The purpose of qualitative research is to understand individuals lives and figure out what the central meaning is (Renjith 2021). To analyze different phenomena in this context, researchers gather many different views from different individuals to see how the phenomenon effects their life (Maxwell 2020). An example of this would be mothers with children who have leukemia (Renjith 2021). The research would surround every life aspect, from wearing a mask everywhere to staying home on lock down basically to keep infection minimum during treatments (Renjith 2021). Grounded theory is to discovery in the context of the social process being studied. This theory uses comparative analysis, theoretical sampling, theoretical coding, and theoretical saturation. An example of this would be an analysis of the relationship between women and anorexia. The study analysis showed a development of a theoretical framework on the nature of the relationship between the self and anorexia nervosa (Renjith 2021). Ethnographic research studies the anthropology of culture specific areas. Knowledge and behaviors are used in this type of study (Renjith 2021). An example of this type of research study would be “The aim of the ethnographic study by LeBaron et al. was to explore the barriers to opioid availability and cancer pain management in India. The researchers collected data from fifty-nine participants using in-depth semi-structured interviews, participant observation, and document review. The researchers identified significant barriers by open coding and thematic analysis of the formal interview” (Renjith 2021).

The difference between grounded theory and phenomenological theory is the use of comparative analysis, theoretical sampling, and theoretical coding and theoretical saturation. These are unique features to grounded theory research (Renjith 2021). The similarities lie in the fact that they are both qualitative research and so they analyze a little bit differently but do give us some proper research pertaining to the subject.

Hello Shana.

it is true grounded theory makes use of the coding system. As it implies, the coding plays a major role in research that ahs to do with a grounded theory. In coding the researcher at first explore the open coding, in which the researcher is trying to understand the various identified data, not have a clear comprehension of the information at hand. After then, the researcher dives into axial coding, and also relating codes to one another takes place. Sometimes they attempt to find relationship. Finally, the researchers engages in another type of coding called selective coding. At this point, the researcher has a better understanding of the data collected. He then tries to connect all the information to a core element so they can form a story at the end.

Great comparison on the differences and similarities between two of the three types of qualitative studies. Great example of each, it can be confusing in research to to keep these differences distinct.

Hi Shana! Nice examples you used regarding the types of research you chose. You applied the examples to the everyday lives of some people. There is also something they both have in common. They both seek to explore individuals’ experiences in the part of the worlds in which they live. However, Grounded theory nor phenomenological theory will suit all studies. It is solely up to the researcher to decide which method is best.

Ethnographic research focuses on cultures and the behaviors in those cultures and how they affect health and wellness (Green & Johnson, 2018). Ethnography gives the researcher a greater understanding of people who are different from their own belief systems and values. This form of research is invaluable to nursing because it allows nurses to seek a greater understanding of others and applies it to health care in a respectful way. Phenomenological research is focused on a smaller group of people and their experiences rather than an entire culture (Green & Johnson, 2018). This type of research is focused on an experience and how it affects individuals, and the researcher performs extensive interviews, instead of being immersed in a culture (Green & Johnson, 2018).

An example of Ethnographic research is the research done in West Africa during the Ebola outbreak to better understand the burial practices and how they affected the spread of the virus. Having a better understanding of this cultural behavior researchers could respectfully educate people in this culture on how to change some of the practices to prevent the spread of the virus (Wolf et al., 2016).

An example of Phenomenological research is a study done about patients with chronic illness and their caregivers at home. In this study, the researcher interviewed 7 nursing students who have chronically ill family members at home and then organized the information into five main themes, physical problems, social problems, economic problems, psychological problems, and treatment-related problems (Ceylan et al., 2019). This study really struck a heartstring for me because I cared for my grandfather while I was in nursing school, and I can relate to the problems these families experienced. Qualitative research is relatable because it is subjective, and emotions are involved.
