A

A

18
Q

A

Confirmability - Qualitative

19
Q

What are the aims of qualitative data analysis

A
  • data reduction, which makes reams of data more manageable
  • generation of hypothesis (questions) that can be tested using quantitative methods. Sometimes, though, the findings can be an end in themselves
  • develop a theory ( grounded theorists)
  • describe the issue ( ethnographers )
20
Q

In qualitative data analysis

A
  • counting can be useful

- software helps with organising the data

21
Q

Deborah Ward used

A

Framework analysis

22
Q

What do ethnographers do with data?

A

Describe it. They do it in great detail which is referred to as rich or thick description.

23
Q

The aim of data analysis for Grounded theorists

A

To develop a theory.

If this is not in evidence in the paper or report from the study, it is not a grounded theory.

24
Q

Focus group is not used

A
  • ‘Taboo’ subjects are discussed
  • there is a strict hierarchy among the participants
  • a dominant voice prevails
25
Q

The optimal size for a focus group

A

8 - 10

26
Q

Observations can be recorded using

A
  • field notes
  • video photography
  • observation schedule
27
Q

An interview topic guide is

A

A set of headings that guides the discussion

28
Q

Qualitative samples

A

do not need to represent the population from which they came

29
Q

The strongest sampling strategy in Qualitative Research

A

Purposive

30
Q

The sample size in qualitative research is best determined by

A

Data saturation

31
Q

Purposive sampling involves

A

Selecting participants who can give the most information

32
Q

The weakest form of sampling

A

Convenience sampling

33
Q

Convenience sampling

A
  • the weakest
  • used at the beginning of the study
  • should be followed by purposive sampling
34
Q

Snowball sampling

A

Asking participants to identify people with similar experiences so that they can be approached to take part in study

35
Q

Theoretical sampling

A

Used by grounded theorists
They use the approach to find participants to help them to develop and ‘test out’ emerging theory about the issue being researched
