The needs of primary care mental health service users: a Q-sort study
Journal Title: Mental Health in Family Medicine - Year 2008, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
A semi-structured interview schedule was used, which was initially shaped by a pilot interview and a literature search. This was then informed in an interactive manner by the subsequent interviews. A preliminary topic guide covered the various stages of the ‘patient journey’. Interviews were recorded and transcribed verbatim. Interview length ranged from 14:21 to 103:45 minutes (mean = 44:28; SD = 24:42), the focus group interview was 72:15 minutes in length. Interviews were subjected to interpretative phenomenological analysis.21 All transcripts were coded by both authors. Themes were compared between authors and differences resolved through discussion.
