ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses two areas of qualitative findings. Research trends describe that it is efficacious to include both quantitative and qualitative findings in a study. Qualitative findings promote further understanding of quantitative findings. To conduct the qualitative analysis, the Principal Investigator identified patterns and systematically organized these into trends, and categories, and noted exceptions to these patterns. The patients in the comparison group were able to offer concrete, meaningful suggestions to improve their program, and some of these suggestions focused on addressing roles and skills. It is hoped that a program based on Role Development would be able to address these suggestions. The Principal Investigator interviewed patient participants who completed 12 weeks in comparison or experimental group and were in the facility at the conclusion of their respective aspect of the study. The patients in the comparison group were able to offer concrete, meaningful suggestions to improve their program, and some of these suggestions focused on addressing roles and skills.
