To learn the terms or words in common use to write a survey questionnaire - How do upper extremity amputation patients describe their participation challenges?
To validate quantitative research of provide a different perspective on the same phenomena - A quantitative study indicates that a majority of stroke patients do not take their blood pressure medications regularly; Qualitative Study -> Why has there been poor compliance with blood pressure medication in stroke patients?
Structured interviews
Semi-structured interviews
In-depth interviews
Focus groups
Observational methods
All the above
Set of structured questions
Questionnaire or by a trained interviewer
Overall loose structure
Contains closed questions that are limited in response choices that restrict the depth and variety of responses
Can be delivered to a large number of people over a relatively short time period at a reduced cost
Overall loose structure
Questions function as an agenda for the interview
Very closed in questioning, that only allows for limited answers
Questions branch out to a more open type of questioning
Interviewees are allowed to offer more detailed responses
No pre-set agenda
Strict structured agenda
Respondents allowed to lead the interview and to give their full responses
Ongoing questioning is based on the responses just obtained from the interviewee
Contains 8 to 12 people (subjects) who have been brought together to discuss a shared issue
Contains 1 to 2 facilitators that conduct the group
Facilitators provide a wide breadth of opinion on a subject matter in a relatively short space of time
Contains a large group dynamic
Researchers assess human behavior and interactions first-hand, as well as the impact of these behaviors have on the subject matter
Presence of an observer can alter people's behavior
Observer alters the human behavior natural environment
Non of the above are true
Different from quantitative methods
Subjects strategically selected based on their potential for providing information
Emphasis is on gathering as much information as possible
Also referred to as Theoretical Sampling
Convenience
Quota
Snowball
Typical case
Maximum variation
Sample size
True
False
Credibility - internal validity
Transferability - external validity
Dependability - reliability
Conformability - objectivity
All the above
Transferability = sample selection
Use of a panel of judges to select informants representative of the phenomenon under study
Comparing characteristics of informants in the study to information available in the literature
Accurate description must be provided of units of analysis, concepts generated, population characteristics, and setting
None of the above are false
Methods of data gathering, analysis, and interpretation must be described
Aspects are: Auditability, Stepwise replication, & Code-recode procedure
Dependability - Triangulation
All of the above
Contains Auditability
External auditor can follow the natural history or progression of events in a project to understand how and why decisions were made
Also suggests that other researcher could arrive at comparable conclusions given the same data and research context
States that methods of data gathering, analysis, and interpretation must be described
Inductive process
Continuous process
Begins right from the first interview and continues throughout the research process
Systematic process
Researcher seeks to identify any major recurrent themes and subthemes to data
Audio taped interview are transcribed
Read all the narratives
Extract significant statements
Create meanings by coding repetitive issues
Aggregate issues into clusters of themes
Write an exhaustive description
Determine similar concepts
Return to subjects for validation as necessary
Paraphrasing
Content validity
Citation
Plagiarism
Diligence
Accuracy
Validity
Reliability
