Frizzo et al. (2017) present an idea behind grieving women’s blogging about their child loss. They try to “explore and comprehend how this experience is related to the grief process” (Frizzo et al., 2017, p.117). This was a report on virtual ethnography from a story investigation of information acquired from i40 websites about the passing of a child, as indicated by the hypothesis proposed in the double interaction model of the grieving process. The paper does not contain any technical terms and uses simple structure in sentences. Thus, it is easy to comprehend the meaning of the study.
Mako et al. (2016) state the perspectives of how patients see care. They evaluate “patients’ perceptions of the meaning of good care in inpatient surgical care” (Mako et al. 2016, p. 2). Charmaz’s grounded hypothesis was picked as the intervention plan. Interviews were directed with 13 patients from six careful wards in the south of Sweden. The study is quite detailed on the study steps and applied methods and policies. Each quote is explained with comments, making the results easy to follow.
In the study by Frizzo et al. (2017), I felt empathy for the participants as they described their situation and anguish on the loss of their children. The outcomes of the second research did not come as a surprise for me as it is understandable that regular checks and long-term stay at the hospital guarantee a patient’s satisfaction. Both of the studies approached to examine the opinions and feelings of people related to specific situations. However, the first paper analyzes the blog post on the website, whereas the study by Mako et al. (2016) has interviews with patients.
