Capturing the emergence of change in complex systems
A wide range of evaluative evidence is necessary to capture change within complex systems as findings shape the form and interpretation of outcomes, how they are valued, and actions moving forward. The Atawhai study worked with primary health care professionals in a series of workshops to distil ways to make it easier to respond to family violence as a key determinant of ill health. This article describes three methods used to evaluate the emerge…
If we can imagine it, we can build it
Seemingly intractable or 'wicked' problems are often characterised by the complexity and uncertainty involved. However, these characteristics are not always accounted for within research design. How health care systems may effectively respond to intimate partner violence presents a complex research problem. Researchers have been challenged to account for contextual influences when responding to intimate partner violence. However, theoretical pers…
Engaging with Uncertainty and Complexity
Complex problems generate uncertainty. The number and diversity of interactions between different health professionals, perspectives, and components of the problem makes predicting an outcome impossible. In effort to reduce the uncertainty of intimate partner violence interventions, health systems have developed standardized guidelines and protocols. This paper presents a secondary analysis of 17 New Zealand primary care professional narratives o…
Advancing Complexity Theory as a Qualitative Research Methodology
Although complexity theory is increasingly used to explain and understand complex health-system behavior, little is known about utilizing complexity theory to augment qualitative research methods. We advance this field by describing our use of complexity theory as a qualitative research methodology to explore sustainable health-care responses to intimate partner violence. We outline how complexity theory shaped our theoretical perspective, concep…
