Qualitative Research Critique over attached article
EVALUATION CRITERIA
What is the phenomenon and is it clearly stated?
The phenomenon is the impact of the presence of a family while a patient is undergoing an intensive medical procedure. The phenomenon is clearly stated at the outset of the article. There is an option for registered nurses to have families present during these operations.
Is the context thoroughly described?
The context is thoroughly described, and includes RN's working with patients and their families in care settings "including the emergency department, cardiac stepdown, intensive care…and labor and delivery" (Knott and Kee, 2005, p. 192).
Are the informants appropriate to inform the research and adequately described?
The informants were appropriate to inform the research, since they consisted of RN's in acute care settings who worked on cardiac resuscitation operations with patients or who witnessed others doing so -- when there were family members present. This was the only criteria for the informants.
4. Does the research document the research process?
The research process is sufficiently documented in this article. It involved interviewing RN's in a variety of settings about the phenomenon. The interview questions are included in the article. There are also details regarding the data analysis...
What are the data collection strategies?
The data collection strategies involved the researchers asking the RNs a series of "open-ended questions" (Knott and Kee, 2005, p. 193) relating to the latter's experience with family presence during cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The RNs were also encouraged to add input outside of the questions at the end of the interviews.
6. Are considerations adequately addressed?
For the most part, the considerations of the study were adequately addressed. However, it would have been better to get more parity in the gender of the respondents, 90% of whom were women (Knott and Kee, 2005, p.194). It would also have been more advantageous and non-partisan to select respondents whom the researcher did not know -- which was not the case (Knott and Kee, 2005, p. 193).
7. Does the researcher address credibility, audibility and fittingness of the data?
The researchers addressed credibility, audibility and fittingness of the data by listing the respective specializations of the RN's interviewed, their education, and their demographic information. They also employed the constant comparative method to elucidate findings (Knott and Kee, 2005, p. 193-194).
8. Can the reader follow the researcher's thinking?
The reader can definitely follow the researchers' thinking. Every step in the method for…

Good researchers tend to pull methods out of a tool kit as they are needed" (2006, p. 54). Notwithstanding these criticisms and constraints, though, most social researchers seem to agree that classification by some type of research paradigm is a useful approach based on the need to determine which approach is best suited for a given research enterprise. In this regard, Corby concludes that, "The contested nature of research
" According to Patton (1998) the overrepresentation of African-American children in special education programs that are intended for students that have serious emotional or behavioral disorders, learning disabilities, and mental disabilities has continued to be a problem even though many researchers have recognized the problems that have occurred as a result of such overrepresentation. In fact there is exhaustive amounts of literature that explains the "causal factors that range from failure
