“…Consequently, we also agree with Haverkamp and Young (2007) that "achieving a match between purpose and paradigm enhances the credibility of one's research" (p. 275). Although these authors were referring to QUAL research, we believe this reference is equally applicable to QUAN and MM.…”

Quantitative research dominates published literature in the helping professions. Mixed methods research, which integrates quantitative and qualitative methodologies, has received a lukewarm reception. The authors address the iterative separation that infuses theory, praxis, philosophy, methodology, training, and public perception and propose a dimensional viewpoint as a framework for successful integration of mixed methods research. This dimensional perspective demonstrates that mixed methods research techniques are necessary but not sufficient to study spiritual, ethical, and religious value issues. Research of career development, "best practices," nature-nurture, and prayer illustrate weaknesses and opportunities for evaluating dimensional mixed methods approaches.

“…In the open coding phase, the analysis team performed line-by-line open coding of the transcript from the interview at the end of interval 1. The investigators then established a preliminary set of codes through consensus coding (Haverkamp and Young, 2007). After creating the initial codebook, LR stepped away from the analytical discussions to serve as an external auditor of the analytic process and findings.…”

Learning of Artificial Sensation Through Long-Term Home Use of a Sensory-Enabled Prosthesis

et al. 2019

Upper limb prostheses are specialized tools, and skilled operation is learned by amputees over time. Recently, neural prostheses using implanted peripheral nerve interfaces have enabled advances in artificial somatosensory feedback that can improve prosthesis outcomes. However, the effect of sensory learning on artificial somatosensation has not been studied, despite its known influence on intact somatosensation and analogous neuroprostheses. Sensory learning involves changes in the perception and interpretation of sensory feedback and may further influence functional and psychosocial outcomes. In this mixed methods case study, we examined how passive learning over 115 days of home use of a neural-connected, sensory-enabled prosthetic hand influenced perception of artificial sensory feedback in a participant with transradial amputation. We examined perceptual changes both within individual days of use and across the duration of the study. At both time scales, the reported percept locations became significantly more aligned with prosthesis sensor locations, and the phantom limb became significantly more extended toward the prosthesis position. Similarly, the participant’s ratings of intensity, naturalness, and contact touch significantly increased, while his ratings of vibration and movement significantly decreased across-days for tactile channels. These sensory changes likely resulted from engagement of cortical plasticity mechanisms as the participant learned to use the artificial sensory feedback. We also assessed psychosocial and functional outcomes through surveys and interviews, and found that self-efficacy, perceived function, prosthesis embodiment, social touch, body image, and prosthesis efficiency improved significantly. These outcomes typically improved within the first month of home use, demonstrating rapid benefits of artificial sensation. Participant interviews indicated that the naturalness of the experience and engagement with the prosthesis increased throughout the study, suggesting that artificial somatosensation may decrease prosthesis abandonment. Our data showed that prosthesis embodiment was intricately related to naturalness and phantom limb perception, and that learning the artificial sensation may have modified the body schema. As another indicator of successfully learning to use artificial sensation, the participant reported the emergence of stereognosis later in the study. This study provides the first evidence that artificial somatosensation can undergo similar learning processes as intact sensation and highlights the importance of sensory restoration in prostheses.

“…A qualitative, interpretivist approach was used for this study (Haverkamp & Young, 2007;Kvale & Brinkmann, 2009) as the authors were interested in uncovering the multiple, subjective practice experiences of evangelical Christian occupational therapists. We sought participant narratives about a particular experience-practising as an occupational therapist while holding specific religious beliefs-by asking about everyday experiences, focusing on the meaning participants made of those experiences.…”
