" This study found that high-risk pregnancies and bed rest significantly increased the stressors upon the women. It measured this by using the Antepartum Stressors Hospital Inventory, and depressive symptoms were measured by the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D). The weekly rate of maternal weight gain during hospitalization was also significantly less than recent recommendations for multiple gestation weight gain and women on bed rest reported a high number of depressive symptoms than those patients not on bed rest. CES-D scores for depressive symptoms were high as were postpartum symptoms for women in the study.
This study also recommended that it is critical for hospitals to attempt to alleviate antepartum stress, but it focused on the physical risks posed by maternal weight loss, as well as psychological stress, stress, depression, family problems, and postpartum depression. However, because the women were not interviewed, they were not able to provide specific recommendations to improve their condition. The study is important because of its greater breadth, its scientific tracking of antepartum bed rest frustrations, and its demonstration that according to conventional medical inventories...
However, because this quantitative research does not allow women to speak about their condition, and addressing how nurses can specifically modify the hospital to lessen those stressors, it also highlights the importance as well as the greater readability and accessibility of qualitative research.

Beyond Creswell's Five Approaches According to Creswell, there are five basic approaches to qualitative research: case studies, phenomenology, narrative research, ethnographies, and grounded theory approaches. However, not all theorists classify qualitative research according to these categories. Some have a separate category for pure qualitative 'history' approaches whereby the focus of the study is upon a specific past event or phenomenon. This approach uses primary sources like letters, newspapers of the period,
probing of issues, and for examining issues that cannot be explained simply. More detailed analysis and open-ended responses are possible, and these add value to the research. Generally, it seeks answers to questions, especially where the answer is open-ended or not known by the research. . As such, qualitative research is often exploratory in nature, seeking to understand phenomena to a level of detail that is not otherwise possible
Today, social science researchers have a wide range of research methods available for criminology and criminal justice applications, divided generally between quantitative and qualitative methods. Although quantitative and qualitative research methods share some commonalities with respect to their overarching objectives, there are some fundamental differences involved that must be taken into account when selecting an optimal research strategy for a given research enterprise. The purpose of this paper was to
Criminal Justice Research Methods There are a large number of research methodologies that can be used to investigate the effectiveness of criminal justice practices and reforms. The methodologies can be grouped into qualitative and quantitative, with the former representing an inductive approach when little is understood about a phenomenon (Driessnack, Sousa, & Mendes, 2007) and the latter representing a deductive approach intended to quantify outcomes under controlled conditions (Sousa, Driessnack, &
