If you are doing a qualitative study or a quantitative study, how do the variables or phenomenon addressed in your study inform the method, design, research questions, and data collection instrument to be used? What are two instruments that might be used to gather data for your study? Why do you believe these instruments will gather the appropriate data to answer the research questions and address the problem?
As I am looking deeper into methodologies, I will be using a mixed methodology to explore the data surrounding the dependency of public assistance with a narrative from a selected sample to discuss their reason, concerns, and issues surrounding their continued need to maintain benefits. The research questions are still pending due to the change, but the questions will link to reasons for dependency, lack of social assistance, and how these factors contribute to longer than needed dependency factors. Two instruments that I may use are statical data through interviews used in prior studies and questionnaires to gather more information from participants with predetermined questions. The use of interviews and questionnaires allows for data to be pulled and used to offer a narrative that can give two varied points of reference for data collected (Altenbuchner, Haug, Mohr, Scorna, & Weber, 2018)I believe they will gather the information needed as the narrative will be based on the responses from the selected sample. The statistical data will derive from past studies and the current sample which will give more up to data data that can be used for future studies as a comparison from a more current time through interviews conducted.

locate two separate research studies. One study must be a quantitative study, and the other study must be a qualitative study. Assess the instruments and data used in the studies. Tasks: In your paper, address the following: Summarize the instrument(s) used in each study, including the appropriateness of the instruments to the research objectives. Classify the questions (e.g., open- or closed-ended) used in each study. Assess the coding scheme (if any) for questions used in each study. Classify the data...
select one quantitative research study and one qualitative study related to acupuncture and its effectiveness on arthritis pain and chemotherapy's side effect such as nausea and write a summary of each study. Each summary must be accurate, succinct, and clear. Ensure the following questions are addressed in each summary: 1. What type of research is it (quantitative, qualitative, and design) 2. What was the research question(s) or hypothesis 3. What is the sample, the sample size, and sample attributes 4....

Reflect on your learning about Quantitative and Qualitative research; share two ways that helped you understand how they are different. Choose one category of study design that you found interesting and describe; include what you learned about the design and how you believe it can help study nursing problems. Refer back to your clinical nursing priority problem and evidence you located for your week 3 assignment: • The nursing-evidenced practice (NEBP) committee has requested for you to make a recommendation...
As a qualitative researcher, the person doing the study becomes the instrument of inquiry. How would you propose to discuss the researcher’s role in a qualitative study?
Classify the variables A to F as qualitative or quantitative. For quantitative data, please state whether the variable is discrete or continuous. Then, for each one, distinguish between the four (4) levels of measurement (nominal, ordinal, interval and ratio). What is your Year of Graduation (YOG)? How many courses are you enrolled in?

The theoretical foundations of qualitative and quantitative methods are very different, but many researchers believe both methods should be used in the research study to increase validity and reliability. What advantages or disadvantages do you see in using both types of methods in a nursing study? Support your answer with current evidence-based literature.
