This article describes the experience of patients (8) who have come out of coma , using a method combining qualitative evaluation and semi-structured interview. The experience of the family members who acted as care-givers is also taken into consideration. Given the context, data saturation was not observed, and 8 interviews were obtained. The principle caregivers were also asked to describe their experience. The interviews were transcribed verbatim and read through carefully so that the significant aspects could be divided into groups using a model for the evaluation of outcome which requires further validation.

Abstract
This article describes the experience of patients (8) who have come out of coma , using a method combining qualitative evaluation and semi-structured interview. The experience of the family members who acted as care-givers is also taken into consideration. Given the context, data saturation was not observed, and 8 interviews were obtained. The principle caregivers were also asked to describe their experience. The interviews were transcribed verbatim and read through carefully so that the significant aspects could be divided into groups using a model for the evaluation of outcome which requires further validation.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
