Foundations
The first major step a nurse researcher must undertake in a qualitative analysis is
What is to develop a system for organizing and indexing the data
This criterion is analogous to internal validity and refers to confidence in the truth value of the data:
What is Credibility
The strategy of interviewing 20 students, finding emergent themes, then asking 10 more students to review them is called
What is Member Checking
This strategy is utilized when a researcher spends 3 years conducting interviews and observations
What is Prolonged Engagement
In qualitative data analysis, this analytic device involves a symbolic comparison
What is a Metaphor
These three researchers developed grounded theory analysis methods: Glaser, Strauss, and ___________.
What is Charmaz
The analog of reliability in quantitative research
What is Dependability
The researcher systematically collected, documented, and maintained all study progress notes and data using this quality strategy
What is Audit Trail
This provides "depth" on the aspects of a situation relevant to the phenomenon
What is Persistent Observation
Spradley defined four levels of data analysis: domain, taxonomic, componential, and ___________ analysis.
What is Thematic
There are no universally adopted rules for analyzing this type of data
What is Qualitative
The qualitative analog of external validity or generalizability is
What is Transferability
This strategy is used when a co-investigator independently codes data to check for consistency
What is Investigator Triangulation
This strategy involves interviewing participants and also asking them to keep a daily journal
What is Triangulation
This researcher used an analytic approach for hermeneutic analysis with paradigm cases and exemplars
Who is Benner
This type of phenomenology searches for the essential nature of an experience
What is Descriptive Phenomenology
Criterion that refers to neutrality or objectivity in qualitative inquiry
What is Confirmability
Investigator triangulation is equivalent to this quantitative strategy: Construct validity, internal consistency, or interrater reliability
What is Interrater Reliability
This strategy occurs when a nurse researcher interviews youth from seven communities about STD fears: Persistent observation? Audit trails? Data triangulation?
What is Data Triangulation
Colaizzi, Giorgi, and this Duquesne School researcher developed descriptive phenomenology methods.
Who is Van Kaam
The qualitative term meaning the extent to which a range of different realities are faithfully depicted
what is Authenticity
This tool can facilitate researchers' search for themes related to dynamic processes
What are Devices that enable them to chart the evolution of behaviors and processes (flow charts or timelines)
