ABSTRACT

Background: Ongoing progress in psychiatric research calls for interdisciplinary approaches and use of novel methodologies.

Methods: After discussing theoretical advantages of the use of video ethnography in psychiatric research in the context of urbanicity/psychosis studies, the present article explores the representations of first line practitioners regarding its use in psychiatric research and, by extrapolation, in general practice based on qualitative analysis of case-managers feedbacks.

Results: Video ethnography was found sufficiently acceptable and tolerable tool within our research cohort. Both patients and case managers were positive about assets provided by this approach.

Conclusions: Nevertheless, more research is warranted to supplement reported results and conceptualize further implementation of video ethnography as a research tool. Further developments in this area may profit to psychiatric care beneficiaries by enabling a user inclusive approach and enriching therapists' appreciation of the impact of psychotic symptoms on patient's daily life. While the use of video ethnography in psychiatric research and practice with patients suffering from psychosis remains scarce, ever changing attitudes of the society towards self-exposure and availability of non-professional video recording material may further shape both research and clinical practice

摘要

背景：精神病学研究的不断发展要求跨学科的方法和新方法的使用。

方法：在讨论城市化/精神病学研究背景下在民族精神病学研究中使用视频人种学的理论优势后，本文探讨了一线从业者在精神病学研究中的使用方法，并通过外推法，在基于精神病学研究的一般实践中案例经理反馈的定性分析。

结果：在我们的研究队列中，视频人种志被认为是足够可接受和可容忍的工具。患者和病例管理者都对这种方法提供的资产持肯定态度。

结论：尽管如此，仍需要进行更多的研究来补充报告的结果，并将视频人种志技术作为研究工具的进一步实施概念化。该领域的进一步发展可以通过采用用户包容性方法并使治疗师更加了解精神病性症状对患者日常生活的影响，从而使精神科受益人受益。尽管在民族精神病患者的精神病学研究和实践中使用视频人种志技术仍然很稀少，但是社会对自我暴露和非专业视频记录材料的可用性不断变化的态度可能会进一步影响研究和临床实践。
