Abstract

Autoethnography is an increasingly used method to promote individual and group reflexivity in research, not the least in healthcare. However, autoethnography's uptake among practitioners is impeded by the fact that it has not been adequately adapted to practitioner settings from its academic origins. This article analyzes the experience of a research team comprised of practitioners/surgeons and social scientists using primarily oral-based autoethnographic practices to promote reflexive collaboration in a longitudinal research and innovation project on selection and training of surgical residents. Based on our case of innovative adaptation and application of autoethnography, which we term autoethnorality, several modifications in autoethnographic practice are suggested to make it more amenable to practitioner settings. These include adopting the collaborative and analytic forms of autoethnography and developing oral-based modalities for autoethnographic practice. The case also shows how these strategic choices along with successive adoption of autoethnographic practices can facilitate the resolution of tensions deriving from the differing timeframes, skillsets, and interests of practitioners on the one hand and academic researchers on the other, as well as paradigmatic differences in theory of science between the medical and social sciences. A table summarizing the advantages and disadvantages of different strategic choices and adaptations regarding autoethnography along with actionable recommendations is presented.

期刊介绍: QUALITATIVE HEALTH RESEARCH is an international, interdisciplinary, refereed journal for the enhancement of health care and to further the development and understanding of qualitative research methods in health care settings. We welcome manuscripts in the following areas: the description and analysis of the illness experience, health and health-seeking behaviors, the experiences of caregivers, the sociocultural organization of health care, health care policy, and related topics. We also seek critical reviews and commentaries addressing conceptual, theoretical, methodological, and ethical issues pertaining to qualitative enquiry.
