Resumo(s)
A focus group is a qualitative research methodology that utilizes group interaction to discuss a specific topic and is particularly useful for gaining a deeper understanding of the context surrounding a problem or specific phenomenon. Through in-depth interviews conducted with small and homogeneous groups (4 to 12), the moderator facilitates the discussion. The group should feel free to express their perspective. A proposal to conduct a focus group targeting ruminant veterinarians is presented, aiming to identify potential barriers, uncover hidden challenges, and explore opportunities and motivations for implementing sustainable practices. Veterinarians would be selected through convenience sampling. To explain the implementation, this research developed a guide based on a theoretical framework. The guide helps to implement the group interview. Finally, the data should be analysed. This phase involves transcription and categorization of data. The guide is based on the COM-B Model (Capability, Opportunity, Motivation led to Behaviour change). The variables (and respective indicators) would be Capability/Knowledge (knowledge, its source, and recommendations), local perception (perception, its source, and advisors), opportunity (support, training, and animal/environmental health), and motivation (willingness to change, enablers, and barriers). Some questions to be included would be: what are the main challenges you face in your daily professional life? Or how do you currently suggest farmers control helminths? Do you diagnose it in your daily practice? What do you know about the presence of anthelmintic drugs in the environment and their ecological impact? Hopefully, we'll get more information to set up focus groups with the producers.
