Estimating the eligible and accessible population is crucial for the feasibility of phenomenological studies, especially those focusing on rare groups like older widows receiving home care.

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Qualitative Research Methods
  • Sociology

Background:

  • Phenomenological studies often target specific populations, necessitating accurate feasibility assessments.
  • Estimating the eligible and accessible population is vital for planning and justifying research, particularly for rare or hard-to-reach groups.
  • Previous methods for population estimation may not adequately address the unique challenges of phenomenological research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a method for estimating the eligible, accessible population for phenomenological studies.
  • To provide a framework for assessing the feasibility of research involving rare target populations.
  • To detail a specific method developed for a study on older widows' experiences with home care.
