qualitative research

[Judi Richardson]

Hi all — I had mentioned a health group looking to use OST as a
research methodology.  Here is a more focused look at what they are
trying to achieve — it might spark a few ideas!  For instance, has
anyone done OST with pharmaceutical companies — this could assist them
in the proposal development.

This is an interdisciplinary research group, developing a study to
examine the pain experience of women having oocyte retrieval (part of
invitro fertilization). They want to hear women's voices and believe OST
is a technique that will enable women to share their stories and
identify strategies to assist with pain control. However, we have been
unable to find any supporting data for the use of OST within the medical
and nursing literature. We need to find supporting data (published, or
research in progress) that has used OST for their research design. This
is necessary, to move forward with funding and approval by both
qualitative and quantitative reviewers.

Thanks and have a great day.
