Q

describe the researchers roles in QLR (5)

A
  • identify & be conscious of their biases, values, and personal background (reflexivity)
  • connections w research site & participants
  • ethics review board permission
  • gaining entry to site
  • be aware of sensitive ethical issues (ex. their connections w the research participants can cause ethical issues)

Q

describe theoritical sampling

A
  • she didnt rlly give a solid definition of it but this is my understanding*
  • decide what samples you need as you go thru your study & identify what themes you need more data on
    ex. study of cancer pts, they discuss traditional medicine, now you need more info on traditional medicine

16
Q

what is data saturation (2)

A
  • when you no longer are getting new data

- point when you stop doing data collection

17
Q

what is theoretical saturation

A
  • when there are no new concepts coming out around the theory
18
Q

QL data collection should maintain reflexivity, what does this mean?

A
  • the researcher remains aware of the part they play in the study and the possible effects these can have on the data
19
Q

describe various characteristics of QL data collection (4)

A
  • flexible data collection that evolves as the study progresses
  • involves purposefully selected sites & people
  • incudes various types of data –> textual, images,
  • gaining people’s trust is v important to prevent superficial data
20
Q

what are some methods of QL data collection (5)

A
  • qualitative observation
  • unstructured or semi-structued interviews
  • focus groups
  • documents
  • audio & visual materials
21
Q

what is photo-voice

A
  • a research method that employs photography and group dialogue as a means for participants to control the camera and tell the story themselves
22
Q

what do the images in photo-voice allow? (2)

A
  • reveal meanings

- foster dialogue and community action

23
Q

describe data recording in QLR (3)

A
  • uses protocols for recording observational data
  • research staff require extensive training (imp to avoid paraphrasing of results, etc.)
  • includes handwritten notes, audio, or video recording
24
Q

describe QL data analysis (4)

A
  • analyzes narrative interview transcripts (or other narrative sources)
  • occurs concurrently w data collection
  • utilizes QL computer data analysis programs
  • there are design specific analysis
25
Q

what kind of data does QL produce

A
  • rich & dense data
26
Q

what is rigor r/t QL (3)

A
  • the QL version of reliability & validity
  • a systemic approach to establish the scientific merit & quality of QLR,
  • trustworthiness of data
27
Q

rigor needs to be balanced w

A
  • creativity and subjectivity , which is inherent in QLR
28
Q

rigor arose from

A
  • the criticism of QNR that QLR was “soft” and without standards
29
Q

what are some imp characteristics about rigor (3)

A
  • there is not s ingle set of criteria that contribute to valid knowledge
  • all knowledge, however well founded, is uncertain
  • there is a need for common quality criteria
30
Q

what 4 concepts are linked to rigor & trustworthiness

A
  • credibility
  • dependability
  • confirmability
  • transferability
31
Q

what is included when assessing credibility (3)

A
  • are the research findings are plausible and
    trustworthy, true, accurate
  • look at the research team –> do they have the credits? do they actually do research in this area?
  • does it include rich quotes?
  • are there structures in place? (ex. field notes, audit trail)
32
Q

what is included when assessing dependability

A
  • The extent to which the research could be
    replicated in similar conditions
  • An expectation that methods, logic, and reasoning guiding a study should be clear, stable, and consistent
  • can you follow how the findings were developed by the researcher? (ex. meeting notes)
33
Q

what is included when assessing confirmability (3)

A
  • An expectation that results should be supported by participants, other researchers, and existing literature.
  • neutrality in findings?
  • quotes –> confirm what was said was actually said
  • member checks –> give data/ preliminary findings to some participants and ask if what they have written makes sense/is true?
34
Q

what is included when assessing transferability

A
  • can this be applied to other settings? limits to application?
  • similar to external validity (generalizability) of QN
35
Q

what is included when assessing transferability

A
  • can this be applied to other settings? limits to application?
36
Q

what is used to critically appraise QLR

A
  • JBI critical appraisal checklist

A
  • focuses on pulling out key themes from the data set

- often used in GT

39
Q
