Qualitative research methods offer useful complements to the traditional epidemiologic approaches most commonly used by primary care researchers. Narrative texts generated through open-ended interviews are one form of qualitative data that may provide useful insights into primary care issues that are otherwise overlooked by more structured designs. This paper presents a step-by-step process for conducting a long interview, a qualitative approach with distinct potential for primary care research. Advantages and limitations of the long interview and its relationship to other qualitative methods are also discussed.
定性研究方法为初级保健研究人员最常用的传统流行病学方法提供了有益的补充。通过开放式访谈生成的叙述性文本是一种定性数据形式，可能会为初级保健问题提供有用的见解，而这些问题在更结构化的设计中可能会被忽视。本文介绍了进行长时间访谈的逐步过程，这是一种对初级保健研究具有独特潜力的定性方法。还讨论了长时间访谈的优点和局限性及其与其他定性方法的关系。
