WebIn the last Research Made Simple Series article, we briefly outlined the main phenomenological research approaches in relation to investigating healthcare phenomena including Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). hbbd``b`f As an approach that is participant-oriented, interpretative phenomenological analysis approach allows the interviewees (research participants) to WebIn a predominantly qualitative, mixed method design (i.e., QUAL+quan), interpretative phenomenological analysis of six interview transcripts constructed three major clusters About Us; Staff; Camps; Scuba. London, UK: Allen & Unwin. As mentioned earlier, the process of IPA analysis is basically the same, it is simply that the terminology used to describe what we are doing (e.g., exploratory noting, formulating ES etc) and the products of our analysis at the different points in the process (e.g., ES, PETs and GETs) have changed. The results of this study were consistent with and extend upon previous research; and were indicative of the safety and potential of "My Career Chapter" as a narrative career assessment and counselling procedure for adults. At the moment, she is working on a randomized controlled trial testing a psychological support intervention for young people with epilepsy, using IPA to assess the interventions psychological outcomes and process. An Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis of Adult Clients' Experience of "My Career Chapter", McIlveen, Peter; Patton, Wendy; Hoare, P. Nancey, This paper reports a study of adult clients' experience of "My Career Chapter," which is a theoretically-informed, qualitative career assessment and counselling procedure. In this study, we aimed to explore experiences of stigma towards autism and sought views on what steps have and can be taken to reduce such stigma. These steps include accumulation, disassembling, reassembling, interpretation, and conclusion. Qualitative Research in Psychology, 3:2, 102-120. Usually this entails line-by-line coding, where each sentence from the transcript is given a short summary or theme essentially a unique code for every line focusing on the phenomena being discussed (Larking, Watts and Clifton 2006). 0

Also, make sure that it is really participants understandings of experiences you want to examine. IPA is underpinned by philsophy, including phenomenology, hermeneutics, and idiography (aka big words). in a study of the experiences of young people learning to drive, we might find themes like 'Driving as a rite of passage' (where one key psychosocial understanding of the meaning of learning to drive, is that it marks a cultural threshold between adolescence and adulthood). Shaw, R. L. (2001). Doing interpretative phenomenological analysis. In P. Atkinson, S. Delamont, A. Cernat, J.W. The main purpose of this analysis is to explore in detail how participants are making sense of their personal and social world to dig out an individuals personal perception or account of an object or event It is purely a qualitative approach IPA is a particularly useful methodology for examining topics which are complex, ambiguous and emotionally laden. IPA has the dual advantage of being able to scrutinise closely the emotions, perceptions, language, and interpretations of participants who are sharing their personal experiences, while also being able to zoom out to look at the social context in which these experiences are embedded. A degree of transparency (contextual detail about the sample, a clear account of the process, adequate commentary on the data, key points illustrated by verbatim quotes) is also crucial to estimating the plausibility and transferability of an IPA study. b<>=&xC(J)`VJf%!

It is also likely to maintain an idiographic focus (so that particular variation are not lost), and to keep a close focus on meaning (rather than say, causal relations). Interpretive Phenomenological research data analysis Phenomenology Cite Cite Dean Whitehead These steps are necessary to address the needs of a marginalised group living with a diagnosis of FTD. Building on the shoulders of the Greek thinkers, two 20th century philosophers are often invoked in describing IPA: Husserl and Heidegger. According to Smith and Osborn (2015), IPA produces an account of lived experience in its own terms rather than one prescribed by pre-existing theoretical preconceptions (para 1). Health and romance: understanding unprotected sex in relationships between gay men. IPA's hermeneutic stance is one of inquiry and meaning-making,[4] and so the analyst attempts to make sense of the participant's attempts to make sense of their own experiences, thus creating a double hermeneutic. 2009). endstream

(1999). Thus, it is important to understand and bracket our own assumptions about the world (which are based on our interpretation of phenomenon) from those of the respondent, and IPA is sometimes described as a double hermeneutic of both the researcher and participant.

For many years a corporate trainer and consultant, she is now part of the Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis Research Group within the Department of Psychological Sciences at Birkbeck University of London, where she also teaches qualitative methods. However, in a study with an interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) approach, the advantageous elements of the study quadruple because of the bonding relationship that the approach allows for the researchers to develop with their research participants. WebInterpretative Phenomenological Analysis in a User Experience Design Practice 2.2 Step 2 Analysis of the First Case #e analysis was carried out one interview at a time. Smith, J.A., Flowers, P., & Larkin, M. (2009). Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis studies highlight convergence and divergence across participants, showing both the experiential themes that the participants share and the unique way each theme is manifested for the individual. Its also genuinely funny, and you can find Sartre mocking himself and his philosophy with surrealist lines like: I do not think, therefore I am a moustache. Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) is a qualitative method of analysis developed by Jonathan Smith (Smith, 2004; Smith & Dunworth, 2003; Smith & Osborn, 2008; Smith, Flowers, & Larkin, 2009), initially for use in health psychology research. Objective: This paper is aimed at providing an overview and limitations of IPA. Create lists of favorite content with your personal profile for your reference or to share. IPA is distinct from methods of analysis such as thematic analysis because it is based on a specific theoretical position, that of phenomenology. IPA is also appropriate for use with small sample sizes and homogenous groups, i.e., ones where the members have a similar relationship to the topic under investigation, for instance, people diagnosed with a specific chronic illness, as in Dunne and Quayles (2001) study of Irish women with iatrogenic hepatitis C. It can also be an effective methodological framework for giving voice to under-represented groups in research (Larkin, Watts & Clifton, 2006). This page was last edited on 8 August 2022, at 13:07.

Interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) is a qualitative thematic approach developed within psychology underpinned by an idiographic philosophy, As with all qualitative research, analysis using IPA deconstructs or decontextualises the contents of a data set (generally semi-structured individual or group interviews) and then reconstructs or recontextualises the material into a comprehensible, theory-linked account of the participants responses to the research question. Usually, participants in an IPA study are expected to have certain experiences in common with one another: the small-scale nature of a basic IPA study shows how something is understood in a given context, and from a shared perspective, a method sometimes called homogeneous sampling.
