Helping research ethics boards to understand the value of bereavement research
Jennifer Buckle talks about the strategies her bereavement research participants have suggested for harm minimization in bereavement research, including the use of indirect recruitment methods, such as advertisements and letters of invitation through third parties, which allow people to decide for themselves whether or not they are ready to participate in research. She stresses that for ethical reasons, consent in research which uses open-ended or discovery interviewing techniques, should be an ongoing process of continual checking and re-evaluation, and explains how process consent should continue after interviews are over, with participants being informed that they can withdraw at any point, and can remove any data they have contributed. Dr. Buckle also gives advice for researchers new to qualitative research who do not have a counselling background, recommending that they develop empathetic listening skills, including skills in reflecting, building rapport and trust, assuming a non-judgmental stance, and attentive listening, and that they hone their ability to contend with powerful emotions.
