“…A proposal may be required for several purposes -for example, for a grant application; for an academic degree such as a masters (MSc) or a doctoral thesis (PhD); for a conference or seminar; or for ethical approval as part of a study. In a successful research proposal, the aims and purposes of the project must be clearly articulated, the research design must be appropriate for the aim of the study and it must be clearly explained in detail (Dallas et al 2005a, Dallas et al 2005b.…”

The aim of this article is to illustrate in detail important issues that research beginners may have to deal with during the design of a qualitative research proposal in nursing and health care. Cristina Vivar has developed a 17-step process to describe the development of a qualitative research project. This process can serve as an easy way to start research and to ensure a comprehensive and thorough proposal.

“…Data for this article are from a larger longitudinal qualitative study that examined paternal involvement of unmarried, low-income, African American adolescent fatherhood (Dallas, Norr, Dancy, Kavanaugh, & Cassata, 2005a, 2005b). Data were collected in a large Midwestern metropolitan area from the multiple perspectives of their kinship systems (Dallas, Dancy, Kavanaugh, Norr, & Cassata, 2012).…”

This article describes rapid repeat pregnancy (RRP), getting pregnant or giving birth again within 24 months of giving birth, in a group of unmarried, low-income, African American first-time, adolescent parent couples from the perspectives of their kinship systems, that is, the adolescent parents and their parents or parental figures. RRP has been associated with prematurity, low birth weight, inadequate prenatal care, school dropout, increased potential for poverty, and prolonged welfare dependence. There were 21 RRPs among 24 kinship systems: 9 adolescent males who fathered RRPs with new partners and also reported having been denied access to their study babies; 6 adolescent mothers with new partners, who also reported intimate partner violence with the study adolescent father; and 6 study adolescent parent couples, whose paternal family reported doubts about the paternity of the study babies. Adolescent fathers should be offered the same child care and contraceptive information routinely offered to adolescent mothers.

“…The data from this study were taken from a larger study examining paternal involvement of unmarried, low-income African American adolescent fathers from the perspectives of the kinship system (Dallas, Norr, Dancy, Kavanaugh, & Cassata, 2005a; Dallas, Norr, Dancy, Kavanaugh & Cassata, 2005b). Each of the 25 kinship systems was composed of the adolescent father, his parents or parent surrogate, the adolescent mother and her parents or parent surrogate.…”

“…Inclusion criteria were that this be the first pregnancy carried to term for both unmarried adolescent parents, that both adolescent parents reported wanting the father to be involved after the birth of the baby and that both adolescent parents identified at least one parent or parent surrogate who participated in the study (Dallas et al, 2005a). The parents and parent surrogates of the adolescent father and mother are hereafter referred to as grandparents.…”

Objective This study examined interactions between adolescent fathers and health care professionals (HCPS) from the perspectives of the families of the adolescent fathers during pregnancy and early post partum. Design Data were from the prenatal and 1-month data points of a larger longitudinal qualitative case study design examining paternal involvement. A purposive sample of 25 sets of unmarried, low-income African American adolescent fathers, adolescent mothers and at least one of each of their parents were individually interviewed at 1, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months after birth using a semi-structured interview guide. Data were analyzed using content analysis methods. Setting Approximately 90% were interviewed in their homes. Participants Annual household incomes were between $0 – $28K (M = $14,661). The 111 participants included 25 sets of adolescent parents, 50 grandmothers and 11 grandfathers. Approximately 75% of the adolescent fathers were 17 and 19 years of age. Results Supportive (information, emotional and material support), distancing and neutralizing interactions between HCPs and adolescent fathers were identified. Conclusions Although most interactions were perceived as supportive, distancing and neutralizing interactions could potentially have negative long-term effects for these vulnerable families and contribute to disparities in health care. Nurses may be important resources for these new fathers.
