质性研究关注社会世界，并提供从经历健康现象的人的角度研究这些现象的工具。确定问题、形成问题以及选择合适的方法和设计是研究人员在任何研究项目的早期阶段都会遇到的一些最初的挑战。这些问题在新手当中尤为常见。
本文描述了在健康领域使用质性探究的实际挑战，以及基于作为质性研究人员的专业经验和现有文献进行解释性研究的挑战。
讨论的主要主题之一是质性研究的性质、其固有的挑战以及如何克服这些挑战。这里强调的一些内容包括：研究问题的确定、研究问题/目标的形成以及选择合适的方法和研究设计，这些是质性研究人员主要关注的问题，需要妥善处理。在健康领域进行质性研究的现实生活经验的见解揭示了这些问题。
本文就一位研究人员在健康领域进行纯质性研究的经历提供了个人评论。它深入探讨了进行质性研究时遇到的实际困难，并提供了这些作者所采用的解决方案和替代方法，可能对其他人有用。
Qualitative research focuses on social world and provides the tools to study health phenomena from the perspective of those experiencing them. Identifying the problem, forming the question, and selecting an appropriate methodology and design are some of the initial challenges that researchers encounter in the early stages of any research project. These problems are particularly common for novices. This article describes the practical challenges of using qualitative inquiry in the field of health and the challenges of performing an interpretive research based on professional experience as a qualitative researcher and on available literature. One of the main topics discussed is the nature of qualitative research, its inherent challenges, and how to overcome them. Some of those highlighted here include: identification of the research problem, formation of the research question/aim, and selecting an appropriate methodology and research design, which are the main concerns of qualitative researchers and need to be handled properly. Insights from real-life experiences in conducting qualitative research in health reveal these issues. The paper provides personal comments on the experiences of a researcher in conducting pure qualitative research in the field of health. It offers insights into the practical difficulties encountered when performing qualitative studies and offers solutions and alternatives applied by these authors, which may be of use to others.
