Question | Answer |
---|---|
qualitative research design | study of human experiences in a holistic fashion in order to interpret and understand phenomena, guide practice, and develop theory **an emergent design** |
characteristics of qualitative design | -no manipulation, no control/treatment grps, no randomization, no hypotheses -researcher is an active agent -flexibility in who, what, when, where, and how to collect data -use of diverse and lengthy data collection strategies (interviewing) |
goal of qualitative design | to describe, interpret, and understand meaning of phenomena in a natural setting |
types of qualitative designs | -ethnographic -phenomenological -grounded theory -historical analysis |
ethnographic design | -scientific study of the meanings, patterns, and experiences of a defined cultural group -macroethnography: depression in N.A, homosexuality in haitians -microethnography: children of incarcerated parents, homeless veterans, circumcised females |
phenomenological design | scientific study of essence and meaning of the lived experiences of humans...the phenomena associated with "being in the world" (ex: grieving loss of self in persons with cancer, grieving loss of another in death of twin, stress of awaiting a kidney) |
grounded theory design ex: chinese persons with cancer overcoming powerlessness, migrant workers with HTN achieving self efficacy, rural community response to loss of health care services) | scientific study of basic social processes and social structures occurring in a social setting...associated with a social problem that a defined group experiences and the processes instituted to cope with or resolve the problem |
historical analysis design | scientific study of causes, effects, and relationships associated with a past event to better understand current behaviors ex: strategies of nurses in reducing mortality during the Crimean war, development of the "doctor's handmaiden" concept in nursing |
study designs | -retrospective ex emotional impact of living with a pacemaker) -prospective ex evolution of strategies to minimize fatigue in patients with cancer) -crosssectional ex spousal experience of a heart transplant) -longitudinal ex mothers exp. of 1st pregn |
concepts of qualitative research: data saturation | discontinuing data collection when it becomes repetitive; no new info being gathered |
concepts of qualitative research: bracketing | identifying and setting aside researcher's personal biases concerning phenomenon being studied |
concepts of qualitative research: bricolage | collecting data from a variety of sources (primary or secondary) |
quantitative designs | -compartmental -obj. -explore relationships -large sample -extensive approach -use of instruments in a controlled manner -computer to arrange and analyze data -deductive analysis (whole to parts) |
qualitative designs | -holistic -subj. -explore experiences -small sample -intensive approach -use of interviews, observations -computer to manage data -inductive analysis (parts to whole) |
evaluation research | purpose: assess effectiveness of a program, practice, procedure, or policy focus: process, impact, outcome, or cost-benefit analysis design: all quantitative designs involving interventions |
outcomes research | purpose: assess effectiveness of health care services focus: structure, process, or outcomes of large scale or global services design: non-experimental designs as no interventions involved |
