使用非结构化访谈的定性研究经常由机构审查委员会根据为生物医学研究制定的标准进行审查。与生物医学研究不同，非结构化的互动访谈为参与者提供了对访谈过程的相当大的控制权，从而创造了不同的风险概况。这篇文章检查面谈过程和文献的证据的好处和危害。尽管有证据表明定性访谈可能会导致一些情绪困扰，但没有迹象表明这种困扰比日常生活中更严重，也没有迹象表明需要后续咨询，尽管作者承认困扰总是有可能的。防止参与者痛苦的关键是研究人员的采访技巧和道德准则。当研究以敏感和道德为指导进行时，它就会成为一个对参与者和研究人员都有利的过程。作者得出结论，使用非结构化访谈的定性研究不会比日常生活带来更大的风险，而且快速审查就足够了。
Qualitative research using unstructured interviews is frequently reviewed by institutional review boards using criteria developed for biomedical research. Unlike biomedical studies, unstructured interactive interviews provide participants considerable control over the interview process, thereby creating a different risk profile. This article examines the interview process and literature for evidence of benefit and harm. Although there is evidence that qualitative interviews may cause some emotional distress, there is no indication that this distress is any greater than in everyday life or that it requires follow-up counseling, although the authors acknowledge distress is always a possibility. Essential to preventing participant distress is the researcher's interviewing skills and a code of ethics. When research is conducted with sensitivity and guided by ethics, it becomes a process with benefits to both participants and researchers. The authors conclude that qualitative research using unstructured interviews poses no greater risk than everyday life and expedited reviews are sufficient.
