  • 2. 

     What is a characteristic of an intrinsic case study?

    • It yields a better understanding of each case.

    • It provides a foundation to challenge a generalization.

    • It does not include quantitative data.

    • It can scrutinize only uncomplicated phenomena.

    Correct Answer
    A. It yields a better understanding of each case.
    Explanation
    An intrinsic case study is undertaken to have a better understanding of the case.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

     Which of the following is most accurate regarding the grounded-theory method?

    • Data are collected using an etic perspective.

    • It is a process of constructing human experience.

    • Secondary sources are sometimes used.

    • It is an inductive approach.

    Correct Answer
    A. It is an inductive approach.
    Explanation
    Data are collected using the emic perspective (A). The grounded-theory method is a process of constructing theory from human experience (B). In grounded-theory only primary sources (the participants) are used (C).

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

     What is the term used for the coding and clustering of data to form categories in the grounded-theory method?

    • Theoretical sampling

    • Constant-comparative method

    • Emic method

    • Metasynthesis

    Correct Answer
    A. Constant-comparative method
    Explanation
    The constant-comparative method is the term used for the coding and clustering of data to form categories in the grounded-theory method. This method involves constantly comparing new data with previously collected data to identify similarities and differences, and then developing categories based on these comparisons. It is a systematic and iterative process that allows researchers to develop a theory grounded in the data.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

     Which question is helpful in determining the study’s credibility?

    • Do the participants recognize the experience as their own?

    • What strategies were used to analyze the data?

    • How were human subjects protected?

    • Are the findings applicable outside the study situation?

    Correct Answer
    A. Do the participants recognize the experience as their own?
    Explanation
    This question is helpful in determining the study's credibility because if the participants recognize the experience as their own, it suggests that the study accurately captured their experiences and that the data collected is reliable. This indicates that the study was conducted in a valid and trustworthy manner, enhancing its credibility.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

     What is meant by the “fittingness” of a research study?

    • Truth of findings as judged by the participants

    • The appropriateness of the interview questions posed

    • Faithfulness to everyday reality of the participants

    • The adequacy of the coding system used

    Correct Answer
    A. Faithfulness to everyday reality of the participants
    Explanation
    Credibility is the truth of findings as judged by the participants (A). Auditability assists the reader to judge the appropriateness of the interview questions posed (B). Auditability assists the reader to judge the adequacy of the coding system used (D).

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

     What are scientific criteria appropriate for qualitative research? Select all that apply.

    • Auditability

    • Credibility

    • Fittingness

    • Reliability

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Auditability
    A. Credibility
    A. Fittingness
    Explanation
    The scientific criteria appropriate for qualitative research include auditability, credibility, and fittingness. Auditability refers to the ability to trace the research process and findings, ensuring transparency and accountability. Credibility refers to the trustworthiness and believability of the research findings, often achieved through triangulation and member checking. Fittingness refers to the relevance and applicability of the research findings to the research context and participants. These criteria ensure that qualitative research is rigorous, trustworthy, and relevant, enhancing the validity and quality of the research findings.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

     What are ethical concerns for qualitative researchers? Select all that apply.

    • Because the study emerges over time

    • To maintain a naturalistic environment for interviews

    • Because there are so few participants in a qualitative study

    • Because the researcher and participant interact over a period of time

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Because the study emerges over time
    A. Because the researcher and participant interact over a period of time
    Explanation
    Ethical concerns for qualitative researchers include the fact that the study emerges over time, which means that the researcher must continuously monitor and reassess ethical considerations throughout the research process. Additionally, the researcher and participant interact over a period of time, which requires the researcher to establish and maintain a trusting and respectful relationship, ensuring the participant's well-being and privacy are protected. These ethical concerns are important to uphold the principles of informed consent, confidentiality, and respect for the participant's autonomy.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

     How can qualitative outcome analysis be used? Select all that apply.

    • To determine the reliability of intervention outcomes in a study

    • To confirm the applicability of clinical strategies

    • To develop interventions and then test those selected

    • To build theory

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. To confirm the applicability of clinical strategies
    A. To develop interventions and then test those selected
    A. To build theory
    Explanation
    Qualitative outcome analysis can be used to confirm the applicability of clinical strategies by examining the effectiveness of these strategies in real-world settings. It can also be used to develop interventions by identifying potential areas for improvement and testing those selected interventions. Additionally, qualitative outcome analysis can help build theory by generating new insights and understanding about the underlying processes and mechanisms behind the observed outcomes.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

     When critiquing a qualitative study

    • Has adequate time been allowed to understand the phenomenon fully?

    • Can the reader follow the researcher’s thinking?

    • Are the results meaningful to individuals not involved in the research?

    • Does the researcher document the research process?

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Can the reader follow the researcher’s thinking?
    A. Are the results meaningful to individuals not involved in the research?
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Can the reader follow the researcher’s thinking?" and "Are the results meaningful to individuals not involved in the research?" These two questions are important when critiquing a qualitative study because they assess the clarity and comprehensibility of the researcher's thinking and whether the results have broader relevance beyond the study participants. It is crucial for the reader to be able to understand the researcher's thought process and for the results to have meaningful implications for a wider audience.
