NURS 8858 Qualitative Research Methods II
This elective course is designed to provide students a hands-on opportunity to implement a qualitative study using one specific method (for example: grounded theory, ethnography, phenomenology, narrative analysis), and to practice qualitative approaches to data collection and analysis in that method. Data collection strategies will include interviewing, focus group, or participant observation following the selected method. Data will be analyzed according to the method chosen and will include a data management software program. Through these steps students will practice and learn strategies and processes for conceptualizing and implementing a qualitative study guided by a specific qualitative methodology that will inform dissertation or novice study.
