This paper examines the use of a qualitative research method, the focus group technique, as an option for obtaining perceptual data. Potential HOPE 3 program participants were engaged in a focus group setting to determine the feasibility of this major housing initiative for homeownership. The basics of qualitative research in general, the results obtainable from the use of qualitative research, the process involved in utilizing the focus group technique, and the methodology and results of an actual session using the focus group technique are presented. The information collected is presented expressly to illustrate the focus group technique, which allows possible controversial topics to be discussed in an open and positive manner. The scenario also provides confidentiality for the sponsoring agencies, organizations, and participating households. The focus group technique proved to be an excellent technique for assessing attitudes, preferences, and housing needs in a community that traditionally has had poor participant response to requests for public input. The focus group session presented opportunities to increase the understanding of programmatic conflicts, gain feedback from first-time users of new initiatives, further outreach efforts, and assess potential conflicts that might arise in the implementation process of the HOPE 3 program.

ABSTRACT A qualitative research offers insights into social, emotional and experimental phenomena. Unlike quantitative study, no structured questionnaire is involved in the data collection. Instead, series of semi-structured or unstructured interviews are conducted. Interview is one of the commonest methods of data collection used in qualitative study. It can be in the form of in-depth interview or focus group discussion (FGD). The moderator plays a crucial role in ensuring the success of the interviews conducted and the quality of information gained. This paper gives an overview on the two most common methods of data collection used in qualitative research: In-depth interviews and focus group discussion.

70% of medication errors occurring in the hospitals are preventable. The study was aimed to document, classify and examine interventions and examine reasons as to why pharmacists initiate changes in drug therapy and the outcomes of interventions, also examine the acceptability of interventions to analyze if intervention study can be a reliable learning process and to identify the areas of weakness in case of ineffective interventions. Interventions were broadly classified into Reactive interventions and Passive interventions. The study was conducted for six months. A total of 470 interventions were recorded in this study. Out of these 470 interventions, 104 were reactive interventions and 366 were passive interventions. Out of 92 outcome assessed interventions, the outcomes were beneficial in (91.30%) and had no effect in (8.70%). Active involvement of clinical pharmacists in the wards helps physicians in taking better therapeutic decisions which highlights areas where clinical pharmacists could prove their skill and knowledge to achieve better patient outcomes.

Abstract To study the perceptions of parents and caregivers on the use of live video in neonatal clinical practice in order to better assess its suitability, limits and constraints.Methods: Nine focus group interviews were conducted in four neonatal units involving 20 caregivers and 19 parents. Data were triangulated using transcripts and field notes and analyzed using inductive and semantic thematic analysis.Results: The seven major themes that emerged from the caregiver focus groups were (i) the impact of video recording on caregiver’s behavior; (ii) the impact on parents; (iii) forensic issues ;(iv) guarantee of use; (v) benefits for the new-born; (vi) methodology of use; and (vii) technical considerations & feasibility. The five major themes emerge from parents focus groups were i) benefits for the new-born and care enhancement; (ii) impact on parents and potential benefits in case of newborn child/parent separation; (iii) informed consent and guarantee of use;(iv) concern about a possible disruptive impact on caregivers; and (v) data protection.Conclusion: Both parents and caregivers found the use of video in care useful and acceptable if measures were taken to protect the data and mitigate any negative impacts on caregivers.

Implementation research ethics can be particularly challenging when pregnant women have been excluded from earlier clinical stages of research given greater uncertainty about safety and efficacy in pregnancy. The evaluation of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) during pregnancy offered an opportunity to understand important ethical considerations and social influences shaping women's decisions to participate in the evaluation of PrEP and investigational drugs during pregnancy. We conducted interviews with women ( n = 51), focus groups with male partners (five focus group discussions [FGDs]), interviews with health providers ( n = 45), four FGDs with pregnant/postpartum adolescents and four FGDs with young women. Data were analyzed using thematic content analysis, including ethical aspects of the data. Our study reveals that women navigate a complex network of social influences, expectations, support, and gender roles, not only with male partners, but also with clinicians, family, and friends when making decisions about PrEP or other drugs that lack complete safety data during pregnancy.

This study compares rapid and traditional analyses of a UK health service evaluation dataset to explore differences in researcher time and consistency of outputs.Mixed methods study, quantitatively and qualitatively comparing qualitative methods.Data from a home birth service evaluation study in a hospital in the English National Health Service, which took place between October and December 2014. Two research teams independently analysed focus group and interview transcript data: one team used a thematic analysis approach using the framework method, and the second used rapid analysis.Home birth midwives (6), midwifery support workers (4), commissioners (4), managers (6), and community midwives (12) and a patient representative (1) participated in the original study.Time taken to complete analysis in person hours; analysis findings and recommendations matched, partially matched or not matched across the two teams.Rapid analysis data management took less time than thematic analysis (43 hours vs 116.5 hours). Rapid analysis took 100 hours, and thematic analysis took 126.5 hours in total, with interpretation and write up taking much longer in the rapid analysis (52 hours vs 8 hours). Rapid analysis findings overlapped with 79% of thematic analysis findings, and thematic analysis overlapped with 63% of the rapid analysis findings. Rapid analysis recommendations overlapped with 55% of those from the thematic analysis, and thematic analysis overlapped with 59% of the rapid analysis recommendations.Rapid analysis delivered a modest time saving. Excessive time to interpret data in rapid analysis in this study may be due to differences between research teams. There was overlap in outputs between approaches, more in findings than recommendations. Rapid analysis may have the potential to deliver valid, timely findings while taking less time. We recommend further comparisons using additional data sets with more similar research teams.
