RESEARCHER AS DETECTIVE: The aim of this study was to find out how parents who have children with cerebral palsy are managing their everyday life. All data is collected based on the interviewing parents where they expressed what works and what does not work for them in terms of medical care, therapies, and how they are able to meet the needs for their children but also for their families.
EXTENDED FIELDWORK: Data for this study was collected over 10 months period. I am not sure that 10 months is extended period of time.
LOW INFERENCE DESCRIPTORS: In this study, there are plenty of direct quotes of the participants. The authors mentioned that their goal was that by “using direct quotes from participants during data analysis and presentation …show more content…
In addition to that, in this study a social constructivist viewpoint was used as well as grounded theory methodology. According to Birks and Mills (2011) and Charmaz (2006), “in grounded theory methodology, data collection and analysis are conducted concurrently following the method of constant comparative analysis” (Hayles, Harvey, Plummer & Jones, 2015, p. 1140). Charmaz (2006) and Creswell (2007,2009), describe a social constructivist viewpoint as “ a person’s understanding of a situation are constructed through social interaction and experiences” (Hayles, Harvey, Plummer & Jones, 2015, p. 1140).
DATA TRIANGULATION: If we define data triangulation as collecting data over some period of time, different space and multiple persons involved, then we can agree that data triangulation strategy was used in this study.
METHODS TRIANGULATION: Data was collected using multiple methods, such as: on the beginning, all participants described themselves, their child and their family dynamic, later on, they were answering particular questions. Since these researches were analyzing collected data, they modified questions in order to collect more specific information. Hence, they were using method
