Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice of Qualitative Research Among Health Sciences Faculty.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background The importance of qualitative research in health sciences is rising. Qualitative research needs more attention from healthcare practitioners. Hence, some questions in the healthcare field may only be answered through qualitative research methodologies. In this study, we aimed to assess the knowledge, practice, and attitude among health sciences faculty about qualitative research. Methodology This cross-sectional study was conducted at King Saud Bin Abdulaziz University for Health Sciences (KSAU-HS). A convenient sampling technique was used to collect data from health sciences faculty participants. Participants were included from five different colleges, i.e., College of Medicine, Applied Health Sciences, Nursing, Pharmacy, and College of Dentistry. A 20-question, self-made questionnaire was given to each participant. The questionnaire had five attitude questions, 10 knowledge questions, and five practice questions. Results A total of 236 participants completed the study questionnaire. The majority of the study participants (198, 84%) had an overall poor knowledge of qualitative research methodologies. Most participants (214, 91%) agreed that qualitative research is important in health sciences. More than half of the participants had never attended a qualitative methods workshop (140, 59%). About three-quarters of the participants (175, 74%) had never participated in a qualitative research project. Conclusions The overall knowledge and practice of qualitative research methodologies were poor among KSAU-HS health sciences faculty while they had a good attitude toward its importance in health sciences.
