商品簡介
Twelve articles address current doubts about methods of qualitative inquiry in health care by critically examining the methodology from the perspective of evidence and exploring practical ways for clinicians to use qualitative inquiry more effectively. The authors are physicians, nurses, and experts in areas such as anthropology , human ecology, and the sociology of medicine from the US, Canada, and New Zealand. They examine the status of qualitative research as evidence vs. opinion, and explore key issues such as the link between the type of question and the subsequent design and method, implicit assumptions underlying disciplinary agendas for qualitative inquiry, and techniques for verifying a study's validity.
