Paper Summary:

The paper reviews "Listening to Voices of High-Risk Antepartum Patients," that is a qualitative study that showed the stressors of antepartum patients.

The paper also reviews "Uncertainty and Stress in Women Hospitalized with High-Risk Pregnancy" that is a quantitative study of a sample of hospitalized antepartum women.

From the Paper:

"Research can be conducted in several different ways. One of the main distinctions is whether the study is qualitative or quantitative. Qualitative research is helpful to explore and better understand people's emotions, values, personal experiences, thoughts and actions. Instead of percentages and measurements, it supplies non-numerical data, for example recording a patient's concerns about not taking a medicine compared to handling the possible side effects. In health care, researchers often use the qualitative approach to acquire more information on how people deal with chronic illnesses."
