Interpretive Description

Forskning i sundhed kan ændre menneskers liv ved at kurere sygdomme eller hjælpe med at håndtere dem. Men ofte overser sundhedsforskere patienters, pårørendes og sundhedsprofessionelles erfaringer med sygdomsforløb og behandling som en vigtig kilde til ny viden, der kan forkorte vejen tilbage til et normalt hverdagsliv. Antologien Interpretive Description introducerer den praksisnære kvalitative metodologi af samme navn for danske forskere og studerende, der ønsker at skabe anvendelsesorienterede resultater inden for klinisk sundhedsforskning. I bogen indfører 22 forskere læseren i den teoretiske baggrund for metodologien og guider systematisk til brugen af den inden for sygepleje, medicin, antropologi og sociologi. Bogens forfattere præsenterer også flere empiriske studier og giver eksempler på, hvordan metodologien kan informere sundhedsprofessionelle såsom sygeplejersker, læger, fysioterapeuter og socialrådgivere, så de bliver bedre til at behandle, lindre og rehabilitere deres patienter.
