Naming Themes in Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA)
In qualitative research, theme typically refers to an identified trend running through the data. Themes play a prominent role in interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) and may serve as a framework for presentation. Although comprehensive resources are available to guide researchers through stages of IPA analysis, there is far less information on specific strategies for associating a theme with a name or label for IPA, or for other qualita…
Adolescent Perceptions of Teen Suicide
Adolescent suicide is a growing public health concern. This research explores adolescent perceptions of suicide to identify potential focus areas for future prevention programming. This qualitative study utilized focus groups with 14 high school students. Thematic analysis was used to capture key concepts. Salient themes included: 'Deciding whether suicide risk is real,' which spoke to the challenge in interpretating suicide-referencing language,…
‘We learn how to dig deep and get through it’
Military personnel are subject to more intense and more frequent stressors than the general population, and demonstrate higher rates of some mental illness. Resilience may be an important protective factor but is variably defined, and resilience-building interventions reflect variable approaches and produce mixed results. We aimed with this research to complement existing resilience-building strategies and interventions by contributing deeper und…
Exploring the role of technology in youth and adolescent deaths by suicide using data from the 2017–2019 National Violent Death Reporting System (NVDRS)
Results of national survey data suggest adolescent females experience poorer mental health than males although adolescent males in the United States died by suicide at more than twice the rate of females. Suicide following technology restriction supports prior research suggesting the potential for technology addiction among adolescents. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
Recommendations for Secondary Analysis of Qualitative Data
Publications and presentations resulting from secondary analysis of qualitative research are less common than similar efforts using quantitative secondary analysis, although online availability of high-quality qualitative data continues to increase. Advantages of secondary qualitative analysis include access to sometimes hard to reach participants; challenges include identifying data that are sufficient to respond to purposes beyond those the dat…
A Qualitative Metasynthesis of Published Research Exploring the Pregnancy and Resettlement Experience Among Refugee Women
The number of refugees and asylum seekers throughout the world continues to increase, leading to increasing challenges in meeting healthcare needs of these individuals. Women’s antenatal health is of particular concern due to their vulnerability to sexual violence and the substantial proportion of refugees consisting of women and girls of or nearing reproductive age. The purpose of this qualitative metasynthesis was to integrate and interpret fin…
Considerations in Qualitative Research Reporting
Perceptions of Athletes in Disabled and Non-Disabled Sport Contexts
The term supercrip suggests extraordinary feats but is sometimes applied to any proficiency demonstrated by an athlete with a disability. This use of the term potentially undermines spectator appreciation for achievements of the upper echelon of disability sports participants. Prior disability sport researchers have suggested that a comparison of individuals’ perceptions of athletic heroes with and without disabilities has potential to help disab…
Student Versus Scholar
Grbich’s analysis text is marketed for beginners although it contains some content that may be more meaningful for those with prior exposure to qualitative inquiry. The content of the book might be viewed as a series of contrasts: serious versus humorous; decisive versus flexible; didactic versus experiential. While some content areas are covered in great detail, the role of transcription in analysis is minimized. Recommended use of this text is …
Characteristics of Lifelong Physically Active Older Adults
Most adults in developed countries fail to accrue enough regular physical activity to prevent or decrease the impact of chronic diseases associated with aging. I conducted semistructured interviews with 16 purposely selected older adults ranging in age from 53 to 70 years to explore the practices of successful lifelong adherents to physical activity. I used an interpretive descriptive approach to data analysis. My findings suggest that both socia…
Enhancing the Experience
This paper represents the third in a series of reports published in TQR in which authors explore students’ experiences learning to conduct qualitative research. Prior researchers have suggested that emotional and experiential elements of the learning experience are key for students learning to conduct qualitative research; the use of arts-based approaches may help address these priorities. We gave students in a conflict analysis and resolution de…
