The client stated that if he was released from PWC ADC today, he would not return or violate probation. The client discussed that being on probation is not an issue for him because he learned from his mistakes and is confident that he can remain sober long-term.

The qualitative approach to research is anchored in the ideographic tradition and seeks to focus on the insider's world and the meanings that are attached to behaviour. While this is a general view of qualitative studies each qualitative design has unique foci. Hudacek (2008) examined the concept of caring in the work of nurses using a phenomenological design. Phenomenology gives attention to the subjective social reality. It gives value to the individual experience of the actor even within highly structured organizations. It is through the everyday experiences that meaning is constructed. The use of phenomenology is therefore highly consistent with the attempt to understand the meaning of caring. The design and the stated purpose of the researcher are highly congruent. The researcher noted that the purpose of the study was to "describe the dimensions of caring." Phenomenology is useful for unearthing the individuals understanding of their own behavior and consequently the meaning they attach to particular actions.

This is an academic critique of a qualitative article published in 2012, by Maj-Britt Raholm, RN, MNsc, PhD. In the article, “The ethics of presence when bathing patients in a nursing home”, the researcher intends to create a more profound understanding of the ethics of presence from the nurses perspective (Raholm, 2012, p. 30). The study will be analyzed for the credibility, conformability, and dependability to assess the strengths and weaknesses of the article. Based on the analysis a recommendation for evidence-based practice will be advised or rejected.

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

Critique of a Research Article on the Relationship between Self-care and Obesity among Rural Midlife Women

This is a qualitative case study conducted under an interpretive research paradigm. From an ontological perspective, unlike the position of the positivist paradigm in which there is the belief that there is only one truth and that objective reality does exist independent of human perception, this study employs the constructivist view of reality and the essence of phenomenon. The constructivists view truth as relative and dependent on one’s perspective. This paradigm “recognises the importance of the subjective human creation of meaning, but doesn’t reject outright some notion of objectivity” (Crabtree & Miller, 1999, p. 10). This study concurs with constructivists in that subjectivity is an inevitable part of our endeavour to understand a phenomenon, and reality is constructed and reconstructed through the process of human and social interaction (Mackenzie & Knipe, 2006). In my case, participants’ subjectivities are an inevitable part of my endeavour to understand the issues of the construction of teachers’ professional identity, which my research focuses on.

In the qualitative study, Struggles and resilience of African American women living with HIV or AIDS: A qualitative study researchers analyze responses of African American women living with HIV/AIDS over ten years who are active members of a support group.

The methodology used in the work is based on a qualitative case study, in order to describe, compare and prove how the songs can be used as a tool to ease the English learning in the Pre-Primary class. The qualitative method is important because people who practise it try to find an example of participants’ reactions to explain what people who are investigated feel and the way they think. People who practise this method also want to understand which is the reaction of the participants when they are provided in a meaningful environment Austin

My research design will be the use of the qualitative approach because it describes a person’s life experiences and situations. It focuses on a person’s experience as well as elaborating on the uniqueness of the individual. As a social inquiry, qualitative research focuses on the way people analyze and make sense of their experience and the world in which they live (Schutz, 1994). I will use the qualitative approach to explore nurses’ behaviors/ attitudes, perspectives, experiences and feelings before and after being assaulted by a mentally ill patient with emphasize on measuring nurses’ attitudes after the assault and how it affects their ability to provide care. Some of my research questions will come from Implicit Association

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.
