This video features Dr. Kristen Mauk’s overview of how she applied qualitative research designs and methods to her doctoral dissertation work. Dr. Mauk explains the advantages of qualitative research as well as strategies for increasing credibility when conducting qualitative or mixed methods research.
2-Locate the journal Qualitative Health Research in the Walden Library.
From this journal, select an article of interest to you that was published within the last 3 years.
3-Review the information on different qualitative research designs in Chapter 21 of your course text. (Polit, D. F., & Beck, C. T. (2017). Nursing research: Generating and assessing evidence for nursing practice (10th ed.). Philadelphia, PA: Wolters Kluwer.
Chapter 21, “Qualitative Research Design and Approaches”
This chapter introduces qualitative research designs. It provides an overview of the different types of qualitative research and then describes each one in greater detail, outlining how and when they should be used.)
