CASE STUDY Flashcards
e an invaluable record of the clinical practices of a profession
CASE STUDY
a record of clinical interactions which help us to frame questions for more rigorously designed clinical studies.
CASE STUDY
excellent technique to improve learning since they engage students and motivate them to use newly acquired skills straight away
CASE STUDY
vary from lectures or assigned readings in that they demand active participation and the purposeful use of a wide variety of abilities.
CASE STUDY
assist researchers in differentiating between knowing what to do and knowing what not to do, as well as when, how, and why to do it
CASE STUDY
- Single-case design
- Multiple-Case design
Designs of Case Study
It is where events are limited to a single occurrence. However, the drawback of this design is its inability to provide a generalizing conclusion, in particular when the events are rare
Single-case design
It can be adopted with real-life events that show numerous sources of evidence through replication rather than sampling logic
Multiple-case design
- Explanatory
- Exploratory
- Descriptive
- Multiple Case Study
- Intrinsic
- Instrumental
- Collective
Types of Case Study
This type of case study would be used if you were seeking to answer a question that sought to explain the presumed causal links in real-life interventions that are too complex for the survey or experimental strategies
EXPLANATORY
It is a type of case study that is used to explore those situations in which the intervention being evaluated has no clear, single set of outcomes
EXPLORATORY
This type of case study is used to describe an intervention or phenomenon and the real-life context in which it occurred.
DESCRIPTIVE
It enables the researcher to explore differences within and between cases.
MULTIPLE-CASE STUDY
The term ‘intrinsic’ suggests that researchers who have a genuine interest in the case should use this approach when the intent is to better understand the case. It is not undertaken primarily because the case represents other cases or because it illustrates a particular trait or problem, but because in all its particularity and ordinariness, the case itself is of interest.
INTRINSIC
It is used to accomplish something other than understanding a particular situation. It provides insight into an issue or helps to refine a theory
INTRUMENTAL
It is similar in nature and description to multiple case studies
COLLECTIVE
- provides much more detailed information than what is available through other methods, such as surveys.
- allow one to present data collected from multiple methods.
Advantages of Case Study
- Can be lengthy
- Lack rigor
- Not generalizable
Limitations of Case Study
- Introduction
- Chief Complaint
- Patient’s Profile
- Nursing History (Gordon’s Functional Pattern Of Assessment)
- Physical Examination
- Diagnostic and Laboratory Examination
- Pathophysiology
- Problem List (Prioritization of Problems)
- Nursing Diagnosis
- Nursing Care Plan
- Drug Study
- Discharge Planning (M-E-T-H-O-D-S)
