This paper reports on the early stages of a qualitative research project jointly supervised by Northern Women's Community Health Centre and the Univerity of Adelaide. The study uses a feminist framework to focus on the extent of motherblaming in various types of abuse, identifying motherblaming as a strategy rather than a by-product of abuse, and examining how systems and professionals have perpetuated this phenomenon. The project stemmed from the experiences of women attending the Centre, and the lack of acknowledgement of their experiences in mainstream practice. The research method includes semi-structured interviews with a small number of mothers and survivors of abuse, and this report uses material derived from these interviews to identify the tactics and effects of motherblaming. Suggestions are made for the development of programs and practice models that will address women's and children's needs in these situations.

It is becoming increasingly important for the community health sector to provide evidence of practice and program effectiveness. Unfortunately many community health centres do not have the capacity to provide such evidence and require the implementation of innovative changes within their organisation to develop their capacity to conduct research and evaluation. In this paper we present our project in which we utilised Donald Ely’s model to build research and evaluation capacity in a community health centre. We utilised a qualitative research method that incorporated a co-operative inquiry action research design. Qualitative research methods incorporated data from semi-structured interviews, observations and the recording of relevant meetings. The data were analysed by means of thematic analysis. We found that to successfully build research and evaluation capacity entails the application of a model that is capable of not only addressing significant issues in implementation but that can also identify the conditions within an organisation that are important to achieve change. Ely’s Conditions for Change model was most appropriate to implement the necessary changes.

AbstractTeacher self-efficacy has been abundantly studied. However, it seems that the consequences of teachers’ self-efficacy have not been appropriately explored yet. The research objective was to investigate the consequences of teachers’ teaching self-efficacy. The researchers used a qualitative research method. They collected the data through semi-structured interviews with 20 EFL teachers who were selected through purposive sampling. The interviews were content analyzed thematically. Findings showed that self-efficacy has different consequences: pedagogical, learner-related, and psychological. Each consequence has several sub-categories. It is concluded that high self-efficacy affects teachers’ teaching practices, learners’ motivation, and achievement. It also affects teachers’ burn-out status, psychological being, as well as their job satisfaction. The findings can be theoretically and pedagogically important to EFL teachers, teacher-trainers, and administrators of educational settings.

This paper explores self-plagiarism in three different articles that reported results of the same research project on reading in a foreign language. This article follows the qualitative research method and an exploratory case study was used. Results support that both inadequate paraphrasing and adequate paraphrasing were given. Regarding inadequate paraphrasing some similar words and ideas were found. On the other hand, using different authors in a specific idea, having different numbers of words in a common issue, and being versatile to present information might lead to adequate paraphrasing. Conclusions suggest that a dialog between editors and authors must be given in order to clear self-plagiarism up. Finally, conclusions also suggest that editors should consider the inclusion of some similar information in articles written by the same author or the same research members

Background: Professional nurses employed in trauma units encounter numerous stressors in their practice environment. They use different strategies to cope with this stress, including venting traumatic information to their partners and other family members. Aims: To describe how partners of professional nurses cope with traumatic information being vented to them. Methods: A qualitative research method with an interpretive descriptive inquiry design was used to explore, interpret and describe the coping experiences of the nurses’ partners. Purposive sampling was used to select a total of 14 partners, but only ten participated in semi-structured interviews. Tesch’s eight steps of open coding were used for data analysis. Results: Four main themes were identified indicating adaptive and maladaptive coping skills, namely partners’ experiences of traumatic information vented to them; partners’ coping activities; reciprocal communication and relationship support between partners and nurses; and resilience of partners to deal with the nursing profession. Conclusion: Partners employed different ways to cope with traumatic information. It was essential for partners and nurses to be supported by nurses’ practice environments and to develop resilience to fulfil reciprocal supportive roles in their relationships.
