“…It was also originally planned that all interviews would be face to face; however, a number of interviews took place via telephone for convenience of the informants. In order to address this possible variable, resources on telephone interviews were accessed (Wilson, Roe & Wright, 1998) (Boychuk Duchscher, 2012;Duchscher, 2008). The focus of this research was to identify strategies that assist with transition from student to NGRN.…”

“…It also supports the findings that the relative anonymity of telephone interviews may be more comfortable for participants when discussing personal and sensitive issues. 21,22 DISCUSSION This is the most extensive qualitative study to date that has purposefully sampled a consecutive series of individuals who have had predictive testing in young adulthood for one of several genetic conditions. The focus here is not whether minors should be tested for late onset conditions, but rather to identify the needs of emerging adults going through the predictive test process.…”

While debate has focused on whether testing of minors for late onset genetic disorders should be carried out if there is no medical benefit, less is known about the impact on young people (o25 years) who have had predictive testing often many years before the likely onset of symptoms. We looked at the experiences of young people who had had predictive testing for a range of conditions with variable ages at onset and options for screening and treatment. A consecutive series of 61 young people who had a predictive test aged 15-25 years at the Clinical Genetic Service, Manchester, for HD, HBOC (BrCa 1 or 2) or FCM (Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy or Dilated Cardiomyopathy), were invited to participate. Thirty-six (36/61; 59%) agreed to participate (10 HD, 16 HBOC and 10 FCM) and telephone interviews were audiotaped, transcribed and analysed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. None of the participants expressed regret at having the test at a young age. Participants saw the value of pretest counselling not in facilitating a decision, but rather as a source of information and support. Differences emerged among the three groups in parent/family involvement in the decision to be tested. Parents in FCM families were a strong influence in favour of testing, in HBOC the decision was autonomous but usually congruent with the views of parents, whereas in HD the decision was autonomous and sometimes went against the opinions of parents/grandparents. Participants from all three groups proposed more tailoring of predictive test counselling to the needs of young people.

“…Wilson et al (1998) discuss the 'pseudanonymity' achieved by telephone interviewing because of the loss of the visual channel and the corresponding effects this may have on respondents. In this study, the interviewer talked to a number of men.…”

“…It is generally accepted in the literature that the time permitted for a telephone interview will be shorter than for a face-to-face interview, with the telephone considered to be a more 'businesslike' mode of communication (Wilson et al 1998), a corresponding 'loss' of information being considered inevitable. De Vaus (1991) suggests that 30 min is the maximum feasible time for a telephone interview, although other researchers have found both shorter and longer times than this being taken (Ryan et al 2001).…”

Propriety, process and purpose: considerations of the use of the telephone interview method in an educational research study

2010

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

While the use of the telephone has increased as a means of collecting research data in a range of areas, there are few examples of studies where telephone interviews have been conducted to collect qualitative data. The field of educational research is no exception to this. This paper focuses on a study carried out in Higher Education (HE) investigating student withdrawal. It explores the ethics of interviewing by telephone a group of former students; issues that arose in the carrying out of the research, particularly relating to the quality of the data; and the impact of the study's purpose on its conduct. The paper discusses the value of telephone interviewing to collect qualitative data and offers some practical suggestions for future use.
