A comparison between findings from the DREEM questionnaire and that from qualitative interviews
Medical Teacher, 10/20/09

Denz–Penhey H et al. – When the Dundee Ready Education Environment Measurement (DREEM) study was undertaken in the Rural Clinical School of Western Australia there was no real expectation that it would provide sufficient information to identify issues picked up in the extensive and time consuming qualitative study. About half of the work undertaken by the qualitative evaluation, that of the experiences of the students at the site, was picked up by the DREEM questionnaire in a much shorter time frame and at less cost of staff time and resources. The DREEM questionnaire can be used qualitatively to assess very specific issues relating to each of the subscales. These findings extend the use of DREEM from quantitative and statistically significant research to qualitative meaning–filled interpretations. The issues then need to be addressed sensitively.
