Carefully read and critique the same qualitative research article (your own article that posted on week 11) using Rapid Critical Appraisal Checklist for Qualitative Evidence in Melnyk & Fineout-Overholt, Appendix B, page 715-716 to evaluate the quality of the study. (Do not post the M&F appraisal checklist). Then, summarize the overall quality of the study results, address the following discussion questions, and post them with your reflection.
1.Discuss clarity of research questions/purposes; appropriateness of qualitative approach, consistency of data collection methods with its qualitative tradition, and overall findings, i.e., does overall presentation of the study fit its purpose, method, and findings?, can you hear the voice of participants and gain some understanding of the phenomenon studied?
2.Discuss strengths and weaknesses regarding sampling strategies, data collection procedures used, and data analysis techniques in the study. For example: how researchers select the study samples; how sample size is determined; researcher roles in data collection.
3.Discuss steps the researchers used to ensure trustworthiness in the studies. Use Lincoln and Guba’s trustworthiness criteria to appraise credibility, transferability, dependability, and confirmability aspects of the study findings.
