In this article, the authors analyze participants' accounts of why they took part in a repeat-interview study exploring newly diagnosed patients' perceptions of diabetes service provision in Lothian, Scotland. The study involved three semistructured in-depth interviews with each patient (N = 40), which spanned a year. The authors provide a thematic discursive analysis of responses to the question, Can I ask you what made you decide to part in the study and why you've stayed involved over the past year? The main themes are (a) recruitment within health contexts ("the nurse said it would help"), (b) altruism ("if it can help somebody"), (c) qualitative research being seen as inherently innocuous ("nothing to lose"), and (d) therapeutic aspects of interviewing ("getting it off my chest"). The analysis contributes both to the qualitative literature about generic research participation and to a germinal literature exploring qualitative health research participation.
在本文中，作者分析了参与者对于他们参与一项重复访谈研究的原因的叙述，该研究旨在探索苏格兰洛锡安地区新诊断患者对糖尿病服务提供的看法。该研究对每位患者（N = 40）进行了三次半结构化深度访谈，历时一年。作者对“我能问一下是什么让您决定参与这项研究以及在过去一年里您为什么一直参与其中？”这个问题的回答进行了主题话语分析。主要主题包括：（a）在健康环境中的招募（“护士说这会有帮助”），（b）利他主义（“如果能帮助到某人”），（c）定性研究被视为本质上无害（“没什么可损失的”），以及（d）访谈的治疗作用（“把心里话讲出来”）。该分析既为关于一般研究参与的定性文献做出了贡献，也为探索定性健康研究参与的新兴文献做出了贡献。
