Introduction
Considering about the qualitative studies, there is a need to focus on interaction that is set
in between the researchers and the participants mainly. This is considered to be a major ethical
challenges and it involves the different studies as well. The formulation is based on focusing
over the specific guidelines and the aim is to discuss about the development and conducting
qualitative studies that are needed for the role of researchers. The purpose includes the literature
review which needs to be carried out with all the necessary skills and the stringent supervision. It
can help in extracting a better and reliable information that is set from the qualitative studies.
The important issue which concerns privacy is about the research participants and how these
people are able to handle privacy. There is a need to consider about interactions that are seen in
between the researchers and the people who are participating which could be majorly
challenging. The formulations are based on handling the ethical guidelines and planning about
the development through explicitly handling the conducting of different qualitative studies. The
researchers tend to face different challenges which are relevant to the anonymity, confidentiality
and the consents that are focusing on potential impact. (Denzin & Giardina, 2016). This would
also include the private and individually identifiable information which should be handled by the
investigators mainly.
Discussion on Actions that can be taken by researchers
With privacy and confidentiality, the confidentiality is considered to be important in
research. The privacy is assured with proper procedures of consent and maintaining
confidentiality of data takes more effort. Hence, the information needs to be gathered with
individuals handling the disclosure in relationship of trust. The easy way to protect the
confidentiality is to collect the anonymous data (Hashem et al., 2015). Here, the data is not
