Negotiating the postvention situation
Suicide is a leading cause of death. NHS workers, especially female nurses, have heightened vulnerability. Being impacted by a colleague's suicide can lead to increased suicidality. Postvention refers to support following a suicide. We investigated current, available postvention for NHS workers following a colleague's suicide and the experiences of staff who deliver it ("supporters"). Twenty-two supporters were interviewed, and data were analyzed…
Filling in the gaps
Health-workers are more likely to die by suicide than their counterparts in other occupational groups. The suicide of a staff member can be widely felt by colleagues, leading to complex emotional and cognitive responses. Exposure to suicide heightens the risk of dying by suicide. We investigated the impact of a colleague suicide on National Health Service (NHS) staff. Twenty-nine staff were interviewed; all participants were white British, and so…
A Method for Synthesizing Qualitative Data Sources in the Co-Production of Postvention Guidelines for the NHS
In this paper, we introduce a novel method for the synthesis of qualitative data and co-production in the development of evidence-based guidelines. The call for evidence-based practice in healthcare settings has been dominated by a focus on patient groups, overlooking the need for robust guidelines to inform the delivery of support or developmental interventions for staff members. We propose an eight-step method that brings together primary and s…
‘Imposter participants’ in online qualitative research, a new and increasing threat to data integrity
To the Editor, We would like to share the experiences we have recently had while conducting online qualitative studies. We believe people have contacted members of our research teams, offering to participate in interviews for a health study, who were not the people they initially purported to be. We reimburse participants to cover time and expenses for their involvement in research, with varying views on the complex issue of incentivization.1 We …
PreScribed (A Life Written for Me)
This paper includes the script from a research-informed, theater-based production titled PreScribed (A Life Written for Me), which depicts the life of a distressed General Practitioner (GP) who is on the verge of breaking down and burning out. The authors provide context for the collaboration between artist and researchers and report on the creative methodological process involved in the co-production of the script, where research findings were i…
The experiences of general practitioner partners living with distress
Doctors, including general practitioners, experience higher levels of mental illness than the general population. General practitioners who are partners in their practices may face heightened stress. In total, 10 general practitioner partners living with work-related distress were interviewed, and transcripts were analysed using interpretative phenomenological analysis. Three major themes arose: (1) extreme distress, (2) conflicted doctor identit…

A Qualitative Study to Identify Perceptual Barriers to Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) Uptake and Adherence in HIV Positive People from UK Black African and Caribbean Communities
To inform the development of interventions to increase uptake and adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART), we explored perceptions of ART in semi-structured interviews with 52 men and women from UK black African and black Caribbean communities. Verbatim transcripts were analyzed using framework analysis. Perceptions of ART could be grouped into two categories: doubts about the personal necessity for ART and concerns about potential adverse effe…
Analysing one dataset with two qualitative methods
General practitioners (GPs) in the United Kingdom are vulnerable to poor mental health. We conducted a qualitative study aiming to uncover barriers to help-seeking for this group. Forty-seven GPs were interviewed about depression, anxiety, stress, and/or burnout. Transcripts contained data of pragmatic and existential interest. We wished to explore data for breadth and depth, giving due recognition to participants’ complex accounts. Therefore, we…
Rebirth and change during a living donor kidney transplant
Transplantation is the treatment goal for patients living with End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD), and living donation is a suitable option for many kidney patients. Whilst some existing research has suggested that receiving a kidney can be more psychologically complex than donating one, previous work has tended to focus on donor rather than recipient experience. This case study uses interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) to explore the exper…
The Experience of Antiretroviral Treatment for Black West African Women who are HIV Positive and Living in London
A longitudinal interpretative phenomenological analysis of the process of kidney recipients' resolution of complex ambiguities within relationships with their living donors
Much previous research into living kidney donation has focused on the decision-making of the donor, despite evidence suggesting this may be a more psychologically challenging time for the recipient. This longitudinal study explores the experiences of four recipients of kidneys from living donors throughout the transplant process. Transcripts were analysed using interpretative phenomenological analysis. Three themes arose from the data, which were…
The Qualitative Manifesto
What are the prospects for those who engage in qualitative inquiry? The leading figure in the qualitative community, Norman Denzin, provides a call to arms for researchers in this brief, provocative book. Denzin asks for a research tradition engaged in social justice, sensitive to identity and indigenous concerns, brave to risk presentation in forms beyond traditional academic writing, and committed to teaching this to their students and colleagu…
Interviews in Qualitative Research
King, Horrocks and Brooks (2019) have provided a clear and helpful methods text, which is a hands-on guide for qualitative researchers.The publication makes the complex processes and intricacies of qualitative interviewing accessible without oversimplifying or losing the nuance and essence of what constitutes sound qualitative interview practice.The latest addition introduces a new contributor, Joanne Brooks.The second edition is longer than the …
