Qualitative Research Definition (collection, analysis, and reporting of narrative data) Rich narrative data are used for uncovering themes; describes a problem or condition from the point of view of those experiencing it. Common methods are focus groups, individual interviews (unstructured or semi structured), and participation/observations. Sample sizes are small and data collection stops when data saturation is reached (when no new themes emerge). Synthesis is used in data analysis. The researcher describes, analyzes, and interprets reports, descriptions, and observations from participants. Discussion: Brooklyn Nursing Evidence Based Practice Qualitative Appraisal Worksheet First, Determine the LEVEL of this Research (Study Design) Refer to Table 1 below . BOLD the Level at the top of the page. Second, How does this study help answer the EBP question*? Be brief just a few bullets are fine. Third, Appraise the QUALITY of this Qualitative Research Evidence INSTRUCTIONS: FOR EVERY QUESTION ANSWER YES OR NO BY BOLDING . IN THE BOX WITH THE QUESTION WRITE A 20-30 WORD RESPONSE (as appropriate) . DO NOT COPY AND PASTE. USE YOUR OWN WORDS PARAPHRASE ANSWERS. Was the purpose of the study clear? Yes No Explain: Was the research question stated? Yes No Explain it: Did researchers explain why they chose a qualitative method? Yes No Explain: Was the focus of the research (the phenomenon) clearly defined? Yes No Explain: Did researchers have knowledge or experience with the research area? Yes No Explain: Were participant characteristics adequately described? Yes No Describe them: In the data collection did they record the interviews? Yes No Explain: How did they transcribe & analyze the data? Yes No Explain the process: Were themes (common areas) identified which came from the narrative data (responses from participants)? Yes No Describe them: Are the researchers conclusions clearly explained? Yes No Explain: Do you find the study and its results to be trustworthy? Yes No Explain: Total Yes or No answers Based on the overall yes answers (more are better) AND referring to Table 2 below, rate the QUALITY of this research evidence as A, B, or C and explain your choice here. In EBP we only use A (high) or B (good) evidence to influence our decisions. Then BOLD the Quality Rating on the first page to COMPLETE the assignment. Table 1: Johns Hopkins Nursing Evidence-Based Practice Modified Evidence Level Guide for NUR 363 Appraisals Evidence Levels Research Studies Level I ? Experimental study , randomized controlled trial (RCT) ? Mixed method design with RCT only Level II ? Quasi-experimental study ? Mixed method design with quasi-experimental only. Discussion: Brooklyn Nursing Evidence Based Practice Qualitative Appraisal Worksheet Level III ? Nonexperimental study ? Mixed method design with non-experimental quantitative only ? Qualitative study Non-Research Sources Level IV ? Opinion of respected authorities and/or nationally recognized expert committees or panels based on scientific evidence. Includes: o Clinical practice guidelines o Consensus panels/position statements Level V Based on experiential and non-research evidence which includes: ? Integrative reviews ? Literature reviews ? Quality improvement, program, or financial evaluation ? Case reports ? Opinion of nationally recognized expert(s) based on experiential evidence Table 2: Quality Rating Scale A/B High/Good quality : The article discusses efforts to enhance or evaluate the quality of the data and the overall inquiry in sufficient detail; and it describes the specific techniques used to enhance the quality of the inquiry. Evidence of some or all of the following is found: ? Transparency : Researcher describes how information was documented to justify decisions, how data were reviewed by others, and how themes and categories were formulated. ? Diligence : Researcher reads and rereads data to check interpretations; seeks opportunity to find multiple sources to corroborate evidence. ? Verification : Researcher uses a process of checking, confirming, and ensuring methodologic coherence. ? Self-reflection and self-scrutiny : Researcher continuously aware of how his/her experiences, background, or prejudices might shape and bias analysis and interpretations. ? Participant-driven inquiry: Participants shape the scope and breadth of questions; analysis and interpretation give voice to those who participated. ? Insightful interpretation : Researcher links data and knowledge in meaningful ways to relevant literature. Discussion: Brooklyn Nursing Evidence Based Practice Qualitative Appraisal Worksheet C Lower-quality: studies contribute little to the overall review of findings and have few, if any, of the features listed for High/Good quality. NOTE: No commonly agreed-on principles exist for judging the quality of qualitative studies. It is a subjective process based on the extent to which study data contributes to synthesis and how much information is known about the researchers efforts to meet the appraisal criteria.
