Abstract

Interviews remain a crucial component of data collection for qualitative studies. Semi-structured interviews, in which the researcher asks preset questions and follows up while the subject responds, can reveal a participant's experiences, beliefs and opinions. Unfortunately, as qualitative researchers, it can be challenging to collect data when a mother and infant require flexible hours, rather than defined. This paper aims to explore a midwife's reflections on the difficulties of collecting data in qualitative research with mothers of very young babies. It will also discuss some important considerations before conducting interviews among mothers with young babies. Timing considerations and internet connections must be prepared properly. Through early identification of alternate solutions for potential difficulties that may arise throughout the data collection process, such reflexivity can influence future planning of effective data gathering.

定性助产研究数据收集方法中反身性的重要性
访谈仍然是定性研究数据收集的重要组成部分。在半结构化访谈中,研究人员提出预设的问题,并在受试者回答时进行跟踪,可以揭示参与者的经历,信念和观点。不幸的是,作为定性研究人员,当母亲和婴儿需要灵活的工作时间而不是固定的工作时间时,收集数据可能会很有挑战性。本文旨在探讨助产士对收集数据的困难与非常年幼的婴儿的母亲定性研究的反思。在对有婴儿的母亲进行采访之前,还将讨论一些重要的考虑因素。时间的考虑和互联网连接必须适当准备。通过及早确定在整个数据收集过程中可能出现的潜在困难的替代解决方案,这种反身性可以影响未来有效数据收集的规划。
