Conceptualizing a Qualitative Research Question

Well informed questions are key to good research design (Yale University, 2015). The foundational approach of augmenting our dimensions to conceptualizing a research inquiry is very significant in how we form research purpose (Yale University. (2015). This is because research questions defined the purpose of the research process. I could hypothetically design qualitative research question […]

Mixed Methods Research

A mixed methods research design is a procedure for collecting, analyzing, and “mixing” both quantitative and qualitative research and methods in a single study to understand a research problem. Research bias occurs when researchers try to influence the results of their work, in order to get the outcome, they want. Often, researchers may not be […]

Theoretical Framework vs Conceptual Framework

Theoretical and conceptual frameworks provide evidence of academic standards and procedure. They also offer an explanation of why the study is pertinent and how the researcher expects to fill the gap in the literature. Grant and Osanloo (2014) described theoretical framework as a foundational framework of which all information and understanding is formed for a […]

Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA)

Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) is very fascinating in its tenets for so many reasons and for beneficial factors. Its inception was very familiar from the beginning, since the model was initially focused on associating beliefs, behavior, actions and psychological reactions. Tremethick, Johnson & Carter (2011) explained quality end-of-life care, as subjective—was based on people’s […]

Theoretical Lens

           Theoretical lens in qualitative analysis is a framework that provides explanations, and methods of our experiences of phenomena in the world (Moore, 2006)). This allows us to see how we could form an interpretive context of the mind. Theoretical lens in qualitative research could provide explanation of set of ideas used in research design […]

Breast Cancer and Widespread

One of the effective ways in tackling the widespread of breast cancer is to focus on the health-related causes of early breast cancer detection, which include making recommendations for the effective stress management intervention, for breast cancer patients. Early breast cancer detection through screening mammography is the most effective way to reduce mortality rate from the […]

Qualitative Research Approach—Why Its Usage?

Consider the statement: Qualitative researchers study people in their natural settings, attempting to make sense of phenomena in terms of the meanings people bring to them.           Qualitative research approach is a study that uses narrative reporting to explain and analyses behaviors of people and the implications of their actions (Erickson, 2011). It is equally […]

Utilizing Data Collection—Pros and Cons

There are pros and cons to any method of utilizing data collection. For example, many researchers think individual interview takes a great deal of time and, even money (Brannen, 2005 ). Individual interviews help access the context of people’s behavior and thereby provide a route for researchers to comprehend the meaning of such behavior. In […]

Participant Interviews and Focus Group As Forms of Qualitative Data Collection

Interviews are among the most familiar strategies for collecting qualitative data. The different qualitative interviewing approaches and in common usage, emerged from diverse disciplinary perspectives resulting in a wide variation among interviewing approaches (Dicicco-Bloom, B., & Crabtree, 2006). There is an important research article that seeks to compare two different qualitative methods to research. This […]
