Hi all — I had mentioned a health group looking to use OST as a research methodology. Here is a more focused look at what they are trying to achieve — it might spark a few ideas! For instance, has anyone done OST with pharmaceutical companies — this could assist them in the proposal development.
This is an interdisciplinary research group, developing a study to examine the pain experience of women having oocyte retrieval (part of invitro fertilization). They want to hear women's voices and believe OST is a technique that will enable women to share their stories and identify strategies to assist with pain control. However, we have been unable to find any supporting data for the use of OST within the medical and nursing literature. We need to find supporting data (published, or research in progress) that has used OST for their research design. This is necessary, to move forward with funding and approval by both qualitative and quantitative reviewers. Thanks and have a great day.
