Techniques designed to combine the results of qualitative and quantitative studies can provide researchers with more knowledge than separate analysis
Objectives To assess the quality of mixed methods studies in health services research (HSR). Methods We identified 118 funded by Department Health England between 1994 and 2004, obtained proposals and/or final reports for 75. applied a set questions to both proposal report each study, addressing success design, individual qualitative quantitative components, integration inferences drawn from completed studies. Results Most were successfully. Researchers mainly ignored design described only...
Abstract Background Recently, there has been a surge of international interest in combining qualitative and quantitative methods single study – often called mixed research. It is timely to consider why how research used health services (HSR). Methods Documentary analysis proposals reports 75 studies funded by commissioner HSR England between 1994 2004. Face-to-face semi-structured interviews with 20 researchers sampled from these studies. Results 18% (119/647) were classified as In the...
The insistence that breast feeding confers unique and significant benefits upon children underpins both health policy professional practice is part of the context in which women decide how to feed their babies and, turn, they display defend decisions. This paper applies a framework, drawn from sociology deviance, accounts give infant intentions. It draws data longitudinal qualitative interview study food choices made by mothers on behalf infants young children, show such are irreducibly...
A mixed methods study has the potential to produce knowledge that is unavailable a qualitative and quantitative undertaken independently. Any unique insight or ``yield'' from may be difficult assess in practice. However, given integration of data findings different components core characteristic research, two possible indicators yield can used: first, extent which researchers exploit for studies; second, way this communicated peer-reviewed journal articles. Here, authors apply these studies...

The healthcare industry is dependent upon the provision of well designed medical devices. To achieve this it recommended that user-centred design should begin early, and continue throughout device development. This a challenge, particularly for smaller companies who may lack necessary expertise knowledge. aim study was to conduct rigorous yet focused investigation into user requirements new imaging device. Open-ended semi-structured interviews were conducted with potential clinical users...
Block polymer self-assembly affords a versatile bottom-up strategy to develop materials with the desired properties dictated by specific symmetries and dimensions. Owing distinct compared linear counterparts, bottlebrush block polymers side chains densely grafted on backbone have attracted extensive attention. However, morphologies found in so far are limited, only lamellar cylindrical ordered phases been reported diblock bottlebrushes. The absence of complex morphologies, such as networks,...
This article considers the way in which discourses around risk intersect with ideology of motherhood advanced liberal societies. Neoliberal citizens are urged to exercise prudence light expert advice about minimizing through behavioral choices. The “good mother” is one who maximizes physical and psychological outcomes for her child, regardless personal cost. Drawing on data from a longitudinal interview study first-time mothers' feeding practices, moral context that arises at intersection...
This paper examines the relationship between state and individual in relation to an aspect of mundane family life – feeding babies young children. The nutritional status children has long been a matter national concern infant is that subjected substantial intervention. It exemplifies imposition upon women ‘biologico-moral responsibility’ for welfare ( Foucault, 1991b ).
Combining qualitative and quantitative methods in a single study—otherwise known as mixed-methods research—is common. In health research these projects can be delivered by teams. A typical scenario, for example, involves medical sociologists delivering components researchers from medicine or economics components. We undertook semistructured interviews with 20 who had worked on studies services to explore the facilitators of barriers exploiting potential this approach. Team working emerged...
Purpose To apply a recently developed native-space (or native-surface) method to compare resting functional magnetic resonance (MR) imaging correlations (functional connectivity) measured in patients with Parkinson-related dementia (PRD) those cognitively unimpaired, age-matched control subjects or without Parkinson disease (PD). Materials and Methods The study was approved by the institutional review board complied HIPAA regulations. Participants included unimpaired elderly individuals (n =...
The hexagonally close-packed (HCP) sphere phase is predicted to be stable across a narrow region of linear block copolymer space, but the small free energy difference separating it from face-centered cubic spheres usually results in coexistence. Here, we report discovery pure HCP melts with A = poly(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl acrylate) ("F") and B poly(2-dodecyl ("2D") or poly(4-dodecyl ("4D"). In 4DF diblocks F4DF triblocks, emerges substantial range A-block volume fractions (circa fA 0.25-0.30),...
ConspectusThe preparation of discrete and well-defined polymers is an emerging strategy for emulating the remarkable precision achieved by macromolecular synthesis in nature. Although modern controlled polymerization techniques have unlocked access to a cornucopia materials spanning broad range monomers, molecular weights, architectures, word "controlled" not be confused with "perfect". Indeed, even highest-fidelity techniques─yielding molar mass dispersities vicinity Đ = 1.05─unavoidably...
Polyborosiloxanes are used in a variety of fields due to their unique dynamic properties. Traditionally, cross-linked polyborosiloxanes prepared by incorporating boric acid into siloxane prepolymers, process that is time-consuming, energy intensive, and challenging reagent immiscibility. Here, we report versatile synthetic method rapidly cure polyborosiloxane networks via hydrosilylation chain end or backbone functionalized polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) derivatives with an inexpensive...
This paper reviews the contribution of qualitative methods to health services research (HSR) and discusses some issues involved in recognizing quality such work. The place work is first defined by reference Archie Cochrane's agenda for HSR limitations recent focus on randomized trials as standard method. Health care practice involves large elements improvisation which cannot be captured evidence-based approaches. Qualitative offer ways understanding this identifying more efficient effective...
Depth interviews were carried out with 46 people non-insulin dependent diabetes. In the course of narrative accounts, respondents displayed their thinking about nature diabetes and understandings how one ought to respond it. Two variations in patients′ interpretations are discussed here: extent which patients primarily orientated themselves toward symptom control or prevention complications, perceptions seriousness condition. Most believed be a serious condition, could cause complications....
