Resumo
2020 entrará na história como o ano em que o mundo foi desafiado por um inimigo invisível que mudou tudo na sociedade humana, no século XXI. É a pior pandemia moderna, que abalou todos os aspetos da vida humana. Claramente, ninguém em nenhum campo estava bem preparado, se é que estava preparado, para a COVID-19. A novidade desta pandemia abriu espaço para várias oportunidades de investigação qualitativa, para ajudar a entender e abordar as implicações sociais. Neste artigo, discutimos as tendências sociais da COVID-19, o papel da investigação qualitativa durante um desastre como esta pandemia e como conduzir investigações qualitativas sobre e no decorrer de uma catástrofe semelhante. Este artigo também apresenta o modelo Crisis Recovery Stages, que pode ajudar os investigadores a moverem-se efetivamente no modo de produção, apesar do desastre. O artigo também gera ideias para questões atuais, que podem ser abordadas através da investigação qualitativa. Palavras-chaves: investigação qualitativa; COVID-19; modelo crisis recovery stages.
The year 2020 will go down in history as the year when the whole world was challenged with one invisible enemy that changed everything in human society in the 21st Century. It is the worst modern pandemic that has shaken all aspects of human life. It is clear that no one in any field was well prepared, if prepared at all, for COVID-19. The newness of this pandemic has given room for several qualitative research opportunities to help understand and address the social implications. In this paper, we discuss the social trends of COVID-19, the role qualitative research should play during a disaster such as this pandemic, and how to conduct qualitative research about and during such a disaster. This paper also introduces the Crisis Recovery Stages model that can help researchers move effectively in the production mode despite the disaster. The paper also generates ideas for current issues that can be addressed through and about qualitative research. Keywords: qualitative research; COVID-19; crisis recovery stages model
