Hyperresearch 3.7.3 serial key5/29/2023 ![]() ![]() In general, T1D researchers frequently rely on a single biomedical outcome (i.e., glycemic control) as an indicator of a successful HCT. ![]() In the T1D literature, measures of HCT outcomes not only vary among studies, but there is also inconsistency about when to measure the various criteria used to indicate a successful HCT. In this qualitative study, we used the expanded SMART as a framework to obtain multiple stakeholder perspectives on indices of a successful HCT for young adults with T1D. We expanded the original Social-Ecological Model of Adolescents and Young Adult Readiness for Transition (SMART Schwartz, Tuchman, Hobbie, & Ginsberg, 2011 Schwartz etal., 2013) to include outcome indicators that we hypothesized are relevant to measuring a successful HCT for young adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D Pierce & Wysocki, 2015). When the focus is on HCT outcomes, the research is fraught with methodological difficulties, making it difficult to generalize and compare findings across studies ( Crowley, Wolfe, Lock, & McKee, 2011 Pierce & Wysocki, 2015). Much of the literature on the health care transition (HCT) from pediatric to adult care focuses on how to prepare or ready adolescents with chronic illness for a successful HCT ( Schwartz etal., 2014), but considerably less attention has been paid on how to measure whether the HCT was successful. Young adults with chronic illnesses are expected to transition from pediatric to adult care and balance disease management with the developmental challenges of assuming responsibilities in typical life domains (e.g., work/college, social relationships, housing) associated with emerging adulthood ( Arnett, 2012 Monaghan, Helgeson, & Wiebe, 2015 Weissberg-Benchell, Wolpert, & Anderson, 2007). The broadening of the number of qualitative researchers in the sociological community in Croatia, together with more educational programmes on CAQDAS, which would highlight reflexive usage of software, open perspectives for strengthening of qualitative research in Croatia.Health care transition, transition outcomes, type 1 diabetes, young adulthood The perceived advantages and limitations of CAQDAS are analysed and some misconceptions about CAQDAS are contextualised and related to the dominant quantitative research framework in Croatian sociology. This is elaborated through a case study that addresses issues of spread and availability of CAQDAS, opportunity for its usage, reasons why early-career researchers decide to use it or not and grounds for their decisions for use of a particular software package. ![]() ![]() In Croatia, the CAQDAS community is very small and is dominated by problems of great expectations coming from early-career researchers. In this article we critically analyse the usage of computer-assisted qualitative data analysis software (CAQDAS) among early-career sociology researchers in Croatia. Las herramientas tipo CAQDAS se siguen usando, fundamentalmente, en fases de análisis de datos son pocos los usos específicos, identificados para actividades como la revisión de literatura conducente a construcción de estados del arte, o enfocados a apoyar el diseño de la investigación. Los hallazgos más significativos revelan poca referencia al uso de TIC en las fases iniciales de los procesos investigativos, siendo los más recurrentes los gestores bibliográficos. El análisis realizado parte de una caracterización de la producción bibliográfica recopilada, en donde se analizan aspectos como la frecuencia de publicación, los autores, idiomas, temáticas, entre otros asuntos. El objetivo de este artículo es exponer los hallazgos encontrados en la literatura acerca de las discusiones, perspectivas y experiencias sobre los usos de TIC y de software especializado tipo CAQDAS en las prácticas investigativas cualitativas. Lo que aquí se presenta es el resultado de la primera fase referente a la revisión de la literatura sobre el tema, en los aspectos epistemológicos, metodológicos y prácticos de la mediación tecnológica en la investigación cualitativa. Este artículo forma parte de la investigación “Usos y apropiación de TIC en las prácticas investigativas cualitativas y en los procesos de formación investigativa en educación superior”. ![]()
