Qualitative Analysis01:10

Qualitative Analysis

205
Qualitative analysis is the process of identifying elements, ions, or compounds in an unknown sample. It is the first and most fundamental type of analysis based on the hierarchy of analytical goals. This hierarchy is significant as it provides a structured approach to scientific research, with qualitative analysis serving as the initial step, providing essential information before moving on to quantitative or other forms of analysis.
There are two main approaches to qualitative analysis:...

Data Collection by Survey01:07

Data Collection by Survey

6.4K
The systematic method of obtaining and analyzing accurate information of a population is called data collection. A survey is a standard method of data collection that involves collecting information from a target human population about their experience, opinion, or knowledge of a product, service, or process. The responses are recorded and interpreted. The most common survey examples are written questionnaires, face-to-face or telephonic conversations, focus groups, and electronic (e-mail or...

Systematic Sampling Method01:17

Systematic Sampling Method

9.9K
Sampling is a technique to select a portion (or subset) of the larger population and study that portion (the sample) to gain information about the population. Data are the result of sampling from a population. The sampling method ensures that samples are drawn without bias and accurately represent the population. Because measuring the entire population in a study is not practical, researchers use samples to represent the population of interest.
Systematic sampling is one of the simplest methods...

The physical assessment examines the patient for objective data that defines the patient's condition, and aids in formulating the nursing care plan. The purpose of physical assessment is a health status appraisal, which includes identifying health problems, and establishing a database for nursing intervention.
The principles to begin the physical assessment include conducting a comprehensive or problem-related history in a quiet, well-lit room, emphasizing privacy and comfort for the...

Bar Graph

15.9K
A bar graph is also called a bar chart and consists of bars that are separated from each other. It either uses horizontal or vertical bars to show comparisons among categories. The bars can be rectangles, or they can be rectangular boxes (used in three-dimensional plots). One axis of the graph represents the specific categories being compared, and the other axis shows a discrete value. In this graph, the length of the bar for each category is proportional to the number or percent of individuals...

Data Collection I01:30

Data Collection I

6.0K
Data collection gathers information needed to make accurate judgments about a patient's present condition. During a health history interview, subjective data is collected from the patient, their caregivers, or family members, and objective data is collected through observations and physical assessment. Patients are the primary source of subjective data. Thus information gathered from patients through interviews, observations, and physical examination is primary data. Secondary sources of...

Area of Science:

  • Health Technology Assessment
  • Information Science
  • Qualitative Research Methodology

Background:

  • Qualitative research is increasingly vital in systematic and rapid reviews within Health Technology Assessment (HTA).
  • Standardized search methodologies for retrieving qualitative studies, especially database selection, are still evolving.
  • Effective database searching is crucial for comprehensive literature retrieval in HTA.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of commonly used bibliographic databases in retrieving qualitative studies for HTA.
  • To compare the performance of specialized health databases (MEDLINE, CINAHL, PsycINFO) with multidisciplinary citation indexes (Scopus, Web of Science).
  • To identify optimal database strategies for qualitative research retrieval in HTA.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive list of relevant journal titles was compiled using InCites Journal Citation Reports.
  • This list was validated by qualitative researchers at Canada's Drug Agency.
  • The qualitative holdings of MEDLINE, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Scopus, and Web of Science were evaluated by calculating percentages of total and unique titles held.

Main Results:

  • Multidisciplinary databases, Scopus and Web of Science Core Collection, held the highest percentages of total qualitative study titles.
  • Scopus and Web of Science also provided a greater number of unique qualitative study titles compared to specialized health databases.
  • Contrary to general recommendations, these multidisciplinary indexes demonstrated superior coverage of relevant qualitative literature.

Conclusions:

  • Multidisciplinary citation indexes like Scopus and Web of Science possess significant utility for qualitative search strategies in HTA.
  • These databases can supplement traditional searches by providing unique qualitative records.
  • Further investigation into utilizing Scopus for qualitative rapid review search strategies confirmed its potential to contribute relevant literature.
