Qualitative Research Methods in Health Care

About

This basic course teaches the participants in 5 days how to start from a research question, conducting a qualitative research and progress to writing a scientific paper in qualitative research. This basic course provides hands-on tools for starting researchers to be able to start up, perform and finish a qualitative study independently and scientifically rigorous.

Experienced qualitative researchers of international repute will lead the course and share their experience in a variety of research projects. Participants are encouraged to bring their own experiences of research, including their questions, doubts and failures.

These are the lectures and workshops in brief:

•Qualitative inquiry: a different paradigm + exercises
•Setting up a qualitative research project + workshop
•Reflections on own research projects in private consultations (optional)
•Data-collection techniques (interviews, focus group discussions and observations) + workshops
•Analyzing qualitative data + workshop
•Appraising quality and reporting + workshop
•Qualitative data analysis using NVivo software

This year we invite an international speaker to talk about the role of qualitative methods in implementation science.

Target group

The summer school is open to early career researchers, PhD-students, Master students (max 5) and professionals in a field related to health care. Experience in qualitative research is not required.
