Conversations on Future Care Preferences during Family Meetings in a Critical Illness Setting: An Empirical Discourse Analysis
Study Aim: To analyse conversations on future care preferences during family meetings in a critical illness setting.
Study Objectives:
To analyse the use of language by the doctors and the families during meetings on future care preferences for their patients in a critical illness setting.
To identify themes and patterns generated that share similar structure, meaning and context during these conversations.
Justification:
A very small number of studies currently available look at analysing the conversations surrounding future care preferences during family meeting in a critical illness. Furthermore, discourse analysis was not conducted in any of these studies making it a novel area of research.
Discourse analysis research involves the audio or video recording of social interaction (e.g. telephone conversations or family mealtimes), or the collecting together of textual documents (e.g. personal diaries or health promotion literature) and Discourse analysis is a useful methodological approach for researching medical education, which affords several viewpoints, including the relationship between language and power in society (macro), discursive practice in a social context (meso), and discourse structure and function (micro) and is a useful methodological approach for researching medical education, which affords several viewpoints, including the relationship between language and power in society (macro), discursive practice in a social context (meso), and discourse structure and function (micro).
