本文对定量研究与定性研究进行了比较,并介绍了一些定性研究的方法,以期对不熟悉定性研究的研究者有所指导。还介绍了方法的严谨性以及使用内容分析的定性数据分析的例子。定性研究方法以整体的方式探索个人在日常世界中构建的复杂现实。定性研究是基于主观的,着眼于人类的现实,而不是具体的现实对象。在进行定性研究时,研究者是研究的一部分,事实上,是研究工具。质的研究者拥抱本体论的假设,多个真理,多个现实,即,人们以不同的方式理解现实,反映了个人的观点。(C)2012年非洲急诊医学联合会。Elsevier B.V.制作和主持。保留所有权利。
In order to provide some guidance for the researcher unfamiliar with qualitative research, this article compares quantitative and qualitative research, and introduces a number of qualitative methods. Aspects of methodological rigor are also presented as well as an example of qualitative data analysis using content analysis. Qualitative research methods explore, in a holistic fashion, the complex reality constructed by individuals in the context of their everyday worlds. Qualitative research is based on the subjective, looking at human realities instead of concrete realities of objects. When conducting a qualitative study the researcher is part of the study and is, in fact, the research instrument. The qualitative researcher embraces the ontological assumption of multiple truths, multiple realities, i.e., persons understand reality in different ways that reflect individual perspectives.
