reliability and validity of the japanese Semistructured Interview version of the early signs scale ess ji for outpatients with schizophrenia study 1
International Journal of Mental Health Nursing, 2011Co-Authors: Rieko Koichi, Yuki MiyamotoAbstract:The purpose of this study was to develop a Semistructured Interview for the Japanese version of the Early Signs Scale (ESS-JI), as well as to examine its reliability and validity. We conducted a cross-sectional study in Japan. Participants were recruited from a psychiatric clinic. The survey included 25 participants with schizophrenia; of these, 21 participants gave informed consent. For the analysis, we used data from 15 outpatients who had no missing values on the ESS-JI. Of the participants, 70% were female, and the mean age was 41.2 years. The ESS-JI was developed by the authors using a translation-back-translation procedure. Internal consistency was assessed by Cronbach's alpha coefficients, and test-retest reliability was assessed by Pearson's correlation coefficients. Correlations with other scales, such as the Behaviour and Symptom Identification Scale (BASIS-32) and the Self-Efficacy for Community Living Scale (SECL), were used to examine the concurrent and construct validity of the ESS-JI. Cronbach's alpha coefficients were high for the ESS-JI. Pearson's correlation coefficients also indicated good test-retest reliability. The ESS-JI was significantly and positively correlated with the BASIS-32. In contrast, the ESS-JI had a significant negative correlation with the SECL. This study confirmed the reliability and validity of the ESS-JI for outpatients with schizophrenia.

validation of the teen addiction severity index t asi
American Journal on Addictions, 1993Co-Authors: M Yifrah D Kamine, Eric F Wagne, Arry Plumme, Ronald SeifeAbstract:The Teen Addiction Severity Index (T-ASI) is a Semistructured Interview that was developed to fill the need for a reliable, valid, and standardized instrument for periodic evaluation of adolescent substance abuse. A preliminary study indicated good clinical utility and satisfactory interrater reliability. This study had three objectives: 1) to determine whether the T-ASI discriminated between hospitalized psychiatric patients with and without comorbid psychoactive substance use disorders (PSUD); 2) to determine whether T-ASI scores were related to other indices of problem behavior; and, 3) to determine whether there was any specificity in the ratings of different domains of the instrument when compared with other criteria. The results of the study provide support for the good psychometric properties of the T-ASI.

Clinicians' and researchers' perspectives on establishing and implementing core outcomes in haemodialysis: Semistructured Interview study.
BMJ open, 2018Co-Authors: Allison Tong, Sally Crowe, John S. Gill, Tess Harris, Brenda R. Hemmelgarn, Braden Manns, Roberto Pecoits-filho, Peter Tugwell, Wim Van Biesen, Angela Yee-moon WangAbstract:Objectives To describe the perspectives of clinicians and researchers on identifying, establishing and implementing core outcomes in haemodialysis and their expected impact. Design Face-to-face, Semistructured Interviews; thematic analysis. Stetting Twenty-seven centres across nine countries. Participants Fifty-eight nephrologists (42 (72%) who were also triallists). Results We identified six themes: reflecting direct patient relevance and impact (survival as the primary goal of dialysis, enabling well-being and functioning, severe consequences of comorbidities and complications, indicators of treatment success, universal relevance, stakeholder consensus); amenable and responsive to interventions (realistic and possible to intervene on, differentiating between treatments); reflective of economic burden on healthcare; feasibility of implementation (clarity and consistency in definition, easily measurable, requiring minimal resources, creating a cultural shift, aversion to intensifying bureaucracy, allowing justifiable exceptions); authoritative inducement and directive (endorsement for legitimacy, necessity of buy-in from dialysis providers, incentivising uptake); instituting patient-centredness (explicitly addressing patient-important outcomes, reciprocating trial participation, improving comparability of interventions for decision-making, driving quality improvement and compelling a focus on quality of life). Conclusions Nephrologists emphasised that core outcomes should be relevant to patients, amenable to change, feasible to implement and supported by stakeholder organisations. They expected core outcomes would improve patient-centred care and outcomes.

