To consider the development and use of real stories rather than vignettes in interviews.
Effective interprofessional working critically informed by the perspectives of informal carers was considered by the research team to be under-researched. It was proposed initially to use fictional vignettes as triggers in interviews with informal carers. It could be argued that the vignette does not represent the voice of the individual or may only represent a particular experience. Stories acknowledge a person's expertise in his or her experiences. A decision was made early in the design process to use real stories instead of vignettes.
A descriptive naturalistic design using a participatory approach. Two stories were developed by the researcher and two informal carers, and then used in interviews with other carers to explore their experiences and perceptions of interprofessional working.
The paper provides a discussion of an alternative approach to data collection.
The stories promoted a sense of support for the participants, which they gained from listening to and sharing stories of caring. This approach offered a different experience for the carers from the standard interview format.
The paper describes the use of real stories in interviews, which is not a commonly reported method. Carers were involved in both the development and the use of the stories in the interviews. Those interviewed valued the credibility gained by using these real stories, as opposed to constructed vignettes.
IMPLICATIONS FOR RESEARCH/PRACTICE: Using stories in this way contributes to methodological development, which allows perceptions and experiences to be captured.
探讨在访谈中采用真实故事而非小插曲的方式及其应用。
研究团队认为，从非正式照护者的视角进行批判性思考的有效跨专业协作研究不足。最初提议在对非正式照护者的访谈中使用虚构小插曲作为触发点。有人可能会说，小插曲并不能代表个人的声音，或者可能只代表一种特定经历。故事承认个人在其经历方面的专业性。在设计过程早期就决定使用真实故事而非小插曲。
采用参与式方法的描述性自然主义设计。由研究者和两名非正式照护者编写了两个故事，然后用于对其他照护者的访谈，以探讨他们对跨专业协作的经历和看法。
本文讨论了一种数据收集的替代方法。
这些故事为参与者带来了一种支持感，这种支持感来自于倾听和分享照护故事。这种方法为照护者提供了与标准访谈形式不同的体验。
本文描述了在访谈中使用真实故事的情况，这是一种较少被报道的方法。照护者参与了访谈中故事的编写和使用。与虚构的小插曲相比，接受访谈的人重视使用这些真实故事所获得的可信度。
对研究/实践的启示：以这种方式使用故事有助于方法学的发展，从而能够捕捉到各种看法和经历。
