NURS 8201 Week 9 Discussion: Using Qualitative Research to Inform Evidence-Based Practice
“Qualitative researchers are motivated to know more about a phenomenon, a social process, or a culture from the perspectives of the people who are experiencing the phenomenon, involved in the social process, or living in the culture (Gray & Grove, 2020).
Qualitative research requires extensive time commitment and dedication. While all research can be rigorous and time consuming, by nature, the qualitative researcher seeks to build connections and trust with participants, which adds an additional layer of dedication. However, before research can even begin, researchers must first develop a research question.
Qualitative research questions tend to be broader than quantitative research questions. In a qualitative study, the researcher seeks to describe an experience or a phenomenon, so the questions are typically more global in scope. Additionally, many research questions describe and guide the research purpose, versus state it directly. Oftentimes phrases such as, “lived experience, framework or theoretical development, society, culture, or narrative” are used to describe the purpose (Gray & Grove, 2020).
For this Discussion, reflect on an area of interest and develop your own qualitative research question. How might you approach this topic and purpose? What types of research methods and design might you employ to address your qualitative research question?

Professor and class,
Qualitative research within psychiatric nursing aims to unravel the intricate tapestry of human experiences intertwined with mental health challenges. Crafting a qualitative research question in this domain necessitates delving into the subjective realities of individuals confronting conditions like schizophrenia. In this vein, a pertinent inquiry emerges: “How do individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia perceive and navigate their social relationships in everyday life?” This question sets the stage for an exploration into the lived experiences of those grappling with schizophrenia, shedding light on their social interactions, coping mechanisms, and the broader social dynamics they encounter…..
