Abstract: | The paper looks at the methodology of a qualitative study on “Communication Challenges in the Control of Cervical Cancer Among Rural Women” a study that is at the stage of data analysis. The research takes a philosophical stance of the relativist tradition and thus uses a qualitative approach to develop the phenomenological study. This paper seeks to explore the challenges facing a qualitative research in the backdrop of a society where credible research has often been viewed as that which has been conducted quantitatively, with qualitative aspects used only to bring out descriptively the findings at the tail end of the study. This paper pays attention to aspects of sampling, research instruments, data generation, data analysis and trustworthiness in qualitative research. The paper also gives a summary of methodological challenges facing this qualitative study. In the preamble of the paper a general insight of the project is given, and at the end, a summary of some of the findings is outlined. |
