Description

Hi! I just need 2 responses to 2 of these discussion question posts. The responses only have to be 250-500 words and have one citation. It doesn’t have to be in depth or anything just a “interactive” response to the posts. Respond to this:

Qualitative research is used to study subjective human experience. Non-mathematical methods are used to analyze data. It explores the human experience by focusing on patient’s and or health professional’s experiences (Ingham-Broomfield, 2015). Qualitative research can create data that can be used to assist healthcare providers in making informed holistic decisions.

One study identified aimed to identify what patient population could benefit from an oncology nurse navigator. A longitudinal study based on phenomenology and hermeneutics was conducted on patients with gynecological cancer. Semi-structured interviews were used to collect data (Thygesen, Pedersen, Kragstrup, Wagner, & Mogensen, 2012). Results identified that prior experience of trust in physicians played a major role in whether patients accepted navigation services. For those lacking trust the NN provided reassurance and an increased level of trust in the healthcare system. Conclusions of this study show that not every patient reports a benefit from navigation services.

The second qualitative study identified focused on identifying barriers for breast cancer patients participating in a navigation program. Data was collected using focus groups and telephone interviews. Researchers employed semi structured, open-ended questions in the interview (Korber, Padula, Gray, & Powell, 2011). Themes were identified using content analysis. The value of the education received was the most valuable theme identified. Management of symptoms, financial and community resource identification, and the team coordination were also benefits identified (Korber, Padula, Gray, & Powell, 2011).

My proposed study would be a semi structured survey that employed open ended questions to explore the perceived benefit of navigation services. I would like to focus on specific occurrences where the navigated patients felt that navigation services had assisted in coordinating multidisciplinary teams. I am interested in specifically instances where the navigator advocated for a patient to their providers. And respond to this:

Qualitative research is done by collecting data that is non-numaric such as an unstructured observation, intending on defining a phenomenon (Melnyk & Fineout-Overholt, 2015). Two types of qualitative research designs I would like to discuss are observation and interview.

Observation can come in different forms when creating a qualitative design. Complete observer, observer as participant, and complete participant. This form of qualitative research is based on observation and note taking. Where the observer takes in the surroundings and records the demonstrated findings (Melnyk & Fine-Overhault, 2015). An example of observational study would be a study conducted by Racine et. al. This study observed young participants with cerebral palsy to determine respect for autonomy. This study concluded that four key elements help empower individuals autonomy; coupling of decisional and physical autonomy, the influences of family and societal autonomy, and the influence on healthcare professionals.

Interviews give the interviewer opportunity to for informants to elaborate on their thoughts, reflections, and ideas. By creating structured questions releavant to the phenomenon the interviewing is able to get an idea on how the individual feels about that particular subject (Melnyk & Fine- Overhault, 2015). An example of this type of study is referenced below referring to the phenomenon of the doctor patient relationship. For this particular study Nilsen and Mlterud collected six general practitioners and asked the questions through a semi- structured interview. Some of the common disagreements noted among practitioners and patients were as follows; antibiotic use, demands for tranquilizers among drug abusers, and screening tests that were unwarranted (Nilsen & Malterud, 2017).

The qualitative study type that I would like to do for this discussion is interview. The population I would be interviewing would be 10 people between the ages of 45-60 on access to healthcare. These participants would reside in Orange county rural Virginia. As described in health people 2020- “Access to comprehensive, quality health care services is important for promoting and maintain health, preventing and managing disease, and reducing unnecessary disability. This semi- structured interview would ask patients questions about their access to care and opinions on the quality of care they receive. I would also ask them about their thoughts on preventative services and health care education. I would take the results from this interview to determine potential areas that need improvement in that particular county.

From the qualitative research focusing on the experiences of the patients with navigation
services, it is clear that these programmes have positive impacts on the improving or sustaining
the health of cancer patients. The responses that were obtained using semi-structured
questionnaires indicated that the patient’s experience with the services positively impacted on
their health status. Among the benefits that the patients identified was that the programme
enabled them to get access to the primary care facilities as well as the services. They were also
able to gain access to specialist care which aided in the maintaining the maximum care possible
for the cancer patients. The ...
