“…This study has shown that whilst adhering to the principles and rigor of realist evaluation, the use of person-centred principles with their inherent critical creativity [ 52 ] is appropriate for data collection and can be threaded through a realist evaluation approach [ 91 ]. This paper, therefore, contributes to theory and research in the areas of both person-centredness and realist evaluation.…”

“…The methods used within the workshops and interviews were underpinned by person-centred principles CIP ways of working [ 7 , 8 ]. Person-centred approaches are both creative and critical [ 52 ], with creative methods offering a different way to explore the research question with participants as they enable deeper thought on the question being discussed [ 53 , 54 , 55 ]. Kara [ 55 ] claims that although associated with arts-based methods, there is scope for the use of creativity within traditional research methods such as oral interviews and focus groups, both of which we have found can be used in realist evaluation.…”

Realist evaluation provides a general method of evaluating the application of interventions including policy, legislation, projects, and new processes in social settings such as law enforcement, healthcare and education. Realist evaluation focuses on what about interventions works, for whom, and in what circumstances, and there is a growing body of work using realist evaluation to analyse interventions in healthcare organizations, including those using Lean Six Sigma improvement methodologies. Whilst realist evaluation facilitates the analysis of interventions using both qualitative and quantitative research, there is little guidance given on methods of data collection and analysis. The purpose of this study is to address this lack of guidance through detailing the use of innovative person-centred methods of data collection and analysis in a realist evaluation that enabled us to understand the contribution of Lean Six Sigma to person-centred care and cultures. This use of person-centred principles in the adjudication of identified program theories has informed novel methods of collecting and analysing data in realist evaluation that facilitate a person-centred approach to working with research participants and a way of making the implicit explicit when adjudicating program theory.
