In this research piece, the author assesses and evaluates the concept of saturation and the various challenges associated with the same. It is important to note that in most qualitative research studies, researchers do not provide an explanation of the actual meaning of saturation in their study context. This is despite claiming that saturation did indeed occur. The author successfully presents a strong argument for saturation claims to be founded on clarification of the attainment of such saturation as well as clear basis or affirmation of the occurrence of the same. In highlighting the concept of saturation in naturalistic enquiry and the difficulties it brings fourth, the author succeeds in enabling researchers to not only manage the process in an effective manner, but also have better understanding of the concept. The research note is organized in an easy to follow and understand format.

Nurses in advanced roles -- practitioners, educators, and administrators -- have a 'professional and moral imperative' to conduct and/or promote ethically- and culturally-sound nursing research. One of the challenges presented to nurses is how research results are translated into practice, specifically, how reliable or applicable these results are when applied to a specific group or population with different views about medical/health care? It is in this kind of cases that
Health Psychology Response Past conducted research led experts to believe that men as a gender tend to not seek medical attention as often as they should for various health concerns. The purpose of this research study was to determine why it is that men under-use primary health services. Since reasons for this attitude towards healthcare are psychological, it necessitates a type of study which is subjective and based upon the individual

The following abstract demonstrates the different aspects of the scientific method: PROBLEM STATEMENT: Study of relationship between folates-B-vitamins and Alzheimer's disease. Adults who eat the daily recommended allowance of folates-B-vitamin nutrients found in oranges, legumes, leafy green vegetables and folic acid supplements significantly reduce their risk of developing Alzheimer's disease, according to results from a long-term study of diet and brain aging (SUPPORTED HYPOTHESIS REPORTED FINDINGS). The study also found that folates appear
Research Ethics It is important when conducting research that the researcher adheres to a strong set of ethical guidelines. Ethics ensure that the research is conducted without causing harm to any person. While modern research ethics began with the study of issues regarding the use of human subjects, it has evolved into a more comprehensive understanding of a wide range of norms of conduct (Resnik, 2010). Some of the different subject
Ethical Principles in Research While experimenting and during the research of several diverse subjects ranging from animal testing to human experimentation, from social and scientific transgression to scientific research, there are ethical principles that need to be adhered to and applied by the researchers. Study participants, who open up their lives to the researchers, commentators and also those followers during the period of one's research, rely and trust us so we
