Qualitative. Qualitative methods are research methods aiming at a detailed description of processes and views that are therefore used with small numbers of cases in the data collection (Flick, 2011). The study was a qualitative study that focused on the nurses‟ experiences that work in nursing homes and residential care facilities in a small town in western Norway. The qualitative method was selected instead of quantitative methods because it allows collection of in depth descriptive data. Quantitative research methods aim at covering the phenomena under study in their frequencies and distribution and thus works with large numbers in the data collection (Flick, 2011).
