  • From an illusion of certainty into a reality of uncertainty: A longitudinal qualitative study of how people affected by laryngeal cancer use information over time

    2016, European Journal of Oncology Nursing
    Citation Excerpt :

    A longitudinal qualitative study was designed to recruit from four clinical sites based in the West of Scotland. A longitudinal design was adopted to capture the impact, consequences and outcomes that would occur from diagnosis into follow up (Murray and Sheikh, 2006) rather than capturing these changes at one specific time point. Semi structured interviews were conducted at two specific time points, and an interpretive descriptive approach, using framework analysis, was used as the method for data analysis (Ritchie and Lewis, 1994).

  • "I know he controls cancer": The meanings of religion among Black Caribbean and White British patients with advanced cancer

    2008, Social Science and Medicine
    Citation Excerpt :

    Third, the cross-sectional design of the study did not allow for exploration of the changing meanings of religious faith and belief in God with time and how these may relate to how participants' understand and live with their advanced cancer. It has been suggested that prospective longitudinal recruitment is possible if a good initial relationship between interviewer and participant is developed (Steinhauser et al., 2006) although previous research has shown that this is often difficult because progressive disease leads to significant participant attrition (Murray & Sheikh, 2006). The evidence from the qualitative interviews shows that, with the exception of one participant, all Black Caribbeans referred to religion or belief in God.
