The purpose of research is to add substance to a body of knowledge. The success of the research may be misleading at times or may only add a conclusion to some extent. Knowing the structure of the research will help the researcher as well as the reader discover meaning. The qualitative research sets itself in the midst of an individuals or groups of objects or “stuff” to capture an overview of logical or explicit rules by an understanding of isolated themes about the themes (Miles, & Huberman, 1994). Qualitative research and analysis are conducted by using completed verses comprised of descriptive words to depict patterns, analyze, compare, or even contrast behaviors and or actions. Qualitative analysis equates to data simplification, data display, and verification of the data for a proper conclusion (Miles, & Huberman, 1994). While there is many ways in which qualitative data may be presented, the readers evaluation of this research is important. The use of a qualitative summarization check sheet may assist the reader in determining the value of the research by quickly assessing data extent with a qualitative result as seen in attachment 1 (Clark, & Creswell, 2010). The use of explicit and vivid wording assists the reader in evaluating qualitative research.
Discussion
The study titled: Systems thinking in practice: the current status of the six WHO building blocks for health system strengthening in three BHOMA intervention districts of Zambia: a
On reading this article and identifying the study, there was a clear insight on how death and dying, and even improved health, impacted those nurses (Conte, 2014). Nurses, who worked closely with their patients, through the perils and suffering, culminating of death and losses, had grief not readily explored to enable that comfort zone (Conte, 2014).
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.
Chapter two provides a detailed description of the research methods and procedures used to conduct this study. Major sections of this chapter include a rationale for qualitative research design, a description of the setting and participants, an overview of research design, a description of the IRB approval process, data collection methods, methods for data analysis and synthesis, and ethical and trust considerations. The purpose of the proposed study is to: (a) understand the alignment between instructional designers’ knowledge and demonstrated implementation of MLPs better; and, to (b) understand the factors that influence instructional designers’ intent and actual implementation of MLPs in
together with the same reactants used before. Thirdly, mix 0.1M Na2SO4 with those reactants. Then, mix 0.1M NaOH with the same reactants used before again.
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
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
To answer Research Question 2, the researcher analyzed the responses of childcare staff on the SIS. Wage and program quality data were collected from the Supplemental Information sheet (SIS) created by the researcher (see Appendix B). Two levels of quality were: Level 1 corresponded to state licensing such as acquiring a Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) license; Level 2 corresponded to accreditation from the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC).
The article I chose to discuss is: Davis, H. A., & Bowman, S. L. (2015). Examining experiences of weight-related oppression in a bariatric sample: A qualitative exploration.
The population of interest for the proposed study includes college freshmen in Texas. This study considers college freshmen in Texas to be first-year and full-time students enrolled in any college or university in the state, aged 18 to 24 years old. As 44 percent of college students drink excessively, there is a clear need for effective alcohol education (Champion, Lewis, & Meyers, 2015). This study hypothesizes students also need alcohol education programs that cater to their university or college environment, whether it is urban or rural. Rural college students are considered those who attend college in a city with less than 50,000 residents, while urban college students attend college in a city with more than 50,000 residents

Research Question: Does inadequate education play a role in incorrect use of inhalation devices in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)?
This author has chosen the question, “In low-risk pregnant women does the presence of a professional doula, to support the woman when laboring, provide improved maternal outcomes versus utilizing only family support as evidenced by patient satisfaction?” for the focus in her capstone project. The following questions will be answered in regard to each article: 1) How does each article describe the nature of the problem, issue, or deficit you have identified, 2) Does each article provide statistical information to demonstrate the gravity of the issue, problem, or deficit? 3) What are example(s) of morbidity, mortality, and rate of incidence or rate of occurrence in the general population? 4) Does each article support your proposed change? Following a literature search the author has selected 15 articles for review, which will be outline in this paper and
One of the two articles reviews by me was a quantitative study to find out the incidence of sports injuries occurring in adolescents (6-18yrs) playing ball games: soccer, handball and basketball by Yde et al, where the number of sports injuries, their pattern and mechanism were quantified into numerical values to support a hypothesis. Other was to find the psychosocial status of injured players during their injury-rehabilitation phase: a qualitative research by Clement et al where the psychological state viz. cognitive appraisal, behavioral responses and emotional responses during the three main phases viz. injury, rehabilitation and returning to sports. The key difference between the researchers of the two studies was that the qualitative researchers wanted to
cultural and linguistic diversity in universities, colleges, and public schools. The purpose of this quantitative research literature review was to explore and provide further understanding for universities, colleges and public schools trending throughout the United States (U.S.) continuing to increase the cultural, racial, language, along with the cost-effective diversity, it is a necessity to create a culture because there is a pressing need for creating a culture of justice in which schools work for all educational level students within universities, colleges and public schools (Linton & Davis, 2013; Ming & Dukes, 2006). Educators should be challenged
This interview has revealed a deep connection (H) has with this program, students, and teacher. It has also described the successfulness this tutoring program has become for students participants as well as the success the teacher has in her classroom. In order to reach conclusions regarding the successfulness of the program and the attitude of (H) regarding the program, data from the interview must be collected and analyzed appropriately. Qualitative data collection and analysis is appropriate for an interview because it is not using numerical data but instead descriptive narrative and visual information.
