Women's experiences of living with adenomyosis and perceptions of the diagnostic journey: a scoping review.

Objectives: Uterine adenomyosis is a common gynaecological disease that can be debilitating. It is poorly understood and may be overlooked in clinical settings. A research gap exists as there are currently no published scoping reviews on perceptions and experiences early in the illness course.

A phenomenological study of resident and faculty experiences with learner engagement in the normalization of workplace-based assessment.

Background: Workplace-based assessments (WPBA) have become integral to learner-centred medical education. As previous research has linked learner engagement to WPBA implementation, this study explores residents' and faculty members' experiences with learner engagement in the normalisation of WPBA practice.

Methods: Transcendental phenomenology was used as the qualitative approach, focusing on the participants' lived experiences.

Women's experiences of the diagnostic journey in uterine adenomyosis: a scoping review protocol.

Introduction: Uterine adenomyosis is a benign gynaecological disease that causes physical and psychological problems, impacting on relationships. It is poorly understood and consequently may be diagnosed late. This protocol describes the process of conducting a systematic scoping review to retrieve and describe literature examining the daily experience and impact of living with uterine adenomyosis.

Oncology residents' experiences of decision-making in a clinical learning environment: a phenomenological study.

Oncology residents routinely engage in ethically complex decision-making discussions with patients, while observing and interacting with their teaching consultant. If clinical competency in oncology decision-making guidance is to be taught deliberately and effectively, it is necessary to understand resident experiences in this context to develop appropriate educational and faculty development initiatives. Four junior and two senior postgraduate oncology residents participated in semi-structured interviews during October and November 2021 which explored their experiences of real-world decision-making scenarios.

Twelve tips for using Pattern Matching in data analysis for qualitative medical education research.

Pattern Matching (PM) is a data analysis method used in qualitative research. This article outlines a step-by-step approach to using PM to analyse qualitative data through the example of the author's experience in its use for a master in medical education dissertation. The recommended twelve tips, outlined as steps to be used sequentially in the PM process are: (1) Assess if PM is a suitable technique for you and your research, (2) Consider alternatives, (3) Decide to proceed with PM, (4) Perform literature review, (5) Reflect about your experiences, (6) Define Propositions, (7) Collect your data, (8) Code data, (9) Match data to propositions, (10) Celebrate congruency, (11) Explain discrepancies and, (12) Discuss relevance and utility of findings in your context.
