In the next activity you will re-connect to the work you did in the beginning of your program.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=8xvpxBVCo0c\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=8xvpxBVCo0c<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As you watch, note down the definition for the following words:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>paradigm<\/li>\n<li>ontology<\/li>\n<li>epistemology<\/li>\n<li>methodology<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>What is Qualitative research?<\/h3>\n<p>Nurses and midwives often have an interest in questions that involve&nbsp;gaining a holistic understanding&nbsp;of people and their experiences.
