The study conducted by Mackey et al., (2009) is focused on defining how and why patients of working age that suffered from burn returned to a job or remained unemployed. The researchers have chosen qualitative study design because the quantitative design is unable to answer why and how patients returned to a job or remained unemployed. Therefore, the purpose of this study perfectly aligns with the design of the study. The authors described the design in details and provided all relevant information. They emphasized that in qualitative studies participants are selected purposefully, therefore it is highly helpful for answering the research question (Mackey et al., (2009). The sampling was done by choosing patients with 10% to 25% of total TBSA from QVH Burns Centre database between 1998 and 2006 (Mackey et al., (2009). …show more content…
The researchers managed to contact only 26 participants who matched the criteria described above. All the participants were split into three groups: those who returned to the same or similar job, those who changed their job or returned on a part-time basis, and those who remained unemployed (Mackey et al., (2009). To obtain qualitative data needed for the study the researchers used semi-structured qualitative interviews conducted in the patients’ own homes (Mackey et al., (2009). Before conducting the interviews, participants were contacted by telephone (Mackey et al., (2009). When interviews were conducted, researchers used qualitative coding to categorize the participants (Mackey et al., (2009). It can be claimed that the way how data was obtained and analyzed aligns with the purpose and the design of this study. To minimize bias researchers used investigator triangulation by performing interviews by two-named researchers. The researchers didn’t provide any information about the limitation of this
In the history of the Supreme Court, there have been many First Amendment cases that outline if exercises of free speech and expression are constitutional or unconstitutional. One of the most paramount 1st amendment cases is that of Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District (1969). This significant case helped shape the extension of symbolic speech, as well as ensure the freedom of speech and expression to students in schools.
In conclusion, this essay was dealt about a critical appraisal of qualitative study using CASP tool. By doing this module as a nursing student, this helped the author of this essay, to understand the importance of using the critical appraisal in the clinical practice. It also made the student nurse aware, by practicing the critical skills will help to improve the professional standard of competence according to the NMC code (2016). In order to improve the skills in the nursing practice, the student nurse decided to use a structure for her critical frame work, maintaining a reflective diary, and use the up to date evidence in the practice.
The purpose of this qualitative study was to describe how occupational therapists’ involved client-centred activities in daily living (CADL) in their practice. This was done by reviewing the therapist’s experiences and reflections about their interaction with clients that suffered from a stroke. The study involved coding of three categories. These categories included: 1) Sharing an understanding as the point of departure, 2) Sharing through experiences, and 3) Challenges in applying the CADL.
Since the Great War, America has always been accused of theft especially theft of land from Mexico. During the great wars, the United States of America sent troops to the southwest into the Mexican land. During the war, the Mexicans were forced down to the south (Greenberg & Shaffer, 2012). The American troops settled there and after the war, all the land remained the property of America. After the war, some portion of Mexico was given back to the Mexicans and the misplaced Mexican citizens were forced to change citizenship and became Americans. What we always try to find out is whether the American grabbed the land from Mexico or are the Mexicans comfortable staying in the United States of America.
The Person-Environment-Occupation-Performance (PEOP) model is a suitable model to be applied when working with Paul. This model focuses on occupations and performance (Cole & Tufano, 2008). This model describes occupations as consisting of valued roles, tasks and activities that influence one’s life roles (Cole & Tufano, 2008). “The domain of practice is predominantly selected by the client, who is asked to identify the most important occupational performance issue within the areas of work/productive activities, personal care, home maintenance, sleep, recreation, and leisure” (Cole & Tufano, 2008, pp. 127-128). According to the case study provided, Paul is having increased dependence with self-care and social activity. Paul’s mother has become more symptomatic, reporting high blood pressure and migraine headaches.

This assignment focuses on the meaning of occupation to people with disability. Through interviewing people who experience fibromyalgia, the occupational story and therapeutic value of meaningful occupation can be identified. Observation of activity analysis of a person engaged in dish washing was conducted using Crepeau, Boyt Schell, Gillen, & Scaffa’s (2014) template. Next, grading and adapting techniques will be suggested to overcome her disability. In addition, enablers and barriers of the occupational engagement and performance of the person have been analysed by applying CMOP-E and the role of occupational therapists to the diagnostic group were addressed. Using Gibbs model, review and reflection will be utilized to help

Based on this finding triangulation was not used in this study. The study used a written interview guide completed by one interviewer. As a reference for interviewers, four selected guideline bundles were given. According to the meetings and observations made in the SICU’s the guidelines were developed. To ensure understanding and usefulness of the questions pilot interviews were utilized, which included five participants to help prompt for well thought out responses and ideas. For the researcher to ask correct questions the interview guide included two general open ended questions and prompts to find out more about a topic. For instance, one of the questions asked for task ambiguity stated, “What tasks need to be completed for this patient per guidelines?” (Gurses et al., 2013). Since several interviewees had different views and perceptions to understand their viewpoint, there were follow up questions and clarifications that were conducted. Each interview was recorded in an appropriate fashion and transcribed verbatim. Enough data were gathered with depth and richness within the study (Gurses et al., 2013).

Four participants were interviewed with a structured questionnaire. Two patients who were admitted to a hospital setting for at least 5 days and two healthcare professionals who work in a nursing home setting for at least 6 months. The questionnaire
Although this study and its results could be creditable, how the study was conducted the obvious limitations presented biases results (Foley & Levant, 2006). First, the small sample size, which prohibited them from analyzing the data to determine different responses based on demographic variables (Foley & Levant, 2006). Therefore, enabling the pilot study to engage its initial effectiveness from the community residents (Foley & Levant, 2006). Second, the study lacked a pretest questionnaire to illustrate each participant’s relative preworkshop knowledge (Foley & Levant, 2006). Allowing the implementing of a pretest assessment, this study could have offered sound evidence. And third, the sample was by no means random in nature (e.g., many participants were selected from support group centers sources only). Regardless of the research process, all the respondents agreed that they could incorporate the information they learned into their own life and health care practices.
Underlying Rationale. Epistemology: Given the open-ended nature of our lines of inquiry, we determined a qualitative approach was the optimal approach to characterize decision-making at the provider level. We have studied about the level of preventive service delivery from surveys of physician’s self-report, medical chart review, billing data, or patient surveys. Even though these sources are useful, they have many limitations. Physicians incline to over-estimate the rate of delivery of services to their patients (M Weisberg, 1985) (DE Montaño, 1995). In the case of the medical record, providers document more accurately, the some services and procedures (such as screening procedures) that are more important or billed compared to services (such
The methodology employed in this study was a modified consensual qualitative research, undertaken through the use of semistructured interviews conducted in accordance with CQR criteria. The study researchers selected a total of thirty-five employees from five different Rehabilitation Service Administration regions to participate in the
