Navigating Crisis: A Qualitative Exploration of Parents\u27 Journeys with Suicidal Adolescents in Australian Emergency Departments
No full textRates of emergency department (ED) presentations for suicide crisis (thoughts, feelings, plans and behaviours) in adolescents are increasing. Parents play a key role in supporting adolescents during and after the ED presentation, however little is known about parental experiences in the ED. Interviews with 20 parents from across Australia were undertaken to help understand this experience. A reflexive thematic analysis was conducted, resulting in three themes which explore the impact of the suicide crisis and ED presentation on the parents’ sense of identity. First, parents’ identity was threatened as they were faced with the juxtaposition between the role of protector and possible suicide death. Second, parents struggled with understanding their identity in the ED context, in which they were prevented from acting as primary carer of their child. Finally, parents’ identity transitioned after hospital discharge, as they altered their lives to accommodate constant monitoring of their child for fear of resurgence of the suicide crisis. Parents feel unsupported during this time yet are expected to provide life preserving care to their adolescent. More research is necessary to help us understand how parents can be better supported, and in turn, are better able to support their adolescent
Teachers\u27 Knowledge and Understanding of Physical Literacy in Physical Education Learning: A Phenomenological Approach
No full textThis study explores the knowledge and understanding of elementary school physical education (PE) teachers regarding the concept of physical literacy (PL) through a phenomenological approach. PL encompasses fundamental movement skills, as well as the knowledge, motivation, and confidence necessary for lifelong participation in physical activities. Ten PE teachers with over 10 years of teaching experience were selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected via in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation, and analyzed using inductive content analysis with the aid of ATLAS.ti software. The findings reveal that many teachers hold misconceptions about PL, often prioritizing the mastery of physical abilities while overlooking critical motivational and cognitive aspects essential for fostering sustained engagement in physical activities. The implementation of PL within the Merdeka Curriculum is found to be suboptimal, hindered by insufficient support and training from schools and policymakers. This study highlights the need for targeted professional development programs to enhance teachers\u27 comprehensive understanding and application of PL. Such initiatives can help create more inclusive, holistic, and meaningful PE learning experiences for students. The study recommends the development of supportive policies for PE teachers, focusing on competency development and training, to promote the sustainable integration of PL in elementary schools, thereby improving the quality of PE and encouraging lifelong student participation in physical activities
