“…According to GAD-7 scores of anxieties: minimal anxiety present in 32 patients without catheter of whom 7 were in the age group of 18-25 years, 10 Severe anxiety present in 3 patients without catheter of whom 1 was in the age group of 36-45 years, 1 was in the age group of 46-55 years and 1 was in the age group of 56-65 years (Tables 1 and 2).…”

“…The majority of patients were frightened, apprehensive, terrified, and humiliated about their illness process, according to qualitative research in which authors conducted in-depth interviews with 18 patients with urethral stricture disease. 10 The emotional discomfort suffered by direct family members of patients with urethral structure was measured in research by Weese et al Sleep disturbances, less social engagements, mental stress and a lack of sexual intimacy are among the issues. 11 Another study of qualitative survey out of 43 patients studied 24 had mild anxiety with catheter which increased to 37 after removal of the catheter, and 19 patients had moderate to severe level anxiety which decreased to only 6 after removal of catheter.…”

Background: Urethral stricture patients are often associated with general anxiety disorders. So, our objective was to gather the data of manifestation of anxiety disorder in urethral stricture patients.Methods: We had measured the anxiety level of these patients after two weeks of insertion of catheters (with catheter) and again two weeks after removal of catheter (without catheter) by using the ‘7-item generalized anxiety disorder’ (GAD-7) tool.Results: During the data analysis we have found that amongst the 56 patients included in the study 24 patients had minimal, 12 patients had mild, 11 patients had moderate and 9 patients had severe level of anxiety after 2 weeks of insertion of catheter. Later on, two weeks after removal of catheter 32 patients had minimal, 14 patients had mild, 7 patients had moderate level and 3 patients had severe level of anxiety.Conclusions: So, it can be concluded that urethral stricture disease with an indwelling catheter is an important cause of moderate to severe anxiety and proper intervention plan is crucial for all patients before and after inserting catheter.

“…Phenomenological research, then, is directed towards active involvement in one person's reality-for example, what it means to be a person waiting for a renal transplant (which may be his or her only remaining source of hope for life). 4 To help develop the interpretation of the situation being studied, the phenomenological researcher may draw on other sources of data, such as novels, films or reviewing, and analyzing other people's research.…”

Background: Qualitative research is a comparatively new approach to research, and more so in the field of medical science in particular. There is a common myth that this type of research is not very scientifically approved or reliable. Also, it is particularly applicable in the field of social sciences, and not so much in a pure scientific arena, particularly, one like medical science. This article is written, therefore, to elaborate on the scientific background and the theoretical approaches to qualitative research. Descriptive design: Descriptive or exploratory design is a very commonly used approach to research, in which the researcher simply wants to explore or identify what is going on in a given situation. The team members have to devise an interview schedule that has several short openended questions to focus on their inquiry. Interpretive design: The three most common approaches to interpretive design are ethnography, phenomenology, and grounded theory. All three are now used in health and social care research. These three approaches to research use inductive reasoning. However, the particular perspective from which they seek to do this will vary according to orientation. Ethnography: It is an approach to research influenced by the anthropological tradition, in which the researcher seeks to understand human behavior from the perspective of the individual in a given culture. Phenomenology is an approach to research that emphasizes and seeks to explore the real-life experience of an individual. Grounded theory: It is an approach to research in which the aim is to collect and analyze qualitative data in order to develop a theory that is "grounded" in the data. Grounded theory is rather different from the other approaches of qualitative research because it uses both inductive and deductive reasoning. Conclusion:In conclusion, it can be said that qualitative research is a highly scientific method of research involving modern and acceptable statistical analysis and inference also, and the results that we get can be applied beneficially to further researches, generation of treatment, diagnostic and public health strategies and most importantly framing new social, scientific and governance policies.

“…3,6 This transcript is then subjected to a selection of "codes" which are nothing but descriptive names applied to certain thoughts coming up repeatedly in a transcript. 2,7,8 Several codes together make a broader "category." Coding is, therefore, the fundamental unit of data analysis and category is a bigger unit.…”

Qualitative research is a simple, inexpensive and effective tool in medical research. The data analysis in qualitative researches, though based on certain ground rules, do not follow a rigid process like the data analysis of quantitative researches. It is ongoing through and through method. One interesting feature of data collection and analysis in qualitative research is “constant comparison”. This is a highly unique method in this type of research as compared to the quantitative research. Qualitative researches usually involve inductive reasoning, but there is deductive reasoning also. The first step of analyzing qualitative data is to transcribe all data into English from vernacular language. This transcript is then subjected to selection of “codes” which are nothing but descriptive names applied to certain thoughts coming up repeatedly in a transcript. Several codes together make a broader “category”. Themes are emerged from categories which are broad categories of information. The process of transcript analysis is called “content analysis” and this is at the end converted into “thematic analysis” which gives the meaning of the whole research and the answers to the original research question(s). There is ‘consolidated criteria’ for reporting qualitative research (COREQ) which is a 32 item check list for interviews and focus group discussions.
