Background:The care process is often a complex and intimate process experienced by patients. Osteoarthritis (OA) care is usually characterised by multimodal interventions that consider the broader array of symptoms and functional limitations and often require a high level of patients’ compliance. Despite efforts to improve the quality of care of patients suffering from OA, and the publication of state-of-the-art clinical practice guidelines [1], the quality of the care process, as experienced by patients, seems to be suboptimal [2]. Hence, it is essential to investigate how patients experience this process to highlight potential elements that can enhance or spoil it to optimise the care quality.Objectives:To explore the patients’ experience of the received OA care process.Methods:Qualitative study, 10 semi-structured interviews were performed. The interview guide was created by a pool of healthcare professionals (physiotherapists, psychologists, nurses) and expert patients. It investigated the emotional experience, beliefs, expectations, perceived barriers and facilitators towards conservative treatments perceived by patients suffering from OA. The interviews lasted approximately one hour, were transcribed verbatim and analysed independently by two authors, who labelled their core parts to find categories and subcategories. A theme-based analysis was performed following an ecological paradigm, naturalistic epistemology, philosophy of phenomenological research.Results:Our analysis revealed 7 main categories with several subcategories (Fig. 1). 1) Uncertainty as some patients perceived treatment choice not to be based on medical evidence “there is an almost religious way of thinking on how to deal with the pathology. It is not an exact science when you choose the physicians you choose the treatment”. 2) Relationship with the self and the others as some patients did not feel understood or even shameful and hopeless about their condition. 3) Patients’ and Health Professionals’ beliefs about the pathology management where common thoughts were the perceived (ab)use of passive therapies, the movement as something dangerous and that OA is “something that you try to resist to, but (surgery) is your destiny”. 4) facilitators and 5) barriers of the adherence to therapeutic exercise that revolve around the cost of the therapy, the time needed and the willingness to change life habits. 6) Patients’ attitudes towards pathology in which the oldest patients perceive OA as “something I have to accept since I am getting old” and the youngest as “Something I have to fight”. 7) Relationship with food in which diet is seen as something that “you force yourself to follow” which is useful only to lose weight and not to preserve a high health status and where overeating is used “to eat your feelings”.Figure 1.Categories and Subcategories stemmed from the analysis of the patients’ interviewsConclusion:Patients suffering from hip and knee OA seem to experience an uncertain care process. The lack of clear explanations and the attitude towards conservative treatment, which is considered as “a pastime while waiting for surgery,” fosters the importance of providing patients with adequate information about the treatment, to shift their beliefs and improve their awareness. This will enhance a patient-centred and shared decision-making treatments.References:[1]Fernandes L, Hagen KB, Bijlsma JWJ, et al.

The functional value experience of family tourism has often been paid attention both by tourists themselves and the tourism industry, but the individual value experience of parents in family tourism has been neglected. Family tourism shifts the scenario of interpersonal interaction between families from home, the conventional environment, to a non-conventional one. This change in the interactive situation will inevitably bring about changes in interpersonal interaction behavior and individual perception, especially to tourists who take on the role of parents in a nuclear family. This study enriches the examination of the family tourism experience by exploring the interpersonal interaction, existential authenticity travel experiences, and quality of tourist experience perceived by parents in family tourism. The main findings are: 1) In the non-conventional environment of tourism, effective interaction between tourists and their families helps to improve tourists’ emotional experience and satisfaction; 2) Three aspects of existential authenticity are the internal causes of the impact of interpersonal interaction on emotional experience and satisfaction; 3) Differences in parental roles make important discrepancies between men and women’s perception of family tourism experiences. This study provides insights to understanding the family tourism market and brings valuable findings to the area of family tourism marketing and management.

Social interaction is an important way that we as humans connect with others. Socioemotional selectivity theory emphasizes the importance of close relationships, and Chinese culture attaches great importance to family members. As such, this study aimed to examine the differences in the quality of interactions that older Chinese adults have with close partners (e.g., children, friends, and relatives) as well as with other partners (e.g., neighbors, colleagues, and strangers) and to examine the association between interaction quality and emotional experience across these interactions. We collected data from 213 older adults over the course of 14 days. Results indicate that (1) compared to other partners, interactions with close partners are considered to be of higher quality; (2) in interactions with children and relatives, interaction quality is positively associated with positive affect (PA) and negatively associated with negative affect (NA); in interactions with friends and neighbors, interaction quality is only associated with PA; in interactions with colleagues and strangers, interaction quality is not associated with either PA or NA. Overall, interactions with close partners were shown to be considered to be of higher quality, and that the quality of interactions with family members was closely associated with emotional experience.

