Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
This is a qualitative study that will consist of semi-structured interviews with people with a new diagnosis of 3PD. The main objective of the study is to explore how patients react to this diagnostic label, what they understand about their diagnosis and how their own meanings affect their expectations and illness perceptions. Between 12-15 patients will be recruited from the balance clinic at Guy's Hospital, London, UK. The qualitative data will be analysed using thematic analysis which will draw on pragmatic interpretive descriptive methodology.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Data will be analysed using inductive thematic analysis. Analysis will be conducted concurrently with data collection, allowing themes to be explored inductively as they emerge. Analysis will be performed by a multidisciplinary group consisting of a medical student, audio-vestibular physician and physiotherapist.
Analysis will be conducted with the aid of the latest version of computer software NVIVO for Windows. The medical student will lead the analysis, generating the initial codes which will then be discussed in data analysis meetings held regularly over the data collection and analysis period until the group are happy with the coding and themes generated. Data collection and analysis will be approached with critical reflexivity in order to reduce the risk of bias. The team will ensure the analysis is grounded in the data.
Patients will be included if they meet the diagnostic criteria for Persistent Postural Perceptual Dizziness (3PD). Patients will be excluded if they;
* Do not speak English or have special communication needs.
* Have cognitive impairment.
* Have acute severe psychiatric disorder (e.g. psychosis).
The investigators plan to interview a minimum of 12 participants and review the need for further interviews up to 15 participants if there are new themes developing (i.e. if the investigators have not reached data 'saturation').
