简要总结
The primary objective of this thematic analysis is to understand the experience of "Compassion Rounds" for patients, families, friends, and clinicians. The secondary objective of this study is to evaluate and interpret data to determine best practice recommendations for standardization and scalability.
详细描述
This research will be conducted as a Thematic Analysis. Participants will be recruited from those who take part in compassion rounds, including patients, their loved ones, physicians, chaplains, social workers, nurses, and other care providers.
Qualitative data on participants' experiences throughout the intervention will be collected and analyzed using thematic methodology. The data will be used to explain the psychosocial processes that influence participant experience and reported outcomes.
Qualitative methodology does not seek to verify hypotheses based on logical assumptions, as quantitative measures do, instead it is used to derive salient constructs directly from the data. This methodology allows inductive understanding of participants' social reality and perceptions of the treatment, resulting in explanations of how the treatment leads to outcomes and the identification of variables that may then be quantified for more generalizable study.
Semi-structured Interviews
Through semi-structured interviews, which will be recorded and transcribed, the researcher asks participants open-ended questions intended to elicit perspectives on their experience of compassion rounds, without limiting responses to pre-determined categories of interest. The following are examples:
