The Future of Qualitative Research in Healthcare cover

Offers a digital lens in the participatory perspective of ethnography in healthcare research.

In the rapidly changing world of digital healthcare research this book offers a digital lens in the participatory perspective of ethnography, a qualitative methodology. With its unique approach, it will be an invaluable resource for prospective and experienced qualitative researchers in a broad array of medical and health disciplines.Digital methods in healthcare research have been steadily gaining ground but, until recently, were superseded by conventional face-to-face approaches wherever possible. However, the COVID-19 pandemic rendered in-person forms of data collection largely impossible, propelling digital approaches to the forefront. This book offers a digital lens in the participatory perspective of ethnography, a qualitative methodology. A series of chapters from internationally distinguished and rising authors present digital platforms and techniques and apply these to a wide range of healthcare studies. The authors highlight the different aspects of digital research approaches as well as reflecting on and proffering digital approaches to qualitative research for the future. Will these new digital health techniques be embraced, or will researchers be keen to revert to the traditional methods? With its unique approach, this is an invaluable resource for both prospective and experienced qualitative researchers in a broad array of medical and health disciplines.
