Abstract

The rapid development and widespread use of internet-based technology have changed the research landscape. In line with these developments, Facebook has become a new avenue in research. This paper discusses, firstly, how Facebook can be utilized and, secondly, the complexities and practicalities of using this platform when conducting qualitative research. Utilizing Facebook in qualitative research is challenging due to the vast amount of data it contains and the ethical issues involved. However, understanding the features of Facebook and the involvement of gatekeepers may facilitate the research process. Facebook has become a viable tool in qualitative research for collecting data and recruiting participants. However, a strategy is required to facilitate the research process. Using Facebook in research can be a powerful tool but researchers should use it with caution and thoroughly evaluate the implications for practice before doing so.

Abstract

The integration of technology into qualitative research has revolutionised traditional methods, providing researchers with new opportunities and challenges. This paper compares the effectiveness, strengths, and limitations of traditional versus technology-based methods for recruiting participants, conducting interviews, and transcribing data, based on the personal experiences of the researchers. The findings reveal that while traditional face-to-face interviews enable deeper personal interaction and richer data collection, they are often time-consuming and logistically challenging. In contrast, technology-based methods offer increased accessibility, efficiency, and flexibility, particularly when recruiting participants and conducting interviews among geographically dispersed populations. However, these methods may compromise the depth of data due to the challenges of maintaining non-verbal cues and transcription accuracy, particularly when using automated transcription tools. This paper recommends a hybrid approach that combines the strengths of both methods. Best practices for using technology in qualitative research are proposed to ensure the richness and contextual depth of the data while leveraging the benefits of modern tools.

Abstract

Background: Shared breastmilk has been a longstanding tradition in many cultures throughout history through wet nursing, cross nursing, and the donation of expressed breastmilk to a milk bank. However, social media has introduced some new dynamics to this practice, making it more visible and accessible; and it is known as milk-sharing. Research on milk sharing is still in its infancy and focused on western perspectives. Therefore, the sociocultural dimensions of milk sharing have not been adequately explored across different settings and cultures.   Purpose: This qualitative study aims at understanding the milk-sharing experiences among donor and recipient mothers in Malaysia.   Methods: We conducted a social media analysis on milk-sharing postings from four Facebook Groups Pages. This was followed by a detailed exploration of individual experiences throughout the milk-sharing journey using a semi-structured, online interview with thirty mothers. Thematic analysis was applied in the data analysis process using ATLAS.ti 9 software.   Results: A total of 252 postings were retrieved from four Facebook Groups Pages. Of these, 151 postings referred to donating milk, 70 referred to requesting milk, and 31 focused on issues related to milk-sharing. Thirty mothers with various milk-sharing experiences were involved in this study. Fifteen donors, six recipients, and nine fell into both categories. The mothers in the study had an average age of 32.9 years and the majority were Malay. In terms of their relationship with the infants, 93.3% were biological mothers with the majority having two to five children. Thematic analysis identified five themes: 1) point of reference, 2) communication platform, 3) altruism for mutual benefit, 4) faith and 5) challenges and problem-solving methods.   Conclusions: Milk sharing is a personal and sociocultural-bounded practice where mothers negotiate their understanding of the need to breastfeed and the use of donated breastmilk. Despite its specific focus on the Malaysian context, this research offers a complementary understanding of milk sharing within a non-Western framework and transferable to similar sociocultural backgrounds. The findings are important for intercultural nursing and midwifery practice, where nurses can incorporate sociocultural perspectives into breastmilk donation initiatives to increase public acceptance.
