“…This study provides insight into factors that support optimal management and has constructed a framework for elucidating the process of becoming engaged in gout management. By understanding the entire continuum of patient engagement in gout management, healthcare providers, including rheumatologists as well as allied health professionals, can adapt care delivery to patients who require support in specific domains [ 45 ].…”

BackgroundPrior qualitative research on gout has focused primarily on barriers to disease management. Our objective was to use patients’ perspectives to construct an explanatory framework to understand how patients become engaged in the management of their gout.MethodsWe recruited a sample of individuals with gout who were participating in a proof-of-concept study of an eHealth-supported collaborative care model for gout involving rheumatology, pharmacy, and dietetics. Semistructured interviews were used. We analyzed transcripts using principles of constructivist grounded theory involving initial coding, focused coding and categorizing, and theoretical coding.ResultsTwelve participants with gout (ten males, two females; mean age, 66.5 ± 13.3 years) were interviewed. The analysis resulted in the construction of three themes as well as a framework describing the dynamically linked themes on (1) processing the diagnosis and management of gout, (2) supporting management of gout, and (3) interfering with management of gout. In this framework, patients with gout transition between each theme in the process of becoming engaged in the management of their gout and may represent potential opportunities for healthcare intervention.ConclusionsFindings derived from this study show that becoming engaged in gout management is a dynamic process whereby patients with gout experience factors that interfere with gout management, process their disease and its management, and develop the practical and perceptual skills necessary to manage their gout. By understanding this process, healthcare providers can identify points to adapt care delivery and thereby improve health outcomes.

“…Researchers have become more assertive about the contributions qualitative methods can make to understanding health and social issues and to shaping broader research agendas (Greenhalgh et al, 2016(Greenhalgh et al, , 2018Karimi-Shahanjarini et al, 2019;Lewin & Glenton, 2018;Munthe-Kaas et al, 2019;Parent et al, 2017). There are many factors that contribute to the continued vitality of the field, including the strong argument that qualitative research can and should form a part of evidence-based practice, and critiques of empirical methods highlighting the limitations of quantitative methods to understand complex health problems (Hjelmeland & Knizek, 2010;Morse, 2016Morse, , 2017Olson et al, 2016). Alongside this, critiques of randomized control trials (Krauss, 2018;Østerås et al, 2018) and meta-analyses (Esterhuizen & Thabane, 2016;Imrey, 2020) as the gold standard for evidence in health care have made space for qualitative researchers to stake their claim in generating knowledge to promote health.…”

Moving Beyond Text-and-Talk in Qualitative Health Research: Methodological Considerations of Using Multiple Media for Data Collection

et al. 2020

Qualitative researchers are increasingly making use of multiple media to collect data within a single study. Such approaches may have the potential to generate rich insights; however, there are also potential methodological challenges in simultaneously analyzing data from multiple media. Using three case studies from our work with women who had recurrent breast cancer in South Africa, we explore four challenges of using multiple media to collect data: (a) how to understand the repetition of themes (or lack thereof) across multiple media; (b) whether or not data collected from multiple media over a protracted period should be read as longitudinal data reflecting a dynamic process; (c) what impact using multiple media has on the participant–researcher relationship; and (d) how the medium may shape the data obtained. We propose that the value of using multiple methods lies in the opportunity they provide to understand how participants engage with the different media.
