Abstract
Introduction: Knowledge about childbirth and parenting has historically been gained informally from other women, mainly family members, and through practical experience of assisting with childbearing in extended families (Renkert & Nutbeam 2006). Nowadays the family structures have changed, the families are smaller and therefore midwives in Germany and worldwide offer antenatal classes during pregnancy in preparation for motherhood. With qualitative or quantitative research this topic can be explored to improve antenatal classes. The outlined information’s in this assignment about qualitative and quantitative research and the principles and critique of both perspectives will include strengths, limitations and assessment and relates to my final research proposal about antenatal classes.

Nowadays the family structures have changed, the families are smaller and therefore
midwives in Germany and worldwide offer antenatal classes during pregnancy in
preparation for motherhood. With qualitative or quantitative research this topic can be
explored to improve antenatal classes. The outlined information′s in this assignment
about qualitative and quantitative research and the principles and critique of both
perspectives will include strengths, limitations and assessment and relates to my final
research proposal about antenatal classes.
Qualitative research question and critique of underlying perspective
A definition of qualitative research is stated by Sandelowski (2004) that with its
emphasis on the contingencies, subjectivities, discursiveness, and politics of evidence,
qualitative research can make evidence-based practice a truly mindful methodology
for improving the public health. Qualitative research can be used to support and
explain quantitative research in unknown areas or in describing new phenomena
which need to be explored in more breadth (Giacomini et al. 2000). The rationale
underpinning the choice of qualitative methods lie in an exploration of how people
make sense of their social world, in order to provide insights into people′s health-
related behaviour that is not readily accessible through surveys. Bradly et al. (2007)
mentioned that the strength of qualitative perspective is that qualitative inquiry can
