Tell the truth when writing up and reporting the findings.

Treat participants with respect and seek their cooperation in the research.

Consider difference in participants’ time commitment.

Avoid research sites where participants may feel coerced to participate in the research. Honour the participants’ privacy.

Codes of ethics have to be set by researches in order to protect participants and support ethical approaches to fieldwork.

they contribute to the analysis of the data they generate.

In qualitative research, participants have a vital role

Descriptive data

No matter what type of question, exploratory, descriptive or interpretative, they have to produce findings closer to the data.

Sandelowski (2000) noted that researches present comprehensive narratives of phenomena or events based on open-ended questions.

all the details must be considered.

The data collected in qualitative research take the form of words or pictures rather than numbers.

The three main methods of data collection

focus group, in-depth interviews and participant observation.

focuses on process rather than outcomes;

this uses multiple interactive.

Inductive

the qualitative researcher “constructs a picture that takes shape as he/she collects and examines the parts”

researchers have to spend time with participants to experiment themselves particular situations.

his approach uses a bottom-up direction to understand situations, focus on behaviours, construct theories and reach conclusions.

Qualitative research analyses the data in an inductive

which means that theories or concepts are built on the base of gathering data.
