电话作为一种交流媒介已经有很长的历史了。近年来,电话已成为市场营销和调查研究的合法工具(Barriball等人,1996)。电话访谈正在成为一种越来越流行的定性研究访谈形式(卡尔&沃思2001)。虽然在文献中有关于电话访谈的后勤优势和劣势的讨论,但关于这种形式的访谈是否与定性健康研究兼容,几乎没有争论。许多文献报道这种访谈方法是基于定量或结构化问卷调查风格的研究的幌子下的“定性”研究。因此,问题仍然存在:电话访谈与解释现象学研究相容吗?本文介绍了如何在最近进行的解释现象学研究中使用电话采访,并认为这是一种方法论和经济上有价值的数据收集技术在定性研究。定性研究者不应该完全依赖于面对面的访谈,因为电话访谈可以是一种同样有价值的数据收集方法。
Abstract The telephone has long been used as a medium of communication. In more recent years the telephone has become a legitimate tool in marketing and survey research (Barriball et al. 1996). Telephone interviewing is becoming an increasingly popular form of interview for qualitative research (Carr & Worth 2001). Whilst there have been discussions in the literature on logistical advantages and disadvantages of telephone interviewing, there has been little debate as to whether this form of interview is compatible with qualitative health research. Much of the literature reporting this interview method is based on quantitative or structured questionnaire style research under the guise of ‘qualitative’ research. So the question remains: Is the telephone interview compatible with interpretive phenomenological research? This paper describes how telephone interviewing was used in a recently conducted interpretive phenomenological study, and argues that this is a methodologically and economically valuable data collection technique in qualitative research. Qualitative researchers should not rely exclusively on the face-to-face interview, as the telephone interview can be an equally valuable data collection approach.
