MINDFULNESS AND UVB IN THE TREATMENT OF MODERATE PSORIASIS 16 Ethics The Regional Committee for Medical Research Ethics in Norway (REK Nord 2016/982) approved the study protocol, and the project was registered by the local Data Protection Official for Research at the University Hospital of North Norway (UNN). The accepting patients signed an informed consent form for the study and a separate informed consent form for the interviews. The student researcher and fellow research assistant signed a confidentiality statement. Qualitative interviewing The participants were invited to a qualitative research interview after six weeks. Five patients accepted, including three intervention and two control patients. The interview was organized as a semi-structured interview, based on an interview guide. It lasted approximately one hour and was audio recorded. The student researcher transcribed and coded the recordings. The background for the researcher’s perspective is from having a chronic skin disease. The qualitative analysis of the transcript was based on the principles of Interpretive Phenomenology Analysis (IPA) (Osborn & Smith, 2008). IPA is grounded on the three principles referred to as idiographic, hermeneutics, and phenomenology. Idiographic, as it carefully studies individuals case by case. Hermeneutic, as it focuses on meaning making processes and how individuals make sense of events in their life. IPA further refer to a double interpretation, involving processes of interpretation in the patient making sense of his/her situation, as well as in the scientist/interviewer interpreting what the patients communicate (Osborn & Smith, 2008). Finally, IPA is phenomenological, as it aims for getting a common meaning for several individual’s experiences in a concept or phenomena, such as treatment, healing and illness. The analysis in IPA includes careful and in-depth examining individuals case-by case, moving on to a correspondingly focused examination of the second patient, and so on, and subsequently merging the analysis of each case into the analysis of the complete set of cases. The analysis followed five steps: 1) a word-by-word transcription of the interviews, 2) detailed reading and identifying the various topics, 3) breaking up data into units of meaning, 4) reorganizing the data, drawing on categories of meaning emerging from the data and 5) the synthesis of the data through the writing process.
