“…Field supervision was conducted to assist the first author to reflect on the impact of her background on her interactions with participants and on her interpretive lens. Additional strategies to ensure quality included crosschecking coding and themes with the second author and maintaining a detailed audit trail (Emden & Sandelowski, 1999; Rodgers & Cowles, 1993). …”

Women’s Experience of Group Prenatal Care

et al. 2010

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Group prenatal care (GPNC) is an innovative alternative to individual prenatal care. In this longitudinal study we used ethnographic methods to explore African American and Hispanic women’s experiences of receiving GPNC in two urban clinics. Methods included individual, in-depth, semistructured interviews of women and group leaders in GPNC, participant observation of GPNC sessions, and medical record review. GPNC offered positive experiences and met many of the women’s expressed preferences regarding prenatal care. Six themes were identified, which represented separate aspects of women’s experiences: investment, collaborative venture, a social gathering, relationships with boundaries, learning in the group, and changing self. Taken together, the themes conveyed the overall experience of GPNC. Women were especially enthusiastic about learning in groups, about their relationships with group leaders, and about having their pregnancy-related changes and fears normalized. There were also important boundaries on relationships between participants, and some women wished for greater privacy during physical examinations.

“…The study and its findings are auditable: we have preserved research memos, data display charts, coding instructions, and documentation of our process for developing themes [ 18 ]. Cross-checking coding and themes added to the reliability of the findings [ 27 , 28 ]. Confirmability is achieved through the use of more than one data source and through maintenance of a reliable audit trail, both of which are described above.…”

The beginning of the end: A qualitative study of falls among HIV+ individuals

2018

Falls are an important concern for individuals living with HIV (HIV+). The purpose of this study was to understand perceptions of HIV+ individuals who had fallen regarding what caused their falls, prevention strategies that they used, and the impact of falls on their lives. Qualitative Description was the approach best suited to our study. We conducted in-depth interviews with 21 HIV+ individuals aged 47 to 71 years who had fallen within the past two years and who received care in a primary care/HIV clinic. Participants identified causes of falls as intrinsic (HIV, opportunistic infections, antiretroviral therapy, substance use, polypharmacy) or extrinsic (icy sidewalks, wet floors). Among those who felt that their falls could be prevented, prevention strategies included physical therapy and avoiding extrinsic fall risk factors. Some participants, however, felt that their falls could not be prevented. While some participants responded adaptively to falls, for many, the experience of falling was connected with deep feelings of loss and suffering. For these individuals, falls were understood to be “the beginning of the end” and a source of social isolation, changing family roles, diminished sense of self, and stigma.

“…Trustworthiness of the Delphi technique has been debated in the general and nursing literature. Keeney et al [ 36 ] and Powell [ 84 ] suggest that the Delphi technique should not be judged by psychometric criteria used for more positivist approaches, with several criteria proposed to evaluate trustworthiness of qualitative studies [ 55 , 85 – 88 ]. A common purpose among criteria is to support trustworthiness by reporting the process of study design and data analysis accurately.…”

Applying real-time Delphi methods: development of a pain management survey in emergency nursing

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The modified Delphi technique is widely used to develop consensus on group opinion within health services research. However, digital platforms are offering researchers the capacity to undertake a real-time Delphi, which provides novel opportunities to enhance the process. The aim of this case study is to discuss and reflect on the use of a real-time Delphi method for researchers in emergency nursing and cognate areas of practice. A real-time Delphi method was used to develop a national survey examining knowledge, perceptions and factors influencing pain assessment and management practices among Australian emergency nurses. While designing and completing this real-time Delphi study, a number of areas, emerged that demanded careful consideration and provide guidance to future researchers.
