Abstract:

Les méthodes qualitatives visent à décrire, comprendre et approfondir un phénomène observé. Elles sont encore peu développées dans la recherche en psychiatrie de l’adolescent. Les objectifs de cette thèse sont à la fois méthodologiques et thérapeutiques. Il s'agit d'illustrer à partir de trois études qualitatives l'intérêt des méthodes qualitatives dans la recherche clinique sur les soins en psychiatrie de l'adolescent. Ces études ont en commun d'explorer la question des soins et en particulier celle de la perception des soins en psychiatrie de l'adolescent par les adolescents, leurs familles

Abstract:

Qualitative methodology offers the opportunity for ergonomists to investigate work problems and research questions using context-sensitive tools for data collection and analysis. This is particularly useful in contexts with complex social and cultural dimensions, for example the high level of emotional and intimate personal interactions between staff and patients in the health care industry. Two aims have been achieved in this thesis. The first is to set out a clear process for using qualitative methodology in ergonomics by taking a middle ground position with respect to the background philoso

Abstract:

This thesis investigates whether a qualitative research method, using phenomenological interviews and analysis, can be successfully applied to perceptual audio research, a field heretofore that has mainly used quantitative methods. The method is investigated by studying the types of information elicited by the method and the information’s usefulness and relevance to the conducted study. The qualitative method is applied in three different conditions: a non-experimental condition, an experimental condition, and an experimental condition using mixed-methods.

Scholars have called for contextual based explorations of factors impacting implementation of integrated health care (IHC), yet IHC researchers agree that a paucity of research remains.

Even less is known about the process of behavioral and physical health care integration in student health centers on university campuses (Alschuler et al., 2008).

Abstract:

The analysis of operating procedures in the early stages of design can lead to safer and higher performance plants. Qualitative reasoning techniques hold considerable promise in supporting generations of operating procedures, since they are able to describe possible trajectories of a system based on non-quantitative information and provide explanation about process behaviour in a way which gives insight into the underlying physical processes. Despite this potential, existing techniques still present limitations related to the tendency for generating non-real behaviour patterns and the inabilit

In a move towards a more informed understanding of the concept of satisfaction, this study aims to explore how thirty dermatology patients describe what it means to be satisfied with their healthcare. This was undertaken by adopting a qualitative research approach, using an in-depth semi-structured interview methodology. It was conducted within the context of a randomised controlled trial of telemedicine in dermatology (RCT). A secondary aim was to evaluate the extent to which the methodological approach of the study (interpretative phenomenological analysis) was successful in eliciting such d

Abstract:

Visual depictions of politicians play an essential role in the impression formation of the audience because they convey visual cues and attributes related to, for example, likeability or competence. This study examines the subjective audience evaluations based on the visual portrayals of a politician by using Q methodology, a qualitative–quantitative approach of audience research. Q-sorts of 33 different pictures showing a high-ranking European politician, along with personal interviews, were used to probe the audience’s perception of a favorable or unfavorable picture.

Abstract:

Interest in qualitative research in psychology has never been stronger, but although qualitative research is making inroads into some areas of psychology, it is still marginalised within the discipline. Psychological researchers remain unconvinced as to the scientific worth of qualitative inquiry. This scepticism is due in good part to qualitative approaches not being accompanied by convincing arguments or demonstrations of their scientific adequacy. The aim of this thesis is to explore the possibility of a broader, scientifically credible role for qualitative inquiry in psychology. For this t

Abstract:

Millennials are leaving the Catholic Church in great numbers, despite being raised in the faith. When asked for the reason of disaffiliation, young adults do not blame sexual abuse scandals in the Church nor do they cite specific Catholic beliefs and teachings. Instead, they say that they have begun to ask why stay Catholic and what meaning does the Catholic faith provide in their lives. This search for meaning has caused them to leave their faith and seek it elsewhere. However, prominent figures in Catholic media, Emily Wilson and Fr.

Abstract:

Indonesia signed CEDAW 1980 and ratified it in 1984 making it one of the first countries in South East Asia to do so. Despite legislation and governmental efforts women are still discriminated against in areas such as access to education, resources and credit. Income generation and women´s empowerment have been recognized on an international level as important strategies to enhance gender equality and in the process of alleviating poverty. By using the method of the focus group interview this study examines the process of empowerment for a group of women who take part in an income generation p

Abstract:

In the past two years, six National Football League players have died by suicide. Investigations into most of the deaths revealed that the players suffered from brain damage likely caused by repeated concussions. As is the case with many health issues, tragedy often precedes action; the suicides of these high profile football stars have catalyzed action on concussion policy and practice, as well as opened up the conversation about the overall mental health of athletes. This thesis joins the conversation around mental health and athletes, specifically Canadian varsity football players. Mental h

Abstract:

Implantado em 1994, o Programa Saúde da Família (PSF), hoje Estratégia Saúde da Família (ESF), vem buscando garantir o acesso equânime à saúde a partir de um modelo que tem como princípios básicos: a integralidade, hierarquização, territorialização, equipe multiprofissional e o caráter substitutivo do modelo de assistência à saúde. A tradução destes princípios na prática, nem sempre efetiva, tem sido discutida, principalmente no que diz respeito ao seu caráter substitutivo. Nesse sentido, o presente estudo, enquadrado no campo da saúde coletiva, foi realizado junto aos usuários de famílias ads

Abstract:

En se basant sur la littérature, nous étudions les liens entre les concepts de mobilité intra-organisationnelle et de Responsabilité Sociétale de l’Entreprise (RSE). Aujourd’hui, les salariés et les entreprises portent un intérêt croissant pour ces deux concepts. Le contexte économique et social, engendre une grande préoccupation pour la mobilité et pour la RSE. La loi du 22 septembre 2017 modifie en profondeur le droit du travail notamment au niveau du régime du licenciement. Ce contexte vient accentuer et souligner l’importance du sujet. Afin de comprendre les enjeux, nous étudions ces conce

Abstract:

While much has been written about the efficacy of academic support programs for increasing the retention rates of university students deemed academically underprepared, few studies examine how students engage the support classroom with an emphasis on expressions of literacy. This qualitative study responds to recent calls in student development literature for more studies into particular practices of university support programs. Focused on an exemplar support program at a larger, public university in the American Midwest, the study gathered perspectives about the support of academically underp

Abstract:

This thesis looks at Stephen North's 1987 claim of the limits of ethnography in composition research and looks at modern, published research studies to see how they have heeded North's warnings. In 1987 Stephen North claimed that the future of ethnographic methodology in composition research was doomed unless those who would adopt this qualitative technique understood its limitations. North argued that each ethnography is only valuable as an individual study, that individual studies are not cumulative towards some absolute and discoverable positivistic model of knowledge. This warning of the p
