Phase 2 of the study consisted of in-depth face-to-face
semi-structured interviews with a smaller sample from
the two intervention groups. These were conducted by
the same researcher. In total, eight participants completed
the in-depth interviews, five from the personal
alarm group and three from care-aide support group.
Participants in phase 2 were interviewed on one occasion,
either in their home or, for two participants, in a hospice,
with an average interview duration of 30 minutes.
An interview schedulewas used to explore how using the
personal alarm or having a care aide had affected any of
the support needs whether physical (self-care activities
and daily household jobs), social (getting out and about,
participating in usual activities and seeing people) or
emotional (managing difficult feelings and coping).
Prompts such as ‘‘Can you give me an example of….?’’
were used. Participants were given the opportunity to
describe any other benefits or problems and ways of
improving their experience with the two models of care.
Data analysis
All interviews were transcribed verbatim. Transcribed
interviews were then entered into the qualitative computer-
based data analysis program NVivo8 to facilitate
analysis.
