[Audio] Enisa Bajrekarevic SCS 858: 4-2 Project one-methods Professor Thomas McLaughlin November 19, 2023.

Scene 2 (13s)

[Audio] Qualitative Methodology used in this study was qualitative the study explores the impact of constant observation, the importance of communication and companionship, and the role of in-cell activities. It employed interviews or open-ended discussions with women who survived suicide attempts in prison. The study collects and analyzes rich, descriptive data to derive insights into the experience of women in this specific context Borrill et al., (2005) In this study, it contributes to insight into mental health and the criminal justice system, offering recommendations that can potentially improve the well-being and outcomes of incarcerated individuals who are vulnerable to self-harm..

Scene 3 (1m 0s)

[Audio] This research study specifically employs semi-structured interviews. According to Short et al., (2009) It seeks to understand and explore the attitudes of prison staff towards women prisoners who self-harm. Qualitative research aims to delve into the complexity of human experiences, attitudes and perceptions. To better align this study with my specific topic main focus for instance could be exploration of interventions, policy implications, or the experiences of the individuals engaging in self-harm within the prison..

Scene 4 (1m 39s)

[Audio] Quantitative It is a quantitative study because it involves the synthesis (collected numerical data on various risk factors associated with self-harm in prison) and statistical analysis which employed calculating pooled effect sizes, odd ratios and confidence intervals. This study provides insight into the mental health challenges faced by prisoners Favril et al., (2020). Connecting this knowledge with the self-harm topic continues to the ongoing discussions and developments of mental health..

Scene 5 (2m 13s)

[Audio] This research study fits the definition of a quantitative study by utilizing numerical data, employing statistical analyses, and presenting findings in quantitative terms. The study aims to provide a systematic and objective understanding of the relationship between variables within the context of mental health, self-harm, and sexual orientation in a incarcerated population Hail-Jares et al., (2023). In overall, the study contributes to the understanding of my topic and the complex issues in the prison system..

Scene 6 (2m 52s)

[Audio] This study follows a mixed-methods design by combining quantitative methods for numerical data and qualitative methods for in-dept exploration, providing a more comprehensive understanding of the research question Griffiths et al., (2020). It relates to my topic in terms if their focus on self-harm among women in prison. It contributes valuable information to inform interventions, support systems, and strategies for addressing self-harm in the complex environment of women's prisons..

Scene 7 (3m 30s)

[Audio] Mixed-Methods According to Edward (2014) the research employs a mixed methodology with a feminist participatory action research approach, emphasizing the importance of considering diverse perspectives and experience's related to self-harm in a prison setting Edward (2014). The combination of qualitative and quantitative methods, along with a feminist lens, contributes to a more comprehensive understanding of the complex phenomenon. My topic builds upon the themes explored in the first study by providing a comprehensive examination of self-harm in a women's prison.

Scene 8 (4m 7s)

[Audio] Benefits A comprehensive study on self-harm in prison benefits from a threefold methodological approach. Quantitative methods offer statistical insight into the prevalence, demographics, and potential correlations associated with self-harming behaviors among incarcerated women. Qualitative methods, through interviews and observations, delve into the nuanced lived experiences, and motivations shaping self-harm. While mixed methods designs allow for triangulation, enhancing the overall understanding by corroborating statistical trends with rich qualitative insight..

Scene 9 (4m 45s)

[Audio] Deawbacks Quantitative methods, while providing statistical clarity, may oversimplify complex individual experiences and motivations, reducing them to numerical data. Limitations include potential difficulty in capturing dept and context of self-harm incidents. Qualitative methods may lack generalizability, making it challenging to apply findings universally. Mixed methods, require substantial time and resources, and integration challenges may arise during data analysis and interpretation..

Scene 10 (5m 21s)

[Audio] Rationale Borrill et al (2005): Employed qualitative methodology (interviews) to explore the experiences of women surviving severe self-harm in prison. Benefits include in-dept insight, but drawbacks involve potential lack of generalizability. The researchers likely prioritize dept over broad applicability. Short et al. (2009): Utilized semi-structured interviews (qualitative) to understand prison staff attitudes towards self-harm in women's prisoners. Benefits include nuanced exploration, but drawbacks involve subjectivity. The researcher value subjective insight for comprehensive understanding..

Scene 11 (6m 10s)

[Audio] Rationale Favril et al. (2020): Applied quantitative methodology (systemic review and meta-analysis) to identify risk factors for self-harm in prison. Benefits include systematic analysis, but drawbacks involve oversimplification. Researchers prioritized systematic analysis and objectivity. Hail-Jares et al.(2023): Used quantitative methodology to explore self-harm and suicide attempts among incarcerated LGB individuals. Benefits include an objective understanding, but drawbacks involve potential oversight. Researchers value the systematic exploration of specific relationships..

Scene 12 (6m 58s)

[Audio] Rationale Griffiths et al., (2020): Employed a mixed-methods design to explore the Listener Scheme in women's prison. Benefits include comprehensive insights, but drawbacks involve integration challenges. The researchers appreciate the holistic understanding offered by combining methods. Edward (2014: Employed a mixed-methods approach with feminist's participatory action research to understand self-harm in women's prison. Benefits include inclusivity and dept, but drawbacks involve methodological complexities. Researchers prioritize inclusivity and transformation in understanding self-harm..
