This contribution focuses on our experiences as lecturers and supervisors in qualitative healthcare research in medicine, public health research and sociology, and the role of research ethics in guiding students in their qualitative studies. We argue that students themselves are vulnerable during the transition of becoming a qualitative researcher and that reflection on research is essential. Therefore, the selection of a topic, potential role conflicts and questions of field contingencies management become crucial elements in both teaching and researching. We use qualitative case vignettes, as suggested by Langer, to offer a reflective account of our experience. Protecting students from harm and preventing them from inadvertently causing harm to others are of utmost importance to us. Through these vignettes, we aim to provide a nuanced and reflective view of our experiences in supervising qualitative research.
Unser Beitrag zeigt am Beispiel einer qualitativen Analyse der Tiefen Hirnstimulation (THS), welchen Mehrwert eine Verknüpfung von Wissensbeständen der Science and Technology Studies (STS) mit der qualitativen Gesundheitsforschung bieten kann. Insbesondere argumentieren wir, wie hiermit eine Vermittlung von subjektzentrierten Perspektiven mit stärker ökologischen Perspektiven gelingen kann, und inwiefern genau hierin die Stärke qualitativer Forschung liegt. Wir greifen dafür auf Vorschläge von Adele Clarke (Clarke/Friese/Washburn 2018) zurück, die Grounded Theory in Richtung von Situationsanalysen weiterzuentwickeln, um historischen Verläufen, kollektiven Aushandlungsprozessen, Materialitäten und der Bedeutung von Diskursen analytisch stärker als bisher Rechnung zu tragen.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
