Abstract

To understand the application of Intersectionality theory in conducting qualitative interpretative research on exploring inequalities and discriminatory healthcare practices towards marginalized communities. Method: Narrative Review. Data Sources: Systematic Literature search. Findings: Qualitative research on exploring discriminatory healthcare practices towards marginalized communities requires a research methodology that is practice-oriented and flexible in using theoretical knowledge. The theory of intersectionality exposes how socially constructed identities are intertwined with discriminatory healthcare practices toward marginalized communities. On the other hand, Interpretative Description (ID) is a clinical-based qualitative methodology that aims to identify gaps in healthcare and nursing practices and create evidence-based interventions to address such gaps. Using intersectionality with ID methodology allows researchers to identify discriminatory healthcare practices towards racialized communities and create resources to provide equalized care to marginalized communities. Conclusion: The theory of Intersectionality provides theoretical scaffolding to understand the impact of power, race, and social identities on marginalized populations. Using ID with intersectionality theory will be a novel approach to conducting research on marginalized communities and identifying ways to address the inequalities in nursing and healthcare practices.

Abstract

This descriptive-qualitative study delves into the multifaceted perceptions of the Tboli indigenous community regarding the establishment of the Bansada Agri-Eco Adventure Park in Titulok, Bangumbayan, Sultan Kudarat. Through in-depth interviews and thematic analysis, the research elucidates the diverse viewpoints encapsulating cultural significance, land contribution, economic prospects, environmental concerns, and community interactions. Ten purposively selected participants voiced a profound pride in showcasing their cultural heritage at the park, seeing it as a platform to preserve traditions and educate visitors about their ancestral practices. Their contributions to ancestral land were deeply intertwined with a sense of responsibility and cultural legacy. Economic empowerment emerged prominently, reflecting transformative shifts in livelihoods and economic prospects for the community, while environmental concerns underscored the delicate balance between development and conservation. Moreover, community interactions highlighted the pivotal role of the Tboli's engagement in decision-making processes, cultural integration within park initiatives, and their emphasis on sustainable development practices. Despite these insights, limitations in sample size, long-term impact assessment, and contextual generalizability were identified. This study offers valuable insights into the complex interplay between indigenous perceptions and local development initiatives, underscoring the need for culturally sensitive, inclusive, and sustainable approaches in such endeavors.

Abstract

Freelancing has been assumed as a possible remedy for unemployment by the Bangladeshi youth for some time now. This research is conducted to investigate the profession of a freelancer in Bangladesh and focuses on the motivational stages undergone by freelancers and their plans. Moreover, the study attempts to explain to what extent the needs of freelancers are satisfied from the standpoint of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs theory. For this purpose, a qualitative methodology i.e., phenomenology is used. Fifteen respondents working in different parts of the capital city took part in the interview for this study.  The study has demonstrated that an overwhelming majority of the respondents acknowledged it as an opportunity at first that gradually helps to develop an entrepreneurial mindset. One striking feature of the findings, however, is that freelancing may be a solution provisionally but not in the long run due to unfulfilled dimensions of the need theory. A few directions for future works are also suggested in this regard.

Abstract

Studies have identified various factors that determine marital satisfaction. However, there is still a scarcity of studies that focus on the factors influencing marital satisfaction. Most previous studies have focused on deficit factors rather than strengthening factors, indicating a knowledge gap regarding factors that positively contribute to marital satisfaction. This study aimed to identify the factors influencing marital satisfaction from the perspective of married individuals in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions (FGDs) were used as data collection techniques. The data was collected from 15 participants. The study uncovered key factors that contribute to marital satisfaction. The findings include views about marriage, readiness for marriage, caring behavior, integrity, patience, and religiousness. Marriage practitioners, policymakers, and social workers could benefit from this study. The limitations and future directions were also discussed.

Abstract

Green criminology is a multidisciplinary field that seeks to explain the relationship between crime and geography. Bangladeshi criminologists and crime preventionists are increasingly conscious of crime-location relationships. This study aims to explore with a new eye the lifestyle of the people of haor areas to find out the root causes of crimes and the challenges of policing in haors areas as well. This study is conducted based on the qualitative approach. The study employed an in-depth interview strategy and focus group discussions (FGDs) to gather information. The findings of the study reveal that the main causes for crime in hoar areas include economic insolvency, lack of education, detached communication system, lack of steady employment, lack of adequate land survey, and pedigree contention within families. The result also shows that the police of hoar areas face difficulties in performing their duties due to poor communication, lack of manpower, political influence, inadequate logistics, and modern weapons. It is essential to study this topic to identify the relationship between geography and crime, which will help to control the crime rate in hoar areas through an effective and modern policing system.

