Today i had my pilot focus group, before the real thing tomorrow. The questions trialed went well - all questions were answered and no re-wording was necessary :)
I was amazed by how fast it went - i felt like i was jumping to and throw "topic" wise - but i guess the discussions were lead my the participants.
It was great to have the support of my superviser - who made sure the discussions were continuing and asked some questions as well.
We worked together and i feel like it went really well.
So the real thing is happening tomorrow - im having 4 participants so im a little nervous. Im so glad il have my superviser there for support.
Im really excited ~ Carnt wait to get the first "data collection" done so i can start analysis and coding!!!
Carnt wait to get ideas bouncing off the participants and get the discussion rolling. Really interested to find out the "main themes" and categories to code.
Il post tomorrow following the 1st focus group :)
Nervous but carnt wait to begin!!!!!!!

It did go well. I thought you were great at adding in the questions to develop or clarify what they were saying. I guess you have just learnt that occupational therpists like nothing better than an opportunity to talk with other like minds about what they are doing.
Yes definitly - well i know that when i get started theres no stopping! hehe. I guess it demonstrates passion of stating opinion - when someone truely believes something!
