Using the same data as our first report, we tried to elucidate the recognitions of female faculty to the study types of nursing research.

We asked whether five items, 1) sampling method, 2) data collection method, 3) data arrangement method, 4) data analysis, and 5) conclusion, are scientific in both of qualitative and quantitative studies. The positive response rates about qualitative study were lower than those of quantitative study in all of the above five items.

By the analyses of the above items with the order of status and the degree obtained, we found that the positive response rates about the five items increased in ascending order of status and the degree respectively with regard to both of qualitative and quantitative studies.
