In the interest of publicizing examples of funded qualitative health research, the authors share a proposal to the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality in Washington, D.C., in which they sought to elicit patient stories of preventable problems in their primary health care that were associated with psychological or physical harms. These stories would allow for the construction of a tentative typology of errors and harms as experienced by patients and the contrasting of this with errors and harms reported by primary care physicians in the United States and other countries. The authors make explicit the anticipated concerns of reviewers more accustomed to quantitative research proposals and the arguments and strategies employed to address them.
为了宣传获得资助的定性健康研究实例，作者们向华盛顿特区的医疗保健研究与质量局提交了一份提案，他们试图收集患者在初级医疗保健中遭遇的可预防问题的故事，这些问题与心理或身体伤害有关。这些故事将有助于构建患者所经历的错误和伤害的初步类型，并将其与美国和其他国家初级保健医生报告的错误和伤害进行对比。作者明确阐述了更习惯定量研究提案的评审人员可能会有的预期担忧，以及为解决这些担忧所采用的论据和策略。
