Using Nussbaum’s central capabilities to understand caring for older people in New Zealand
In this article, we use the capability approach and Nussbaum’s list of essential capabilities to understand the experiences of people providing (informal) care for older people. Nussbaum’s ten essential capabilities were used as a template to analyse contributions to an online forum created for the research. The carers’ posts indicated they valued these capabilities, though, in some instances, struggled to achieve them in the context of providing…
A participatory journal/dialogue approach to narrative research illustrated using a study of informal caregiving
In this paper, we describe a participatory approach to data collection and analysis, illustrated by using a study of informal caregiving. Participants chose their own method of journaling their experiences of caregiving: they used written journals, photographs, or a combination of these methods to record their experiences. Participants reflected on and discussed the journal entries during regular telephone interviews with the researcher. Four par…
Caring for older people
Informal care evolves from an existing relationship with the care recipient. This study aims to understand the relational nature of such care. Six participants caring for a spouse or parent chose their own methods of data collection, including keeping a journal, telephone interviews or face-to-face interviews. Participants drew on personal narratives to reveal different identities, which included a guardian, a partner, a coper, and a campaigner o…
Online Research with Informal Caregivers
In this article we discuss the opportunities and challenges of using the Internet as part of an emergent methodology in qualitative research. Utilising a deliberative process of democratic enquiry, an online forum was used to identify important capabilities for the health of informal caregivers for older people in New Zealand. Recognising the difficulties associated with recruiting and interviewing informal caregivers, the study was advertised an…
End-of-life care for older rural people
This paper discusses the experience of caring for someone over 65, with a terminal illness, in rural New Zealand. The narratives from seven participants offer some contextual understanding of complex lived realities, potentially informing future rural EoL care and contributing to contemporary goals of positive ageing and dying well. Positioning themselves as carers, rather than as rural people, the participants speak about similar issues, with di…
