innovation.

The objectives of the conference are as follows:

philosophical foundations of knowledge for nursing and health professions’ practices using

qualitative researches, (2) how qualitative research situates in mixed method

research/multiple sources of evidence, (3) misuses and abuses of qualitative research

methods, (4) analyses and reporting qualitative research findings, (5) trustworthiness in

1. Presenters should be present at the assigned room 15

minutes before the presentation.

2. Although the concurrent sessions are centered on typical

oral presentations, ICQRNH allows plenty of time for

discussion between all session participants (audience and

presenters), not just a Q&A between the audience and the

presenters.

3. The session chair/facilitator has the major task of keeping

speakers on time (15 minutes to 20 minutes maximum,

unless instructed) and leading the subsequent discussion.

4. The session chairs will be STRICT in the enforcement of the

time limit. If the presenter goes over, he will be cut short.

ICQRNH believes that great ideas and research can be

communicated in short time intervals.

5. After the presentations are finished, a 15-20 minute-Q&A

between the audience and the presenters is allotted.

6. The session chair will be summarizing the results of the

sessions.

7. Some additional recommendations for the presentations
