焦点小组已越来越多地被用作护理研究中的数据收集方法。焦点小组的主要特点是参与者之间积极互动，探讨他们的观点和意见。在这方面，焦点小组不同于其他方法，如德尔菲小组、名义小组、头脑风暴和共识小组，这些方法试图确定参与者之间的共识。与其他数据收集方法相比，可以得出结论，焦点小组的真实的优势不在于简单地探索参与者要说的话，而在于提供对复杂行为和动机来源的见解。本文的目的是提出一个概述焦点小组作为一种研究工具，在护理研究，特别是在护理教育。作者：Jayasekara，R.S.

Focus groups have been increasingly used as a data collection method in nursing research. The key feature of focus groups is the active interaction among participants to explore their views and opinions. In this respect, focus groups are distinct from other methods such as Delphi groups, nominal groups, brainstorming, and consensus panels, which seek to determine a consensus between participants. Compared with other data collection methods, it can be concluded that the real strength of focus groups is not simply in exploring what participants have to say, but in providing insights into the sources of complex behaviors and motivations. The aim of this paper is to present an overview of the focus group as a research tool in nursing research, particularly in nursing education. Cite this article: Jayasekara, R.S. (2012, DECEMBER).
