According to Polit (2010), “a research critique is a careful and objective appraisal of a study’s strengths and limitations” (p. 95).

relevant” A focus group study of older adults’ perceived importance of HIV/AIDS prevention education” on the amount of education older adults have about HIV/ AIDS. Katz and Altschuler both worked on figuring out, how aware are the older adults of HIV/AIDS prevention. Their study’s hypothesis was the perception of HIV/AIDS prevention education. In their study they wanted to discover the reasons why adults over 50 are not being educated on HIV/AIDS prevention. (Altschuler, Katz, 2015) Altschuler and Katz
methods is currently increasing in social science research since it emphasizes methodological pluralism, and provides a broader and more credible understanding of the research problem than the use of a single method (Tashakkori and Teddlie 2010). However, mixing methods for no good reason other than the sake of it can produce disjointed and unfocussed research, and can severely test the capabilities of researchers. I raise some cautionary issues in this paper by critiquing the methodology in the journal

nursing, it is lacking in formal, standardized definitions and research methodologies. As a relatively new concept to the field, it is has not gained widespread use yet. A formal concept analysis will be conducted to better understand intersectionality and its place in nursing. The term intersectionality is widely credited to Kimberly Crenshaw’s 1989 article “Demarginalizing the intersection of race and sex: A black feminist critique of antidiscrimation doctrine, feminist theory, and antiracist

This chapter provides a brief discussion of the primary and the secondary methods to be considered in designing a qualitative study. This discussion does not replace the many excellent, detailed references on data collection (we refer to several at the end of this chapter). Its purpose is to guide the

If secondary research and data analysis is undertaken with care and diligence, it can provide a cost-effective way of gaining a broader understanding of specific phenomena and/or conducting preliminary needs assessments. Secondary data are also helpful in designing subsequent primary research and, as
