目的：在这篇方法学文章中，作者解决了他们所回顾的定性研究中主题不发达的问题。分析了主题不发达的各种可能原因，并提出了建议。组织结构：探讨每个问题领域，并提供文献支持。所提供的建议也得到了文献的支持。研究发现：某些文章主题不发达的问题与3个相互关联的问题有关：(a)与基本研究方法缺乏明确的关系，(b)明显缺乏采访技术的深度，(c)缺乏分析的深度。在定性研究中，不发达的主题可能导致缺乏对实践、研究和护理专业有意义的实质性发现，以及拒绝发表文章。充分发展的主题需要关于定性研究范式的知识，提出的方法，有效的访谈技术，可以通过例子和经验产生丰富的数据，以及超越参与者所说的肤浅报告的分析。分析性问题领域包括过早关闭，对如何分析的焦虑，以及对类别和主题的困惑。结论：有效的定性研究需要时间和精力，并不像有时想象的那么容易。研究结果的有用性取决于研究人员提高他们的研究技能和实践。对实践的影响：越来越多的研究人员正在使用定性研究来探索临床重要问题。作为研究的消费者或研究团队的成员，临床护理专家需要了解这项研究的本质，这可以提供深入的见解和意义。
Purpose:In this methodological article, the authors address the problem of underdeveloped themes in qualitative studies they have reviewed. Various possible reasons for underdeveloped themes are examined, and suggestions offered.Organizing Construct:Each problem area is explored, and literature support is provided. The suggestions that are offered are supported by the literature as well.Findings:The problem with underdeveloped themes in certain articles is related to 3 interconnected issues: (a) lack of clear relationship to the underlying research method, (b) an apparent lack of depth in interviewing techniques, and (c) lack of depth in the analysis. Underdeveloped themes in a qualitative study can lead to a lack of substantive findings that have meaningful implications for practice, research, and the nursing profession, as well as the rejection of articles for publication. Fully developed themes require knowledge about the paradigm of qualitative research, the methodology that is proposed, the effective techniques of interviewing that can produce rich data with examples and experiences, and analysis that goes beyond superficial reporting of what the participants have said. Analytic problem areas include premature closure, anxiety about how to analyze, and confusion about categories and themes.Conclusions:Effective qualitative research takes time and effort and is not as easy as is sometimes presumed. The usefulness of findings depends on researchers improving their research skills and practices.Implications for Practice:Increasingly researchers are using qualitative research to explore clinically important issues. As consumers of research or members of a research team, clinical nurse specialists need to understand the nature of this research that can provide in-depth insight and meaning.
