    This document provides an overview of qualitative research methodology and key concepts. It discusses that qualitative research aims to understand different facets of social life through holistic and universal approaches. Data is collected directly from natural settings in the form of words, illustrations, recordings rather than numbers. Variables are not tested through hypotheses but explored through grounded theory and theoretical coding to generate hypotheses based on participant experiences. Qualitative variables are measured through unordered nominal categories rather than numeric scales.

    QUALITATIVE RESEARCH METHODOLOGY ( PHD 502)

    Professor: NICLIE L. TIRATIRA, Ph.D

    STUDENT: BERNIE P. IBANEZ

    THE SPECIAL NATURE OF QUALITATIVE RESEARCH

    1. WHAT IS BEING EXPLAINED IN THE ARTICLE?

    Ans. It is described its aims, methodology, and the kind of data collected to understand the
    different facets of social life. Qualitative approaches to research are universal and holistic.
    They follow these beliefs: -A single reality is not observed. -Reality is based upon concepts
    that are distinct for each person and change over time. -What we perceive has meaning only
    within a given situation. Characteristics of Qualitative Research are follows: The direct
    source of data is the natural setting and the researcher is the key instrument in qualitative
    research. Researchers go directly to the particular setting of interest to observe and collect
    the needed data; Data collected are in the form of words or illustrations rather than
    numbers. The kinds of data collected may include, but not limited to, audio recordings,
    diaries, field notes, memorandums, official records, personal comments, photographs,
    textbook passages, transcripts of interview, videotapes, and anything else that convey
    actual words or actions of people.

    2. WHAT ARE THE IMPORTANT TERMS/VARIABLE?

    Ans. In qualitative research no hypotheses or relationships of variables are tested. Because


    variables must be defined numerically in hypothesis-testing research, they cannot reflect
    subjective experience. This leads to hypothesis-generating research using the grounded theory
    method to study subjective experience directly. The grounded theory method uses a data
    analysis procedure called theoretical coding to develop hypotheses based on what the research
    participants say. Because the method involves developing hypotheses after the data are
    collected, it is called hypothesis-generating research rather than hypothesis-testing research.
    Grounded theory method uses questioning rather than measuring and generating hypotheses
    using theoretical coding. A variable whose value varies by attributes or characteristics is called
    a qualitative variable. The scale for measurement of a qualitative variable is a set
    of unordered or nominal categories.
    DESIGNING A QUALITATIVE STUDY ( ARTICLE)

    1. Question: What is being explained in the article?

    ANS. Qualitative research methods allow us to better understand the experiences of


    patients and carers; they allow us to explore how decisions are made and provide us with a
    detailed insight into how interventions may alter care. To develop such insights, qualitative
    research requires data which are holistic, rich and nuanced, allowing themes and findings to
    emerge through careful analysis. This article provides an overview of the core approaches to
    data collection in qualitative research, exploring their strengths, weaknesses and challenges.
    Collecting data through interviews with participants is a characteristic of many qualitative
    studies. Interviews give the most direct and straightforward approach to gathering detailed and
    rich data regarding a particular phenomenon. The type of interview used to collect data can be
    tailored to the research question, the characteristics of participants and the preferred approach
    of the researcher. Interviews are most often carried out face-to-face, though the use of
    telephone interviews to overcome geographical barriers to participant recruitment is becoming
    more prevalent.

    2. what are the important terms/variables?

    The important terms/variables are semi-structured interview, unstructured interview,


    structural spectrum and surgeons’ perceptions of postoperative pain
