Interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) is an approach to qualitative analysis that has increasingly been used in health and psychology over the past 10-15 years.
To address the practical impressions of applying IPA, from the perspective of novice researchers.
The authors have observed two areas to which they would like to draw novice researchers' attention: interpretations of the six steps of IPA and what 'interpretation' means in IPA. They provide tentative suggestions in these areas for supporting researchers new to IPA.
More transparency in analysis when publishing work, alongside the introduction of interpretation as the 'seventh' step of IPA, may increase the quality of IPA research and help new researchers to understand the approach better.
诠释现象学分析(IPA)是一种定性分析方法,在过去10至15年中越来越多地应用于健康和心理学领域。
从新手研究者的角度探讨应用IPA的实际感受。
作者观察到两个希望引起新手研究者注意的领域:IPA六个步骤的解读以及IPA中“诠释”的含义。他们在这些领域提供了初步建议,以支持刚接触IPA的研究者。
在发表研究成果时提高分析的透明度,同时将诠释作为IPA的“第七步”引入,可能会提高IPA研究的质量,并帮助新研究者更好地理解该方法。
