To Member Check or not to Member Check? An Evaluation of Member Checking in an Interpretive Descriptive Study
Member checking is an established technique in qualitative research that is intended to improve the quality and rigour of studies. However, recent debate about whether member checking achieves its intended purposes and the potential risk for unintended consequences creates uncertainty about its use. This generates confusion, particularly for those new to qualitative research. In 2021, Motulsky proposed five evaluation questions to guide researche…
Barriers and Enablers to Evaluating Outcomes From Public Involvement in Health Service Design
While health services are expected to have public involvement in service (re)design, there is a dearth of evaluation of outcomes to inform policy and practice. There are major gaps in understanding why outcome evaluation is under-utilised. The aims of this interpretive descriptive study were to explore researcher participants' experiences of and/or attitudes towards evaluating health service outcomes from public involvement in health service desi…
Digital Storytelling as a Method in Health Research
Digital storytelling aims to illuminate complex narratives of health and illness when used as a method in health research. Digital stories are three to five minute videos that integrate written and narrated stories with multiple aesthetic components. There is increasing interest in digital storytelling as a research method, yet there is limited synthesized knowledge about its use. A systematic review to advance methodological understanding was wa…
Ethical Challenges in Community-Based Participatory Research
Ethical challenges in community-based participatory research (CBPR) are of increasing interest to researchers; however, it is not known how widespread these challenges are or how extensively the topic has been explored. Using Arksey and O’Malley’s scoping review method, studies on ethical challenges in CBPR were mapped. Findings indicate that researchers continue to raise questions about ethics associated with CBPR. Our purpose in this article is…
Ethical challenges of community based participatory research
Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) has been proposed as an equitable, empowering partnership approach to collaborative research. International literature about the ethical implications of CBPR suggests a continuing strong interest in the topic. However, there is a notable lack of research that captures the experience of ethical challenges of researchers from different countries who engage in CBPR. The aim of this research was to addres…
Implementation of oral health initiatives by Australian rural communities
In this paper, we consider factors significant in the success of community participation in the implementation of new oral health services. Our analysis draws on data from the Rural Engaging Communities in Oral Health (Rural ECOH) study (2014-2016). We aimed to assess the Australian relevance of a Scottish community participation framework for health service development; Remote Service Futures. Internationally, community participation in planning…
Are the ethnically tolerant free of discrimination, prejudice and political intolerance
We hypothesized that the ethnically tolerant (i.e., people who are anti‐ethnocentric and score very low on a measure of ethnocentrism) would perceive people with extremely incompatible values and beliefs as out‐groups and would engage in discrimination, prejudice and political intolerance against them. Experiments among Australian citizens in Studies 1 ( N = 224) and 2 ( N = 283) showed that the ethnically tolerant perceived supporters of a messa…

Participation in rural community groups and links with psychological well-being and resilience
Our findings suggest that policymakers wishing to promote participation in rural community groups for health and well-being benefits may do well to encourage the development of particular characteristics within those groups, in particular equal-status relationships and a sense of influence for all group members
Community participation for rural health
An exploration of the longer-term impacts of community participation in rural health services design
Methodology or method? A critical review of qualitative case study reports
Despite on-going debate about credibility, and reported limitations in comparison to other approaches, case study is an increasingly popular approach among qualitative researchers. We critically analysed the methodological descriptions of published case studies. Three high-impact qualitative methods journals were searched to locate case studies published in the past 5 years; 34 were selected for analysis. Articles were categorized as health and h…
From experience to action in recovery-oriented mental health practice
This article reports on the development of critical subjectivity, in a cooperative inquiry study, which aimed to use principles of consumer participation to explore and develop recovery-oriented care in a regional mental health service in rural Australia. The development of critical subjectivity occurred when the lead researcher began to understand her role as an ‘insider’ in perpetuating dominant institutional culture through her work practices.…

Medical Dominance And Power
Whilst historically medicine has maintained a position of dominance and power within the health care system there are suggestions that contemporary social trends such as managerialism, proletarianisation, and the corporatisation of the health care system are resulting in challenges to medicine’s traditional power. In some countries, declining medical power has been attributed to increased interest in alternative health management, intraprofession…
