Η παρούσα διατριβή επικεντρώνεται στην εκπαίδευση εν-ενεργεία εκπαιδευτικών σε έννοιες από το πεδίο της Νανο-Επιστήμης και της νανοΤεχνολογίας (ΝΕ-Τ) μέσα από τη διαδικασία σχεδιασμού και δόμησης μιας διδακτικής ενότητας. Μεθοδολογικό πλαίσιο για την υλοποίηση της έρευνας αποτέλεσε το Μοντέλο της Διδακτικής Αναδόμησης (Model of Educational Reconstruction MER, Duit, Gropengießer, Kattmann, Komorek & Parchmann, 2012). Ακολουθώντας τη φιλοσοφία του μοντέλου δομήθηκε μια Κοινότητα Μάθησης (Κ.Μ) στο πλαίσιο της οποίας πέντε εν-ενεργεία εκπαιδευτικοί (ένας Α΄θμιας και τέσσερις Β΄θμιας εκπαίδευσης) ανέπτυξαν μια διδακτική ενότητα σε έννοιες τις ΝΕ-Τ που ενσωματώνει κοινωνικο-επιστημονικά ζητήματα και διαστάσεις επικοινωνίας τηςεπιστήμης μέσω της δημιουργίας και παρουσίασης εκθεμάτων από τους μαθητές. Για το σχεδιασμό και τη δόμηση της ενότητας οι εκπαιδευτικοί συνεργάστηκαν με ερευνητές της Διδακτικής των Φυσικών Επιστημών (Δ.Φ.Ε), ερευνητές της ΝΕ-Τ και εμπειρογνώμονες από μουσεία επιστημών οι οποίοι και αποτέλεσαν ισότιμα μέλη της Κ.Μ. Τα ερευνητικά δεδομένα συγκεντρώθηκαν σε διάρκεια ενός έτους και περιλαμβάνουν ερωτηματολόγια, ημι-δομημένες συνεντεύξεις, βιντεοσκοπημένεςκαταγραφές των αλληλεπιδράσεων των μελών της Κ.Μ και το εκπαιδευτικό υλικό που ανέπτυξαν οι εκπαιδευόμενοι εκπαιδευτικοί. Για την ανάλυση των δεδομένων αξιοποιήθηκε κυρίως το Διασυνδεδεμένο Μοντέλο Επαγγελματικής Ανάπτυξης (Interconnected Model of Professional Growth, IMPG, Clarke & Hollingsworth, 2002), ως ένα ερευνητικό εργαλείο που επιτρέπει τη μελέτη των διαδικασιών μέσα από τις οποίες συντελείται η επαγγελματική αλλαγή των εκπαιδευτικών. Για τηνυποστήριξη της ανάλυσης σε αυτό το πλαίσιο χρησιμοποιήθηκαν μέθοδοι ανάλυσης περιεχομένου (content analysis) με βάση τις αρχές της θεμελιωμένης θεωρίας (grounded theory). Τα αποτελέσματα της έρευνας δείχνουν ότι η δυναμική της αλληλεπίδρασης των εκπαιδευτικών με τα μέλη της Κ.Μ μεταβάλλεται σύμφωνα με τα ενδιαφέροντα και τις προσωπικές τους ανάγκες στη βάση των προκλήσεων που προκύπτουν στις διαφορετικές φάσεις ανάπτυξης της ενότητας. Μέσα από αυτές τις αλληλεπιδράσεις εμπλέκονται σε διαδικασίες και μαθησιακές δραστηριότητες που προάγουν την εμπειρογνωμοσύνη τους για την ανάπτυξη εκπαιδευτικού υλικού σε έννοιες της ΝΕΤ, συμβάλλοντας στην επαγγελματική τους αλλαγή. Ταυτόχρονα, μέσα από τις προαναφερθείσες αλληλεπιδράσεις οι εκπαιδευτικοί λαμβάνουν εξειδικευμένη ανατροφοδότηση για διαστάσεις της ενότητας που αποτελούν για τους ίδιους μια εκπαιδευτική καινοτομία. Το γεγονός αυτό λειτουργεί υποστηρικτικά στην προσπάθεια τους να ερμηνεύσουν και να μετασχηματίσουν ένα νέο επιστημονικό περιεχόμενο σε περιεχόμενο προς διδασκαλία, υιοθετώντας διδακτικές προσεγγίσειςπου αντανακλούν τις σύγχρονες τάσεις της εκπαιδευτικής έρευνας. Υπό αυτήν την οπτική οι προαναφερθείσες αλληλεπιδράσεις επηρεάζουν τη διαδικασία σχεδιασμού και δόμησης της ενότητας.Λαμβάνοντας υπόψιν τα παραπάνω, η παρούσα διατριβή συνεισφέρει στην ερευνητική βιβλιογραφία που αφορά την επαγγελματική μάθηση των εκπαιδευτικών μέσα από την ανάπτυξη εκπαιδευτικού υλικού σε συνεργατικά πλαίσια για την εισαγωγή εννοιών σύγχρονων επιστημονικών αντικειμένων στη διδασκαλία των Φυσικών Επιστημών.

The aim of this article is to analyze the fears about menstruation and health that have been passed down to us by oral transmission from a gender perspective. A qualitative study, whose design was the Grounded Theory, performed in Seville, Spain, with 24 rural and urban women from different generations, young (18-25, 26-35 years), middle aged (36-45, 46-55, 56-65 years) and elderly (> 65 years). The semi-structured interview was used as a data collection technique. The discourses were subjected to content analysis, following the steps of Grounded Theory. The results highlight the abundant fears related to use of water during menstruation, with very harmful effects to health. As a conclusion to highlight the lack of women's knowledge about reproductive health and that despite Health Education campaigns there are still ancient misconceptions present about menstruation.

Although ample research has been conducted on the topic of community, there is still much research to be done on online communities. More specifically, there is a paucity of research on the topic of building successful Web 2.0 communities like YouTube—the top ranked Web 2.0 video sharing website. In this paper, a framework for Web 2.0 community success is proposed based on a theoretical review and an empirical study of YouTube using a dual approach consisting of content analysis and grounded theory interviews. The findings identify specific internal and external factors that are important for the success of YouTube as a Web 2.0 community. A framework of Web 2.0 community success is also proposed, which is useful in the planning and administration of Web 2.0 Communities.

Background: Advance care planning (ACP) is not well implemented in hospital. Implementation theory stresses the importance of knowing what hospitalised palliative patients and their families experience as barriers or as facilitators in the uptake of ACP with their treating physician. Aims: This study aimed to gain an in-depth understanding of what hospitalised palliative patients and their families experienced as barriers or facilitators for having ACP conversations. Methods: We used a tape-assisted recall procedure to conduct 29 videotaped interviews with hospitalised patients and their families. We used content analysis based on grounded theory principles. Results: Four major fields of tension were discovered: not knowing what to expect from the treating physician; not being sure the treating physician can be a trusted partner; daring to speak about ACP; and staying loyal to one's own wishes. Conclusions: Patients and families need physicians who are accessible and can be trusted ACP partners throughout the disease process.

Parent Concerns

Background: Parents with advanced cancer struggle initiating conversations with their children about the cancer. When parents do not have the tools to talk with their children, they silently watch their children attempt to navigate their illness but can only wonder but not know what their children are thinking. The objective of the current study is to describe, from parents living with advanced cancer, the worries and concerns parents wonder their child holds, but has not spoken, about the parent’s cancer. Methods: Twenty-seven parents with incurable cancer enrolled in a 5 session telephone intervention pilot study during which they were asked, “What questions do you have about what your child is thinking or feeling about the cancer?” Data were transcribed and inductively coded using content analysis methods adapted from grounded theory. Results: Analysis yielded 14 categories of parent concerns organized into 6 larger conceptual domains: Being Concerned and Scared about My Cancer; Worrying about Me; Changing How We Talk and Live Day-to-Day; Not Knowing What Will Happen; Having Unanswered Questions about My Cancer; and Understanding My Disease Is Terminal. Conclusions: Study results add to our understanding of the magnitude of the emotional burden parents with advanced cancer carry as they struggle to balance their diagnosis and treatment and their life as parents.

AbstractObjective:Many people experience an ongoing relationship with a deceased loved one. This is called a “continued bond.” However, little is known about the adolescent experience with continued bonds once a parent has died. This study describes three ways that adolescents continue their relationship with a parent after that parent's death.Method:Individual semistructured interviews were conducted with nine adolescent children of deceased hospice patients from a large hospice in northeastern Ohio as part of a larger grounded-theory study. The interviews were audiotaped, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed using a conventional content analysis approach.Results:Adolescents continued their bonds with deceased parents in one of three ways: experiencing encounters with the deceased parent, listening to the inner guide of the parent, and keeping mementos to remind them of the parent.Significance of results:The ways that the adolescents continued their bond with a deceased parent assisted them in creating meaning out of their loss and adjusting to life without that parent. Our results can be used by health professionals and parents to help adolescents after a parent has died.

The study examined the effects of psychological response and gender on coping with late life widowhood. Forty-six men and 46 women (55 years +) were interviewed about their experiences of widowhood. Participants were classified as to whether they were coping well or less well. Data were analyzed using grounded theory, content analysis, and three-way loglinear analyses. Loglinear analyses revealed three-way interactions for Gender, Coping, and Response. Men who report feeling upset or selfish are more likely to be coping, as are women who report being comfortable alone. There were two-way interactions between Coping and Response and Gender and Response. Participants who talk to their dead spouse are more likely to be coping than those who do not. Those who “keep themselves to themselves” are more likely not to be coping than those who do not. Gender differences were found in psychological response. Differences were also found between those who coped and those who coped less well. The study has enabled the synthesis of quantitative and qualitative data to present a more complete view of late life widowhood than has previously been possible. In addition, the article draws attention to the importance of distinguishing between the effects of bereavement and those of widowhood.

Abstract Background Being in the frontline of the battle against COVID-19, nurses need to be capable of stress management to maintain their physical and psychological well-being in the face of a variety of stressors. The present study aims to explore the challenges, strategies, and outcomes of stress management in nurses who face and provide care to COVID-19 patients. Methods The present study is a qualitative descriptive work that was conducted in teaching hospitals affiliated with Shiraz University of Medical Sciences, Iran, from June 2020 to March 2021. Fourteen nurses who were in practice in units assigned to COVID-19 patients were selected via purposeful sampling. Data were collected through semi-structured, individual interviews conducted online. The collected data were analyzed using MAXQDA 10 according to the conventional content analysis method suggested by Graneheim and Lundman. Results The data collected in the interviews resulted in 14 subcategories under 4 main categories: providing care with uncertainty and anxiety, facing psychological and mental tension, creating a context for support, and experiencing personal-professional growth. Conclusions Despite their concern over contracting the infection and transmitting it to their families, nurses feel compelled to provide professional care to patients under all circumstances. Work overload and working in exhausting conditions lead to nurses’ physical and psychological burnout, thus their need for the support of authorities and their families. Based on the nurses’ experiences, the primary outcomes of caring for COVID-19 patients are personal growth and professional empowerment.
