hello I am doing my masters in nursing
I have qualitative study on perceptions and attitude of moraine use in cancer patients?
the author did not clarify the design used?
I must identify the qualitative approach used here but I am confused
is it grounded or phenomenology ?
although I know the difference between these theories , I found It difficult to intepretate it in this study
This study uses the most common design in qualitative research: semi-structured interviews followed by thematic analysis. Despite the frequency with which this design is used, it does not fit into the rather limited set of "traditions" that are described in some popular textbooks.
David L Morgan so this study does not adopt a specific approach?
thank you for your answer Morgan .. have a good time
I agree with David Morgan. This study does not follow the guidelines for either Phenomenology or Grounded theory.
The process of grounded theory research makes it unique. Even the research question evolves during the iterative data analysis process. Phenomenology aims to identify the commonality of lived experiences of a group of people to describe the nature of the underlying phenomena. In the study that is referred, authors have just used qualitative data collection methods; but not any of the qualitative research methods as rightly pointed out by David L Morgan & Madelaine Lawrence
