ASSESSMENTS AND ANALYSES Sample Clauses

ASSESSMENTS AND ANALYSES. 2.3.1. Qualitative Research in Focus Groups Qualitative research is used to gain insight into many aspects of people’s lives, including their beliefs, concerns and values. Qualitative research has been used in the business world and politically to inform decisions and policy. In medical research qualitative research is often used to gain insight into health beliefs and as well as explore patient experiences. Formal approaches include individual interviews, focus groups, but can also include unstructured materials such as feedback forms. Unlike quantitative research it doesn’t rely on statistics or numbers but involves content and discourse analysis. The audio taped focus groups and 1:1 interviews were carried out in private rooms using a semi structured interview guide [Xxxxxxx 1995].

The results are presented with verbatim quotations as well as a summary table to highlight the key themes and to help clarify the importance of themes, frequency counts have been added where appropriate. Throughout the data analysis simple counts are made of key themes or issues, this combination of qualitative and quantitative analysis helps assist in the generalisability of the findings. [Xxxxx 1999]. For validation of the data, external qualitative co-researchers, not involved in the data gathering and analysis, cross-checked initial codes and reached agreement with the researchers about the codes for further data analysis. In addition the data were also presented to two experienced clinicians to assess resonance and plausibility with ...
