30There are a number of different ways to select a sample in qualitative studies and many different words and phrases to describe the [blank_start]approaches[blank_end]. The weakest form of sampling is [blank_start]convenience[blank_end] sampling. While it can be useful when the researcher begins a study, it should ideally be followed by [blank_start]purposive[blank_end] sampling. Another sampling approach involves asking [blank_start]participants[blank_end] to identify people they know with a similar experience so that they can be approached to take part in the study. This is known as [blank_start]snowball[blank_end] sampling. Another type of [blank_start]sampling[blank_end] is used by grounded theorists, and is described as [blank_start]theoretical[blank_end] sampling. They use this approach to find participants to help them to develop and 'test out' emerging [blank_start]theory[blank_end] about the issue being researched. Deborah Ward used yet another approach in her paper about student nurses' experiences of infection control. She described this as [blank_start]non-probability volunteer sampling.[blank_end]

39Qualitative data analysis has a number of aims. An overall aim of all data analysis, be it [blank_start]qualitative[blank_end] or quantitative is data [blank_start]reduction[blank_end] . This makes reams of data more [blank_start]manageable[blank_end] , and helps the researcher to see what is there. Another aim of qualitative data analysis can be to generate [blank_start]hypotheses[blank_end] or questions that can then be tested using [blank_start]quantitative[blank_end] methods. This is not the case with all qualitative research, however, the findings of which can sometimes be an end in themselves . Ethnographers tend to simply [blank_start]describe[blank_end] the data. They do this in great detail which is often referred to as [blank_start]rich[blank_end] or 'thick' description. The aim of data analysis for grounded theorists is a step beyond this which is to develop theory . If this is not in evidence in the paper or report from the study, it is not a [blank_start]grounded[blank_end] theory!

44Qualitative researchers prefer to use alternatives to the terms validity and [blank_start]reliability[blank_end] that are used to assess the [blank_start]rigour[blank_end] of quantitative studies. In fact, some qualitative researchers prefer to use the term quantitative in preference to rigour. For reliability, or 'repeatability' in quantitative research, qualitative researchers use the term dependability . For internal validity (the extent to which a tool measures what is purports to [blank_start]measure[blank_end]), qualitative researchers use the term credibility . For generalisability (also known as external validity) qualitative researchers use the term [blank_start]transferability[blank_end] . Even the term objectivity is contested in qualitative research, which is highly interpretive. The preferred term is confirmability .
