本文为越来越多的关于方法和技术的文献做出了贡献，这些方法和技术可用于帮助确保跨文化研究的文化完整性和严谨性。借鉴我们在不丹开展一项调查患者安全问题的研究时的经验，我们将反思该研究是如何围绕不丹传统文化价值观的元素进行概念化和构建的；研究人员的定位如何；以及跨文化观念、表达、语言和态度如何影响实地考察过程。预计本文中描述的方法将帮助定性研究人员了解认识并响应特定研究环境的文化和语言细微差别以实现文化完整性的重要性。
This article contributes to the growing body of literature on the methods and techniques that might be used to help ensure the cultural integrity and rigor of research that has a cross-cultural dimension. Drawing upon our experiences while conducting a study investigating patient safety concerns in Bhutan, we will reflect on how the study was conceptualized and framed around the elements of the Bhutanese traditional cultural values; how the researchers were positioned; and how the intercultural perceptions, representations, languages, and attitudes influenced the fieldwork processes. It is anticipated that the approach described in this article will help qualitative researchers to understand how important it is to recognize and be responsive to the cultural and linguistic nuances of given research settings to achieve cultural integrity.
