Qualitative Exploratory Case Study

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

Participation in fitness and social activities are key determinants of successful aging and enables older adults to stay in their homes and be integrated into the community. Although meeting participation needs involves older adults, their caregivers and healthcare providers, little is known about their respective viewpoints. This study thus explored the perceived, met and unmet participation needs of older adults having disabilities as seen by the older adults themselves, their caregivers and healthcare providers. A qualitative multiple case study consisted of conducting 33 semi-structured interviews in eleven triads, each composed of an older adult, his/her caregiver and a healthcare provider recruited in community health settings

The purpose of this qualitative multiple-case study is to explore strategies some immigrant small business owners use to sustain their businesses beyond five years.

In June 2011, I was home in California for a few weeks before returning to Washington for my senior year of college. While I was home for only a short time, I was thankful I was able to see my friend John*. John was a man living with schizophrenia, and while he had family in the area he lived on the streets, coming and going around several different cities. Because of this it was never a guarantee I would run into him, but you could usually find him if you knew where to look. I first met John in 2008 outside a local grocery store, one of the places he would often hang out. We struck up a conversation, and eventually a friendship. We would talk on the good days, and on the hard days when he was agitated I would simply keep him company for a

The work Qualitative Research through Case Studies by Max Travers is a good example on different methods for qualitative researchers and enlightens about their issues (Travers 2004: 2). He brings the case study of visiting a law court. Amongst others, he writes about ‘observation’. He claims that this method takes in a big amount of time. But I find that slightly paradoxal and I guess it depends of the context and of how fast the researcher works. First I thought about doing observation but after all, I dropped that idea because I doubted that it will be feasible. Moreover, ‘interviews’ are described as a very good way to find out more, when researching about a topic with a divergence in opinions. . I can imagine that I will be confronted with varying perspectives in my study.
