目的:本方法专栏描述了现有的定性研究报告标准,它们在健康设计研究中的应用,以及实施中的挑战。本文面向研究者和实践者,在报道和评估高质量的定性研究方面提供了多个视角。背景:报告定性研究有两个流行的报告标准--报告定性研究综合标准(COREQ)和报告定性研究标准(SRQR)。尽管它们使用类似的程序进行编译,但它们的标准和适用的方法不同。由于与定量研究相比,定性研究具有不确定和波动的性质,因此制定和应用报告标准本身就很困难。结论:定性研究是广泛的,偶尔也有争议,涉及许多不同的调查方法和认识论方法。报告定性研究的“一刀切”标准可能具有限制性,但COREQ和SRQR都是制定负责任的定性研究建议、有效沟通研究决定和评估提交材料的宝贵工具。最终,为健康设计研究及其经常使用的方法量身定做一套标准将确保研究的质量,并帮助审查者进行评估。
Objective: This Methods column describes the existing reporting standards for qualitative research, their application to health design research, and the challenges to implementation. Intended for both researchers and practitioners, this article provides multiple perspectives on both reporting and evaluating high-quality qualitative research. Background: Two popular reporting standards exist for reporting qualitative research-the Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Research (COREQ) and the Standards for Reporting Qualitative Research (SRQR). Though compiled using similar procedures, they differ in their criteria and the methods to which they apply. Creating and applying reporting criteria is inherently difficult due to the undefined and fluctuating nature of qualitative research when compared to quantitative studies. Conclusions: Qualitative research is expansive and occasionally controversial, spanning many different methods of inquiry and epistemological approaches. A "one-size-fits-all" standard for reporting qualitative research can be restrictive, but COREQ and SRQR both serve as valuable tools for developing responsible qualitative research proposals, effectively communicating research decisions, and evaluating submissions. Ultimately, tailoring a set of standards specific to health design research and its frequently used methods would ensure quality research and aid reviewers in their evaluations.
