Methodology
Procedure
The main aim of the research is to gather information regarding the journal on infectious
disease and its prevention and control. To analyse the research objective, qualitative data
approach has been used. It gives a detail analysis of the outcome (Almalki, 2016). An in-depth
and face to face semi-structured interview was conducted with Dr Ramon, who is a professor of
infection prevention and control at University of Sydney. Before starting the interview, the
written informed consent was obtained from the professor (Ryen, 2016). He was asked open and
broad end questions related to their experience and spiritual aspect of their lives. The process of
the interview did not include any sequence of question. The main aim of the interview was to
study the learning objective and clinical practice of the professor Dr Ramon. The interview was
audiotaped and transcribed, and data is collected.
Data analysis
To analyse the data, the phenomenological method is used where the interview transcript
was structured to develop a textural explanation of the involvement of the participant (Alase,
2017). Following the guideline firstly, the interview transcript was read carefully. Secondly, the
meaning unit, such as important statement given by the interviewee was highlighted and thirdly;
those meaning unit was integrated into the core theme where comparison of the different text is
made. The argument gathered is used to develop an understanding of the experience of the
participant (Eddles-Hirsch, 2015).
Interpretative phenomenological analysis of interview transcript
From the interview and data collected following theme are generated:

My interests in healthcare and health sciences
started developing since school as my
interests in biology was the most than all
other subjects.
I did my post-graduation in public health and
tropical medicine. After my completion of my
graduation, I did some work in the clinical
laboratories and at that time I felt in love with
the clinical microbiology from where I got the
motivation for taking care of patients.
The academic motivation for researching in
public health
The paper accepts journals about different
contexts and about a range of different things,
which can be related to clinical care, various
non-clinical aspects of care like different
policies and also topics related to health
economics.
The journal also supports what the needs of
patient care and even the responsibility of the
families are.
