Qualitative research describes feelings, objects, interviews, and places,<br \/>\nand uses surveys to gather information. These types of studies will normally<br \/>\nconsist of smaller focus groups and have more subjective views and direct quotes.<br \/>\nKraus<sup style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">1<\/sup> presents a qualitative research study that looks in depth at<br \/>\nthe feelings of Certified registered nurse Anesthetists (CRNA) during the<br \/>\nCOVID-19 pandemic.<span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">&nbsp; <\/span>The methodology was a<br \/>\nqualitative descriptive study that consisted of a focus group of 12 individuals<br \/>\nwith a mean age of 46, a minimum age of 33 years old, and a maximum of 60 years<br \/>\nold. These interviews were conducted via telephone and all of the participants<br \/>\nconsented before the start of the research study. The bulk of the information<br \/>\nthat was gathered was based on five important themes that the researcher<br \/>\nbelieved were essential for the main topic &#8220;Experiences of CRNAs during<br \/>\nCovid-19\u201d.<span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">&nbsp; <\/span>The researcher was able to<br \/>\nuse these themes which consisted of the roles of CRNAs during COVID-19, the<br \/>\ncollaboration that CRNAs experienced during the pandemic, the mental<br \/>\nimplication for the CRNAs, and finally the last theme which consisted of the<br \/>\npride in the profession. These were the foundation of the conceptual framework<br \/>\nthat helped the researchers generate their results, which included that<br \/>\nCovid-19 did create some mental fatigue and even burn-out. More interesting, a<br \/>\nlot of the CRNAs build a sense of pride in their profession in relationship to<br \/>\nthe positive impact that they were able to provide the hospital with their<br \/>\nskills during that time of need. According to the reports by Kraus<sup style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">1<\/sup><br \/>\nCRNAs were used as bedside nurses, they were placing central lines in critically<br \/>\nill patients, and they were also considered the airway specialists intubating patients<br \/>\none after another. The various roles of CRNAs during the Covid-19 showed how<br \/>\ndiverse this profession is, and the multiple hats that CRNAs wore during the<br \/>\npandemic. The strengths of qualitative research helps the reader understand the<br \/>\nfeelings that are occurring within the study group and feel more of a<br \/>\nconnection, the weakness of this approach is that it becomes subjective and<br \/>\nit\u2019s open to interpretation which could have been a completely different point<br \/>\nof view from what the author intended it to be.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 150%; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 150%; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 150%; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><b style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">Quantitative<br \/>\nresearch<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 150%; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">Requires<br \/>\nthe researcher to obtain a larger group set, to obtain better numerical values<br \/>\nthat will be beneficial for the computing of the data that then will be<br \/>\npresented to the reader. The information of the data can be viewed as numerical<br \/>\nor could be translated to a numerical value. This makes one of the key<br \/>\ndifferences between quantitative research versus qualitative. The information<br \/>\nobtained becomes more concrete versus subjective. The Quantitative research<br \/>\narticle by Morrow<sup style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">2<\/sup> took an in-depth look at the number of CRNAs that<br \/>\nare performing Opioid-Free Anesthesia (OFA) and what were the actual barriers<br \/>\nto adopting this method. <span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">&nbsp;<\/span>The researcher<br \/>\nused a previous pilot study done in Arizona to determine the sample size that<br \/>\nwas going to be needed to yield results. Morrow<sup style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">2<\/sup> determined the<br \/>\npopulation size was 56,000 CRNAs at the time of research, with that population<br \/>\nnumber an estimate of 351 respondents would help create a 95 % confidence level<br \/>\nwith a 4.25 % precision. The researcher was only able to successfully have 339<br \/>\nCRNAs finish the survey which asked specific questions versus open-ended<br \/>\nquestions. The finding of this article noted that CRNAs who were younger in<br \/>\ntheir 30s to mid-40s would perform OFA using peripheral nerve blocks as a<br \/>\nmethods for pain control. Other findings that were noted were that CRNAs who<br \/>\nhad a doctoral degree were more willing to try new techniques compared to the<br \/>\nCRNAs who have their bachelor\u2019s with a certificate, which lacked exposure to<br \/>\nmultimodal anesthetic plans during their initial training. The strength of this<br \/>\nmethod of research is that the actual numbers are data points that are derived<br \/>\nfrom larger sample sizes. This type of research gives the reader more information<br \/>\nand presents it with certainty. This type of research helps CRNAs that have<br \/>\nbeen in the field for a long time to view continuing education as a tool, to<br \/>\nkeep relevant with new approaches\/studies in anesthesia, especially when it<br \/>\ncomes to dealing with pain control and the use of less narcotics. A separate<br \/>\narticle written by Kamal<sup style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">3<\/sup> emphasizes the importance of postgraduate<br \/>\nstudents attending conferences in their respective fields of study, and being<br \/>\nup to date with the current evidence-based practice models and techniques. The<br \/>\nweakness of this type of research is that the numbers could be potentially<br \/>\nskewed by the researcher to have a more favorable outcome to prove a certain<br \/>\nhypothesis provided by the researchers. Overall, I like this type of<br \/>\nquantitative research because, if there are numbers that do seem right, you as<br \/>\nthe reader could verify the data points and determine if they a creditable or<br \/>\nnot.<b style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><b style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><b style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">References<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">1.<span style=\"font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">Kraus,<br \/>\nMitchell,D.N.P., C.R.N.A., Montague, Emma,D.N.P., C.R.N.A., Krawczyk,<br \/>\nSusan,D.N.P., C.R.N.A., Simonovich SD,PhD.R.N.
