An Introduction to Qualitative Analysis

3.0g of salicylic acid was weighed then 3.0mL of acetic anhydride and 6 drops of 85% H3PO4 were added to it. The mixture was warmed over a water bath for 5 minutes while stirring. After warming, 20 drops of distilled water was slowly added. 15mL of water was added then the solution was heated until it became clear. It was allowed to cool and was placed in an ice bath until the solution becomes cloudy. Using pre-weighed filter paper, the mixture was filtered and was allowed to dry in the filter paper.

To determine which ions are present in the two unknown solutions. This will be accomplished by mixing three known solutions with three testing solutions. You will use this information to determine which ions are present in the unknown solutions.

The total amount of surveys to be analyzed was 110, and it was decided to break up each question as much as possible in order to make it easier to analyze.

A total of 1.5 mL was added to produce a pH of around 6. The mixture was stirred for an additional 30 minutes.

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

means selected through purposive sampling. The number of participants ranged between 20 & 300 individuals in most of these qualitative studies the participants included clinical nursing accompanied by nurse educators in one study the participants were just clinical nurses & in another they were just nursing students

Death is something that we all have to deal with, be it in our profession or in our daily lives. This article discusses the reasons why caring for dying patients is stressful for nurses and is a high risk for burn out. The article also gives findings related to the study and gives recommendations based on the results. The study shows that education is needed for the nurses that care for the dying patient.

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

The study had the aim to investigate the side effects of SSRIs (Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor) medication including "fluoxetine (Prozac), paroxetine (Aropax/ Paxil), sertraline (Zoloft), citalopram (Celexa), escitalopram (Lexapro) and fluvoxamine (Luvox)" (p. 1389). The interpretative phenomenological analysis described women's experiences who coping with "sexual difficulties as desire, arousal, orgasm and pain", caused by consumption from the medication (p. 1390).

Qualitative Inquiry is a type of research that evolves as the researcher learns new aspects about the subject they are studying (Polit & Beck, 2017). Interviewing the subjects of the study about their individual experiences and outcomes leads the researcher to a conclusion or further investigation. This discussion board assesses qualitative research and if it is feasible for the topic chosen for burnout and staffing levels in the emergency department.

One of the two articles reviews by me was a quantitative study to find out the incidence of sports injuries occurring in adolescents (6-18yrs) playing ball games: soccer, handball and basketball by Yde et al, where the number of sports injuries, their pattern and mechanism were quantified into numerical values to support a hypothesis. Other was to find the psychosocial status of injured players during their injury-rehabilitation phase: a qualitative research by Clement et al where the psychological state viz. cognitive appraisal, behavioral responses and emotional responses during the three main phases viz. injury, rehabilitation and returning to sports. The key difference between the researchers of the two studies was that the qualitative researchers wanted to

Within this Chapter the reader will be able to have a detailed understanding of the process of the research. Through my qualitative descriptive approach, I will be able to focus on how to support children in the classroom through the experience of my participants. The way I plan on collecting data is by conducting visits in three different

This study was conducted using qualitative approach. With the aim to exploring patient’s and caregivers experience of gaining access to acute stroke care Harrison et al., (2012). Qualitative approach is appropriate as the study is therefore, concerned with exploring and understanding human experience as they occur and interpret in real life, (Cook, et al., 2013). It can be argued that qualitative research focuses on the credibility of the evidence presented as an authentic account and accurate interpretation of the respondent’s viewpoints in relation to the research question being explored (Burns, et al. (2015). However, the participant could be lying about their experience, therefore qualitative cannot be benchmarked as they depend on participant

This qualitative research is going to explore why married men and married women do not participate in regular physical exercise. Regular physical exercise is an integral part of maintain a healthy lifestyle. Total data analysis of why married men and married women will be done. There are various reasons such as work load, insecurities, children etc. which effect the physical activity of the married men and married women. We are also going to explore the similarities and differences between why married men and married women do not participate in regular physical exercise.

Executive Summary This guide to using qualitative research methodology is designed to help you think about all the steps you need to take to ensure that you produce a good quality piece of work. The guide starts by telling you what qualitative methodology is and when to use it in the field (understand people’s belief system, perspectives, experiences). It also flags the most important ethical issues that you will encounter (consent and confidentiality). The second part of the guide tackles how you can concretely develop qualitative research designs; starting from clearly
