Study Notes
Key Questions for Evaluating Qualitative Research
- Sample Appropriateness: Did the participants accurately reflect the research question?
- Data Collection Methods: Were the data gathering methods (interviews, focus groups, etc.) appropriate for the study goals?
- Data Analysis Methods: Were the analysis techniques consistent with qualitative research standards (e.g., thematic analysis)?
- Transferability of Findings: Can the results be applied to other contexts or populations?
- Ethical Considerations: Were ethical guidelines respected (e.g., informed consent, anonymity)?
- Methodological Clarity: Is the research process and decision-making clearly outlined?
Qualitative Research Judgement Criteria
Credibility
- Definition: Measures the trustworthiness of findings from the participants' views.
- Strategies: Prolonged engagement, data triangulation, member checking.
Transferability
- Definition: Evaluates the applicability of findings to different contexts.
- Considerations: Clear description of the study context, relevance to practical application, contribution to existing theories
Dependability
- Definition: Assesses the consistency and stability of the research process.
- Strategies: Research process documentation, detailed method recording
Confirmability
- Definition: Ensures research findings are primarily shaped by participant experiences, not researcher bias.
- Strategies: Peer review, exploration of contradictory findings (negative case analysis), meticulous data review.
Critical Appraisal Tool: CASP Checklist
- Purpose: Systematic tool for evaluating qualitative research.
- Components: Screening questions, detailed questions covering research design, sampling, and analysis.
