Hi everyone

I am a PhD student based in London.I am aiming to carry out a case study on the experience of transitioning from employment to unemplyment following spinal cord injury.

Anyone willing to help me by participating will be able to share his or her personal experience from this prospective. The interview would take approximately 1 hour and it will be dealt with in a highly confidential manner. The case study will gain an ethical approval from my university.

Please get in touch if you are interested.
I should be able to provide more details.

Thank you

Do you have any link that members can follow up and are you carrying out the survey for a certain hypothesis?

Thanks Lara and DJ.

I am carrying out a qualitative research using a method named 'Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis' and semi-structured interviews.

Here is the link to the university page:

www.bbk.ac.uk/psychology/ipa

My project is led by my supervisor Professor Jonathan Smith.

Please let me know if you need more information.

DJ, I am looking to recruit any spinal cord injury person who had a previous occupation (student, self-employed, paid work, voluntary work). It would be great if we could get in touch so you could know more about the case study.

Looking forward to hearing from you all.

Oh ok, I see. Thought it might have been an in-person thing only. Thanks for the info!

Hi Lara and Dj

The study has a qualitative nature which means data have to be collected inductively (not depending on hypothesis).

The aim of my case study is to use the method I referred to earlier. As you can see in the page I send the link to, my supervisor is the founder of this method.

I hope this clears things.

Regards

Hi

It would be great if we can discuss this.

I will get in touch via PM.

Thanks a lot
