AC 1.1, 2.1, 2.2 The qualitative research method involves the analysis of data, such as words, images, or objects. It is more subjective and requires the researcher to interpret the data to form thematic ideas. Quantitative research can collect a large amount of data that can be easily organized and manipulated into reports for analysis. Often includes one-on-one interviews. Use open-ended questions. This means that the researcher must interpret the results. Furthermore, in qualitative research it is used to generate hypotheses and develop an understanding about a particular group using words and images rather than numbers. That said, qualitative research focuses on a smaller sample group to help find more in-depth analysis. For example, if you wanted to know how many customers support a proposed change in products or service and how strongly they support it. Again, in quantitative research, the researcher may end up with data reduced to numbers, which are analyzed using statistics. They tend to focus on the numbers to get the full picture. At the same time, in qualitative research, it is about describing and analyzing a phenomenon using words. In many research projects, mixed quantitative and qualitative methods are used in order to obtain a fuller and more complete explanation of the topic studied. However, quantitative data is often described as more limited in scope and depth than qualitative data. For the most part, quantitative methods have some notable advantages; they also have a disadvantage, which means that some phenomena can be better studied using different qualitative methods. In this report, the researchers used qualitative synthesis. In this regard, the researcher wanted to verify the importance of information and education, which are essential and effective before discharge from hospital and continues when the elderly person returns home. The different types of studies required include qualitative accounts of the views of those receiving services and descriptive and observational work on how interventions are put into practice (so-called "process and implementation studies"). In the systematic review community, these are sometimes referred to as “differently designed studies,” and because such studies by definition use a variety of methods, they require different types of methods to synthesize their findings.
