尽管文献中多次提及研究疲劳和过度研究，但这些概念尚未在定性背景下进行实证研究。因此，本文旨在探讨研究人员如何理解和解释研究疲劳和过度研究。利用基础分析产生的结果，识别并讨论了许多前体。其中包括缺乏可归因于参与的明显变化、对参与的冷漠和漠不关心以及成本、时间和组织等实际原因。有人建议，当挑战研究参与的机制增加而支持机制减少时，可能会出现明显的研究疲劳。此外，在重复参与不会带来任何变化或参与与研究小组的主要目标和利益发生冲突的情况下，可能会报告过度研究的说法。
Despite a number of references to research fatigue and over-researching in the literature, the concepts have yet to be empirically investigated within qualitative contexts. This article, therefore, seeks to explore how researchers understand and account for research fatigue and over-researching. Using the results generated from a grounded analysis, a number of precursors are identified and discussed. These include lack of perceptible change attributable to engagement, increasing apathy and indifference toward engagement, and practical causes such as cost, time, and organization. It is suggested that marked levels of research fatigue are likely to occur where the mechanisms that challenge research engagement increase and the supporting mechanisms decrease. Furthermore, claims of over-researching are likely to be reported in contexts where repeated engagements do not lead to any experience of change or where the engagement comes into conflict with the primary aims and interests of the research group.
