背景。定性研究探索临床医生、医疗服务提供者、政策制定者和消费者所遇到的复杂现象。尽管有部分清单可用，但对于任何类型的定性设计都没有统一的报告框架。
目的。为定性研究（深度访谈和焦点小组）的明确和全面报告制定一个清单。
方法。我们在考克兰和坎贝尔协议、医学文献数据库（Medline）、护理及相关健康文献累积索引（CINAHL）、定性研究的系统综述、主要医学期刊的作者或审稿人指南以及相关出版物的参考文献列表中对用于评估定性研究的现有清单进行了全面搜索。从22个清单中收集的76个项目被汇编成一个综合清单。所有项目被分为三个领域：（i）研究团队与反思性，（ii）研究设计，（iii）数据分析与报告。重复的项目以及那些模糊、定义过宽和不便于评估的项目被删除。
结果。清单中最常包含的项目涉及抽样方法、数据收集的环境、数据收集的方法、受访者对研究结果的验证、数据记录的方法、主题推导的描述以及支持性引语的纳入。我们将所有项目分为三个领域：（i）研究团队与反思性，（ii）研究设计，（iii）数据分析与报告。
结论。《综合定性研究报告标准》（COREQ）中包含的32项清单标准可以帮助研究人员报告研究团队、研究方法、研究背景、研究结果、分析和解释等重要方面。
Background. Qualitative research explores complex phenomena encountered by clinicians, health care providers, policy makers and consumers. Although partial checklists are available, no consolidated reporting framework exists for any type of qualitative design.Objective. To develop a checklist for explicit and comprehensive reporting of qualitative studies (indepth interviews and focus groups).Methods. We performed a comprehensive search in Cochrane and Campbell Protocols, Medline, CINAHL, systematic reviews of qualitative studies, author or reviewer guidelines of major medical journals and reference lists of relevant publications for existing checklists used to assess qualitative studies. Seventy-six items from 22 checklists were compiled into a comprehensive list. All items were grouped into three domains: (i) research team and reflexivity, (ii) study design and (iii) data analysis and reporting. Duplicate items and those that were ambiguous, too broadly defined and impractical to assess were removed.Results. Items most frequently included in the checklists related to sampling method, setting for data collection, method of data collection, respondent validation of findings, method of recording data, description of the derivation of themes and inclusion of supporting quotations. We grouped all items into three domains: (i) research team and reflexivity, (ii) study design and (iii) data analysis and reporting.Conclusions. The criteria included in COREQ, a 32-item checklist, can help researchers to report important aspects. of the research team, study methods, context of the study, findings, analysis and interpretations.
