Answer 1

Qualitative research involves non statistical analysis of the data collected i.e; analysis of text or opinions.

The inferences are inductive

It involves structuring of data and coding them into groups and themes

It has in-depth and non-categorical analysis.

It has a subjective approach meaning it depends on what the interviewer hears from the participant.

It is general, broad and context sensitive .

DATA ANALYSIS PROCEDURES FOR QUALITATIVE RESEARCH :

1. Defining research questions or areas of interest- setting an aim. Here the aim of study was to explore the experience of nurses who used EWS to determine impact on their practice
2. Making a design study. Here, qualitative analysis is considered and interview is selected as a tool
3. Taking permission and access to subjects. Here, institutional review and consent of participants is taken
4. Data collection and analysis: data is collected by interviewing the sample of participants selected. Data analysis is done by
   • identifying key codes or phrases
   • evaluating codes and categorizing them
   • themes were selected by combining and grouping codes
   • evaluating and categorizing of themes
5. Developing models and theories
6. Inference of results, conclusion and publishing of results
