    ASSIGNMENT: CRITIQUE OF QUALITATIVE RESEARCH ARTICLE

    TOPIC: PSYCHOSOCIAL ISSUES OF RRT PATIENTS

    BY: MBABAZI PIERRE MARIE THEOS: 218014400


    UR/CMHS/SONM/MSN/NEPHROLOGY
    INTRODUCTION

    • A qualitative research is an approach which focusing


    to understand human experiences about social
    phenomena (Schneider, Coates and Yarris, 2017).
    •
    1. ELEMENTS INFLUENCING BELIEVABILITY OF THE RESEARCH

    REPORT TITLE
    “A Qualitative Approach of Psychosocial Adaptation Process in Patients
    Undergoing Long-term Hemodialysis”
    The report title is clear and accurate, and shows following important
    elements:
    • Study approach: qualitative
    • the phenomena of interest: Psychosocial Adaptation Process
    • The study population: Patients undergoing Long-term Hemodialysis
    ABSTRACT
    • The abstract of this study is clear and brief and gives a brief
    summary of main features of reports including purpose,
    methodology, results and conclusion. But some elements are
    lacking like the research problem and sample.
    • An abstract or summary should clearly outline the problem,
    the hypothesis or research questions, aims and objectives of
    the study (Polit and Hungler, 1997)
    2. ELEMENTS INFLUENCING
    ROBUSTNESS OF THE RESEARCH
    STATEMENT OF THE PHENOMENON OF INTEREST
    • According to the authors, most studies conducted on HD have focused
    on quality of life, wellbeing, and symptom management, but these
    studies reflect the objective evaluations of health professionals.
    • A relatively small number of studies have considered the subjective
    views of clients with renal disease.
    • Then, it is vital to gain information from clients about their psychosocial
    adjustment experiences on HD in Taiwan.
    PURPOSE/SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

    • The phenomenon of interest is well stated in the research report, the authors were

    aiming to interpret the process of psychosocial adaptation of people with end-stage renal

    disease (ESRD) undergoing regular HD.


    • To analyze their phenomenon of interest, researchers scrutinized three broad topics:
    what psychosocial adjustment experiences clients with ESRD undergoing regular HD have;
    what needs are specific to these clients
    what factors influence the psychosocial adaptation process to HD in these clients and how
    these are demonstrated.
    LITERATURE REVIEW

    • In qualitative studies, after choosing the problem of interest,


    researchers review the existing information about it.
    • To accomplish this, qualitative researchers must develop a
    research plan that determines what sources they will use,
    such as libraries, databases or specific search engines.
    Relevant documents are reviewed and carefully summarized.
    The final literature review should briefly describe how the
    literature review was conducted and provide summaries of
    documents relevant to the research problem.
    THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
    • In the research report, a conceptual or theoretical
    Framework are not present.
    METHOD
    The research report gives different components of methodology:
    Study design: Grounded theory and how it has been used
    Setting: An HD unit in rural southern
    Sample: 10 men and 5 women, aged from 30 to 78 years.
    Sampling: theoretical sampling
    METHOD (CONT’D)
    Ethical considerations: the study received ethical approval from IRB,
    permission from research setting and consent of participants
    Data collection and procedure: each participant was privately
    interviewed using the technique of un-structured interview
    Data analysis: data have been analyzed using the computer software
    ATLAS.ti, the analysis continued until analytical saturation was
    achieved. Data analysis was based on a grounded theory
    Trustworthiness: criteria to ensure the rigor of the study process
    PHILOSOPHICAL UNDERPINNINGS
    • Grounded theory guided this qualitative study with its roots in the
    concept of symbolic interactionism, which is about human behavior being
    determined by an adaptation to the environment.
    • Constructivism is akin to symbolic interactionism; it focuses on how the
    self (in context) defines a situation and reproduces social actions, as well
    as how the self shares an understanding of an object in constructing its
    meaning.
    • order to understand the applicability of grounded theory to interpret the
    process of psychosocial adaptation to HD in people with ESRD, it is
    important to articulate the philosophy of symbolic interactionism.
    SAMPLE

    • The sample was including 10 men and 5 women, aged from 30 to 78 years, and
    other demographic data are figured in the article.
    • Theoretical sampling was performed throughout the process of data collection.
    The selection criteria were being diagnosed with ESRD and receiving regular HD
    treatment.
    • Theoretical sampling was appropriate for this study as it permits to generate
    theory whereby the analyst jointly collects, codes and analyzes the data and
    decides what data to collect next and where to find them, to develop his theory
    as it emerges
    • MCcrae & Purssell ( 2 0 1 6 ).
    ETHICAL CONSIDERATIONS
    This study filled all ethical considerations of studies including human beings:
    • This study received ethical approval from the IRB (99-IRB-002).
    • The researcher obtained consent from administrative authority of HD center.
    • Potential participants have been informed by the nurse in charge of the HD
    unit about the study, and the researchers invited clients who were interested
    to volunteer in person.
    • Those meeting the selection criteria received an information sheet outlining
    the purpose of the study, and when satisfied with the explanations they
    signed a consent form before interviewing started.
    DATA COLLECTION/DATA ANALYSIS

    • is focused on human experience. The data collection is a semi


    structured interview method is used in this study which is an
    appropriate method of data collection in a qualitative and descriptive
    design because it is focused on human experiences. structured
    interview are useful in controlling content of interview and to
    increase accuracy in results.!3urns 8 9 Grove&
    RIGOUR
    • To ensure the rigor of the study process, the researcher observed the criteria for judging the quality of
    qualitative research as recommended by Lincoln and Guba: credibility, transferability, dependability, and
    confirmability [16]. The qualifications of the principal researcher enabled her to credibly and reliably undertake
    all aspects of this investigation, including the interviewing. She is a trained counselor comfortable in
    undertaking interviews, a trained qualitative researcher, and has extensive work experience in clinical nursing
    and nursing education. The interviews were participant-centered and audio-taped. The data coding were
    discussed with the team members of the study regularly. Codes and themes were verified by two HD nurses. To
    meet the criteria of transferability and dependability, each interview transcript was augmented with “thick
    descriptions”, that is, transcripts were annotated with descriptions of interviewees' nonverbal responses
    conveyed in the interview but not captured in the transcript. The thick data were identified on the basis of their
    relevance to the topic of study and congruence with participants' point of view. Confirmabilitywas concerned
    with the objectivity of the researcher for ensuring the trustworthiness of the process of the methods and
    procedures of this study. Therefore, the process of study was rigorous.
    FINDINGS
    • This section should include a direct report of the data. It should be succinct and impartial
    without engaging in personal reflections or interpretations. Describe the data in detail
    without drawing conclusions of any kind (Kendra, 2017).
    • The findings in this article are presented according to the analytical typologies. They
    clearly describe nursing student experiences of clinical practice but it would be more
    attractive and easily understandable if graphical method to present findings. -nvestigator
    findings are accurate in relation to the data collected. The process of obtaining results is
    clear and appropriate to the approach. The researcher was similarly aware of his own
    knowledge and assumptions. 8umerical data tends to be presented in two forms, firstly as
    raw figures and percentages within the text and secondly, more visually, as line graphs,
    tables or histograms !3urns and Grove055$&.Graphical methods are the most appropriate
    way of presentation of data as a large amount of data can be ad+usted in an attractive
    table very vigorously.
    DISCUSSION

    • /is"ussion
    •  part of this article is consisted with findings along
    with limitation of the study. An-mportant point to
    remember is that the research does not necessarily
    prove a point and may onlysuggest a relationship or
    highlight an issue needing further
    investigation !'arahoo and (eid,$%))&.
