NOTE: A qualitative study in nursing is a research approach that focuses on understanding patients’ experiences, behaviors, emotions, and perceptions related to healthcare. Unlike quantitative research, which relies on numerical data and statistics, qualitative studies explore deeper meanings and human interactions through methods like interviews, focus groups, and observations.

Key Characteristics of Qualitative Nursing Research:

1. Exploratory & Descriptive – Aims to understand complex healthcare phenomena from a human perspective.

2. Subjective & Interpretative – Focuses on patients lived experiences, emotions, and social contexts.

3. Data Collection Methods – Uses open-ended interviews, focus groups, case studies, and direct observations.

4. Non-Numerical Data – Analyzes words, themes, and narratives rather than statistics.

5. Thematic Analysis – Identifies patterns and meanings in participants responses.

6. Holistic Approach – Considers cultural, social, and psychological factors influencing health.

Examples in Nursing:

Exploring how cancer patients cope with treatment.

Understanding nurses’ experiences in emergency care.

Studying patients’ perceptions of pain management.

Make sure your article is published within the last 5 years. Also, the article must be from a nursing journal and authored by nurses.
