3De Experience Tool: Mapping facts and practice to develop (spatial) experiences (Moes, Schrandt, Manuputty, Admiraal & van der Mark, 2019), is in eerste instantie ontwikkeld door docent-onderzoekers en een oud-student van het Amsterdam Fashion Institute (AMFI) om studenten beter onderbouwde afwegingen te laten maken over inrichting van bijvoorbeeld metrostations, winkels maar ook tentoonstellingen. De toolkit is dus niet ontwikkeld in het kader van Designing Experiencescapes of De Tentoonstellingsmaker van de 21ste Eeuw, maar deze onderzoeken hebben wel een belangrijke inhoudelijke basis gegeven voor de toolkit en zijn dus zeer relevant voor de (toekomstige) tentoonstellingsmaker. Het doel van deze tool is om spelers te inspireren bij en informeren over het creëren van belevingen in (hoofdzakelijk) fysieke ruimtes. De tool is voor iedereen die geïnteresseerd is in het creëren van belevingen en met name interessant voor studenten die een beleving willen neerzetten, in welke vorm dan ook en professionals uit de museale en de retailsector die invloed hebben op het inrichten van fysieke ruimtes.

Objective To synthesise qualitative studies on women’s psychological experiences of physiological childbirth. Design Meta-synthesis. Methods Studies exploring women’s psychological experiences of physiological birth using qualitative methods were eligible. The research group searched the following databases: MEDLINE, CINAHL, PsycINFO, PsycARTICLES, SocINDEX and Psychology and Behavioural Sciences Collection. We contacted the key authors searched reference lists of the collected articles. Quality assessment was done independently using the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme (CASP) checklist. Studies were synthesised using techniques of meta-ethnography. Results Eight studies involving 94 women were included. Three third order interpretations were identified: ‘maintaining self-confidence in early labour’, ‘withdrawing within as labour intensifies’ and ‘the uniqueness of the birth experience’. Using the first, second and third order interpretations, a line of argument developed that demonstrated ‘the empowering journey of giving birth’ encompassing the various emotions, thoughts and behaviours that women experience during birth. Conclusion Giving birth physiologically is an intense and transformative psychological experience that generates a sense of empowerment. The benefits of this process can be maximised through physical, emotional and social support for women, enhancing their belief in their ability to birth and not disturbing physiology unless it is necessary. Healthcare professionals need to take cognisance of the empowering effects of the psychological experience of physiological childbirth. Further research to validate the results from this study is necessary.

The desire for new experiences that are truly authentic has become an important mainstream in the tourism industry. The main goal of this empirical case study was twofold: 1) To determine which concept of authenticity in tourism literature is most connected to Pine and Gilmore's theory on the search for authenticity in the context of the experience economy; and 2) after its application, to reflect on the scale of Kim et al.'s that measures memorable tourism experiences (MTEs). That scale was applied to Dutch tourists who visited the tourism destination Ylläs in Finnish Lapland during winter. This case study strengthens the idea that the increasing search for authentic tourism products within the experience economy does not imply a search for authenticity related to genuine artefacts alone. It also implies the search for constructed authenticity within existing, genuine places such as Ylläs. This outcome surprisingly fits Bruner's theory on genuine border zones and with that, asks for more large-scale research on the concept of authenticity in genuine border zones. Finally, based on the reflection of the scale, it suggests to do more research on different tourist types in relation to domains that influence the memorability of tourism experiences.

Purpose Parents with physical disabilities experience social marginalization, reflecting pervasive ableism and stigma. It is critical to understand their experiences related to parenting to develop targeted and supportive programs. The primary objective was to examine the extent of existing knowledge on parental experiences of physically disabled parents by conducting a scoping review of peer-reviewed qualitative studies. Methods Studies were included if they reported qualitative data on the parenting experiences of parents with physical disabilities and were published between 1990 and 2024. Medline, Cinahl, PsychInfo, and Scopus were used. A standardized data extraction form was developed and tested prior to data extraction. Results 25 publications (23 studies) met the inclusion criteria and were included in the review. These studies reflected the experiences of parents with diverse physical disabilities. Studies highlighted numerous aspects of parents’ experiences, including 1) Navigating a multitude of barriers and challenges; 2) Parent experiences with other family members (excluding their children): supportive and challenging; 3) Diverse parent experiences with non-family support persons; and 4) Adaptation, resilience, and positivity in disabled parenting. Conclusions Parents described adaptation and resilience in response to pervasive challenges. Rehabilitation programs that serve disabled parents should leverage the strengths and assets of the persons served.

This qualitative research note reports two neglected themes in research on virtual reality tourism experiences, i.e. its potentially addictive nature and temporary sense of isolation. Existing work on virtual reality tourism experiences has applied existing knowledge and theories and has solely tested how VR applications can positively mediate or moderate the tourist experience. This study adopted an inductive approach, analyzing contents of reviews and blogs, and consequently uncovered a temporary sense of isolation and the addictive nature of virtual reality as hidden themes within virtual reality tourism experiences. We stress the importance of further work on addiction and a sense of isolation in terms of their nature, role, and effects

