A Qualitative Research Creswell

Media research indicates that journalistic standards and practices are socially constructed systems, which deal with complex work processes by organising news flow and explicating roles and competencies (Tuchman 1978; Fishman 1980). The case study method is regarded as a valid tool to analyse a complex issue. A case study is defined as "an empirical inquiry that investigates a contemporary phenomenon within its real-life context" (Yin 2003: 13). It is best used to understand complex social and organisational issues. Case study evidence to answer research questions and contribute to theory development originates from a variety of sources, such as documentation, archival records, interviews (qualitative or quantitative) and observation. In this

Nurses are responsible in providing holistic, quality care to their clients. In order to effectively provide such care Boswell and Cannon (2009, p. 2 & 7) states that nurses must base their provision of care on the most current, up-to-date health information available and sound nursing knowledge. This is where evidence-based practice (EBP) comes in. Polit and Beck (2010, p. 4) defined EBP as "the use of the best clinical evidence in making patient care desicions". This usually comes from research conducted by nurses and other healthcare professionals. Thus it is pertinent that research reports are critically analyzed.

The authors of this article method of data collection was based on a five-focus group and three individual interviews on the clients that participated in the MBSR training. They analyzed and constantly compared methods to develop a grounded theory (Schellenkens & Jansen, 2015, pg. 1813). They determined that their focus group involved participants that were open for

To answer Research Question 2, the researcher analyzed the responses of childcare staff on the SIS. Wage and program quality data were collected from the Supplemental Information sheet (SIS) created by the researcher (see Appendix B). Two levels of quality were: Level 1 corresponded to state licensing such as acquiring a Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) license; Level 2 corresponded to accreditation from the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC).

The aim of this study is to examine the maternal and fetal risks of adverse pregnancy outcomes such as gestational diabetes, stillbirth and other risks in relation to maternal obesity(1). It is clearly stated that the study was not original as it is claimed that previous studies that had been done were similar. Besides, there was no any obvious conflict of interest as the data was obtained directly from a validated database and no funding body was reported. Compare with previous studies, they had put into a broader context where they used a larger sample size that consists of 325,395 cases of completed singleton pregnancies to obtain a more confident quantification of the risks

A study on the dietary data of about 487,375 people in China found that eating spicy food can reduce a person's mortality risk by 14 percent.

This author has chosen the question, “In low-risk pregnant women does the presence of a professional doula, to support the woman when laboring, provide improved maternal outcomes versus utilizing only family support as evidenced by patient satisfaction?” for the focus in her capstone project. The following questions will be answered in regard to each article: 1) How does each article describe the nature of the problem, issue, or deficit you have identified, 2) Does each article provide statistical information to demonstrate the gravity of the issue, problem, or deficit? 3) What are example(s) of morbidity, mortality, and rate of incidence or rate of occurrence in the general population? 4) Does each article support your proposed change? Following a literature search the author has selected 15 articles for review, which will be outline in this paper and

In this research, from the clinical documentation a qualitative study provides an outline description of the early cohesive Palliative Care for cancer.

One issue that sports have been facing recently is that of doping. The article “A qualitative analysis of the experiences of elite athletes who have admitted to doping for performance enhancement”, published in the International Journal of Sport Policy and Politics, by Kate Kirby, Aidan Moran, and Suzanne Guerin, provides insight as to the motives of athletes who dope, as well as what may help to deter doping in athletes. Kirby, Moran, and Guerin chose to look at athletes who had previously participated in doping. They wanted to look at possible reasons for the athletes’ doping, how that doping affected them socially, and the effectiveness of doping discouragements. Five elite male athletes who had admitted to doping agreed to participate in

Music is a stimulant that can induce changes in arousal levels, which can be measured through indicators such as tense arousal (i.e. tension). The genre and how frequently individuals are exposed to a music stimulus can determine how significant the change in arousal will be. Generally, energetic music increases phasic arousal, which is the respondent state of arousal due to a stimulus (Olst, Orlebeke & Fokkema, 1967), because of the exciting mood they create, their fast tempo, tone, and beat accenting. Contrastively, relaxing music decreases phasic arousal because of their slow-pace and quieter sound (Huron, 2002). However, it is hypothesised that, when listening to their preferred type of music, participants will experience a smaller change

The proposed research project will use a qualitative exploratory case study approach. In this connection, review of disaster case studies already conducted such as flood disastrous events that have affected the Blood tribe in southern Alberta will offer insights to look at the Kashechewan case from a different

IntroductionThis study examined qualitative research on "Pregnancy and protection: Perceptions, attitudes and experiences of Australian female adolescents" to determine designs and methods used and to discover emergent themes across study. Most of the study reviewed was described as qualitative or phenomenological by design and included samples comprising of Australian females participants exclusively. Based on analysis of the collective primary findings of the sample research studys, three themes were identified: (a) Perceptions, (b) attitudes and (c) experiences of Australian female adolescents. Overall, the study revealed that most adolescent females perceive pregnancy as a rite of passage and a challenging yet positive life event. This

In qualitative methods, the relationship between the researcher and the participant is often less formal than in quantitative research
