'I actually felt like I was a researcher myself.' On involving children in the analysis of qualitative paediatric research in the Netherlands.

摘要: Objectives To evaluate the feasibility of a new approach to paediatric research whereby we involved children in analysing qualitative data, and reflect on involvement process. Setting This was single-centre, study Netherlands. It consisted meetings with individual at home (Phase I) or group school II). In Phase I, identified themes from video interview during five one-on-one between child co-researcher adult researcher. II, two meetings, explored detail using fragments 16 interviews. Participants We 14 (aged 10 years) as co-researchers analyse children’s interviews about their experience while participating medical research. Notes were taken, provided feedback. A thematic analysis performed framework approach. Results All themes. The time needed complete task varied, did extent which be structured improve concentration. rated investment adequate they considered acting interesting fun, adding that had learnt skills gained knowledge. also led them health matters own lives. researchers process relatively intensive, but project result more critical assessment work. Conclusion new, two-phase involving help data is feasible method. novelty lies identify original thereby limiting preselection by adults, before exploring these detail. Videos make it easier for understand empathise interviewees, limits investment.
