Abstract
Editorial: Qualitative research is undertaken in naturalistic settings and is interpretive in nature, with the collected information deriving mostly from interviews and observation (Endacott 2008). During the last quarter of a century, there has been a proliferation of qualitative research, by and large in nursing and some other socially oriented (person focused) disciplines and it has almost become the default research approach. Over this time, the quality of published qualitative research has improved in some quarters and become, in our opinion, ritualistic in others.
