Qualitative research is a way of describing an event in its context and is useful for investigating complex, new or relatively unexplored areas. A central tenet of the qualitative approach is that researchers cannot be truly neutral or detached from data generation and analysis. Qualitative research values the experience of the research participant and can offer valuable insight into the settings and situations in which nurses work.
定性研究是一种在其背景下描述事件的方法，对于调查复杂、新颖或相对未被探索的领域很有用。定性方法的一个核心原则是，研究人员在数据生成和分析过程中不可能真正保持中立或置身事外。定性研究重视研究参与者的经验，并能为护士工作的环境和情况提供有价值的见解。
