PD/Dance
Study for thesis methodology
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is qualitative research (as defined by Berg)? | a process that "seeks to answer questions by examining social settings and the individual who inhabit these settings" |
| When is a multiple case-study used? | when context is different in 2 or more cases with each case examined to understand similarities and differences with and between cases with the goal of replication of findings |
| Case study design is an approach that enables a phenomenon to be examined through ______________________. | different lenses |
| Examining a phenomenon through different lenses allows _______________________. | multiple and various themes and aspects to be revealed and understood |
| What contexts will be explored in the qual research on the 2 dance programs? | temporal and spatial, cultural, social, and personal contexts |
| What is a primary characteristic of case study methodology? | the understanding of culture and the engagement of individuals in interdependent activities |
| What type of case of format is being used in an attempt to explore relevant topics and contexts as they relate to the case of dance as a creative intervention for individuals with PD? | bounded case format |
| What are the inclusion criteria for our study? | a clinical diagnosis of PD with the presence of three out of the four cardinal signs of PD, willingness to attend 20 adapted-tango classes in 12 weeks, and ability to walk ten feet without assistance. |
| What are the exclusion criteria for our study? | physiological instability due to excessive medications, other neurological disease or insult, and a mental status score < 24 points on the Montreal Cognitive assessment |
| What are the 4 concepts within the EHP theory? | person, context, task, and performance |
| What are the internal and external factors of person in the EHP theory? | internal: individual's abilities, experiences, and sensorimotor, cognitive, and psychosocial skills; external: physical, temporal, social, and cultural factors |
| What comprises the context related to EHP for our study? | Dance for PD® and adapted tango |
| What does data collection consist of re. Dance for PD®? | previously gathered focus group transcriptions and written demographic survey |
| What do focus groups allow according to Berg? | quick and convenient collection of data from several people simultaneously |
| What are we going to do with the written transcriptions and completed surveys? | code and analyze for themes |
| What are our sources of data collection for adapted tango? | focus groups, direct observation, documentation/field notes, and participant observations |
| How many classes are required in order to participate in our focus groups? | 3 |
| WHat types of questions will be asked during focus group sessions? | semi-structured and probing questions |
| What sorts of direct observations will be made by an investigator located on the periphery of the dance floor? | physical environment, participant's behaviors, actions, interactions with others, and their speech |
| WHen will observations be documented? | within one hour of observation |
| What is the purpose of participating as a volunteer dance partner? | a means to gain greater insight into the case and the perceived experiences of the participants |
| How many classes are required in the larger parent study? | 20 classes while "on" medications |
| What pre- and post-measures are being used in the larger parent study? | functional mobility, postural control, gait, fall risk, balance confidence, QoL, spatial ability |
| Sampling of this study will be _________. | purposive |
| When will recruitment for focus group participation occur? | after 3 adapted tango classes |
| What methods bring meaning to case studies? | catagorical aggregation and direct interpretation of collected data |
| Where does data analysis begin? | first impressions |
| TO what does aggregation of data in this study refer? | examining the data for information related to the primary aim of this study with the goal of discovering cohesiveness in the themes as data emerges |
| When might meaningful patterns arise? | during observations, focus group sessions, and while reviewing collected data |
| How will meaning from data be drawn? | from observations through the triangulation methods and assertions |
| How will Dedoose, a web-based application for data analysis, be used by the researchers? | to separate the important data from extraneous data in order to bring key concepts and themes into focus. |
| When will natural generalizations be formed? | when using Dedoose, the researchers will separate the important data from extraneous data in order to bring key concepts and themes into focus. |
| What is natural generalization? | refers to conclusions derived from vicarious experience so soundly created that the person imagines that they have experienced it themselves (Stake, 1995). |
| How will we ensure trustworthiness? | this study will incorporate different sources of triangulation including data source, investigator, and methodological types |
| How will data source triangulation be established? | by means of comparing and contrasting the perceived experiences of the dance class participants from both dance classes to ensure observations and reports carry the same meaning under different circumstances |
| How will investigator triangulation be established? | accomplished by including a minimum of two researchers in attendance for each focus group, one researcher for facilitating the group and the second researcher for documenting observations and notes. |
| How will methodological triangulation be established? | using multiple audio recorders for each focus group, and incorporating participant check-in of the data after focus group transcriptions are complete. |
| When will peer debriefing occur? | on an ongoing basis throughout the study and again at the conclusion of the study. |
