从业人员面临越来越大的压力，必须在尽可能短的时间内证明其有效性。此外，循证实践要求从业人员不仅要考虑最佳研究证据，还要考虑患者的需求和偏好以及他们自己的临床专业知识。鉴于这些需求，标准化的评估工具可能会在各种医疗保健领域的临床实践中变得越来越重要，如护理，社会工作，精神病学，心理学和医学。在这篇文章中，作者使用两个案例研究来说明定性方法如何有助于开发和评价应对当代压力的临床评估工具。她还指出，如果临床仪器的评价不包括定性成分，则评价是不完整的。
Practitioners are under increased pressure to demonstrate effectiveness and to do so in as short a time as possible. In addition, evidence-based practice calls for practitioners to take into consideration not only best research evidence but also the wants and preferences of patients, and their own clinical expertise. In light of these demands, standardized assessment tools are likely to become increasingly central in clinical practice in a variety of health care fields, such as nursing, social work, psychiatry, psychology, and medicine. In this article, the author uses two case studies to show how qualitative methods can contribute to the development and evaluation of clinical assessment tools that are responsive to contemporary pressures. She also shows that evaluations of clinical instruments are incomplete if they do not include a qualitative component.
