9. Qualitative Analyses

However this is not implicit throughout the study, Anne-Marie Ambert seems to have used the cognitive styles analysis, which focuses on the future effects a past event may have upon the individual analyzed. For instance, peer abuse could materialize in conflicts with the parents, lowering grades or even failure in becoming socially integrated. The main codes were the classification of the student testimonials of past events into different categories. These categories contained similar recollections, but were highly different between themselves. The main theme revolved around the idea that peer abuse is not paid enough attention, even more so when it can generate tremendous effects upon children and young adults.

The context of peer abuse was explained in an adequate manner in the meaning that it dealt with past experiences and future impacts of peer abuse. The limitation was…...

Qualitative Study

Domestic violence is an ongoing experience of physical, psychological, and even sexual abuse in the home that is often a method used by one adult to establish control and power over another person. Exposure by children to marital aggression is now a recognized public health concern. The investigation of the effects of the exposure to this type of aggression on the functioning of a child is a significant societal concern.

Purpose/goal/research questions of the study

DeHart and Alshuler (2009) examined incarcerated women's accounts of their children's exposure to violence prior to the mother's incarceration. The researchers stated that previous research has explored the consequences of children having their mothers incarcerated (which is summarized and it appears that incarceration alone has few consequences to the health and behavior of children); however, there is a dearth of research on these children prior to the mother's incarceration. This is a central…...

Qualitative esearch Article Critique: Why Are Nurses Leaving? Findings from an Initial Qualitative Study on Nursing Attrition

In her article Why Are Nurses Leaving? Findings from an Initial Qualitative Study on Nursing Attrition, MacKusick (2010) outlines the fact there is a nursing shortage that remains problematic, however, research with nurses no longer in clinical practice is rare. This study focused was to understand the factors that are influencing the decision of registered nurses (Ns) to leave clinical nursing. MacKusick's report indicates a phenomenological research design was done in order to disclose the complex phenomena persuading the Ns' choices to leave clinical nursing practice. During the course of the study, certain themes emerged from the data which were collected and coded -- these themes are charted in the results…...

United States, an estimated 5.2 million people suffer from Alzheimer's disease and the number is expected to increase dramatically over the next 30 years (reviewed by Lewis, 2014). Dementia care has therefore become a significant burden on the healthcare system and will only worsen over time. The costs of dementia care would be much higher if not for the contributions made by family caregivers, contributions which reduce the cost of care by almost half, but the psychological and physical toll on caregivers has resulted in additional medical expenses, reaching an estimated $9.1 billion for 2012. Caregiver support is therefore essential to lowering the overall cost of dementia care, but a number of barriers exist which prevent optimal health outcomes for both patients and caregivers, including those interfering with timely referrals to hospice care. Among the different barriers, those associated with physicians should be among the easiest to change.
Although a…...

Scientific Merit Paper: Patient Input This qualitative study of Doekhie (et al., 2018) demonstrated scientific merit in advancing the knowledge base of the extent to which elderly, chronically ill patients can have a role in exercising oversight over their care. As more and more of the population base is classified as geriatric, facilitating patient autonomy and improved mental health becomes more and more critical. This is one of the reasons the study employed a qualitative approach, to allow patients to have direct input into shaping the trajectory of their care to the maximum extent possible. The article did not have an underlying theory, however, such a Dorothea Orem’s self-care deficit theory, which stresses that the nurse is present to step in only when the patient is unable to supply needed self-care for him or herself (Clarke, et al., 2009). This study suggests that patients have the willingness to provide more input…...

Social Survey (GSS) is a data analysis technique that is utilized to examine issues in the society. This technique has been utilized since 1972 to examine societal change and evaluate the increasing complexity of the American society (NOC, n.d.). The General Social Survey explains trends and constants based on attributes, behaviors and attitudes, which help in effective assessment of the structure and functioning of the society. Consequently, this technique is considered suitable for sociology research because of its focus on examining the structure and functioning of the society. This paper provides quantitative data analysis using the General Social Survey technique. In this case, the researcher has identified at least two research questions, their related variables, and the results of the data analysis.

This quantitative study looks at the impact of changing needles before administering intramuscular (i.e., injected into the muscle) pain medication to reduce patient pain.

What were the independent and dependent variables in the study?

In this research, pain outcome was the independent variable, while investigator and injection technique constituted the dependant variables.

Is this study, experimental or non- experimental?

This is an experimental research performed in a clinical (i.e., hospital) setting wherein subjects were studied within a randomized setting.

