Nursing research DQ # 12 student reply Jenifer Hurtado

One qualitative research design that I would choose for my study would be ethnography.  Ethnography is the description and interpretation of cultural behavior (Polit & Beck, 2017).  In other words, it analyzes the culture’s ways and their interactions with their own group.  In addition, the research can comprehend their way of living and their ritual without being part of it.

The sample that I would select would be critical case sampling.  Critical case sampling involves selecting important cases regarding the phenomenon of interest (Polit & Beck, 2017).  For instance, they select the one case that is most relevant to their study.  This sampling is not like random sampling, critical case sampling focus on selecting specific case study.

 The data collection that I would use would be descriptive observation.  Descriptive observation helps observers figure out what is going on (Polit & Beck, 2017).  Descriptive observation relates more toward my selection of ethnography because it requires observation to gather the information needed for the study.  Therefore, by observing they can gain sufficient data to be able to conclude how a specific group act, live, and interacts.
