本文是一个批判性的评论，最近的讨论严谨的护理研究。我们认为，从一个调查范式中“借用”评价标准并将其应用于另一个范式是有问题的。我们试图绘制“严谨”领域，并通过纳入哲学解释学指导下的反身性，为现有的关于严谨性和定性研究的争论增加一个维度。我们描述了自反性，并呼吁作家将自反性帐户到他们的研究产品的标志张贴给读者'正在发生什么'，而研究。我们认为，研究人员带来的研究产品，产生的数据，一系列的文献，这种文献的定位，自我定位，和道德的社会政治背景。我们认为，反思性研究的特点是不断自我批评和自我评价，研究产品可以通过政治的位置和定位的形状。我们强调，在创建一个文本（研究产品），这是可取的研究人员是一个熟练的作家。最后，我们主张，如果研究产品是良好的标志张贴，读者将能够轻松地通过参与者和文本的制造者（研究人员）的世界旅行，并决定自己的文本是否可信或似是而非（我们的术语严谨）。
This paper is a critical review of recent discussions of rigour in nursing research. We will argue that 'borrowing' evaluation criteria from one paradigm of inquiry and applying them to another is problematic. We attempt to map the 'rigour' field and add a dimension to the existing debate about rigour and qualitative research through inclusion of reflexivity guided by philosophical hermeneutics. We describe reflexivity and appeal to writers to incorporate a reflexive account into their research product by sign posting to readers 'what is going on' while researching. We contend that researchers bring to the research product, data generated, a range of literature, a positioning of this literature, a positioning of oneself, and moral socio-political contexts. We suggest that reflexive research is characterized by ongoing self-critique and self-appraisal and that the research product can be given shape by the politics of location and positioning. We emphasize that in the creation of a text (the research product) it is desirable that the researcher be a skilled writer. Finally we claim that if the research product is well sign posted, the readers will be able to travel easily through the worlds of the participants and makers of the text (the researchers) and decide for themselves whether the text is believable or plausible (our terms for rigour).