An experimental research is typically randomized, that is, participants are grouped in different clusters by chance. Although ever controlled research is not a randomized one, every randomized trial is invariably controlled. An RCT (Randomized Clinical Trial) approach has been adopted in the given study.

quality where data is gathered through interviews, surveys and observations, while quantitative study establishes its results on the basis of surveys, questionnaires and statistical data. A quantitative study "Study of Nurses' Knowledge about Palliative Care: A Quantitative Cross-sectional Survey" by Prem et al. can be compared with the qualitative study in question to understand the difference. The aim of this study is to assess the knowledge of nursing professionals about palliative care through a palliative care knowledge test (PCKT) (Prem et al., 2012).
A cross-sectional survey has been done amongst 363 nurses working in a multi-speciality hospital by using a questionnaire PCKT, unlike qualitative study done by Dykes et al. that utilized a sample of 23 Ns and 19 NAs which can be easily interviewed, questioned and observed. A general finding of the quantitative study was in agreement with the previously established facts of poorer knowledge of palliative care but…...

Critical Appraisal of esearch Studies: Surgical Site Infections (SSI)Surgical site infections (SSIs) are a serious source of concern worldwide. They are not only a health risk to patients but also pose a significant risk in terms of an increase in antibiotic-resistant bacteria infections. Yet, there is a gap between theoretical knowledge of how to prevent such infections and how providers implement them. The issue of SSIs has been quantitatively identified as a serious issue and is especially disheartening, given it is a preventable one: an estimated 60% of all SSIs are preventable, if providers follow guidelines (Mengesha et al., 2020).This failure of compliance, however, is not particularly to underserved or low-resource medical systems. Prevalence of SSIs is around 19.6% in Europe, 20% in the U.S., and in Africa as low as 12% in Algeria and as high as 31% in Nigeria (Mengesha et al., 2020). Within Ethiopia alone, infection rates…...

leadership is understood today is in the dichotomy between transactional leadership and transformational leadership. Where the former focuses on execution of tasks, the latter has become more popular in the knowledge economy. The basic theory of transformational leadership is said to "transform followers' personal values and self-concepts and move them to higher level of needs and aspirations" (Gumusluogu & Ilsev, 2009, 1). In essence, transformational leadership encourages both individual transformational, and by way of that, transformation of the organization as a whole. Since the concept was first developed, transformational leadership has been studied extensively, and there is evidence to support the idea that transformational leadership is associated with superior performance at both individual and organizational levels (Wang et al., 2011). However, there remains a need to understand the way by which this process works. In other words, we know that transformational leadership often has a positive influence on an…...

Discussion of the Differences Between Quantitative and Qualitative Research Q1. How does a research problem/question guide the determination to conduct a quantitative versus a qualitative research study?
In general, qualitative research is exploratory in nature and seeks to understand a particular phenomenon from a particular subject’s perspective (McLeod, 2017). It is open-ended in its focus and the researcher has no predetermined conclusions before embarking upon the study. As a result, it focuses on a small rather than a large population. In stark contrast, a quantitative study seeks to understand a phenomenon in an objective fashion that is generalizable to a large population (McLeod, 2017). It is often framed in the form of a predetermined hypothesis and is narrow in its focus.
Q2. Discuss the value of using a conceptual framework or theory (grand or mid-range) to guide a quantitative research study. Address the debate of the appropriateness of using of a conceptual framework…...

Healthcare Associated Infections: Critical Analysis
The prevention and control of healthcare associated infections is an issue that has attracted considerable attention across the globe given the increase of healthcare associated infections. Despite the development and use of several strategies and measures to lessen the burdens caused by healthcare associated infections, the practices of healthcare professionals are largely suboptimal while the infections persist. As a result, the prevention and control of these infections has attracted considerable concern, which has resulted in several studies on the practices and behaviors of healthcare practitioners. Carole Jackson, Karen Lowton and Peter Griffiths have conducted a research on nurses' prevention behaviors to control healthcare associated infections. The qualitative study utilizes vignettes created from nurses' reports of infection prevention behaviors and practices.

Problem Statement

Healthcare associated infections can be described as infections that emerge from medical interventions like clinical or surgical processes or from contact with a healthcare environment and…...

Falter in Quality
The strength of the use of interviews as a data collection device is that they ensure a high rate of response; that the interviewer can tailor his or her response to the subjects' responses over the course of the interview; and the interviewer can clarify any ambiguous responses. Problems with interviews can arise when the subjects make their responses conform to the unintentionally communicated expectations of the interviewer, based on a desire to 'please' the researcher. To ensure quality control in my process of interviewing I tried to adhere to a relatively similar script between interviews for comparison of subject responses. I did not want to be overly directive during the interview and only intervened if the subjects were confused and had no response to my queries. I transcribed and recorded the interviews to ensure I was not missing any critical word choices that might be revelatory…...

Title: Teachers' Perception on Work-Life Balance
Introduction
Work-life balance has become an increasingly important topic in the modern workforce, as individuals strive to maintain a healthy equilibrium between their professional responsibilities and personal life. This balance is particularly crucial for teachers, who often face high levels of stress and burnout due to the demanding nature of their profession. Understanding teachers' perceptions on work-life balance can provide valuable insights into the challenges they face, as well as potential solutions to support their well-being and job satisfaction.
