This document discusses qualitative research approaches including narrative research, phenomenological research, and case study research. Narrative research involves collecting individual stories through interviews and reporting on experiences. Phenomenological research describes the meaning of a lived phenomenon for several individuals. Case study research explores a contemporary real-world case or cases using multiple data sources over time.

be Covered NARRATIVE RESEARCH
“Narrative” might be the phenomenon being studied,
such as a narrative of illness, or it might be the method used in a study, such as the procedures of analyzing stories told
The procedures for implementing this research
consist of focusing on studying one or two individuals, gathering data through the collection of their stories, reporting individual experiences, and chronologically ordering the meaning of those experiences Narrative researchers collect stories from individuals about individuals’ lived and told experiences. Narrative stories tell of individual Defining experiences, and they may shed light on the Features of identities of individuals and how they see themselves. Narrative Studies Narrative stories are gathered through many different forms of data. Narrative stories often are heard and shaped by the researchers into a chronology Narrative stories are analyzed in varied ways.
Defining Narrative stories often contain turning
points or specific tensions or interruptions Features of that are highlighted by the researchers in Narrative Studies the telling of the stories. Narrative stories occur within specific places or situations. 1 Biographical study

A phenomenological study describes the common
meaning for several individuals of their lived experiences of a concept or a phenomenon.
Phenomenologists focus on describing what all
participants have in common as they experience a phenomenon (e.g., grief is universally experienced). An emphasis on a phenomenon to be explored, phrased in terms of a single concept or idea. Defining The exploration of this phenomenon with a Features of group of individuals who have all experienced the phenomenon. Phenomenology A philosophical discussion about the basic ideas involved in conducting a phenomenology. The researcher brackets himself or herself out of the study by discussing personal experiences with the phenomenon. A data collection procedure that involves typically interviewing individuals who have Defining experienced the phenomenon. Features of Data analysis that can follow systematic procedures. Phenomenology A phenomenology ends with a descriptive passage that discusses the essence of the experience for individuals incorporating “what” they have experienced and “how” they experienced it. 1 Hermeneutic phenomenology

CASE STUDY RESEARCH Case study research is a qualitative approach in which the investigator explores a real-life, contemporary bounded system (a case) or multiple bounded systems (cases) over time, through detailed, in-depth data collection involving multiple sources of information (e.g., observations, interviews, audiovisual material, and documents and reports), and reports a case description and case themes. The unit of analysis in the case study might be multiple cases (a multisite study) or a single case (a within- site study). Case study research begins with the identification of a specific case. This case may be a concrete entity, such as an
Defining individual, a small group, an organization, or
a partnership. Features of The intent of conducting the case study is
Case Study also important.
A hallmark of a good qualitative case study is that it presents an in-depth understanding of the case. The selection of how to approach the data analysis in a case study will differ. A key to understanding analysis also is that good case study research involves a description of the case. Defining The themes or issues might be organized
