Qualitative Annotated Bibliography
For this assignment you will continue to review current research from South’s Online Library and provide a critical evaluation on that research through an annotated bibliography. An annotated bibliography is a brief summary and analysis of the journal article reviewed. For more information on annotated bibliographies please visit Purdue’s OWL: Purdue Online Writing Lab
A total of two annotated bibliographies are to be submitted (not to exceed one page each). The articles must come from nursing scholarly literature and may not be older than 5 years since publication. Please note that the articles must be research based and reflect a qualitative methodology (review our reading assignments). Web pages, magazines, textbooks, and other books are not acceptable.
Each annotation must address the following critical elements:
Explanation of the main purpose and scope of the cited work
Brief description of the research conducted
Value and significance of the work (e.g., study’s findings, scope of the research project) as a contribution to the subject under consideration
Possible shortcomings or bias in the work
Conclusions or observations reached by the author
Summary as to why this research lends evidence to support the potential problem identified specific to your role specialization.
My role is a nurse practitioner and I choose central venous catheters for dialysis patients are high-risk for infection opposed to an arterial Venus fistula. Or you can discuss infection.
Below are the reading assignments that discuss qualitative methodology
Quantitative Methods
Quantitative Methods
Quantitative designs can either be descriptive, correlational, quasi-experimental, or experimental. While descriptive studies only describe the variables as they are found, correlational research examines relationships among variables. Experimental research and quasi-experimental research examine causal relationships between variables of interest.
Descriptive Research
Conducted to describe new situations, events or concepts
Conducted without researcher control because subjects are examined as they exist in their natural setting
The outcomes of descriptive research include the description of concepts, identification of relationships and development of hypotheses that provide a basis for future quantitative research
Correlational Research
Conducted to examine relationships among concepts or ideas, such as the relationship between wine consumption and cholesterol level
Involves the systematic investigation of relationship between or among two or more variables
Primary intent is to explain the nature of relationships in the real world, not to determine cause and effect
Correlation is not Causation
Quasi-Experimental Research
Conducted to examine causal relationships or determine the effect of one variable on another
Involves implementing a treatment and examining the effects of this treatment
Quasi-experimental studies differ from experiment studies by the level of control achieved
When studying human behavior, researchers are frequently unable to manipulate or control certain variables or settings
Experimental Research
Objective, systematic, controlled investigation
Tests the effectiveness of various treatments under strictly controlled conditions
Often associated with studies of animals in laboratory settings
Used for the purpose of predicting and controlling phenomena
Causality between the independent and dependent variables is examined under highly controlled conditions
Most powerful quantitative method
Three Things Necessary for Experimental Research
Controlled manipulation of at least one treatment variable (independent or experimental variable)
Exposure of some subjects to the treatment (experimental group) and some not exposed (control group)
Random selection of subjects for the study.
Qualitative research
What are Qualitative Data?
Data in the form of words, language in the form of extended text
Observations of settings and events
Purposes for Collecting Qualitative Data
When only a few cases or events are available (e.g., new disorders, accidents)
The problem has complexities which are not clearly understood To understand context, processes, and events in everyday settings
Preliminary investigation of topic with little previous research Common Styles of Qualitative Methods
Grounded Theory: Researcher attempts to derive theory by using multiple stages of data collection and the refinement and interrelationship of categories of information.
Ethnography: Researcher studies an intact cultural group in a natural setting during a prolonged period of time by collecting, primarily, observational data.
Phenomenology: Human experiences are examined through the detailed descriptions of the people being studied (“lived experience”).
Case Studies: Researcher explores a single entity or case, collects detailed information by using a variety of data collection procedures during a sustained period of time.
Historical Research: Researcher examines events of the past by using letters, newspaper accounts, and individuals who were present at the time.
