I would like to research on the experiences of people with dementia. I know I would like to use interviews, tape recording however I am struggling on finding a methodology. I had thought of IPA however as a novice I have been advised to read around and hopefully find another one without a lot of new terminology that I will be expected to identify and differentiate.
i am a part time prof doc student.
There is quite a bit of literature on doing qualitative research with people who have early stage dementia. Take a look at: Gorska (2017) "Living With Dementia: A Meta-synthesis of Qualitative Research..."
Wouldnt the methodology be informed by your research question/ aim? You also need to consider the broad range of capabilities of people suffering this disorder- are you looking at early, middle or late stage presentations?
Agreed
