Such a transformation technique is seen as the most general one to investigate either heterogeneous but quantitative variables or variables with different scale models (both quantitative and qualitative). A major point of fuzzy coding is that space modalities can be built very early in the ...
Qualitative interviews were conducted with 53 purposively sampled participants (pregnant women, CHWs, maternal health clinicians). Interview transcripts were reviewed using a critical realist thematic analysis approach to develop a coding scheme pertinent to our research questions: “What caused high uptake...
4.How can researchers ensurethattheir personal biases andpreconceptions do not undulyinfluencethe interpretation ofqualitative interview data? Option 1 poses afundamentalontologicalquestion aboutthe nature of reality itself-specificallywhetherthestate exists independently of human minds (realism/objectivism) or ...

The broad objective of this study was to assess how qualitative methods can improve knowledge about which current utility instruments assess concepts of relevance from the patients' perspective. Alzheimer's disease and type 2 diabetes were used as examples of diseases that are prevalent and represented...
(c) the contexts that mediated this relationship. As shown in Table3, qualitative and quantitative data collection methods included purposively sampled semi-structured interviews; direct observation and coding of intervention activities; conversations with the intervention designers, implementers and providers...
All formal interviews were recorded with the respondents’ consent and were transcribed verbatim. The transcripts were then analyzed in two rounds of coding via NVivo 12 software. Notes from the informal interviews were written down from my memory and were included in the coding analysis. All resp...
Obviously qualitative data of think-aloud studies are very helpful their quantifying can lead to a loss of information. Furthermore, decisions about cut-off points, such as 80% of the experts have to be agreed in their rating of a skill to task assignment, or 50% of the apprentices have ...
Applying an integrated theoretical model of state-corporate crime and drawing on extensive empirical qualitative research, this paper traces the processes of normalization and institutionalization of corruption within the context of social networks and organizations. It is argued that corruption is not a ...
We describe how we analyzed these data in the next section and interweave the quantitative survey results with the qualitative interviews in the results. Survey data analysis We used bivariate statistical tests (chi-square and t-tests) to understand relationships between the type of HABs experience ...
