Results must be interpreted in the context of appreciating
all of the possible limits of the study (Kagawa-Singer, 2000).
However, clinical significance and translational utility of
study results rarely are discussed. These issues are particularly
relevant to nurses and nursing research. Social scientists may
fi nd qualitative methods helpful in addressing contextual issues
that can inform clinical or translational applicability of
quantitative studies. One useful strategy is the focus group
interview that is organized to assist an investigator in clarifying
the fi ndings. Thus, a focus group conducted at the beginning
of a study may be used to generate new items during the
instrumentation development phase. In addition, a focus group
held at the end of the study is used to summate the fi ndings,
generate new hypotheses, and create recommendations for
application in the community during the clinical translational
phase (Ashing-Giwa, 2005a).
