“…Secondary analysis was used in this research as it has been shown to be beneficial in studies where: the issues to be addressed are of a sensitive nature, where studies are difficult to repeat, or where the relevant research population may be elusive [Fielding, 2004], which was the case in this research. Two primary datasets were available for secondary analysis and these were: [Sque M. 1996].…”

Brain death, whether it be brain stem death [UK] or whole-brain death [USA] is a prerequisite for heart-beating organ donation. Understanding how brain death is perceived by family members approached about organ donation, its significance to them, and if it is accepted by them, are, therefore important issues to explore as biomedicine expands the range of end of life technologies that blur the demarcation between life and death. To explore the concept of brain stem death and its meaning to family members the following research questions were posed: i) What does the diagnosis of death based on brain stem testing mean to bereaved family members who have been approached and asked to consider donation from a deceased relative, and ii) How do family members understand the concept of brain stem death. To address these research questions a secondary analysis of 28 interviews sorted from two primary datasets was carried out. The primary datasets contained longitudinal and cross-sectional interviews carried out in the UK with family members who had been approached about organ donation and agreed to donate their relatives' organs. Data analysis was guided by Charmaz's Constructionist grounded theory method and resulted in the theory of Paradoxical Death, a process whereby family members and health professionals engage in a series of practical and psychological activities aimed at rationalising real or potential emotional and cognitive conflict resulting from a diagnosis of death that is brain-based, whilst faced with the physical image of a functioning body.Rationalising emotional and cognitive conflict is how family members and health professionals appeared to process this paradoxical death, a death that is contrary to conventional opinion.

“…El análisis de datos secundarios implica, típicamente, el estudio de información recolectada en forma primaria (i.e. original) por uno o varios investigadores a lo largo del tiempo y que se organiza en bases, especialmente creadas con la finalidad de responder a interrogantes bien definidos que, generalmente, son diferentes de aquellos que inicialmente motivaron su obtención (Andrews et al 2012;Devine, 2003;Fielding, 2004). A partir de la información recolectada en 102 sitios arqueológicos georreferenciados se realizaron, mediante sistemas de información geográfica (SIG), dos modelos espaciales continuos (superficies continuas en formato raster).…”

“…Secondary analysis offers many benefits to researchers including the: generation of new knowledge from existing datasets previously analysed (Long-Sutehall et al, 2010); opportunity to apply a new perspective or a new conceptual focus (Heaton, 1998) in preparation for further research; enabling of training and development for novice researchers (Glaser, 1963). Furthermore secondary analysis is of particular ethical and economic value if the topic under investigation is of a sensitive nature (Fielding 2004), for example, family experience of death and dying.…”
