Through a mother's lens: a qualitative analysis reveals how temporal experience shifts when a boy born preterm has cystic fibrosis

We present a qualitative case study of one woman's experience of bringing up a child with cystic fibrosis (CF), born prematurely, using interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA). This mother's existential account portrays time sequences for developmental milestones and synchronization of lifecycle events as atypical. Her perception of her child fluctuated radically; illness seemed to displace time, which collapsed with adversity. The temporal relations of CF and preterm birth are blurred at certain points. Although the challenge of compromised health may in some ways have promoted her son's development, his immature self-expression moved this mother towards an insider perspective of his experience. Cystic fibrosis is an ominous presence that demands respect even when the child is well. Anticipating the psychological impact of biomedical interventions can help to minimize trauma and maximize adaptation. Talking and play at transitional time points may assist the way parents and children assimilate temporal disruptions

Sandplay, clay and sticks:multi-sensory research methods to explore the long-term influence of childhood play experience on mental well-being.

In this contribution we discuss the advantages of using multi-sensory methodologies in our study into the long-term mental health effects of different kinds of childhood play space. Working with a small group of young people aged 16-21 years old; we used a multi-method approach including practical workshops where the young people took part in a day of woodland activities and artwork sessions. We argue that use of such practical methodologies is particularly appropriate in research with teenagers and young adults, helping to overcome their self-consciousness and supporting their need to explore and articulate memories, feelings and ideas