Abstract: Experiences are becoming increasingly important in events and festivals, which are prime manifestations of the experience economy. However, research on event experiences has generally been concerned with economic impacts and visitor motivations [Gursoy, D., Kim, K., & Uysal, M. (2004). Perceived impacts of festivals and special events by organizers: An extension and validation. Tourism Management, 25(2), 171–181. doi:10.1016/s0261-5177(03)00092-x]. Few studies have attempted to operationalise and quantitatively analyse experiences, and there is no consensual definition regarding the essence of experiences [Walls, A. R., Okumus, F., Wang, Y., & Kwun, D. J.-W. (2011). An epistemological view of consumer experiences. International Journal of Hospitality Management, 30(1), 10–21. doi:10.1016/j.ijhm.2010.03.008]. This article develops an Event Experience Scale (EES) for event experiences. In this exploratory study the item generation and selection for this scale are presented in three phases: specifying the domain of construct and generation of items, item selection, and scale purification. An 18-item scale, comprising four dimensions – affective engagement, cognitive engagement, physical engagement, and experiencing newness – with satisfactory values for Cronbach's alphas (.83,.86,.86, and.87), emerged. Implications for theoretical and practical research are discussed.

Background: This paper describes the Co-Care-KIT, a reflective toolkit designed to provide insights into the diverse experiences of home-based informal caregivers during the delivery of care to a relative or loved one.
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the toolkit, including a custom-designed journal, tools for photography-based experience sampling, and heart rate tracking, which enables caregivers to collect and reflect on their positive and negative daily experiences in situ.
Methods: A 2-week field study with informal caregivers (N=7) was conducted to evaluate the Co-Care-KIT and to capture their daily personal emotional experiences. The collected data samples were analyzed and used for collaborative dialogue between the
researcher and caregiver.
Results: The results suggest that the toolkit (1) increased caregivers’ awareness of their own well-being through in situ reflection on their experiences; (2) empowered caregivers to share their identities and experiences as a caregiver within their social networks; (3) enabled the capturing of particularly positive experiences; and (4) provided caregivers reassurance with regards to their own
mental health.
Conclusion: By enabling capturing and collaborative reflection, the kit helped to gain a new understanding of caregivers’ day-to-day needs and emotional experiences.

This introductory chapter contextualises and reflects critically on the
emerging trends characterising the evolving social role advocated by museums in
society, with an emphasis on museum experiences as vehicles for change or trans-
formation. It looks at transformation by adopting a systemic perspective, anchored
in the transformative potential of the experiences that museums offer to visitors, and
then zooming out to turn attention towards the way recent changes in the socio-
political and cultural context reverberated in structural and functional changes inside
the museum and connected institutions and communities. The chapter is structured
along a series of questions, starting by unpacking a rationale for transformative
experiences and why they are worthy of attention at this particular moment (Why),
then focusing on what we mean by transformative experiences in the context of
museums (What), on particularities of design approaches and supporting technolo-
gies for crafting transformative experiences (How), and closing with reflections on
the meaning and significance of it all, for the museum, the visitor, diverse audience
groups and society as a whole (For whom and For what). The final part of the Intro-
duction then reviews these themes once again, narrating how they are woven in the
book narrative.

As the population ages, the proportion of frail older people is also increasing. While attention to frailty experiences has increased, how these account to a comprehensive understanding of frailty and its impact on behavior and functioning remains understudied. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to understand how frailty is experienced, and how frailty and frailty experiences affect behavior and functioning from the perspectives of Dutch community-dwelling older people. In this phenomenological qualitative study, we conducted semi-structured interviews with 36 community-dwelling older people (≥65 years). The ‘Tilburg Frailty Indicator’ was administered to measure frailty, 15 of the participants were considered frail. Thematic analysis revealed the following themes and subthemes: 1) frailty experiences: situation related, initiated internally, initiated externally, and being and feeling frail; 2) coping: cognitive efforts, behavioral efforts, and emotional aspects. The distinction between being frail and feeling frail was, among other things, reflected in the temporality of frailty experiences, such as short periods of moments in time experiencing frailty. Personal factors and contexts strongly influence an individual's experiences and multiple coping strategies were discovered, with mindset shaping individual coping strategies. We recommend a personalized approach in which the experiences and capabilities of older people are considered to support them in maintaining or enhancing their well-being.

Purpose: This paper aims to analyse the development of research on gastronomic tourism experiences and chart its relationship to foundational management and marketing literature as well as the tourism and hospitality field. Design/methodology/approach: The author develops a literature review of papers in specialist journals and the SCOPUS database to identify major research themes and the evolution of experience and gastronomic experience research. Findings: Gastronomy is an increasingly important element of tourism experiences. Gastronomic experience research in tourism mirrors the evolution in management and marketing theory from rational information processing approaches to emotional and hedonistic approaches and analysis of relationality and co-creation. The paper sketches a development from Experience 1.0 (producer-orientated) to Experience 2.0 (co-creation) to Experience 3.0 (foodscapes) in gastronomic experiences in tourism research. Research limitations/implications: Increasing complexity of gastronomic experiences requires a more holistic analytic approach, including more attention for relational and co-creational processes. Linking together different experience elements and experience phases requires more holistic and contextual research approaches. Practical implications: Hospitality organizations should recognize the differentiated and complex nature of gastronomic experiences, the different touchpoints within the customer journey and their relationship to experience outcomes. The development of hybrid gastronomic experiences offers both opportunities and challenges for the future. Originality/value: This quantitative and qualitative literature analysis underlines the need for a more holistic approach to gastronomic experiences, covering different experiential phases and contexts of production and consumption.
