Using conjoint interviews to research the lived experience of elderly rural couples
1School of Health Studies, Brandon University.
Abstract:
Understanding the experiences of elderly rural couples in accessing health services can assist nurses and other health professionals in their roles as advocates, service providers, educators, programme planners, and policy makers. In this paper, Frances Racher explores phenomenology as methodology, and its fit with the unstructured conjoint interview as method, in planning for a study to seek knowledge of elderly rural couples' experiences in accessing health services. It is argued that phenomenology is an appropriate approach for gaining an understanding of the experiences of elderly rural couples. In addition, conjoint interviews provide opportunity for the partners to negotiate and jointly construct their responses, when the couple is the unit of study and the couple experience is the topic of interest. As health professionals strive to situate themselves in the everyday worlds of their clients, they are integral in the development and application of new research methods such as the conjoint interview.

Moment of a Couple: Problem Solving
The moment of a couple is found by multiplying the magnitude of one of the forces by the perpendicular distance between the line of action of the two forces. This creates a twisting force, which can be used to rotate an object. The moment of a couple is used to solve problems involving balanced...

Equivalent Couples
Two couples are considered to be equivalent if they produce the same rotational effect on a rigid body. In other words, the two couples have the same magnitude and act in the same direction, causing the same angular displacement or acceleration in the body.
For instance, consider two couples lying in the plane of the page, with one having a pair of equal...
