agrh - i am finding it very difficult to structure a chapter. Ive spoken to teh supervisors and they tell me to do it chronologically... but i am going insane. Ok basically its my results section. I have conducted two pilot surveys, both have had significant changes due to the commetns and the data recieved from the pervious. But the results are still valid becuase i need to justify why questions have changed. Basically i am finding it difficult to sort this chapter. Would it be Chapter x: questionnaire 1 - questions changed and analysis of data then questionnaire 2 - questions changed and analysis of data.
If the questionnaires have the questions that are unchanged would it be possible to collate teh two for a combined set of results.
I am really sorry if this is unclear or sounds really bad but i am at my wits end and its driving me insane. Again appologies and sorry.

I had a similar issue in that I developed a lab assay, used it on one clinical study, modified it, used it for another clinical study, modified it again, used it for a 3rd clinical study. I wrote this up (Methods chapter) chronologically. Wouldn't you describe your questionnaire design in your methods chapter (questionnaire 1, subsequent development, questionnaire 2) and just have the questionnaire results in the results chapter?

NB I'm a quantitative researcher and have never dabbled with qualitative questionnaire type data so you might not want to listen to me on this one

Thank you so much. I felt like ive been going insane. As i just want the reader to understand what I am on about. I can also imagine the reader getting bored of the numerous changes etc. But it all counts do the development of the tool i guess. Thanks.

Yes, I think it's important to show that you have responded to the results of your pilot and improved your questionnaire accordingly. This will be interesting stuff to an examiner wanting to see how thorough your methodology was so do make the most of a chance to demonstrate this, good luck!
