焦点小组在护理研究中经常被用作收集定性数据的方法。然而，由于计划或执行不足，结果可能质量差，甚至毫无价值。明确的目标、精心策划的环境和训练有素的人员是焦点小组成功的基石。本文首先介绍了一个良好的焦点小组，然后提供了一些例子，并对效率低下的小组进行了批评。焦点小组可以是强大和有效的，当他们的使用是适当的研究目的，环境是非判断和欢迎，人员是熟练的。(c)2005 Wiley Periodicals，Inc.
Focus groups are used frequently in nursing research as a method for collecting qualitative data. However, due to inadequate Planning or execution, the results can be of poor quality or even worthless. A well-defined purpose, carefully planned environment, and well trained personnel are discussed as the cornerstones to focus group success. This article sets the stage with a description of a well conducted focus group, then provides examples and a critique of less-than-effective groups. Focus groups can be powerful and effective when their use is appropriate to the study purpose, the environment is non-judgmental and welcoming, and the personnel are skilled.
