Critique of a Qualitative Research Article This paper is a review of a qualitative research article written by Tobiano, Chaboyer, & McMurray (2012) entitled “Family Members’ Perceptions of the Nursing Bedside Handover.” Eleven critiquing criteria are used to analyze the research study. The goal of qualitative research is to discover the nature of a particular situation. The qualitative article being reviewed seeks to understand the perception of family members on nursing bedside shift report.
A qualitative interview is one of the many research methods that sociologists can use to find out certain information. There are two main types of qualitative interviews; semi structured and unstructured. Both of these interview types are flexible meaning that different questions can be asked and questions can be asked in different orders. There are many key factors that show the difference between a qualitative interview and an ordinary conversation. The first key factor is that qualitative interviews
in the study and sources are key essentials to conduct a literature review (Hart, 2008). Nature of Study. According to Babbie (2013) using a qualitative methodology is appropriate for a study using a case study in design. A qualitative methodology is one of the three scientific research methodologies that is used to answer questions in a study. A qualitative case study involves the exploration of one or more cases within in a bounded system. Methodology. The methodology is appropriate for this study
Qualitative methods can be traced back to the ancient Greek historians. Herodotus, who is often called the father of history, traveled widely in the ancient world and recounted in his Histories the stories he had heard from the people he met. His successors down the ages recorded their observations of people that they encountered in their travels. These kinds of observations eventually became formalized in the discipline of anthropology. In clinical research, qualitative methods were first used
Qualitative research is a methodologically approach used to gather an in-depth understanding of human behaviour and reasons for such behaviour. Interviews are commonly used to gather information, from which text, audio and/or visual data is collected. Inorder for these interviews to be successful, the researcher must first establish rapport with the interviewees to ensure easy exchange of information most especially if its personal. Therefore, how would I establish rapport with the interviewees
Quantitative and Qualitative Research Reports Some researchers exclusively use quantitative (one) or qualitative (the other) research approaches citing that there are differences in the two styles. Professing quantitatively an objective truth and a single reality or promoting qualitatively a subjective truth and multiple realities (Castellan, 2010). It is also possible, and maybe even desirable to use both qualitative and quantitative methods combined, but if doing so, the researcher needs to
There are many different types of methods used when it comes to research. The two that will be focused on are both quantitative and qualitative. Qualitative research is described as “interpretive techniques that seek to describe, decode, translate, and otherwise come to terms with the meaning, not the frequency, of certain phenomena; a fundamental approach of exploration, including individual depth interviews, group interviews, participant observation, videotaping of participants, projective techniques
interviewee. A qualitative interview, provides a deeper understanding which is not possible with quantitative methods. A qualitative interview is also useful when dealing with sensitive topics or where little is known about or when detailed insights are required from individual participants. However, conducting a qualitative interview can be very time consuming, costly and different interviewers may understand and transcribe interviews in different ways. There are three fundamental types of qualitative research
Introduction Reviewing the previous qualitative studies, the interview has become one of key research approaches (along with field observations and document analysis) for gathering data that is closely conducted by qualitative researchers. (Kvale, 1996; Brinkmann, 2008; Seidman, 2006). As Gubrium & Holstein (2003) suggest that the qualitative interviews are able to assist researchers to investigate the discovery-oriented enquiries and the increased understanding of subjectivities in the researching
have at different times used either qualitative or quantitative methods in order to conduct studies into crime. Both methods are underlined by different epistemologies that characterise the difference in their uses by researchers. Qualitative methods often are based interpretivism, that is that there is a recognition of not one truth but many, as what results mean is based upon some sort of interpretation of it. In this sense, we often observe the use of qualitative methods in criminology where research
Qualitative approach There are many qualitative methods which are developed to have an in depth and extensive understanding of the issues by means of their textual interpretation and the most common types are interviewing and observation(Creswell 2012). The process of research
In 1523 the Spanish conquistador Ponce de Leon made an extensive voyage to a new world in search of the legendary Fountain of Youth. He never found it. Although many years have passed since Ponce de Leon made his infamous trip, the idea of mythical youth is still very much alive in our culture. We desire to actually act and feel youthful. Physical exercise is the only action a person can take to not only feel young but to physiologically slow the aging process. This paper will present studies
Qualitative Critique of “The Ethics of Presence When Bathing Patients in a Nursing Home” Introduction This is an academic critique of a qualitative article published in 2012, by Maj-Britt Raholm, RN, MNsc, PhD. In the article, “The ethics of presence when bathing patients in a nursing home”, the researcher intends to create a more profound understanding of the ethics of presence from the nurse’s perspective (Raholm, 2012, p. 30). The study will be analyzed for the credibility, conformability, and
A Tale of Two Cultures: Contrasting Quantitative and Qualitative Research The purpose of this article was to guide the scientific community into merging both quantitative and qualitative methodologies and to enhance cross-tradition communication between scholars of quantitative and qualitative methods. This article is written from the perspective of qualitative researchers who wish to communicate with quantitative researchers in efforts to help each other towards their similar end goal of producing
Qualitative research is the significance of observations made in a study rather than the raw numbers themselves (Quantitative Research, 2014). It is most commonly the method of investigation that can include interviews and case studies. Qualitative research is also used in a historical and ethnographic context, when trying to find what did happen and what is happening (Quantitative Research, 2014). Qualitative research is useful for practitioners because it allows the researcher to establish a bond
Qualitative and quantitative are the two general approaches used to collect and report sociological information. Qualitative research is used to grasp a larger understanding of opinions, motives and explanations whereas quantitative research is used for generating numerical or statistical data. Both approaches have benefits and limitations and suitability depends on the type of study being carried out. Qualitative research is exploratory. It provides help to develop ideas or hypothesis. In addition
The importance of evaluating qualitative and quantitative information and incorporating the relevant data into the daily operations can create organizational sustainability. When it comes to business, it's critical to evaluate not just the numbers or metrics (quantitative), but also the information that tells you the why, when, or how a customer shops and determines what their purchase will be (qualitative). As a manager, it's a vital asset to receive customer service reports on a monthly basis,
Qualitative Research for Instructional Technology Background: A trend of the past several years has been the growing use of qualitative research for educational research. Qualitative research, broadly defined, means "any kind of research that produces findings not arrived at by means of statistical procedures or other means of quantification. Where quantitative researchers seek causal determination, prediction, and generalization of findings, qualitative researchers seek instead illumination
Denzin and Lincoln (2007) argued that qualitative research, which has become more and more popular in research overtime, is not has strong of a research method for researchers to use. Denzin and Lincoln (2007) states that qualitative research has roots to racism, assimilation, and repression of “the Other,” those who are not dark skinned in a “white world” in the colonial area. Qualitative research does this by listening to the majority’s option, and ignoring the minority’s option. Overtime, this
Discussion Section More often than not, any research study could be divided into two fractions, quantitative and qualitative (Bryman, 2006). It is highly advised, to leverage a mixed method approach to research (Bryman, 2006). A mixed method of study is one, which focuses on both quantitative and qualitative methods. It is established that qualitative methods are more beneficial to establish initial Null hypothesis and quantitative methods are more useful to prove or disprove the first Null hypothesis
