A nurse researcher is considering the concurrent transformative strategy for a new study. Prior to choosing this strategy, the researcher should assure that which assets are present on the research team? Standard Text: Select all that apply
1. Team members should have a good understanding of the phenomenon being studied.
2. Some team members should have expertise in qualitative research methods.
3. All team members should have expertise in quantitative research methods.
4. Team members should be able to commit to a more lengthy data collection period than with sequential methods.
5. Team members should have strong planning and organizational skills.
1, 2, 5
Rationale 1: A strong understanding of the phenomenon being studied is essential for concurrent transformative research.
Rationale 2: It is difficult for all researchers to have sufficient expertise in all methods of research. At least some of the team members should be experts in each method.
Rationale 3: It is not necessary for all team members to have expertise in quantitative research as long as there are some team members that are experts.
Rationale 4: Because data are being collected concurrently, the time required is typically shorter than for sequential data collection.
Rationale 5: When data are collected concurrently, the team may be dealing with a large amount of data that come into the study rapidly. Good planning is necessary to analyze the data, and good organization skills are needed to maintain data integrity.
