Overview

Qualitative longitudinal research reveals lived experiences in chronic kidney disease and multimorbidity, indicating the value of innovative methods for sensemaking.

Key Points

  • Reflexivity emerged as a key component in understanding patient experiences during the two-year qualitative longitudinal research.
  • Semi-structured interviews and photovoice were combined to elucidate values and sensemaking processes alongside patient narratives.
  • Analysis resulted in trajectory case profiles that presented patient perspectives over time in chronic kidney disease and multimorbidity.
  • This approach allows for depth of insight into the dynamic health journeys of patients living with multiple chronic conditions.
