Abstract
Qualitative researchers explore phenomena to discover meaning through descriptive and interpretative approaches. Within the plethora of literature, qualitative research can be guided by a multitude of methodologies which have defined approaches and boundaries, yet it can also be generic and much more fluid. When embarking on a research project, researchers need to determine their best approach according to the aims and intended outcomes. Novice and experienced researchers can struggle in this task, however, which can require a considerable amount of reflection, particularly since there is no single or best approach that fits all circumstances. In this timely edition of Nurse Researcher, several authors offer guidance and insight into a range of techniques for using frameworks to guide research for both experienced and novice nurses.