Children and adolescents' experiences of primary lymphoedema: Semistructured Interview study.
Archives of disease in childhood, 2018Co-Authors: Camilla S. Hanson, Johanna Newsom, Davinder Singh-grewal, Nicholas Henschke, Margaret Patterson, Allison TongAbstract:Background Congenital lymphoedema is a lifelong condition that has detrimental physical and psychosocial outcomes for young patients and burdensome treatment responsibilities that may hamper patients’ motivation for self-management. There is limited research from the perspective of young people with primary lymphoedema. We aimed to describe the experiences and views of children and adolescents with lymphoedema to inform patient-centred practice. Methods Twenty patients (aged 8–21 years) with primary lymphoedema were purposively sampled from two paediatric clinics in Sydney, Australia, to participate in a Semistructured Interview. The transcripts were analysed thematically. Results We identified six themes: reinforcing abnormality (damaging self-esteem, self-consciousness, frustrating restrictions and isolation); negotiating uncertainties (fearing condition worsening, deprioritised and sidelined, questioning cause and permanence, widespread unawareness); vulnerability and caution (avoiding pain and discomfort, preventing severe and permanent consequences, depending on permission, limiting goals and aspirations); disruptive transition (resisting change, losing progress and support, avoiding treatment costs); developing resilience (focusing on the positives, embracing individuality, recalibrating normality, prioritising coping) and taking responsibility (individualising treatment, needing support, external pressure and motivation, sticking to a routine, seeking independence). Conclusion Children and adolescents learn to adjust to the daily demands of lymphoedema management by individualising and accepting their treatment, but many continue to struggle with their self-esteem and lifestyle restrictions. Strategies are needed to empower young patients to advocate for themselves during their transition to adult care. Treatment plans that minimise social restrictions, address emotional consequences and incorporate patients’ preferences could improve adherence, satisfaction and outcomes.

Beliefs and Attitudes to Bowel Cancer Screening in Patients with CKD: A Semistructured Interview Study
Clinical journal of the American Society of Nephrology : CJASN, 2017Co-Authors: Laura J. James, Jonathan C. Craig, Germaine Wong, Narelle Williams, Wai H. Lim, Nicholas C P Cross, Allison TongAbstract:Background and objectives Bowel cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related death in people with CKD. Shared decision making regarding cancer screening is particularly complex in CKD and requires an understanding of patients’ values and priorities, which remain largely unknown. Our study aimed to describe the beliefs and attitudes to bowel cancer screening in patients with CKD. Design, setting, participants, & measurements Face to face, Semistructured Interviews were conducted from April of 2014 to December of 2015 with 38 participants ages 39–78 years old with CKD stages 3–5, on dialysis, or transplant recipients from four renal units in Australia and New Zealand. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the transcripts. Results Five themes were identified: invisibility of cancer (unspoken stigma, ambiguity of risk, and absence of symptomatic prompting); prioritizing kidney disease (preserving the chance of transplantation, over-riding attention to kidney disease, protecting graft survival, and showing loyalty to the donor); preventing the crisis of cancer (evading severe consequences and cognizant of susceptibility); cognitive resistance (reluctance to perform a repulsive procedure, intensifying disease burden threshold, anxiety of a positive test, and accepting the inevitable); and pragmatic accessibility (negligible financial effect, convenience, and protecting anonymity). Conclusions Patients with CKD understand the potential health benefits of bowel cancer screening, but they are primarily committed to their kidney health. Their decisions regarding screening revolve around their present health needs, priorities, and concerns. Explicit consideration of the potential practical and psychosocial burdens that bowel cancer screening may impose on patients in addition to kidney disease and current treatment is suggested to minimize decisional conflict and improve patient satisfaction and health care outcomes in CKD.

Building better research partnerships by understanding how Aboriginal health communities perceive and use data: a Semistructured Interview study.
BMJ open, 2016Co-Authors: Christian Young, Allison Tong, Simone Sherriff, Deanna Kalucy, Peter Fernando, Sumithra Muthayya, Jonathan C. CraigAbstract:Objective To describe the attitudes and beliefs of health professionals working in Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Services (ACCHS) towards the access, usage and potential value of routinely obtained clinical and research data. Design, setting and participants Face-to-face, Semistructured Interviews were conducted with 35 health professionals from 2 urban and 1 regional ACCHS in New South Wales. The Interviews were transcribed and themes were identified using an adapted grounded theory approach. Results Six major themes were identified: occupational engagement (day-to-day relevance, contingent on professional capacity, emphasising clinical relevance), trust and assurance (protecting ownership, confidence in narratives, valuing local sources), motivation and empowerment (engaging the community, influencing morale, reassuring and encouraging clients), building research capacity (using cultural knowledge, promoting research aptitude, prioritising specific data), optimising service provision (necessity for sustainable services, guiding and improving services, supporting best practice), and enhancing usability (ensuring ease of comprehension, improving efficiency of data management, valuing accuracy and accessibility). Conclusions Participants were willing to learn data handling procedures that could further enhance health service delivery and enable more ACCHS-led research, but busy workloads restrict these opportunities. Staff held concerns regarding the translation of research data into beneficial services, and believed that the outcome and purpose of data collection could be communicated more clearly. Promoting research partnerships, ensuring greater awareness of positive health data and the purposes of data collection, and communicating data in a user-friendly format are likely to encourage greater data use, build research capacity and improve health services within the Aboriginal community.

