Background: The application of Regulation of the Minister of Health Number 72 of 2016 is very important to be implemented in every Pharmacy Installation in a hospital, one of which is in the clinical pharmacy service section, namely dispensing sterile preparations to avoid the possibility of medication errors. Objective: The research aimed to find out how the implementation of Regulation of the Minister of Health Number 72 of 2016 stipulated in the basic guidelines of aseptic techniques related to space, equipment, and the implementation of dispensing sterile preparations with its practice in Hospital "X" Gianyar, Bali. Methods: This research used Sequential Explanatory design by combining quantitative and qualitative methods. Results: The results of quantitative research with a checklist found the percentage of completeness of the room and equipment by 100%, while the conformity of the practice with the guidelines of 76.48% is appropriate. The results of qualitative research with triangulation matrices that practice is by the guidelines. Conclusion: Dispensing sterile preparations at the Hospital "X" is following the basic guidelines of aseptic techniques that refer to Regulation of the Minister of Health Number 72 of 2016. Keywords: Implementation, regulation, dispensing, sterile preparations, guidelines, medication errors

Female circumcision (FC) is a practice attributed to Muslims since it isusually practiced in societies where Muslims predominate. This study is intendedto investigate the underlying beliefs and practices of FC among Meranaos in thePhilippines, one of the major Muslim tribes in the country that still practiceFC. The study also outlined the procedure being followed by the women. Thisstudy utilized a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods using aspecially designed questionnaire, interviews and focused group discussions withthe respondents. Overall, the results showed common viewpoints among femalerespondents and manunuris as they believed that this practice has religious basisin the Hadith, and is a symbol of fidelity to the institution of marriage and a commitment to Islam. Pricking and removing some tissues from the clitoris is the most common method utilized. The problems in the functionalities inherent inthis practice mentioned by the female respondents were pain, bleeding, infection,anxiety, trauma and fear. The positive responses mentioned were increasingconfidence, obedience, and improved social interaction. Male respondents have uncertainty concerning the basis of this practice. The religious leaders confirmedthat the verse in the Hadith concerning circumcision is not clear and inconclusiveand expressed their agreement in the eradication of this practice. Keywords - Sociology, female circumcision, functionalities, qualitative research,quantitative research, Lanao del Sur, Philippines

Quantitative And Qualitative Methods

This chapter revisits trade-offs that qualitative researchers face when balancing the different expectations of area studies and disciplinary audiences. One putative solution to such trade-offs, mixed-method research, emphasizes the triangulation of quantitative and qualitative methods. CAS, as defined above, essentially encourages a different form of triangulation—the pooling of observations and interpretations across a wider array of cases spanning multiple areas. This kind of triangulation can be facilitated by cross-regional contextualized comparison, a middle-range approach that stands between area-bound qualitative research and (Millean) macro-comparative analysis that brackets out context in search of causal laws. Importantly, this approach relies upon an area specialist’s sensibilities and experience to generate awareness of local complexities and context conditions for less familiar cases. The examples of cross-regional contextualized comparison considered in this chapter collectively demonstrate that engagement with area studies scholarship and the pursuit of disciplinary knowledge can be a positive-sum game.

Qualitative research is an increasingly popular method of enquiry in biomedical, clinical and behavioural research. Once regarded as the preserve of social scientists and psychologists, qualitative methods have entered the mainstream of epidemiology and clinical research, as evidenced by the publication of a series of papers in the British Medical Journal (Britten 1995; Mays and Pope 1995; Pope and Mays 1995; Pope et al. 2000). The qualitative methods to be described in this chapter offer a scientific approach to understanding and explaining the experiences, beliefs, and behaviour of defined groups of people. The contrasting features and the complementary roles of qualitative and quantitative methods of enquiry will be described. While the majority of chapters in the present volume are concerned with research methods designed to answer questions such as ‘how many?’ or ‘how frequently?’, qualitative methods enable us to explore the ‘why?’, ‘what?’, and ‘how?’ of human behaviour. Since the aim is to understand the meaning of the phenomena under study from the perspective of the individuals concerned, the direction of enquiry is guided more by respondent than researcher. This approach is particularly appropriate to complex phenomena such as the range of beliefs that underlie illness behaviour and the aspects of health care that matter to different service users. Qualitative enquiry would focus on identifying beliefs and describing the circumstances that surround particular behaviours, while quantitative research would focus on measurable characteristics of the sample and the frequency and outcome of their behaviour. An example of the contribution of the two methodological approaches is the study of variations in treatment of depression in older people. Epidemiological studies in the community and in primary care settings have found that the prevalence of depression in older adults far exceeds the prevalence of the disorder among those consulting their general practitioners. To identify the factors associated with this disparity, qualitative researchers would set out to explore the reasons why older people with depression do and do not present their symptoms to the GP. The aim would be to describe the range of beliefs about depression among attenders and non-attenders. The quantitative approach would involve establishing the strength of associations between personal characteristics, external factors, and behaviour of older people with depression. It is clear from this example that both approaches are complementary in identifying the nature of the disparity. Qualitative research is based on the premise that each individual's experience is unique and the beliefs that underlie illness behaviour can only be measured once identified and described from a variety of individual perspectives. When information of this type is combined with data on prevalence and variable risk, more appropriate services and outcome measures can be developed.
