Abstract

Background: Societal use of digital technology rapidly increased during the COVID-19 pandemic. Face-to-face services converted to online provision where possible. This affected many nurse researchers.

Aim: To explore conducting research interviews online with children and young people (CYP) about sensitive topics.

Discussion: This article considers digital inclusion, as well as ethical issues surrounding safety, support and consent, along with choosing tools for collecting data. It also presents a discussion of physical proximity in qualitative interviews with this population and its role in data quality. The authors investigate benefits in the context of researchers' personal experiences. They acknowledge the disadvantages of conducting interviews online and discuss ways to mitigate these.

Conclusion: The advantages for researchers include cost-effectiveness, time-efficiency and greater geographical reach of participants. However, CYP's perspectives are unknown and the specific ethical issues of using this method with CYP need careful consideration.

Implications for practice: More research is needed to examine virtual interviews from the perspectives of CYP as participants. Virtual acquisition of consent and assent should be investigated to standardise good research practices.

网络摄像头背后的研究：对儿童和青少年进行虚拟访谈的探索。

背景：在 COVID-19 大流行期间，社会对数字技术的使用迅速增加。在可能的情况下，面对面的服务转为在线提供。目的：探讨如何在网上就敏感话题对儿童和青少年（CYP）进行研究访谈：讨论：本文考虑了数字包容性以及围绕安全、支持和同意的伦理问题，同时选择了收集数据的工具。文章还讨论了对这一人群进行定性访谈时的物理距离及其在数据质量中的作用。作者结合研究人员的个人经历探讨了访谈的益处。他们承认在线访谈的缺点，并讨论了减轻这些缺点的方法：对研究人员来说，在线访谈的优势包括成本效益高、时间效率高以及参与者的地域覆盖面更广。然而，儿童青少年的观点尚不可知，对儿童青少年使用这种方法的具体伦理问题需要仔细考虑：对实践的启示：需要开展更多的研究，从作为参与者的青少年的角度研究虚拟访谈。应调查虚拟获得同意和同意的情况，以规范良好的研究实践。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
