Qualitative Information

In the first article chosen, “Why are Nurses Leaving? Findings From an Initial Qualitative Study on Nursing Attrition,” the research method used was qualitative. The specific type of research design used was phenomenology. The participants were interviewed about their person experience of what it was like working as a registered nurse. The research question for this study was, “What is the experience of RNs who leave clinical nursing?” The sample is registered nurses (RN) with a minimum of 1 year of clinical practice and no clinical practice in the last 6 months. The sample size was ten, which were a majority of females (80%),

Gabbay J & le May write “Evidence Based Guidelines Or Collectively Constructed "Mindlines?" Ethnographic Study Of Knowledge Management In Primary Care”, which is a qualitative research to study the collective and individual data methods.(1) In this essay, I will use Critical Appraisal Skills Programme (CASP) as a framework to evaluate and analyse the strengths and weakness of the quality of this paper. The paper of Yardley Lucy(2000) as well as kitto et al(2008) will also help to shape the evaluation process.(2, 3)

This quantitative descriptive comparative study was a replica of a study that compared a small group of children with SM to socially phobic children of a similar age (Manassis et al., 2003 and McInnes et al., 2004). This study expands the findings of this small group study by replicating the small group study with a larger number of children diagnosed as normal and a group diagnosed as anxious used as comparison groups (Manassis et al., 2007). The studies goal was to establish if oral language, working memory and social, clinical impairment and intervention in these areas are helpful to SM children. No previous studies of SM have examined these three factors within the same sample. Academic centers in Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal was

The purpose of this study is to explore how living arrangement influences a lateral transfer student’s transitional experience and social integration which allows university faculty to make the adjustment and integration experiences for transfer students less anxiety and stress provoking. Therefore, making transfer students feel supported by their institutions.

" ... It is certainly affected by lifestyle, nutrition. Oh well, it is also a bit a genetic matter, but we cannot do anything on that, and then also prevention is for me a rather useful"

We describe the results of quantitative information theoretic analyses of neural encoding, particularly in the primate visual, olfactory, taste, hippocampal, and orbitofrontal cortex. Most of the information turns out to be encoded by the firing rates of the neurons that is by the number of spikes in a short time window. This has been shown to be a robust code, for the firing rate representations of different neurons are close to independent for small populations of neurons. Moreover, the information can be read fast from such encoding, in as little as 20 ms. In quantitative information theoretic studies, only a little additional information is available in temporal encoding involving stimulus-dependent synchronization of different neurons,

Qualitative research also known as exploratory research, it is used to get a general understanding of an underlying reasons, opinions, and motivations. This allows researchers to dive into the problem and gain insight to possible ideas or hypothesis that could potential for being qualitative research. Qualitative research use unstructured techniques to collect data for research. Some examples of qualitative research would include dairy accounts, interviews and are normally in small groups.

I will explain how quantitative and qualitative strategies and methods/procedures are similar and different. In qualitative strategies, there is a focus on "data collection, analysis and writing" (p. 176). In qualitative strategies usually may fall in line with survey designs and experiments. The strategies followed the same general format such as purpose, data collection, data analysis and conclusion. The differences between the two for methods and procedures is the following: for quantitative methods they tend to be used in a pretest and posttest control group designs. This is done by following six steps which include administering measures of the dependent variable, assign the participants to pairs, randomly assign members to the control group or experimental group, expose the experimental group, administer measures of dependent variables and finally the performance. For

To analyze the results of evaluation, the evaluators will undertake a robust analysis to identify whether or not there are any differences in patient characteristics and treatments provided by the six Victorian hospitals to Aboriginal people and non-Aboriginal people. The qualitative data will be transcribed and analyzed by using NVivo software based on the evaluation frameworks. Whereas the quantitative data would be assessed by using SPSS in order to measure the impacts of the policy directions, funding, workforce competencies and performance to facilitate the change in service delivery. To strengthen the validity of findings, we also conduct triangulation that will help to compare the qualitative data based on the opinion of key stakeholders and quantitative data from any sources. After completing data analysis, we will conduct a consultation with key stakeholders to discuss the preliminary findings, to establish any conclusions, and then to identify a possible improvement for strengthening the evidence. To eliminate the possible bias in justifying a conclusion, we will conduct some reflection by involving Aboriginal people.

The purpose of this qualitative exploratory case study is to explore how women-owned businesses use the financial strategies to increase business in Florida. Establishing a relationship with these business owners is important as it relates to the profit and growth of the various concepts in the financial acquisition that involve participants (Bardwell, 2015). The general business problem is that women-owned businesses have a limited amount of financial strategies to sustain profitability.

According to Dudley (2011), quantitative data are useful in providing numerical measures of characteristics of a sample of people, whereas qualitative data can provide descriptive accounts on the same topics. These descriptive topic accounts are valuable because they can contribute pertinent information in the words of each

The qualitative data that is collected from my group assessment would be analyzed by reviewing the data collected to gain an understanding of the material then to process the material by examining the data for common patterns of routine. The information that many generalist social workers find out during an intake interview, it very limited information that aid in assisting the client. A lot of the times clients are not forth coming about everything that is happening in their lives.

Throughout this article, Robert Sutton summarizes his three-month qualitative study of data, in regards to the emotions that collectors emit to debtors. While analyzing the data provided by the facility manager, Sutton used seven methods in order to get a better understanding of how collectors emotions are transferred toward the particular debtor they are dealing with. These seven methods included: Interacting with a key informant, training as a collector, working as a collector, group interviews, supervisor interviews, observing collectors, and lastly, written materials. Sutton argues that maintaining norms about expressed emotions was a struggle for some of the collectors, as having the right tone of voice, including intensity and firmness,

For instance, when employees are given an opportunity to choose the right date for their retirement, they are able to plan get ready for retirement. That means they are able to have sufficient savings and remain happy after retirement. This makes their retirement planning easier and favorable. Additionally, such workers are able to have sufficient psychological setting to allow them retire gracefully (Basu, 2005). What is more, a qualitative aspect like having the right economic and psychological factors set make planning easier. This is because planners are able to verify the basic requirements of their clients before they make a retirement plan. Planning ensures that life after work is catered for in all angles. Assessing the needs and factors affecting their clients allow them to make the right plans that will inculcate all the needs of their clients in life after retirement. Qualitative aspects discussed in the articles help planners make retirement plans that will make their clients happy and comfortable. This makes clients be able to take care of their needs after retirement and live