Abstract Dementia family caregivers are routinely enlisted as proxy assessors of care recipient quality of life (QOL). Proxy assessment is not ideal because proxy assessments differ systematically from self-assessments and the assessment process can elicit negative affect from family caregivers. Prompting adoption of the care recipient’s perspective can enhance assessment congruence and may improve the emotional experience for assessors. This study explored family caregivers’ cognitive and affective experiences during QOL proxy assessments made from both their own and care recipients’ perspectives. Thirty-six dementia family caregivers were recruited from senior service agencies. Subjects completed the Quality of Life-Alzheimer Disease (QOL-AD), Caregiver Version using standard instructions to assess QOL across thirteen domains of their care recipient’s life without specifying the perspective to be used. Subjects were next asked to repeat the QOL-AD with instructions to adopt the perspective of their care recipient, as they imagined it to be. Subjects were then interviewed about what they thought and felt during each proxy assessment experience. Content analysis indicated that spontaneous perspective shifts and response shifts frequently occurred. Most subjects (91.7%) reported changed thinking for one or more QOL-AD domains when they were prompted to switch perspectives. Over half (61.12%) reported changed affect when switching perspectives and 90.9% of those experiencing changed affect reported affective improvement. Little or no affective change was reported by 38.89%. Findings suggest awareness of perspective can enhance clinical interpretation of proxy assessed QOL and can inform clinical response to dementia family caregivers who experience negative emotions while proxy reporting QOL.

Children’s perspective is based on their own cognitive level in understanding objective things. The study of children’s perspective is a bottom-up research process under the premise of having a full respect for a child’s view. With the change of views about children in recent years, “children’s perspective” has become a new research direction. At the same time, teacher-child interaction, as an important means of evaluating the quality of kindergarten education, requires a bottom-up perspective from children. This study hopes to understand children’s emotional experience in the process of teacher-child interaction as well as their understanding and evaluation of their own experience by exploring their perspectives on the interaction, so as to better improve the quality of teacher-child interaction in kindergarten.

Worry about COVID-19 is a central topic of research into the social and economic consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic. Worry can be a negative and debilitating experience that damages mental health and discourages healthy re-engagement with the world, but it can also be a problem-solving activity, directing people’s attention to problems, and encouraging them to act accordingly. We present in this paper a way of measuring worry about catching COVID-19 that distinguishes between “functional fear” and “dysfunctional fear.” Drawing on work into fear of crime, our classification divides people into three groups: (1) the unworried, (2) the functionally worried (adaptive emotions encourage proactive behaviours to reduce the chance of infection) and (3) the dysfunctionally worried (quality of life is damaged by the emotional experience or taking ineffective or damaging precautions). Analysing data from two waves of a longitudinal panel study of over 1,000 individuals living in ten cities in England, Scotland and Wales, we find differing levels of negative anxiety, anger, loneliness, unhappiness and life satisfaction for each of the three groups, with dysfunctionally worried experiencing the most negative outcomes and functionally worried experiencing less negative outcomes than unworried. We find no difference between groups in compliance and willingness to re-engage in social life. Finally, we compare perceptions of risk (differentiating between likelihood, control and consequence) for each group, and find a difference between the dysfunctionally worried compared with functional and unworried groups. Our findings inform what sort of content-targeted messaging aimed at reducing dysfunctional worry might wish to promote. We conclude with some thoughts on the applicability of our measurement scheme for future research.

The International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP) defines pain as an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with potential or tissue damage or described in terms of such damage. Pain in patients with decreased consciousness is individual and needs to consider many aspects. Following the expansion pain definition according to the IASP in 2020, the inability to communicate does not exclude the possibility that humans experience pain. Therefore, a good pain assessment in patients with decreased consciousness can increase the value of disease management and improve the patient's quality of life both during the treatment period and after hospitalization. Because of the inability of patients with decreased consciousness to verbally convey their pain, this poses a challenge for the clinician. This literature review was aimed to describe how to understand the pain in decreased consciousness patients.
