Evidence-Based Practice / Unit 7   EBP 0920 short lesson, about 20 seconds

Saturation

Captions available

The idea

Saturation is the point at which new data stop adding to the categories — the completeness that theoretical sampling works toward.

In practice

Interviews continuing until further ones produce nothing new.

Where people slip

Saturation is claimed more often than it is demonstrated. Appraisal asks how the study knew it had arrived.
