越来越多的关注复杂性知情的方法跨卫生学科。这种关注有几种形式，但通常涉及将研究主题框定为“复杂”，以证明使用特定方法的合理性（例如，定性）。很少有人强调学术界如何通过谈判达成认识复杂性的分歧和趋同方式。从一个国际研讨会的重点民族志的研究结果，我们说明了健康研究人员如何采用“边界排序设备”来导航不同的含义归因于复杂性，而他们试图维持跨学科的沟通和合作。这些方法包括：（a）将知识主张的哲学基础与实际购买需求之间的紧张关系浮出水面（但不能解决）;（B）采用表现和抽象的技术;（c）利用流动的、持续的复杂性成果，满足不同的受众和目的。我们的研究结果对复杂性健康研究的进展有影响，特别是在定性方法方面。
There is increasing focus on complexity-informed approaches across health disciplines. This attention takes several forms, but commonly involves framing research topics as “complex” to justify use of particular methods (e.g., qualitative). Little emphasis is placed on how divergent and convergent ways of knowing complexity become negotiated within academic communities. Drawing on findings from a focused ethnography of an international workshop, we illustrate how health researchers employ “boundary-ordering devices” to navigate different meanings ascribed to complexity while they attempt to sustain interdisciplinary communication and collaboration. These include (a) surfacing (but not resolving) tensions between philosophical grounding of knowledge claims and need for practical purchase, (b) employing techniques of representation and abstraction, and (c) drawing on the fluid, ongoing accomplishment of complexity for different audiences and purposes. Our findings have implications for progressing complexity-informed health research, particularly with respect to qualitative approaches.
