Many students experience writing anxiety, particularly when receiving feedback on dissertations or papers for publication. Feedback on writing-in-progress is crucial to meeting disciplinary expectations and developing a scholarly identity for the writer. Yet many students are unable to cope with the emotions generated by criticism of their writing. This paper presents pedagogical strategies—free-writing, negotiating negative internal dialogue, and using objects to externalize feelings—to help students navigate their emotions, while recognizing the broader discursive context within which graduate writing takes place. Reflections on the pedagogical strategies from nineteen Masters and PhD students attending a course, Graduate Research Writing, were used to illustrate student experiences over the semester. The pedagogical strategies helped students to recognize their emotions, to make decisions about their emotional reactions and to develop agency in the way they responded to critical feedback. By acknowledging the emotional nature of writing, students are more open to creativity, originality, and imagination.

En este artículo enfatizamos el valor epistémico de las emociones en los procesos de investigación (en el saber qué y en el saber cómo). Nos centramos no sólo en cómo las emociones de quien investiga afectan el proceso de investigación sino cómo el propio proceso afecta –emocionalmente- a las investigadoras. En concreto, explicamos las diferentes razones por las cuales es importante reconocer el papel de las emociones en los procesos de investigación: metodológicas e instrumentales, éticas, analíticas, políticas y sanadoras. También exponemos los inconvenientes de enfatizar las emociones en la investigación. Partiendo del concepto de “reflexividad fuerte” de las epistemologías feministas, proponemos un viaje para reflexionar sobre las emociones y sus diferentes implicaciones en una investigación académica: el impacto emocional de la investigación en la investigadora (especialmente cuando se trabaja con población vulnerable), el trabajo emocional que implica la investigación y, en concreto, el trabajo de campo (y los dilemas éticos que puede implicar), las emociones como datos o evidencia y el conocimiento emocionalmente sentido.In this paper, we emphasize the epistemic value of emotions in the research process (to know what and know how). We focus not only on how the researcher's emotions affect the research process but also on how the process itself affects – emotionally- the researchers. Specifically, we explain the different reasons why it is important to recognize the role of emotions in research processes: methodological and instrumental, ethical, analytical, political and “healers”. We also expose the drawbacks of emphasizing emotions in research. Starting from the concept of "strong reflexivity" of feminist epistemologies, we propose a journey through emotions and their different implications in feminist research: the emotional impact of research on the researcher (especially when working with vulnerable population); the “emotional work” involved in the research and, specifically, in the fieldwork (and the ethical dilemmas that may involve); emotions as data/evidence and emotionally sensed knowledge.

This article aims to understand what it is that has made and still makes millions of Muslims taking great physical and financial hardship to go on the Muslim pilgrimage. It seems that the reason why Muslims yearn to visit Mecca has to be understood by looking at what emotions, and especially spiritual emotions, are triggered through this visit or even through the imagination of visiting the holy land. This yearning cannot just be understood based on wanting to fulfill one of the five pillars of Islam. Religious or spiritual travel like the journey to the holy land of Islam needs to be understood within the context of an individual’s emotional landscape, spiritual development and urge for spiritual self-improvement to become a better person and Muslim. This article used qualitative method, particularly semi-structured interviews with the informants. The results showed that pilgrimage to the Muslim holy land in Mecca can be a changing experience for the pilgrim undertaking the journey.

AbstractIn this article, an evaluation of the Journey to the Island of Calm programme in three sites in Queensland is presented. The evaluation examines the change in children’s sense of agency and capacity to manage their social and emotional well-being. Using a mixed method approach, the findings confirm that the Journey to the Island of Calm programme has accrued positive gains for children in their self-regulation and self-understanding. The findings are useful in developing intervention and learning programmes for children between 9 and 12 years of age in order to promote their sense of agency, capacity for self-regulation and self-independence, and contribute to children’s social and emotional development and skills from very early on in life.

Full textAbstract:
e18568 Background: The burden of cancer has largely focused on the patient. However, caregivers also experience considerable burden. The study's aim was to use social media posts to better understand the emotional journey of caregivers who provide care for patients with leukemia from their own perspective. Methods: Publicly available social media posts (in English) mentioning chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), and acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) from blogs, discussion boards, and Facebook were collected and linguistically analyzed. Results: A total of 145 social media posts by CML caregivers, 149 posts by CLL caregivers, and 65 posts by APL caregivers were analyzed. Common themes emerged among CML, CLL, and APL caregivers as they journeyed from pre-diagnosis, to diagnosis, and to survivorship alongside their loved ones. At the pre-diagnosis phase, caregivers expressed uneasiness or worry about the symptoms their loved ones were experiencing. Additionally, caregivers were often frustrated with doctors because they felt that their loved ones’ symptoms were ignored, which led to a delay in diagnosis. Once the diagnosis was confirmed, caregivers were shocked and scared. Further, caregivers were desperate for information on the disease and what the future would hold. During the survivorship phase of the journey, an amalgam of complex positive and negative emotions emerged among caregivers. Caregivers can become obsessed with finding ways to treat their loved ones, including use of alternative medicine. Caregivers experienced both positive (a more “enriched relationship”) and negative (felt alone or pushed away) relationship changes. Many caregivers were proud of their loved ones’ remission and felt triumphant. Caregivers felt a sense of gratitude toward doctors, friends, family, and social media sites for their support. Conclusions: Caregivers of CML, CLL, and APL patients experience a gamut of emotions at every stage of the disease. Additionally, the relationship between caregivers and loved ones can be negatively affected. Findings suggest that relationship counseling and social support groups could potentially relieve some caregiver burden.

