Qualitative research methods are a robust tool for chaplaincy research questions. Similar to much of chaplaincy clinical care, qualitative research generally works with written texts, often transcriptions of individual interviews or focus group conversations and seeks to understand the meaning of experience in a study sample. This article describes three common methodologies: ethnography, grounded theory, and phenomenology. Issues to consider relating to the study sample, design, and analysis are discussed. Enhancing the validity of the data, as well reliability and ethical issues in qualitative research are described. Qualitative research is an accessible way for chaplains to contribute new knowledge about the sacred dimension of people's lived experience.
定性研究方法是解决宗教信仰研究问题的有力工具。与许多宗教信仰临床关怀工作类似，定性研究通常处理书面文本，这些文本往往是个人访谈或焦点小组对话的文字记录，并试图理解研究样本中经验的意义。本文介绍了三种常见的方法：民族志、扎根理论和现象学。文中还讨论了与研究样本、设计和分析相关的需要考虑的问题。阐述了提高定性研究数据的有效性以及可靠性和伦理问题。定性研究是宗教信仰人士贡献有关人们生活经历神圣维度新知识的一种可行方式。
