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
The article depicted the human side of nurses; it tells how nurses formulate that that bond with their patients and their families, nurturing them through life challenges to the end, while showing the emotional impact that is produced from that formed relationship. Through the entire article, it was very easy to see the
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 purpose of the literature evaluation is to explore the wider academic landscape surrounding the research question in order to develop an understanding of the evolution of current themes and narratives in the education sector involving facilitating learning outcomes and the evidence-based process behind this objective.
A qualitative study delves into a social or human problem in hopes to formulate a theory about that phenomenon. Paterson et al. (2005) performed a qualitative study that formulated a theory on how male nursing students learn to care. The researchers discovered how and what aspects perpetuated males to learn to care for patients empathetically while in nursing school. This paper will critique the above study noted and provide rationales.
The following qualitative annotated bibliography is a quick summary of articles that are important for my research about antimicrobial food packaging. Moreover, it includes my opinion about the content of the articles and the evaluation of the materials. I have a background in Food Engineering and I am very interested in helping to reduce food waste by increasing the shelf life of edible products using antimicrobial food packaging. Furthermore, by using these kinds of package it would be possible to reduce chemical food preservatives as well as maintain food quality.
Qualitative research reflects different ways that researcher’s collect data and explore all of the information through literature review. Participant’s that are reviewing is often observed for analysis while “the role of the researcher focuses as the primary data collection instrument necessitates the identification of personal values, assumptions and biases at the outset of the study; Qualitative researchers ask at least one central question” (Creswell, 2014, which can be explored in several contexts with further questions. According to the text Research Design (2014) “the researcher’s role is typically involved in a
Research, educational and action, are key to the continued improvement of educational methodologies and strategies. Educational research provides theories and pedagogy by organizing “empirical facts” (Johnson, 2012, p. 9). These scientific studies reach peer-reviewed conclusions that can be applied in multiple situations. Action research is more specific and focuses to provide a usable action plan (Johnson, 2012, p. 16).
Also, there were four focus groups broken down between mothers, fathers, adolescent males and adolescent females, and they were scheduled to be held simultaneously on each of five dates scheduled between December 2007 and March 2008 (Akers, Borrero, Corbie-Smith, & Schwarz, 2010). The results of the study displayed a

Research is used in nursing to support evidence based practice (EBP) and is done through qualitative and quantitative research. Qualitative research will be the emphasis of the study performed by Wittich and Southall (2008) analyzing the diary of a 66 year old female and her personal journey of managing the extended time period of being positioned facedown after her ocular surgery (p. 437). Description of qualitative research and evaluation of the qualitative evidence, trustworthiness, and thematic coding will be discussed in the body of this paper.

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.
Qualitative and quantitative research assume an instrumental part in item advancement. Information acquired from the quantitative research incorporate client inclinations, socioeconomics, and advertise measure offers imperative data which is utilized for business basic leadership. Qualitative research gives information which is utilized to the plan of an item, and client prerequisites. Both of the methodologies have qualities and shortcomings which ought to be tended to when doing an exploration procedure. There are advantages which are collected from consolidating the two techniques. Quantitative investigation is communicated in numbers. Information in quantitative research is in numeric frame, so measurable tests are pertinent. The depiction of measurements which can be utilized incorporates standard deviation, mean, and middle. Measurable investigation empowers the specialists to infer huge certainties. In this view, the paper will talk about Qualitative and quantitative research concentrating on their focal points and inconveniences.
