This study used a multiple sorting technique to analyze qualitative interviews with nurses. Findings reveal nurses conceptualize their work into four key domains: basic care, indirect care, technical skills, and administration.

Area of Science:

  • Qualitative Research Methods
  • Nursing Studies
  • Human-Computer Interaction

Background:

  • Interviews are a common data collection method in human research.
  • Qualitative data analysis requires structured yet flexible techniques.
  • Understanding nurses' perceptions of their work is crucial for healthcare quality.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To demonstrate the application of the multiple sorting technique for analyzing qualitative interviews.
  • To explore practicing nurses' perceptions of their work in a German hospital setting.

Main Methods:

  • Employed a multiple sorting technique with 11 practicing nurses.
  • Nurses sorted and categorized nursing tasks.
  • Utilized Smallest Space Analysis (SSA-1) on a similarity matrix derived from task pairings.