you know your own fistula it becomes a part of you patient perspectives on vascular access a Semistructured Interview study
Hemodialysis International, 2016Co-Authors: Camilla S. Hanson, Jonathan C. Craig, Matthew J Taylor, Jordan R Casey, David C H Harris, Allison TongAbstract:The success of hemodialysis depends on functional vascular access but such an invasive, semipermanent intervention can be confronting for patients. Vascular access complications are potentially life threatening and reduce treatment satisfaction and quality of life. This study aims to describe patient perspectives on vascular access. Face-to-face, Semistructured Interviews were conducted with 26 adult patients receiving hemodialysis with any form of vascular access at two dialysis units in Australia. The transcripts were analyzed using thematic analysis. We identified five major themes describing patient perspectives on vascular access: developing mental fortitude for access (accepting necessity for survival, self-advocacy, experiential confidence and competency, dependency on others, gaining vascular knowledge), device intrusiveness on the body (restricting normal function, finding compensatory solutions, bodily invasion, confronting appearance), inhibiting pain (aversion to surgery, persisting needle anxieties), exposure to dire health consequences (resigning to inevitable failure, anticipating serious complications, technological skepticism, wary of medical incompetence), and imposing burdens (generating additional expenses, encumbering family members). Patients with a vascular access rely on a precarious lifeline, which is confronting, intrusive, and burdensome. Some develop mental resilience to cope with the pain and invasiveness of vascular access. The results suggest that more attention to address needle anxieties, self-advocacy, lifestyle disruption, fear of complications, and concern for caregiver burden may improve treatment satisfaction and outcomes for patients on hemodialysis.

resistance to group clinical supervision a Semistructured Interview study of non participating mental health nursing staff members
International Journal of Mental Health Nursing, 2018Co-Authors: Niels Buus, Michael Traynor, Cynthia Delgado, Henrik GongeAbstract:This paper is a report of an Interview study exploring personal views on participating in group clinical supervision among mental health nursing staff members who do not participate in supervision. There is a paucity of empirical research on resistance to supervision, which has traditionally been theorised as a supervisee’s maladaptive coping with anxiety in the supervision process. The aim of the study was to examine resistance to group clinical supervision by Interviewing nurses who did not participate in supervision. In 2015, we conducted semi-structured Interviews with 24 Danish mental health nursing staff members who had been observed not to participate in supervision in two periods of 3 months. Interviews were audio recorded and subjected to discourse analysis. We constructed two discursive positions taken by the informants: Forced non-participation where an informant was in favour of supervision, but presented practical reasons for not participating and Deliberate rejection, where an informant intentionally chose to not to participate in supervision. Furthermore, we described two typical themes drawn upon by informants in their positioning: Difficulties related to participating in supervision and Limited need for and benefits from supervision. The findings indicated that group clinical supervision extended a space for group discussion that generated or accentuated anxiety because of already existing conflicts and a fundamental lack of trust between group members. Many informants perceived group clinical supervision as an unacceptable intrusion, which could indicate a need for developing more acceptable types of post-registration clinical education and reflective practice for this group.

Psychiatric nursing staff members' reflections on participating in group-based clinical supervision: a Semistructured Interview study
International journal of mental health nursing, 2011Co-Authors: Niels Buus, Sanne Angel, Michael Traynor, Henrik GongeAbstract:This paper is a report of an Interview study exploring psychiatric hospital nursing staff members' reflections on participating in supervision. Clinical supervision is a pedagogical process designed to direct, develop, and support clinical nurses. Participation rates in clinical supervision in psychiatric settings have been reported to be relatively low. Qualitative research indicates that staff members appreciate clinical supervision, but paradoxically, do not prioritize participation and find participation emotionally challenging. Little is known about these contradictory experiences and how they influence participation rates. Twenty-two psychiatric hospital nursing staff members were Interviewed with a Semistructured Interview guide. Interview transcripts were interpreted by means of Ricoeur's hermeneutic method. The respondents understood clinical supervision to be beneficial, but with very limited impact on their clinical practice. Neither management nor the staff effectively prioritized clinical supervision, which added to a downward spiral where low levels of participation undermined the potential benefits of clinical supervision. The respondents embraced and used alternative forums for getting emotional support among peers, but maintained that formalized supervision was the only forum for reflection that could solve the most difficult situations.
