This study addresses the lack of personal safety guidelines for qualitative researchers in the field. It proposes general protocols to prevent dangerous incidents, drawing from various safety resources and researcher experiences.

Area of Science:

  • Social Sciences
  • Qualitative Research Methodology

Background:

  • Limited literature exists on personal safety for qualitative researchers in the field.
  • Existing research primarily focuses on psychological well-being, neglecting physical safety concerns.
  • Lack of established safety guidelines poses risks to researchers during fieldwork.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the critical issue of researcher personal safety in qualitative fieldwork.
  • To propose general guidelines for developing safety protocols for researchers.
  • To fill the gap in methodological considerations for field safety.

Main Methods:

  • Extrapolation of safety guidelines from healthcare practitioners entering client homes.
  • Review of literature on researcher safety in high-risk environments.
