3.3 Data Collecting Method

Data collection method for qualitative research usually involves direct interaction with individuals on a one to one basis andor direct interaction with individuals in a group setting. Qualitative research data collection methods is need more time, therefore data is collected from a smaller sample. The benefit of the qualitative research is that information is richer and has a deeper insight into the phenomenon under study. Sugiyono 2009: 309 said that in qualitative research, there are some ways in collecting data; interview, observation, and documentary. The main methods which used for collecting data in this analysis are: 1 interviews with those involved in the events, and 2 direct observation of the events or objects. In writing this analysis, the data were collected from direct interview with five schizophrenia paranoid patients. As doctor suggestion in the first observation on 4 th February 2015 in Simeulue Distric Hospital, the Doctor suggested the Nurse to help the writer in interview with schizophrenia patients. It is because schizophrenia patients will be less communicative to the stranger. Therefore, in this analysis the Nurse will be the writer assistant’s in collecting the data. The Nurse helped the writer to communicate with the patient and asked some questions to encourage the patients to speak. The interview began by inviting the patient to talk without interruption about ten minutes, after which a variety of questions were asked, ranging from the abstract to the concrete and the interpersonal to the personal question Andreasen, 1979: 1317. Questions that 42 were asked to the five schizophrenia patients are mostly similar. These questions are very simple and easy including questions about patient identity such as name, address, questions about their personality, what kind of person are they, questions about family and others people that they know, and question about their feeling. The interview between interviewer and patients was recorded by using voice or recorder. Then, writer listened to the recorded conversation carefully, and transcribed the conversation in a script. The script of the conversation between schizophrenia patients and the interviewer is the data in this thesis.

3.4 Data Analysis Method

Mahsun 2005:230 stated that data can be found in two forms: number or also called quantitative data and non-number or also called qualitative data. Quantitative data is usually analyzed by the use of quantitative analysis, while qualitative data can be analyzed by the use of qualitative one. Since the data in this analysis are language or words, in this case, conversation between writer and schizophrenia patients, the writer uses qualitative method to analyze all of the data. Qualitative analysis can be defined as an analysis aimed at recognizing and explaining the phenomena being analyzed. Basically, there are two strategies in qualitative analysis, there are qualitative descriptive analysis and qualitative verificative analysis. In this analysis, the writer uses qualitative descriptive analysis to describe language abnormalities produced by the schizophrenia patients.
