oral history as a social justice project issues for the Qualitative Researcher
The Qualitative Report, 2007Co-Authors: Valerie J JanesickAbstract:I am writing this to assist Researchers in training and experienced Researchers in understanding ways to view oral history as a social justice project. This paper will illuminate the importance of oral history in terms of enriching the knowledge base of Qualitative research methods as well. Oral history provides us with an avenue of thick description, analysis, and interpretation of people’s lives through probing the past in order to understand the present .The postmodern appreciation of the study of people and their stories, those stories from persons generally on the outside or periphery of society, offer a unique opportunity to view and conduct oral history as a social justice project. Key Words: Oral history, Social Justice, and Qualitative Research

Defining the key skills required to perform advanced laparoscopic procedures: a Qualitative descriptive study
Surgical Endoscopy, 2020Co-Authors: Elif Bilgic, Tomonori Hada, Tim Dubé, Sofia Valanci, Bernardo Azevedo, Liane S. Feldman, Melina C. Vassiliou, Gerald M. FriedAbstract:Background Simulation is widely used to teach and assess fundamental laparoscopic skills; however, program directors have reported that current simulation programs do not meet the needs for trainees and surgeons learning advanced laparoscopic procedures (ALP). The purpose of our study was to identify the key skills required to perform ALP, to serve as the basis to establish an advanced laparoscopic skills training program. Methods Semi-structured interviews were conducted with attending surgeons, fellows, and senior residents in general surgery, gynaecology, and urology. The questions were developed through an iterative process using relevant literature, expert opinions, and in consultation with a Qualitative Researcher. Interviews were conducted in person, over the phone, or by videoconference, and inductive thematic analysis was performed. Results 25 interviews were conducted with 16 attending surgeons and 9 fellows/residents from 9 institutions in Canada and USA. Twenty-one skills were identified to be important when performing ALP. The skills most commonly described by faculty were the following : (a) suturing, (b) dissection, (c) procedural expertise, (d) retraction and exposure, and (e) familiarity with relevant anatomy as viewed through the laparoscope. The skills most commonly described by trainees were the following: (a) suturing, (b) dissection, (c) procedural expertise, (d) trocar positioning, and (e) patient factors. There was a large difference between the importance the faculty attributed to the ‘Retraction and Exposure’ skill compared to the trainees. Conclusion This study identified key skills that are important when performing ALP. In order to address the current needs of trainees/surgeons learning ALP, this work provides the building blocks for the development of an advanced laparoscopic surgery simulation program.

self care and the Qualitative Researcher when collecting data can break your heart
Educational Researcher, 2005Co-Authors: Kathleen B RagerAbstract:Conducting Qualitative research on topics that are emotionally laden can have a powerful impact on the Researcher. Recent literature addresses the essential nature of the emotional connection that must be part of the Qualitative research process. However, for the most part, it neglects the issue of self-care strategies for the Researcher that are appropriate under these circumstances. Based on the author’s experience in researching the self-directed learning of breast cancer patients and on the limited literature that is available, this article addresses these important topics and calls for increased awareness of these issues and their significance in the preparation of novice Researchers.

compassion stress and the Qualitative Researcher
Qualitative Health Research, 2005Co-Authors: Kathleen B RagerAbstract:Human subjects are carefully protected in the research process. However, the same consideration is not currently being given to the Qualitative Researcher, even those investigating topics that are likely to elicit powerful emotions. The role of Researcher’s emotional responses and the self-care strategies that, in some circumstances, are appropriate for the Researcher and other research support personnel have not received the attention they deserve in Qualitative research literature. Based on experience in conducting research on the topic of self-directed learning and breast cancer, and on the limited literature available, the author makes the case for the use of strategies such as counseling, peer debriefing, and journal writing as means of dealing with the potential for “compassion stress” as experienced by the Researcher and other research support personnel. She also suggests that the preparation of social science Researchers should include information on appropriate self-care strategies.

Emotions, Words and Colors: A Strategy to Visualize and Analyze Patterns from Visitors' Narratives in Museums
2013 17th International Conference on Information Visualisation, 2013Co-Authors: Patrizia SchettinoAbstract:How can the emotions expressed by visitors after visiting a museum be analyzed through audio recordings and transcripts of interviews? Can an analysis based on colors help the Qualitative Researcher to identify patterns in the data? What can visual analysis of emotions tell the Researcher? This paper presents a concept and some initial reflections on the data gathered from visitor experiences to identify patterns based on emotions, using a Qualitative data analysis software - NVivo - or new types of 3D visual data analysis in immersive environments.
