In this article, the authors clarify a framework for qualitative research, in particular evaluating its quality, founded on epistemology, methodology, and method. They define these elements discuss their respective contributions interrelationships. Epistemology determines is made visible through method, particularly participant- researcher relationship, measures of research form, voice, representation analysis writing. guides methodological choices axiological. Methodology shapes shaped by...
Qualitative methodologies are increasingly popular in medical research. Grounded theory is the methodology most-often cited by authors of qualitative studies medicine, but it has been suggested that many 'grounded theory' not concordant with methodology. In this paper we provide a worked example grounded project. Our aim to model for practice, connect researchers useful methodology, and increase quality research published literature. We documented using practice. describe our sampling, data...
Jansen and colleagues explore the role of shared decision making in tackling inappropriate polypharmacy older adults
Breast cancer care is a leading area for development of artificial intelligence (AI), with applications including screening and diagnosis, risk calculation, prognostication clinical decision-support, management planning, precision medicine. We review the ethical, legal social implications these developments. consider values encoded in algorithms, need to evaluate outcomes, issues bias transferability, data ownership, confidentiality consent, legal, moral professional responsibility....
Overdiagnosis means different things to people. S M Carter and colleagues argue that we should use a broad term such as too much medicine for advocacy develop precise, case by definitions of overdiagnosis research clinical purposes
Machine learning algorithms are being used to screen and diagnose disease, prognosticate predict therapeutic responses. Hundreds of new developed, but whether they improve clinical decision making patient outcomes remains uncertain. If clinicians use algorithms, need be reassured that key issues relating their validity, utility, feasibility, safety ethical have been addressed. We propose a checklist 10 questions can ask those advocating for the particular algorithm, which do not expect...
What ways of thinking and concrete strategies can assist qualitative health researchers to transition their research practice online environments? We propose that should foreground inclusion when designing research, suggest ethical, technological social adaptations required move data collection online. Existing shows this aid in meeting recruitment targets, but also reduce the richness generated, as well how much participants enjoy participating, ability achieve consensus groups. Mindful...
The inclusion of consumer preferences in prioritizing research topics is widely advocated, but prioritization driven largely by professional agendas.Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) were purposively sampled from four dialysis and transplant centres Australia to participate nine focus groups (three each for pre-dialysis, patients), which conducted July 2006 September 2006. Each involved 6-8 participants. Transcripts coded thematically analysed identify recurrent the participants'...
We propose a new approach to guide health promotion practice. Health should draw on 2 related systems of reasoning: an evidential system and ethical system. Further, there are concepts, values, procedures inherent in both evidence ethics, these be made explicit. illustrate our with the exemplar intervention weight, use specific mass-media campaign show real-world dangers intervening insufficient attention ethics evidence. Both researchers practitioners work build capacities required for...
Polypharmacy in the older population is increasing-and can be harmful. It safe to reduce or carefully cease medicines (deprescribing) but a collaborative approach between patient and doctor required. This study explores decision-making about polypharmacy with adults their companions. Semi-structured interviews were conducted 30 people (aged 75+ years, taking multiple medicines) 15 Framework analysis was used identify qualitative themes. Participants varied considerably attitudes towards...
Communication that empowers the public, patients, clinicians, and policy makers to think differently about overdiagnosis will help support a more sustainable healthcare future for all, argue <b>Kirsten McCaffery colleagues</b>
Alongside the promise of improving clinical work, advances in healthcare artificial intelligence (AI) raise concerns about risk deskilling clinicians. This purpose this study is to examine issue from perspective diverse group professional stakeholders with knowledge and/or experiences development, deployment and regulation AI.We conducted qualitative, semi-structured interviews 72 professionals AI expertise or who were involved AI. Data analysis using combined constructivist grounded theory...
Abstract Objective To support a diverse sample of Australians to make recommendations about the use artificial intelligence (AI) technology in health care. Study design Citizens’ jury, deliberating question: “Under which circumstances, if any, should be used Australian systems detect or diagnose disease?” Setting, participants Thirty adults recruited by Sortition Foundation using random invitation and stratified selection reflect population proportions gender, age, ancestry, highest level...
The ageing of Australia's 5.5 million baby boomers (born 1946–1965) will significantly change Australian society, yet it is unclear what known about the expectations and plans this cohort for their retirement old age. This paper provides a first step by reviewing literature, focusing on areas health, housing, work income, responsibility. Information from peer‐reviewed literature Internet published during 1996–2005 was reviewed. One hundred ninety‐five references were retrieved, which only 94...
Dentistry in Australia combines business and health care service, that is, the majority of patients pay money for tangible dental procedures such as fluoride applications, radiographs, fillings, crowns, dentures among others. There is evidence question dentists' behaviours attitudes during a visit when those highly technical are performed. However, little known about how patients' experience whole. This paper illustrates findings from qualitative study recently undertaken general practice...
Overdiagnosis is an emerging problem in health policy and practice: we address its definition ethical implications. We argue that the of overdiagnosis should be expressed at level populations. Consider a condition prevalent population, customarily labelled with diagnosis A. propose occurring respect population when (1) being identified A (consequent interventions may also offered); (2) this identification labelling would accepted as correct relevant professional community; but (3) resulting...
