The ability to critically appraise literature is an essential skill for clinicians adopting a population perspective. Conventions exist for reporting and evaluating the quality of quantitative and epidemiological research. The same traditions do not exist in qualitative research for a number of reasons including the number of theories under which this type of research can be conducted and the subsequent incompatibility of indicators of quality. This paper presents a 10-point checklist for assessing the quality of qualitative research in clinical epidemiological studies. We aim to provide a framework for critical appraisal as well as offer direction for qualitative researchers in designing and publishing their work.
对于从人群角度出发的临床医生而言，批判性评价文献的能力是一项必不可少的技能。在报告和评估定量研究及流行病学研究的质量方面存在一些惯例。由于包括可开展此类研究的理论数量以及随后质量指标不兼容等多种原因，定性研究中不存在同样的传统。本文提出了一份用于评估临床流行病学研究中定性研究质量的十点清单。我们旨在提供一个批判性评价的框架，并为定性研究人员在设计和发表其研究成果方面提供指导。
