“…Phase Two of the study involved validating the ESQ (according to content validity, apparent internal consistency and clarity) and making refinements using the validation process established by Aamodt (1983) and Lynn (1986). Apparent internal consistency and content validity testing of the ESQ both achieved the preset 83% agreement between six raters for all items.…”

“…Information gathered from a questionnaire can reflect an extended period of time and, if comparable with other participants, can identify patterns within data. The principles of questionnaire design require the application of appropriate tool development, strategies, and the testing for clarity, apparent internal consistency and content validity (Aamodt, 1983;Edwards et al, 2002;Lynn, 1986;Meadows, 2002). Clarity is required in defining the parameters involved to ensure that each question is clearly understood and unambiguous in its meaning.…”

“…Content validity ensures what the researcher is attempting to measure is actually being measured within the questions being asked and will be definable in the data obtained (Burns, 2000;Imle, 1997). Internal consistency is a form of reliability, and refers to the degree to which the questions are all measuring the same attribute and if they are relevant to the purpose of the questionnaire (Aamodt, 1983;Lynn, 1986;Meadows, 2002;Polit & Hungler, 1993). An advantage of the questionnaire format is the ease of testing for apparent clarity, internal consistency and content validity before distribution enabling the researcher to adjust the design if required.…”

This four-phase mixed method study developed an evidence based ‘‘Endotracheal Suction Assessment Tool’’ (ESAT) as a guide for nurses undertaking ‘‘endotracheal tube’’ (ETT) suction within ‘‘Paediatric Intensive Care’’ (PIC). Phase 1 involved a comprehensive literature review to determine the most commonly used criteria for assessing the need for ETT suction. In Phase 2 an ‘‘Endotracheal Suction Questionnaire’’ (ESQ) was developed to survey experienced PIC nurses in Australia and New Zealand regarding their ETT suction decision making process and validity testing of the ESQ. In Phase 3, the ESQ was administered to target group (n = 104). In Phase 4, the empirical evidence generated from this study, based upon the criteria rated by nurses in this study as being most clinically important and essential during the decision making process, determined the ESAT design. Analyses of quantitative results showed a positive correlation between the perceived frequency of use of a criterion and the appropriateness of the assessment. Where a criterion was used less frequently as a clinical indicator for the requirement for ETT suction, participants had a lower regard for this when rating the criterion as a specific single indicator to perform suction. Findings from qualitative data identified six criteria not previously documented within the literature. Further testing and validation of the tool within the PIC setting will determine the clinical viability of the ESAT

“…Peer research, also known as insider research, auto-ethnography (Hayano, 1979), or complete member research (Adler & Adler, 1994), demands that one maintain consciousness of one's role and internal state (Aamodt, 1983;Reinharz, 1981). Two prior qualitative studies in which I shared a life experience or identity with the study population taught me important lessons and made this study easier than it might have been for a less experienced researcher.…”

We are the Canaries: Self-Care in Multiple Chemical Sensitivity Sufferers

This ethnographic study investigates the experiences of living with multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS), a condition increasing in prevalence but medically contested, on which very little qualitative research has been done. Participant observation included two treatment centers, a support organization, an Internet chat room, and conversations with MCS sufferers, activists, and educators. Semistructured interviews were conducted with 33 people with MCS, recruited to reflect a broad demographic range and severity of illness variation. This article describes several methodological issues associated with doing "peer research" and then describes self-care for symptom management. With no known cure, MCS sufferers manage their symptoms through three main avenues: prevention/avoidance, detoxification, and emotional self-care. Implications include education of health care providers and a warning from those who have MCS: "We are the canaries in the coal mine; what has happened to us will happen to many others unless we clean up our environment."

“…Because the context of my inquiry remains close to me and my upbringing, and given my proximity to the question at hand, as well as factors beyond my control in this research, such as an affection for the larger principles of Sufism, my inquiry is rooted in what Haraway (1988) calls situated knowledge. However, I don't claim to have the role of Bprivileged stranger^ (Aamodt 1983); I had left behind any allure for the Khaksari Sufi order long before apprenticing myself or confirming a covenant with any murshid. Despite this situated knowledge, I was challenged to discard my notions of the prayer beads and their meaning when I became familiar with a different reality while conducting participant observation in the workshop of the Sufi murshid.…”

Crafting Sacrality from the tensile life of objects: learning about the material life of prayer beads from a Khaksari Sufi Murshid

Sufi mystical experiences and practices are populated with objects. Objects exist among masters as well as disciples and followers regardless of the meanings and significations that practices impose on them. The life of these objects begins before they are enacted into sociocultural and religious relationships, as they are crafted or traded before they take on the overwhelming semiosis ascribed to them by religiouscultural codes or social networks. This article presents an apprenticeship ethnographic journey in which I follow an Iranian Sufi master and, along with him, the tensile life of Sufi prayer beads, or tasbihs. I address prayer beads as an object prior to their gaining of any religious meaning in the networks of everyday life. Tracing the material life of prayer beads reveals how the Bobjectness^of the rosary preexists the material practices that give it meaning in the Sufi order. Through the approach of speculative realism I examine what it means to study a religious-object-in-itself. I follow the religiously loaded object and its spiritual emergence by way of object-oriented ontology to forgo the meanings and relationships that shadow the objects.
