Abstract: (75 Views)
Background and Objective: Institutional ethnography, as one of the qualitative research approaches, focuses on the everyday work processes of individuals. This method arises from the research question concerning the discrepancy between what the researcher observes happening in the real lives of individuals and what established knowledge claims should be happening. In this study, we aim to introduce institutional ethnography as a methodological approach for critiquing the prevailing relationships within healthcare institutions. The researcher seeks to demonstrate to healthcare researchers and professionals that the functioning of healthcare service delivery systems can be analyzed as social organizations. This study will familiarize readers with the key terms, concepts, and insights of institutional ethnography through examples from published studies.
Methods: This methodological study involved a search of databases including PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, the Persian Scientific Information Center (SID), and Google Scholar using the keywords "institutional ethnography (IE), healthcare system and delivery of health care" .The search was conducted without any time limitations until January 2024.
Findings: The process of conducting institutional ethnography can be organized into four stages: "identifying the gap and problem, data collection, data analysis, and useful recommendations and conclusions for change." In this approach, the institutional ethnographer utilizes a wide range of data collection techniques, including interviews, observations, focus groups, document collection, and reflexivity to create a description of what people do in their daily lives.
Conclusion: Institutional ethnography is used to identify and understand how higher-level processes and policies impact daily clinical work. Achieving a proper understanding of how texts and individuals function together within an organization (what actually happens) enables the formulation and implementation of practical strategies for addressing issues in the field.
