(250) ObjectivesMental health care for older people is primarily delivered in the community and is largely dependent on informal carers. Mental health policy encourages partnerships between carers and service providers to facilitate service access, coordination and positive experience of care. However, carers often lack information and support from services, with the potential for carer burden, and negative impacts on their own health and capacity to fulfil caring tasks. This paper explores rural carers' experiences of accessing care from a range of services for older people with mental health problems. MethodsThe Pathways Interview Schedule was used to facilitate nine in-depth care journey interviews with eleven carers of older people with a mental health problem. Interviews explored their journeys to and through mental health, aged care, primary care and social care services.Framework analysis was used to explore carers' experiences and perceptions of care with a focus on access enablers and barriers. ResultsCarers had a significant role in navigating services and operationalising care for their relative.Enablers to accessing care included carer knowledge and workers actively involving carers in planning. Barriers included carer mental health literacy, consumer and carer readiness for services, and worker misinterpretation of confidentiality and privacy laws. ConclusionCarers should be considered key partners in mental health care planning that crosses service sectors. For this to occur changes are required at the worker level, including increased communication between mental health workers and carers, and the service level, involving training for staff in interpreting confidentiality and privacy policy.

“…A conventional thematic content analysis was implemented, using a basic framework model to provide a structured step-by-step approach to systematic analysis of the data; this increased the robustness and internal validity of the study (Smith & Firth, 2011;Ward, Furber, Tierney, & Swallow, 2013). Data analysis was undertaken individually and subsequently collectively by a multi-professional research group to reduce bias and increase triangulation.…”

Birth after emergency caesarean section: Women’s perspectives on the factors influencing their decision making

The study explored the decisions women made in relation to mode of birth following a previous emergency lower segment caesarean section (emLSCS), particularly focusing on what different factors influenced women to choose a particular mode of birth and what they described as the rationale underpinning that decision.Participants were recruited from a population of students and staff within the School of Human and Health Sciences at a university in the north of England. Sixteen individuals were selected using convenience sampling, who then completed openended questionnaires. The questions were non-leading and asked the women to identify and expand upon factors that influenced their decision on mode of birth. Data were analysed using a basic thematic framework analysis.Many of the identified themes mirrored those well recognised in existing research: the woman's previous birth, her perception of risks, the influence of professionals and the influence of peers were all apparent. One factor not explored in existing literature, namely a sense of duty to existing children, appeared to be strongly influential in this data set. Interestingly, it was observed that each woman's philosophical framework and her relationship with the element of control substantially underpinned her consideration of key factors, leading her to an individual decision.This article provides an interesting insight into the complexity of individual decision making in maternity care. The findings highlight the fact that professional guidelines may fail to meet the personal and individual needs of their subjects. This is a thought-provoking topic for policy and guideline authors, as well as for the professionals who counsel patients through decision-making processes in maternity care and wider fields of healthcare.

“…It is particularly popular with some health professionals, possibly because aspects of the method contribute to the perceived reliabilityor dependability -of the findings; thus specific steps are followed and the data is coded by multiple researchers. For those interested in reading further, see the worked example by Ward et al [2].…”

“…Another term that you may come across is Framework Analysis [1,2], but rather than an implied philosophical approach, this is effectively a set of practical steps to carry out qualitative data analysis in a reproducible fashion. This data analysis method was devised to inform rapid development of social policy.…”

Using Framework Analysis in nursing research: a worked example

Abstract: Qualitative data analysis presents challenges in relation to the volume and complexity of data obtained and the need to present an 'audit trail' for those using the research findings. Framework Analysis is an appropriate, rigorous and systematic method for undertaking qualitative analysis.
