The lived experiences of discomfort in women with Crohn's disease: a hermeneutic phenomenological study
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Background: Discomfort in women with Crohn's disease is highly prevalent, even during remission. However, these women's lived experiences of discomfort are largely unknown. Aims: To explore the lived experiences of discomfort in women with Crohn's disease. Methods: Six women with Crohn's disease were recruited using purposive and snowball sampling. Semi-structured, audio-recorded interviews were conducted using Zoom and transcribed verbatim for analysis. van Manen's work guided the data analysis. Findings: Four phenomenological themes were identified: discomfort as an embodied experience, discomfort as a conscious experience, discomfort and social life, and discomfort as a way forward. Conclusion: Healthcare professionals and researchers can facilitate the recognition, impact and mitigating strategies of discomfort by acknowledging it as an essential phenomenon for women with Crohn's disease. Further research is recommended to understand better the experience of discomfort and its implications for women's quality of life and their social and therapeutic relationships.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
