the researcher seeks to udnerstand the nature/experience of phenomenon by acquiring personal accounts of it
What are the components of a qual study
review of literature
study design,
study setting and sample approaches for data collection
analysis of study findings
conclusions with implications for practice and research.
In qual research, what does the study design need to be congruent with
the philosophical beliefs of qual researchers
What are some examples of study designs you would not see in qual ressearch
random sampling
tons of questionaires
regression analysis
What is a pilot study and what info might be in one
the study done before the main study
they might include whether the research design was able to get the info they needed
What are the steps to sampling
IDing the sample group
developing strategies for recruitment
What is a main difference between the data collection settings of qual vs quan
qual is done in more naturalistic settings like at someones home
When does data collection usu stop
when they start getting redundancy (data saturation)
What is the goal of qual data analysis
to find the commonalities and diffs in the interviews
then group the findings into broader categories called themes
how do qual study describe their data
usu in some kind of order like most to least prevalent/chronological time
What is an important part to inlcude in your findings
quotes of other works that connect to the findings in some way
What are the Kearney’s Categories of Qualitative Findings, from Least to Most Complex
restricted by a priori framework descriptiive categories shared pathway or meaning depiction of experiential variation dense explanatory description
What are the Kearney’s Categories of Qualitative Findings used for
to gage how well findings can be applied in a clinical setting
Whats is the applicability of Restricted by a priori frameworks
little to no evidence for cahnging practice bec findings were prematurely limited
Whats is the applicability of descriptive categories
they provide a map to uncharted teritory
Whats is the applicability of shared pathway
helps us see the bigger picture by showing how bits of data come together in a meaningful way
Whats is the applicability of depiction of experiential variation
helps us know how diff variables produce diff outcomes
What are the four modes of kearneys clinical application:
insight or empathy
assessment of status or progress
anticipatory guidance
coaching.
What is insight or empathy good for
helps us to understand experiences so we can offer more sensitive support
What is assessment of status orprogress good for
helps us understand the ranges of responses of clients and helps us locate them on a specific trajectory
What is anticipitory guidance good for
helps give pat understanding of resources available and markers of condition s
What is coaching good for
