eviewing of field notes, process notes, and reviewing of proposal notes and personal expectations of the study. 3.8.7 Transferability According to Terre Blanche et al., (2006) transferability refers to whether the findings of this research are transferrable to other contexts. Qualitative research aims at producing conceptual findings that are representative of specific groups or populations within a given context. Participants for this particular research study were purposively sampled from different areas within Durban meaning that, the findings of this research accurately represent the current situation regarding infection control practices in home-based care organizations for PLWHA. The transferability of this study may also be determined through comparisons with available literature on the findings of similar studies (see literature review). Contextual factors should however still be considered if wishing to transfer findings from this study to other studies. 40
4.1 Introduction CHAPTER FOUR PRESENTATION OF RESULTS This chapter presents the findings by first describing the demographic characteristics of the participants. The findings are then presented according to the research questions as the major themes: perceptions of infection control practices by HBCCs/project managers and volunteer caregivers; resources available for infection control practices in HBCOs; how infection control practices were conducted; what challenges were confronted and what strategies were put in place to deal with the challenges regarding infection control practices in HBCOs. 4.2 Demographics characteristics research participants The majority of the participants were female (95%, n=90). The age of the participants ranged between 20-67 years while the working experience ranged between 0.5-16 years these demographic characteristics are depicted in Table 4.2 below. 41
