Qualitative interviewing with vulnerable populations : ethical considerations when conducting narrative interviews with young people with cancer / Suzanne Mooney
Young people with cancer are increasingly recognised as a small but uniquely vulnerable patient cohort whose well-being is complicated by the dual crisis of the stressors associated with an unanticipated life-threatening diagnosis and treatment at a critical transitional stage in the life course. Drawing on her experience of undertaking a doctoral study examining how hospital care can promote the well-being of teenagers and young adults with cancer, involving multiple narrative interviews with young participants, this case study reflects on the ethics of conducting research with vulnerable populations on sensitive topics and considers the need to design and carry out qualitative research in a way that not only does 'no harm' but actively seeks to benefit participants
