  • Title: Grassroots efforts of Japanese women to promote services for abused women.
    Author: Hatashita H, Hirao K, Brykczynski KA, Anderson ET.
    Journal: Nurs Health Sci; 2006 Sep; 8(3):169-74. PubMed ID: 16911177.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this study was to identify and describe the personal experiences of six Japanese female volunteers who formed a support group to provide services for abused women. The interpretation of the women's stories also increased understanding about the process of forming and developing a grassroots organization to take needed action. The interpretive phenomenological approach guided the study. The findings illustrate that a group of community volunteers can identify and effectively address a significant social issue on their own initiative.