International Journal of Doctoral Studies 10 (2015): 465–82. http://dx.doi.org/10.28945/2306.
Full textAbstract:
This article explores the value of attending to the emotional side of the doctoral journey by focusing on the use of a ‘secret’ Facebook group amongst a cohort of EdD (Professional Doctorate in Education) students at one English university. Presented as a piece of action research in which the participants created an intervention to address a perceived problem and then reflected on its effectiveness, it is co-authored by the cohort of six students and their tutor. The stresses and loneliness of the doctoral journey have been well documented and constitute the ‘problem’ addressed by this cohort of students. Their inception and use of a Facebook group was a response to challenges experienced in their studies, with the expectation of facilitating peer support. As will be shown this aim was successfully met with enhancements in academic, social, and emotional support. However, unexpected benefits arose from the interactions within the group including a normalization of the challenges of the doctoral quest and the advantage of being able to follow the ‘breadcrumb trail’ found in the group postings as group journal and aid to reflection. Further, both tutors and students have noted the development of a strong sense of ‘cohortness’ and inclination to work collaboratively. Through a process of individual and group reflection on experiences of the intervention, combined with analysis of the content of the postings, this article examines the characteristics of the Facebook intervention and considers some ethical implications. We suggest that key characteristics that have contributed to its success include the student ownership, the protection of the secret format, and the combination of emotionally supportive, academic, and irreverent exchanges between group members. It is hoped that these insights may be useful to future doctoral candidates and their tutors as they negotiate their own way through the doctoral woods.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to discuss how educators can harness the natural momentum of learning to create a dramatic and exciting hero’s learning journey. Given the importance of motivation, educators can borrow ideas from game designers by using gamification – a process to re-frame a real life goal to be more appealing and achievable. A series of learning activities, developed to meet both cognitive and emotional needs, results in an engaging learning journey. Design/methodology/approach The concept presented, based on PSI Theory, OCEAN Big Five character traits and player/learner archetypes, is that learners are motivated by three basic needs: affiliation, competence or certainty (assuming other physiological needs are met). Findings Armed with insight into types of motivations at different phases, learner experience designers can create different learning journeys and user profiles. Learning activities can be planned for each need and phase based on changing motivations: collaborate and curate (affiliation), choice and ownership (certainty), challenge and accountability (competence). Research limitations/implications Further research is needed in the area of gamification in education. A qualitative study should be conducted on preferred learning and assessment activities for each player archetype and, importantly, this research should represent broad samples and not be restricted to the online gaming community. Originality/value Rather than focussing on an isolated unit of study, and asynchronous eLearning modules, learning designers can use modern technologies to seed and nurture learning communities where each person has an appealing pathway to enable them to move from novice to expert at their own pace in a spiral of satisfying learning.

This research extends the design concepts and research methods of user journey maps to the field of intangible cultural heritage, and selects the typical lotus lantern material package in Qinhuai lanterns as an example to explore the digital experience design of lanterns. On-site research methods are used to understand users, define target users and build personas. AEIOU recording framework is used to record user behavior, analyze and reorganize user behavior with card classification, and summarize user behavior flow. The Likert Smiley Scale is used to ask children to evaluate specific behaviors, get emotional curves, and summarize design opportunities from the perspective of valley filling. Given the pain points in the experience of the target user children and the indirect user parents, the lotus lantern material package is digitally redesigned from four perspectives of materials, connection methods between materials, functions and storage to meet the users' emotional experience. This research method and process have certain reference significance for experience design research on the same type of intangible cultural heritages.

In this patient narrative the author describes the emotional shock of being told they will need a mastectomy. The work ‘mastectomy’ is analyzed for its visceral impact on the author. Their psychologist suggests changing the word. MAMMA MIA then becomes the nomenclature that serves to contain the emotional impact of having one’s breast removed, and helps the author accept the fact that they will need the operation. The process of choosing a surgeon is described in detail. Two of the doctors are dehumanizing. The surgeon chosen is flexible and patient. This is the author’s emotional account of having breast cancer, and her journey following up with treatment without sacrificing their womanhood.

This essay outlines a place-based pedagogic method called Narrative Journey, developed by the author in his work at the Eden Project, United Kingdom. The essay describes the method in the context of children’s play and experiential learning in outdoor natural environments, and uses a critical and reflexive lens to describe praxis across two broad themes: story and mimesis, and story, place, and space. It also provides practical, theory-linked examples before concluding that Narrative Journey praxis can add support to children’s emotional connectedness to nature and outdoor experiential learning.
