Shifting Nutrition Paradigms: Changing Attitudes Towards Diet and Body Perceptions Among People With CF in the Era of Highly Effective Modulators.

Video-based methods have been used in medicine for over 50 years. Video has been described as the “gold standard” because it shows events as they occurred and with a level of detail unattainable when events must be reconstructed using other methods. Video can be re-viewed multiple times to facilitate viewer interpretation. Stimulated recall is a procedure in which video or pictures are used during interviews to prompt discussion about participants’ thoughts or feelings at the time when the images were captured since the images themselves do not display participants’ thought processes. When coupled with video, stimulated recall can be used to deepen researchers’ understanding of a participant’s thinking at the time. Thus, the pairing of video data and simulated recall are especially suited to learn more about cognitive processes and decision-making in medicine. Video-stimulated recall can be done in a variety of ways. The decision should rest on the type of data the researcher aims to gather, whether that be recall, re-living, or reflection, all of which can be produced by stimulated recall interviews., Data quality can be enhanced when researchers design their studies to focus on the kind of data they want. For example, the usual video portion of the methodology involves focusing the camera on the participant and capturing interactions between the participant and others. An adaptation of the method is to have participants wear head-mounted cameras so that the camera captures what the participant is looking at (“own point-of-view”), prioritizing the participant’s choice of view rather than that of researchers. This variation was used by Pelaccia and colleagues who examined how expert emergency physicians generated and evaluated diagnostic hypotheses as they worked. A common criticism of video-based research is that participants react to the camera and behave differently than they would if the camera were not present. A study was conducted to address the potential reactivity of cameras in medical interactions by filming interactions between 45 patients and 14 medical oncologists and then coding the film for camera-related behaviors. Results indicated that camera-related behaviors were infrequent (occurring 0.1% of the time) and most often occurred in very early stages of an interaction.
