尽管关于可信度的争论仍在继续，而且与其他方法相比有报道的局限性，但案例研究在定性研究人员中越来越受欢迎。我们批判性地分析了已发表的案例研究的方法论描述。检索3种高影响力的定性方法期刊，查找过去5年发表的案例研究；选择34种进行分析。文章被归类为卫生和卫生服务(n=12)、社会科学和人类学(n=7)或方法(n=15)个案研究。使用已建立的标准的改编版本对这些文章进行审查，以确定是否存在充分的方法学合理性，以及研究目的、方法和报告的结果是否与定性病例研究方法一致。研究结果分为五个主题，概述了关键的方法论问题：案例研究方法或方法、特定情况的案例和案例选择、有背景的案例研究、研究人员与案例的互动和三角测量、研究设计与报告的方法不一致。改进定性研究人员对案例研究的报告将促进方法学的发展，使研究人员和从业者受益。
Despite on-going debate about credibility, and reported limitations in comparison to other approaches, case study is an increasingly popular approach among qualitative researchers. We critically analysed the methodological descriptions of published case studies. Three high-impact qualitative methods journals were searched to locate case studies published in the past 5 years; 34 were selected for analysis. Articles were categorized as health and health services (n=12), social sciences and anthropology (n=7), or methods (n=15) case studies. The articles were reviewed using an adapted version of established criteria to determine whether adequate methodological justification was present, and if study aims, methods, and reported findings were consistent with a qualitative case study approach. Findings were grouped into five themes outlining key methodological issues: case study methodology or method, case of something particular and case selection, contextually bound case study, researcher and case interactions and triangulation, and study design inconsistent with methodology reported. Improved reporting of case studies by qualitative researchers will advance the methodology for the benefit of researchers and practitioners.
