This research examines what kind of research methods have been used in the master's level health care education theses in Finland. Methods: 1056 master's theses in health care educations in Finland in 2017-2018 were analyzed with the document analysis and categorized as qualitative, quantitative, literature reviews and other methods. Results: 30% of theses were conducted with qualitative and 12 % with quantitative methods. 6 % were literature reviews while the most were categorized in the other methods (52%). Different surveys were the most widely used method (32%) and interviews (20%) for data gathering among this category but several others, like workshops, Learning Cafes, observations, SWOT analysis, benchmarking, and brainstorms were mentioned. Conclusions: Results could be partially explained with the context of the study, but at the same time they raise a critical question and need for future research. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
