Nursing students' and faculty members' experiences
of online education during COVID-19 across
Southeast Asia: A Photovoice study

Qualitative approaches aim to explore participants’
experiences to gain deeper understanding, and this
study explored the online education experiences of
nursing students and faculty members during the
COVID-19 pandemic using the Photovoice approach
and thematic analysis of the data. Participants from
across Southeast Asia submitted a photo along with a
written reflection and from this data. The researchers
uncovered three overarching themes and eleven
related sub-themes. Three key themes that were
identified included the psychological roadblocks to
online education; developing resilience despite
adversities; and online education: what worked and
what did not. This study was part of a larger international
study on the impact of COVID on nursing education

Factors explaining quality of life in people with kidney
transplant: A cross-sectional study

To better understand the factors influencing kidney
transplant patients’ quality of life, Assistant Professor
Dr. Lalida Noppakun designed this cross-sectional
study which utilized the Common-Sense Model of
Illness Representations as its framework. Illness
representation refers to how people perceive their
experience with illness. Findings indicated that most
of the illness representation dimensions were signifi-
cantly negatively associated with quality of life.
Results such as these highlight the importance of
nursing staff in developing interventions which can
positively affect quality of life in people who have had
kidney transplants using self-management, positivity
in controlling threats to health, and reduction of nega-
tive emotional illness representations. Pacific Rim
