This month, Mengying Zhang presents realist evaluation, a methodology for evaluating complex interventions; and Xiaoyang Li presents on Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis, drawing on doctoral research exploring the lived experiences of caregivers of people with dementia in rural Chinese care homes.
This presentation by Angie Pitt, a PhD student at King’s College London, will explore the relatively new and sensitive phenomenon of impostor participants in qualitative research: those who fake or exaggerate their identities to take part in paid research. Angie will share her experiences from a recent qualitative study exploring adolescent attitudes to vaccines where around 80% of potential participants were judged to be impostors, largely adults posing as teenagers, and explore the questions this raised.
Are you feeling stuck or uncertain about how to handle ethical issues in your research? Are you grappling with ethical dilemmas, such as balancing power dynamics, navigating conflicting stakeholder interests, or ensuring genuine participation? The NIHR RSS KCL Hub, in partnership with Inspiring Ethics, is hosting Participatory Research Ethics Surgery Sessions to help you navigate and resolve ethical issues in your qualitative research.
This presentation by Dr Jonathan Skinner from Surrey Business School will examine the use of digital glasses in healthcare settings. It will suggest that point of view recordings can be used as a means of eliciting tacit knowledge in protagonists. These ‘confrontations’ with footage have been suggested to be pre-reflective responses in trainee scenarios from ward rounds to A&E simulations.
The NIHR Research Support Service delivered by King’s College London & Partners is hosting an online group session to help you navigate and resolve analysis issues in your qualitative research. Whether you need to develop an analysis plan ad hoc, or your initial qualitative analysis plan requires adjustment, our group session will get you back on track and help you to develop a post-data collection analysis plan.
Insights from creating an open access course, methods library and pilot support service: in this month’s QSIG, Emelia Delaney, Dr Lili Golmohammadi and Lana Samuels from the King’s Health Partners Digital Health Hub will discuss the development process behind the recently launched Co-design for digital health course, methods library, and complimentary pilot support service (one-to-one advice sessions and taster workshops on design co-methods).
Since October 7 2023, hundreds of Palestinian medics and healthcare workers killed or detained, all 12 universities in Gaza have been destroyed, and healthcare facilities have been decimated including at time of recording 20 out of 22 hospitals in Northern Gaza. Amidst this devastation, conducting qualitative and participatory health research presents profound challenges and moral dilemmas. This seminar explores the how Palestinian researchers have reacted and adapted.
Dr Steph Morris presents findings of a longitudinal qualitative study (January 2022-April 2024) with 47 UC claimants who reported mental and/or physical health conditions. She will reflect on the benefits and the challenges of using a longitudinal methodology to explore and disseminate such policy relevant findings.
Alex Mermikides will open with a brief overview of arts practice as research, an increasingly established methodology within arts and humanities research. She will then share examples from her own research, which uses performance-making to investigate medical experience.
Simran Sansoy and Isabelle Butcher, based at the University of Oxford, Department of Psychiatry, will present the methodologies the ATTUNE project has utilised to date. This includes creative arts practice data, such as animation, photography, dance, as well as quantitative data.
Reflecting on an approach that combines Video-Reflexive Ethnography, Experience-Based Co-Design and creative thinking: Dr Clair Le Boutillier will present her fellowship study that explores how creative methods and design collaborations can be used to inform the co-design of digital personalised care and support planning for adults living with colorectal cancer.
