Hi Heather and Tracey, I applied through IRAS and NHS REC for my PhD study to interview staff and patients. I included a short topic guide which showed the difference between what might be asked to patients as opposed to staff. I did not go into detail at the time as I did not have my initial programme theories so I agree keep it vague. However when you come to writing topic guides for interviews it is really helpful to be more specific. I am more than happy to chat/email if you have any questions about IRAS application process and RE methods. Good luck!

Hi Heather and Jo Your message couldn’t have come at a better time as I too am beginning the process of HRA/Ethics approval for realist interviews. I’ve got a brief page-long guide, which will need refinement yet, but I’d be interested in hearing how you get on and would be happy to share thoughts/ideas and my questions.

I kept my topic guide really brief as I was still formulating my programme theories. The advice I have been given in respect to NHS ethics is keep things as vague as you can but specific enough to get through. My topic guide was half a page of A4 and didn’t specify things in a realist way, It said I would discuss issues of X Y and Z with people and that was it. Message me if you want a quick chat about it… Thanks Jo Joanne Howe Post Graduate Researcher School of Medicine University of Nottingham From: "Realist and Meta-narrative Evidence Synthesis: Evolving Standards" <[log in to unmask]> on behalf of Heather Hopper <[log in to unmask]> Reply to: "Realist and Meta-narrative Evidence Synthesis: Evolving Standards" <[log in to unmask]>, Heather Hopper <[log in to unmask]> Date: Monday, 10 February 2020 at 12:08 To: "[log in to unmask]" <[log in to unmask]> Subject: Topic guide for realist interviews PLEASE NOTE: When you click 'Reply' to any message it will be sent to all RAMESES List members.

Dear All, I'm undertaking a realist evaluation of preconception care as part of a PhD; this follows a realist review, so I have some programme theories that I'd like to explore and refine with women and healthcare providers. Since this study involves NHS staff and patients I need to submit an ethics application via the IRAS system (Integrated Research Application System), including topic guides for interviews ... does anyone have any guidance / template for a topic guide for realist interviews or could help point me in the right direction? Many thanks... in anticipation 🙂 Heather Heather Hopper Associate Professor of Midwifery (Education) Academic Lead for Midwifery and Lead Midwife for Education School of Nursing and Midwifery Faculty of Health; Medicine, Dentistry and Human Sciences University of Plymouth 8 Portland Villas Drake Circus Plymouth PL4 8AA 01752 586556 [cid:image001.png@01D5E00B.504F8B30] ________________________________ [Image removed by sender.]<http://www.plymouth.ac.uk/worldclass> This email and any files with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the recipient to whom it is addressed.
