QUALITATIVE RESEARCH DESIGNS
Identify and describe some of your initial reactions to the article. What jumped out at you? Did this article spark a desire in you to design a similar study? Why or why not?
My immediate reaction to the article was that it demonstrates how easily and thoroughly conceptual flaws in subject recruitment and selection can undermine the relevance and accuracy of conclusions of even an otherwise well-designed and executed study (Williamson, 2009). On one hand, the study seemed to execute the five stages of critical qualitative research outlined by Carspecken (in Hardcastle, Usher, & Holmes, 2006); on the other hand, it seems to have wasted that execution on a fundamentally flawed set of subject inclusion criteria. Specifically, the study attempted to examine the correspondence and to draw logical inferences from any apparent causal relationship between elements of lived experiences prior to fully manifested vocational burnout in nurses and their development of vocational burnout symptoms (Hardcastle, Usher, and Holmes, 2006).
The apparent fundamental flaw in the study was that it study considered data exclusively from subjects who had experienced vocational burnout. Certainly, that sets of data is relevant and useful to the study. However, the restriction of subject selection to subjects who had already met the DSM-IV criteria for vocational burnout severely limited the usefulness of the findings (Williamson, 2009). In its executed design, the study was inherently limited to identifying apparent similarities of the responses of the subjects to factors that might or might not be causally related to the burnout phenomenon. However, had the study included data from subjects who did not experience vocational burnout from the same workplace settings as the subjects, the data produced by the study would have been much more useful (Williamson, 2009).
Now evaluate the choice of this qualitative design in light of the study's research problem. Explain why it is or is not an appropriate design choice.
From the conceptual perspective of the study, it seemed to have fulfilled all five of the stages of critical qualitative research outlined by Carspecken (in Hardcastle, Usher, & Holmes, 2006): (1) it built a primary record through fieldwork;...
healthcare practices and history of nursing in the Jewish culture. There are several healthcare practices within the Jewish culture. According to the rabbinic lore, no aging process existed until the time that Abraham was born. No disease also existed until the time when Jacob came to existence. The connections of Jews to the healing process at patients as well as physician level is noted to be ancient with a deep root
RN Risk prevention policy in practice The proposed study looks at lateral violence in U.S. healthcare institutions, through the scope of policy formation as it pertains to medical malpractice and organizational behavior in healthcare institutions. In recent years, investigations into lateral violence (LV) in the practice setting have become increasingly important as professional liability to 'duty' in patient care has been put under the microscope. In Tarasoff v. The Regents of the
A fourth foundational element is the strength of the Starbucks brand itself and is ubiquity globally. As a result of rapid and well-defined strategies for opening up retail stores, Starbucks is now considered one of the most preeminent and strongest brands globally. Starbucks has generated the strength of their brand through combining high-quality coffee and tea beverages with the third-place concept to generate customer loyalty and world-of-mouth among customers and their
Ethics, Values and Decision-Making in Nursing Practice RIGHT FROM WRONG A nurse's primary tasks are monitoring the patient's vital signs, administering medications, and helping doctors treat and perform procedures (Williams, 2012). Oftentimes and in many cases, these technical skills must be guided by certain and pertinent moral and ethical principles. This ethical and moral component of her overall responsibility is so important and critical that a code of ethics was created by
107) could also apply here. The confidentiality clause in such a case then only applies insofar as it is estimated that there is no need to disclose confidential information to others. In the case of Mrs. Z, her family deserves to know about her situation, because it affects their lives pertinently. Because of the increasing cultural diversity throughout the world, cultural values also play an important part in making ethical
2015 will be the year of innovation for UAE which will involve the Traditional methods of innovation system analysis that will mostly put the focus on describing the structure of an innovation system. This is being done because in the past it has been argued that it has proved to be inadequate for understanding the factors and procedures that drive and bear innovation (Kan, 2015).
