According to Polit & Beck (2017), the primary parameters of evaluating a qualitative research article include the research methods, the research design and its tradition, the setting and sampling methods, data collection and measurement, procedures, and ethics and protections of human rights. The Van Oostveen, Mathijssen & Vermeulen (2015) study uses qualitative methodology to examine the Dutch nurses’ perceptions of staff-to-patient ratio, staffing levels, and also the patient classification system. The research was motivated by preliminary studies showing that staffing levels have become low enough to potentially endanger patient safety. Ultimately, the researchers found that nurses perceive their role in the hospital as being subordinate, which is exacerbating existing tensions and staffing problems.
Research Methods
The descriptive phenomenological approach uses multiple methods of data collection including focus groups and interviews. The Managing Complex Change model was used to generate topical questions for the focus groups and interviews. Using an established model helped add validity to the study.
Research Design and Tradition
Phenomenology is the tradition underlying this research. The researchers were interested in the lived experiences of nurses at a Dutch hospital. Specifically, a descriptive phenomenological design is used in this in depth case study of a 1000-bed Dutch university hospital. The researchers employ multiple methods in order to detect common concerns or themes among the...

The article evaluated in this paper is the study by Farmer, J.R., MacKinnon, S.P., & Cowie, M. (2017) titled 'Perfectionism and Life Narratives: A Qualitative Study.'The research
recruiting study participants as well as collecting and analyzing data are important markers of research credibility and integrity. In quantitative research, the major components of methodology include research design, population and sampling, ethics, data collection, and procedures. The appropriate research design, sample size, and data collection instrument must be selected (Coughlan, Cronin & Ryan, 2007). Hayes, Douglas & Bonner's (2015) study took the form of cross-sectional design. Though this
Hourly Nurse Rounds Critiquing Validity and Robustness of Research in Hourly Nurse Rounds There are different kinds of studies that are carried out in the nursing field to examine various issues in patient care. An understanding of these issues requires examining these studies to gain insights and inform practice.
