Using a Realist Informed Qualitative Approach to Elaborate Programme Theory
Realist approaches to complex health care evaluations are increasingly used and recommended in national evaluation guidelines. However, there remains a paucity of researcher guidance on methods for elaborating and refining programme theories throughout the stages of a realist evaluation project-from prospective theory development to feasibility work, to full evaluation. We present a step by step worked example of a realist approach to elaborating…
Engaging Stakeholders in Realist Programme Theory Building
Dementia - Personalised Care Team' (D-PACT) is a five-year NIHR funded programme, using realist methods to develop and evaluate a complex, person-centred intervention for people with dementia and their carers. During the early project stages, we engaged with multiple stakeholders, including people with dementia and their carers, to develop an initial programme theory (IPT) - into an elaborated programme theory (EPT), by helping to uncover interve…
Clarifying realist analytic and interdisciplinary consensus processes in a complex health intervention
Judgemental rationality is infrequently referenced within discussions of Realist Evaluations. Judgemental rationality refers to researchers’ capacity to assess which, potential, meanings provide the most credible explanations. In evaluation work, rationale for analysis is provided, though rarely do we see how an evaluator made judgements between competing theories, and which theories were discarded and why. We provide a worked example of the appl…
