This contribution is a reply on the article 'De waarde van kwalitatieve strategieën voor het praktijkgericht onderzoek', written by Piet J.M. Verschuren. Using the concepts of framing, indolence, dialogue and polyphonic causality Kuiper and Houweling aim at enriching the discourse of causality perceptions in qualitative research presented by Verschuren.

Ruim een jaar geleden zagen wij een aankondiging voor een cursus Q-methodologie. Geprikkeld door de enthousiaste verhalen van AnneLoes en Susan schreven we ons in. Het leek ons de ultieme test. Twee (relatieve) tegenpolen in de collegezaal: een voornamelijk kwantitatief onderzoeker zij aan zij met de kwalitatieve onderzoeker bij de cursus Q-methodologie. Even fraai kan het worden samen tweestemmig een reactie te schrijven op het artikel van dezelfde AnneLoes en Susan.

Sounding polyphonic stories. Part 3. Method of analysis
In this study an unconventional qualitative, narrative methodology is applied to shed a new light on the significance of having a job and working in elderly care for health care professionals and to use this as a source of inspiration for labor market policy makers.The methodology is rather unconventional because it doesn't focus only on the lingual content of the stories, but also includes other significant aspects of storytelling (e.g., voice and sound). Therefore musical work forms (e.g., music listening and singing) are used additionally.In the first phase of data collection stories of care professionals about the intertwining of their lifeline and career have been collected. In the second, listening phase HR professionals listened to the stories told by the care professionals and used them as a source of inspiration for HR policy innovation. The applied method of analysis connects analysis methods from both arts-based research and voice-centered research. In two previous articles the theoretical domains underlying this study and the methodology of both the story-telling and story-listening phase have been presented. This article treats the method of analysis.

'Werkkunst in de ouderenzorg' is een organisatieontwikkeling en promotieonderzoek in De Steenplaat, een verzorgingshuis van stichting Humanitas in Rotterdam Feyenoord. Doel van deze organisatieontwikkeling is verhoging van de kwaliteit van werk én zorg. In de eerste fase van dit project staan de werknemers centraal. Onderzoeksvraag in deze fase is: 'Wat leeft er onder medewerkers in De Steenplaat? Wat vinden zij zelf van hun werk?' Om daarachter te komen hebben we gebruikgemaakt van de Social Photomatrix (SPM) (Sievers, 2008). Deze bijdrage gaat over onze ervaring met deze boeiende methode.

AbstractBackgroundIn the Netherlands, Flexible Assertive Community Treatment (FACT) teams have been established for people with mild intellectual disability (MID) or borderline intellectual functioning (BIF) and mental health problems or challenging behaviour. Little is known yet about service users' experiences with FACT.MethodAn inductive grounded theory approach was used to explore how service users valued the treatment and their own functioning, and which factors were perceived as supportive. Semi‐structured interviews were held with 15 service users.ResultsMost service users highly appreciated the contact with the staff and the practical and emotional support. Persistent involvement, availability and humanity, and respect for autonomy were distinguished as core values in the relationship with the staff. Most service users experienced improvement in time and attributed this to intrapersonal changes and/or less stress in life.ConclusionsFrom the perspective of service users with MID/BIF, FACT appears to have an added value.
