[Futuregen] Fwd: Re: Reminder: one page with ideas for qualitative study for zoom tomorrow

[Ricardo Rodrigues]

P.S.: For everyone's convenience, I copy below the text with the 
original qualitative study idea as described in the proposal:

RQ4.1) How are health and care-giving/receiving defined and perceived by 
older men and women and
what health outcomes and resources are most meaningful for them? This RQ 
will explore the perceptions
of older people with respect to wellbeing in older ages (e.g. importance 
of health, function, care, autonomy
and dignity) and which health outcomes and resources (e.g. material, 
social capital) matter the most for
ageing well and caring. In-depth semi-structured interviews will be 
conducted with 30 persons aged 60+ in
each country: Austria, Sweden and Canada (Task 4.1). Cross-national 
comparisons will further augment
understandings of similarities and differences across cultures. 
Purposive sampling will maximize variation of
social determinants (e.g. age, SEP) and experience (e.g. caregiver or 
recipient, with or without illness). A semistructured
interview guide will be developed and pilot-tested, building on findings 
from WPs1-2 and feedback
from our SB. We will elicit detailed views on preliminary 
findings/policy messages from WPs1-3, with a focus
on participant views about how sex/gender may affect connections between 
SEP and other characteristics,
and quality of life and ageing well. Interview content will be analysed 
using the framework method (Task
4.2). This method provides a systematic yet pragmatic approach to 
qualitative content analysis that identifies
similarities, differences and defines relationships (see Parts D and F 
for ethics, interviews and sampling).
