The purpose of the study is to discuss accurate and effective data collection for
qualitative studies. The analysis of the written documents for the study was carried
out via the descriptive analysis approach. Many documents reviewed, checked for
authenticity, arranged, and organized by field experts can be a source of data, and
using these documents can enhance the reliability and validity of qualitative studies.
It is considered in qualitative studies that the researcher must constantly keep in
touch with the study group to gather correct and effective data, choose the most
appropriate time for the group in every respect, and determine the data collection
tools in line with the participants’ interests and opinions. In addition, it is known that
the participants must be encouraged to express their real opinions easily, that they
must feel comfortable and safe during the study process and in the study
environment, and that recording devices can sometimes be intimidating. If
qualitative data is considered to be obtained from documents, the priority must be
given to first-hand documents that are relevant to and necessary for the problem
addressed.
