问题：我们在健康专业教育和药学教育中更定期地看到定性研究方法的使用。通常，“主题分析”一词在研究中使用，随后将其标记为定性研究，但说进行这种类型的分析并不一定等于严格的定性研究。该方法审查将概述如何对定性数据进行严格的主题分析以从数据中汲取解释。方法论文献评论：尽管没有适合所有研究情况的分析指南，但您可以采取一些一般步骤来确保您的一般步骤主题分析是系统的和彻底的。可以通过五个步骤概述了定性数据分析的模型：编译，拆卸，重新组装，解释和结论。我的建议及其应用：提供了九种实用建议，以帮助研究人员实施严格的主题分析。在正确使用定性研究方法中，将提高出版标准。通过将这些严格的标准用于主题分析并使它们在数据过程中明确知道，您的发现将更有价值。
Issue: We are seeing the use of qualitative research methods more regularly in health professions education as well as pharmacy education. Often, the term "thematic analysis" is used in research studies and subsequently labeled as qualitative research, but saying that one did this type of analysis does not necessarily equate with a rigorous qualitative study. This methodology review will outline how to perform rigorous thematic analyses on qualitative data to draw interpretations from the data.Methodological Literature Review: Despite not having an analysis guidebook that fits every research situation, there are general steps that you can take to make sure that your thematic analysis is systematic and thorough. A model of qualitative data analysis can be outlined in five steps: compiling, disassembling, reassembling, interpreting, and concluding.My Recommendations and Their Applications: Nine practical recommendations are provided to help researchers implement rigorous thematic analyses.Potential Impact: As researchers become comfortable in properly using qualitative research methods, the standards for publication will be elevated. By using these rigorous standards for thematic analysis and making them explicitly known in your data process, your findings will be more valuable.
