The aim of this study was to illuminate occupational therapists’ experiences of how to promote coping of daily activities in older patients who are discharged from hospital to home. Methods: A qualitative design with individual interviews was used. A purposive sample of eight occupational therapists were included, four worked in hospitals and four in community health services, respectively. Initially the interviews had an open form, but a…
Experiences of Norwegian child and school health nurses with the "Starting Right" child health assessment innovation: a qualitative interview study
2022

The aim of this study was to explore the experiences of child and school health nurses with the Starting Right innovation. Methods We used a qualitative design and conducted three focus group interviews w…
Peer support in an outpatient clinic for people living with human immunodeficiency virus: a qualitative study of service users’ experiences
2022
Abstract Background Although human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) has become a manageable condition with increasing life expectancy, people living with HIV (PLHIV) are still often isolated from society due to stigma and discrimination.

Methods The study used a qualitative, descriptive research design for an in-depth understanding of peer support provided to PLHIV in the context of outpatient clinics. Healthcare professionals contribu…

Salikteņi rakstos par tirgvedību
2018
Rakstība angļu valodā vienmēr ir bijusi diezgan sarežģīta. Salikteņi ir vārdi, kam nav noteiktas rakstības sistēmas, tādēļ cilvēki tos raksta dažādi. Tādējādi šī darba mērķis ir analizēt salikteņus rakstos par tirgvedību. Kvalitatīvā un kvantitatīvā analīze tika izmantota kā pētniecības metode, un analīze tika veikta par salikteņiem, kas atrodami rakstos par tirgvedību vienā britu un vienā amerikāņu tirgvedības žurnālā. Šis pētījums ir parādījis, ka pārstāvētākais salikteņu veids ir īstie salikteņi (proper compounds) un izplatītākā salikteņu rakstība ir tos rakstīt kā vienu vārdu jeb “koprakstījumā” (solid compounds). Pētījuma rezultāti apstiprina, ka rakstos par tirgvedību izmantoto salikt…
Terminoloģijas pārnese ar lietu tiesībām saistītu dokumentu tulkojumos no angļu valodas latviešu valodā
2017
Lietu tiesības ir būtisks koncepts, kas apzīmē dzīves telpu, valdījumu un iesaistīto pušu tiesiskos pienākumus un saistības. Pieaugošā globalizācijas ietekme pieprasa tādu terminoloģisko ekvivalentu nepieciešamību, kas nodrošinātu to pašu ietekmi un tiesiskās sekas gan oriģinālvalodā, gan mērķa valodā. Šī pētījuma mērķis ir apskatīt, vai juridiskās ekvivalences princips ir ievērots ar lietu tiesībām saistītas terminoloģijas pārnesē no angļu valodas latviešu valodā. Šī analīze izmanto kvalitatīvo pētījuma metodi, izvērtējot ar lietu tiesībām saistītu terminu nozīmi, funkciju un lietojumu. Rezultāti norāda uz to, ka izvēlētie termini seko juridiskās ekvivalences principam, uzsverot kultūras u…
Dialogues in partner abusive clients' group treatment: conversational tools used by counselors with differently motivated clients.
2014
This qualitative study investigated talk and interaction as process factors potentially influencing outcomes in abuser group intervention. The findings showed that (a) abusers participate in group programs with considerably different degrees of motivation; (b) the interaction in abusers’ various stages of change is characterized by different qualities; and (c) group counselors face a challenge in adapting their ways of working to abusers’ various needs and backgrounds. The findings demonstrate the importance of attending to the interactional elements in abuser treatment programs and show the value of matching an abuser’s needs and degree of motivation with the timing of interventions. It is…
Perceived problems with collateral: The value of informal networking
2020
Abstract Many businesses in emerging economies are financially constrained due to their limited use of formal loans. Recent evidence suggests that negative perceptions discourage entrepreneurs from applying for loans. One of the main issues entrepreneurs mention is unattainable collateral requirements. In this paper, we contribute to this line of research by investigating the effect of networking with fellow entrepreneurs on perceived collateral problems. Drawing on quantitative and qualitative data originating from female entrepreneurs in Tanzania, we find that through networking, entrepreneurs are exposed to stories of their peers’ experiences with loans which influence their perceptions …
Managers as Moral Leaders : Moral Identity Processes in the Context of Work
2020
AbstractThis qualitative study explores how business leaders narrate their personal ways of recognizing, reasoning, and resolving moral conflicts and what these stories reveal about their moral identity processes within organizational contexts. Based on interviews with 25 business leaders, 4 moral identity statuses were identified: achievement (commitment to a personally meaningful moral value framework that had been established through a period of self-exploration), moratorium (self-exploration of one’s moral value framework that was ongoing), foreclosure (commitment to a given moral value framework that was present with little or no personal self-exploration), and diffusion (neither clear…
Patterns of Transnational Urban Drift to Latvia
2021
This chapter extends the previous knowledge on the effects of migrants’ transnational lifestyle by studying residential patterns and life preferences of Latvian return migrants and arriving foreigners. We aim to explore the geographies and narratives from interviews with migrants who had shifted to more dynamic and prosperous urban/suburban locations. The contribution sends forward the interplay between immigration and return migration experiences by questioning: (1) What are the migratory flows’ geographical contexts? (2) How do they overlap and illuminate the process of ‘urban drift’? (3) How do the ‘urban drifters’ value their current life preferences and migratory experiences? Using sec…
