Quantitative and Qualitative Research Methodology Comparison Research, as defined by Merriam Webster, is “the activity of getting information about a subject” (Research, n.d.). When looking at the research process there are two main approaches for gathering information; qualitative and quantitative approaches. The qualitative approach focuses on describing information in a deep thought provoking manner. Adversely, the quantitative approach focuses on information from a larger number of people and
Critiquing Quantitative, Qualitative, or Mixed Methods Studies Paper Quantitative and qualitative research studies are both significant in nursing. In this paper, I will be critiquing two articles using both approaches. Using Walden’s database system, the articles will be located and compared to one another. After this assignment, I hope to gain a better understanding if critiquing research articles. Providing care for patients diagnosed with brain tumors is the topic I selected to research
Page (2012) stated that the importance and purpose of research is to answer an enquiry or define a phenomenon in a scientific practice, and building new knowledge. A specific research design also provides validity and reliability to the findings. Evidence based practice is important to sport therapy as it allows therapists to analyse and interpret research when performing or evaluating studies for clinical practice (Page, 2012). For example, clinical observations are often diagnosed in order to
Becker, H. S. (2010). How to Find Out How to Do Qualitative Research. International Journal Of Communication (19328036), 4545-553. Background: In 2009 the National Science Foundation held a conference and issued a document about qualitative methods – what they are lacking. This article pointed out the shortcomings of that report. The NSF went so far has to tell researches using qualitative methods to learn real science- defined as theoretically derived, testable hypotheses, with methods of data gathering
breastfeeding. The context of the articles was reviewed to conclude if there is a correlation of postpartum depression and breastfeeding and to see if there are additional benefits to breastfeeding in relation to preventing postpartum depression. Some keywords used to search for articles were “postpartum”, “breastfeeding”, “mental health”, “postnatal care” and “women’s health”. The articles were specific to the qualitative, quantitative and mixed-method styles of research. Abstracts were used to interpret
Critiquing A Qualitative And Quantitative Study Eunique Burgos Kaplan University Critiquing Qualitative and Quantitative Studies In this research paper, we are to critique two different articles where one is based upon a qualitative study and the other one is based upon a quantitative study. The articles that were chosen for us to critique are The Effects Of Crossed Leg On Blood Pressure Measurement, which is the quantitative study and The Experience Of Patients Undergoing Awake Craniotomy
Critical appraisal is the process of systematically examining research evidence to assess its validity, results, and relevance. (Hill, 2001) Critical appraisal of research is preformed by clinicians prior to using it to make healthcare decisions. The critical appraisal process systematically finds, appraises, and acts on evidence based research after thorough review. The use of
completely new to the reader. Reading research material is not different in the gathering or reading. However, the material itself is different. Research material is written with either qualitative or quantitative gathered results to add specific conclusions for the identified topic. Qualitative material refers to research that pertains to words that may or may not equate measurements in its conclusion (Strauss, & Corbin, 1990). Whereas the quantitative research material refers to numerically measured
they grow up. However, research has been done that proves that children who experience domestic violence as they are growing up, especially young boys, are more likely to engage in violent and aggressive behavior in the future in their own personal relationships. “[T]he men in the exposed [to domestic violence] group were also significantly more likely to use abusive tactics in their interpersonal relationships then men in the non-exposed group.” (Kimball, 2014). Research on this topic includes
This paper primarily concerns qualitative research, but we were asked to compare both qualitative and quantitative methods. During comparison, there are many noted differences in both study designs, but not many similarities. Qualitative research uses a subjective approach with a large sample population. It collects non-statistical data, using an unstructured or semi-structured technique (Nieswiadomy & Bailey, 2018). Quantitative research uses an objective approach and large, random, sampling to
