"When families talk: Applying Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) to African American families discussing their awareness, commitment, and knowledge of organ donation" Paper presented at the annual meeting of the NCA 93rd Annual Convention, TBA, Chicago, IL, Nov 15, 2007 Online <PDF>. 2009-12-06 <http://www.allacademic.com/meta/p188712_index.html>Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript
Abstract: This paper applies Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) as a means to understand how African American families discuss their knowledge, awareness and commitment to organ donation. African American family dyads (n=20) participated in self-directed interaction conversational dyads based upon the Organ Donation Model, which is grounded in the Theory of Reasoned Action and the Theory of Motivated Information Management. Results indicate that the media strongly influences ones willingness to participate in the organ donation process and greater attention should be given to cultural-specific campaigns to increase the number of African American donors. |
