Online Focus Groups with Parents And Adolescents with Heart Transplants: Challenges and Opportunities.
Pediatric heart transplant recipients are scarce and widely dispersed. Previous studies of adolescents in this population were limited to small homogenous samples. Although online focus groups are an emerging data collection method, its use in pediatric populations has not been fully realized. The purpose of this study was to explore the feasibility of using online focus groups with pediatric populations. Adolescents (aged 13 to 21 years) at least 6 months post-heart transplant and their parents were recruited from two children's hospitals. An online discussion forum (iTracks) was used to conduct asynchronous focus groups with separate parent and adolescent groups. Six parents and four adolescents participated in the discussions. iTracks provided a framework for conducting focus groups in dispersed populations. Access to the discussion transcripts enhanced data analysis and eliminated transcription costs. Overall, online discussion forums were a feasible and cost-effective option to conduct online focus groups in this pediatric population.
期刊介绍：
Pediatric Nursing is a clinically based journal focusing on the needs of professional nurses in pediatric practice, research, administration, and education. It provides information related to health care for normal, sick, or disabled children and their families; pediatric clients in the hospital, clinic or office, school, community, or home. A variety of feature and department articles highlight current topics and issues in pediatric practice and health policy, serving a wide range of pediatric professionals - from those who practice nursing in acute care or specialty units to those who promote health in nonhospital environments.
