We aimed to verify doctor's perception of the qualitative research method, via a qualitative study of interviews with questions on the academic profile of doctors and on the methodology. We interviewed 42 professionals, of which 18 had experience with the qualitative method and 24 with the quantitative method. The results showed that knowledge on the qualitative method was virtually nil among "quantitative researchers", who did not value qualitative research, although some of those realized that it would be important to be more accepting in clinical practice. Others only considered the method as subsidiary to quantitative. The majority considered qualitative methods as lacking academic structure, taking too long to conduct empirical studies, and being difficult to publish. All of them criticized the misuse of the method, and the "quantitatives" pointed out the problem of being unable to reproduce. We concluded that widening the use of the qualitative method by doctors requires investment from the beginning of the academic career and participation in qualitative research projects.
我们旨在通过一项定性研究来验证医生对定性研究方法的看法，该研究通过访谈进行，访谈问题涉及医生的学术背景和研究方法。我们采访了42名专业人员，其中18人有定性研究方法的经验，24人有定量研究方法的经验。结果显示，“定量研究人员”对定性研究方法的了解几乎为零，他们不重视定性研究，尽管其中一些人意识到在临床实践中更包容会很重要。其他人仅将该方法视为定量研究的辅助方法。大多数人认为定性研究方法缺乏学术结构，进行实证研究耗时过长，且难以发表。他们都批评了该方法的滥用，“定量研究人员”指出了无法重复研究的问题。我们得出结论，要扩大医生对定性研究方法的使用，需要在学术生涯开始时就进行投入，并参与定性研究项目。
