    Faculty of Health; Institute of Health and Biomedical Innovation, 2008
    Co-Authors: Nigar G Khawaja, Katherine M White, Robert Schweitzer, Jaimi H Greenslade
    Abstract:

    A Qualitative Approach was adopted to interview 23 Sudanese refugees residing in Brisbane, Australia. Semi-structured interviews were conducted to examine the participants' premigration, transit and postmigration experiences. Refugees reported traumatic and life threatening experiences during the premigration and transit phase. The difficulties during postmigration phase consisted of resettlement issues. Nevertheless, they reported using coping strategies across all phases. The coping strategies identified relied predominantly upon participant's use of religious beliefs, and cognitive strategies such as reframing the situation, relying on their inner resources and focussing on future wishes and aspirations. Social support also emerged as a salient coping strategy. The findings are useful for mental health professionals as they highlight the plight of the refugees as well as the strategies used by them to manage their traumas and stresses.

  • understanding the coping strategies of international students a Qualitative Approach
    Faculty of Health; Institute of Health and Biomedical Innovation, 2011
    Co-Authors: Nigar G Khawaja, Helen M Stallman
    Abstract:

    International students encounter a range of additional challenges as a part of their tertiary study experience. A Qualitative Approach was used to understand the challenges faced by international students, coping strategies that promoted their personal resilience and advice they have for future international students. Twenty-two international students from an Australian university participated in four focus groups. The challenges identified by students included adjustment, social isolation, English language skills, academic difficulties, unmet expectations, employment, culture shock and psychological distress. Participants shared their own personal experiences and strategies used by them to cope and identified strategies that future students could use prior to leaving their home country and whilst in Australia to improve their adjustment. Uses of international student stories in prevention interventions are discussed.

  • perceived barriers and enablers of physical activity in postpartum women a Qualitative Approach
    BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth, 2016
    Co-Authors: Maryam Saligheh, Beverley Mcnamara, Rosanna Rooney
    Abstract:

    Abstract Background Postpartum women’s recovery from birth can be assisted through increased physical activity (PA). However, women face substantial barriers to participating in exercise and require support to enable them to benefit from increased PA. Methods This study sought to explore women’s beliefs about and experiences of PA and exercise during the 6 weeks to 12 months postpartum period. A cohort of 14 postpartum women from a survey study of the barriers and enablers to exercise participation agreed to take part in interview sessions to provide an in-depth understanding of the women’s perceptions of the postpartum period and their physical activity during this time. Results Findings are presented with reference to the social ecological framework and indicate postpartum women face substantial personal and environmental barriers to PA and exercise participation: fatigue, a lack of motivation and confidence, substantial time constraints, lack of access to affordable and appropriate activities and poor access to public transport. In contrast, enablers such as possessing greater social support, in particular partner support, improved PA and exercise participation. Conclusions The findings encourage facilitation of exercise through mothers’ groups, mothers’ exercise clubs or postnatal classes suggesting behavioral and social change is needed. Interaction between individuals, community, organizations and policy makers is required. In addition, the provision of specifically tailored and appropriate exercise programs could potentially enable increased PA in postpartum women, thereby improving their health.
