定性研究在很大程度上依赖于访谈，访谈通常记录在视频和/或音频流中。这个案例研究探讨了Skype作为一种面试工具的使用。我利用我对纤维肌痛患者的生活经验所做的研究。纤维肌痛是一种复杂而有争议的疾病，很难诊断，其症状通常各不相同，而且在性质上极其不可预测。由于研究参与者来自世界各地，显然他们的健康状况不佳，我一直计划进行Skype采访。在这个案例研究中，我不仅概述了使用Skype的好处，还讨论了实际、伦理和方法上的陷阱和关注事项。总而言之，Skype可以是一个非常有用的工具，但需要仔细的规划和研究人员强烈的反身性立场。
Qualitative research heavily relies on interviews, which are commonly recorded in video and/or audio streams. This case study explores the use of Skype as a tool for interviewing. I draw on my research into the lived experience of patients diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Fibromyalgia is a complex and contested condition, is difficult to diagnose, typically varies in its symptoms, and is extremely unpredictable in nature. As research participants come from all over the world and obviously suffer with their health, I had always planned on carrying out Skype interviews. In this case study, I not only outline the benefits of using Skype but also discuss practical, ethical, and methodological pitfalls and concerns. In conclusion, Skype can be a very helpful tool, but requires careful planning and a strong reflexive position on the part of the researcher.
