Interviews

Sample size

Literature states that there is “no prescriptive sample size for a phenomenographic study” (Yates, Partridge, & Bruce, 2012, p. 103). Bowden (2005) suggested that the sample should be large enough to find sufficient variation in perceptions, but small enough that the amount of data is manageable. A concept close to sufficient variation in perceptions is the saturation point. Research will achieve the saturation point when additional perceptions cannot be detected (Kaapu & Tiainen, 2012).

Following that recommendation, I plan to interview 5-8 members of each of the four groups: physician anesthesiologists, nurse anesthetists (NA), anesthesiologist assistants (AA) and surgeons.. Optimally, the majority of participants (~60%) will be members and leaders who are clinically active. The rest will be CPD professionals and staff leaders (for example, a CEO).

Interview questions

The questions below were selected to provide the critical variation among participants. Those variations will be categorized and organized in an outcome space (Cope, 2004).

  1. Can you please reflect on your previous experience of working in multi-professional teams?
  2. How would you describe IPL and QIE? For example, what is the purpose of each? Is it the same purpose?
  3. What are the differences or similarities?
  4. How about benefits and challenges?
  5. Can technology help us address those challenges, or enhance the benefits? If yes, how?
  6. What, in your opinion, are the most important benefits and challenges associated with perioperative surgical home (PSH)?