Abstract

Rural students encounter unique obstacles as they pursue higher education. Knowledge of such obstacles can be valuable to stakeholders seeking to prepare, recruit, and retain rural students. This interpretive case study sought to understand postsecondary college pathways from the perspectives of nine participants who attended rural high schools in Appalachia, specifically the Upper Cumberland region of Tennessee, and earned a postsecondary degree. Through analysis of face-to-face interviews, researchers found that family and teachers were significant in rural students’ guidance and academic success, yet most participants noted a lack of support from high school administrators and counselors. Some participants said their schools failed to prepare them for college, and most said they lacked study skills, yet most participants had access to dual credit, and all participants succeeded in college. Participants’ pride in their rural roots led most to return to their hometowns after college. The study demonstrates the need for better college and career counseling from rural students’ school leadership and for more diverse experiences while still in high school to help prepare rural students for college.

Abstract

The entrepreneurship intentions of agro-pastoral entrepreneurs and those in training in colleges of agriculture in Cameroon are not well understood. This is due to the paucity of data on their motivations for enrolment in the agricultural entrepreneurship course, their propensity to create agricultural enterprises upon completion of the training, and the difficulties they face in creating their enterprises. A case study of the Regional College of Agriculture, Bambili in the Northwest region of Cameroon was conducted during which, open-ended questionnaires were administered to individuals and focus groups. The data collected were analyzed using the thematic framework. Themes emerged on the various categories of information sought. The study revealed that youths are motivated mainly by perceived opportunities to take agricultural entrepreneurship training. Entrepreneurs have positive intentions to create agricultural enterprises post-training, however, they are constrained by difficult access to land, limited finances, unsupportive laws, and complex bureaucratic procedures for enterprise creation. Government land reforms, the pursuit of the strategy on inclusive financing and the easing of procedures for registration of enterprises will incentivise trained entrepreneurs to create formal agricultural enterprises. Further research in agricultural colleges in other agroecological zones will consolidate the understanding of the intentions of youths who take entrepreneurship training and elicit informed decisions from policymakers.

Abstract

Biomass energy, employed for centuries as a fuel in developing nations, stands as the longest-standing energy source still actively employed by humans today. Nigeria has an abundance of different biomass energy sources, with many of them remaining untapped and undeveloped across various levels. Despite its widespread availability throughout the nation, policies aimed at enhancing its utilization have received limited attention. Several obstacles hindering Nigeria's adoption of biomass energy need to be eliminated for it to develop to reach the levels observed in some developed nations. This paper examined empirical studies to assess the factors that shape the Nigerian biomass energy adoption and policies. The study explored a total of 16 articles on biomass utilization and summative content analysis was used to analyze them. The results indicate that political, economic, and technological factors have influenced Nigeria's biomass energy adoption and policy. This calls for a need to address these multifaceted challenges to promote the sustainable use of biomass as an energy source. This aligns with the seventh goal of the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), emphasizing affordable and clean energy.

Abstract

This article advocates for the integral role of qualitative research in criminology, emphasizing its capability to delve into the nuanced and complex experiences of outliers, such as criminals and victims, whose behaviors and experiences significantly deviate from societal norms. It argues that traditional quantitative methods, while useful for identifying broad patterns and trends, often fall short in capturing the depth of human behavior and the intricacies of social problems. Qualitative methods, including in-depth interviews, ethnography, and case studies, are presented as essential tools for uncovering the motivations, emotions, and social contexts underlying criminal actions and the impact of crime. The article highlights the limitations of quantitative research in dealing with outliers and the dynamic nature of human behavior, underscoring the importance of qualitative approaches in providing a richer, more contextualized understanding of crime and victimization. Through a series of case studies and methodological discussions, it demonstrates how qualitative research enriches criminological inquiry, offering critical insights that are instrumental for theoretical advancement and the development of effective criminal justice policies. The conclusion calls for an integrated approach to criminological research that values the complementary strengths of both qualitative and quantitative methods, fostering a more comprehensive and nuanced understanding of crime and its impacts on society.
