Interprofessional Qualitative Research Teams: The Experience of Stroke for Rural Individuals

Abstract

This case study describes our experiences and perceptions of completing a qualitative study with a seven-person interprofessional team. We describe and highlight issues using examples from our work examining the experiences of individuals with stroke and caregivers living in rural Appalachian Kentucky. Components of the “method” in action that we address include team formation and leadership, regular team meetings and discussions, developing an interview guide, recruitment, conducting interviews, managing the data, dividing the labor and responsibilities, analyzing, and disseminating the findings as a team. We share practical lessons learned, including benefits, limitations, and strategies.
