Question

Why do you think qualitative research counts as Level lll evidence on the JHNEBP table?

Answer 1

According to the JHNEBP table, qualitative research counts as level III. This is classified base on the high evidence given by the research study. In a qualitative research study, there is a lack of evidence because not using the intervention and the data provided are mostly rely on the researcher's point of view by observation, interview etc. This data can be wrong because every researcher has a different view, this gives to get less evidence-based practice from qualitative research. There should be evidence for practice using intervention for control and research groups to identify the differences and evidence of the effectiveness of the intervention. But in the qualitative research, there is lack of intervention, control group leads to come down in level III.
