Qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) was developed over 25 years ago to bridge the qualitative and quantitative research gap. Upon searching and the , this review identified 30 original research studies that utilized QCA. Perceptions that QCA is complex and provides few relative advantages over other methods may be limiting QCA adoption. Thus, to overcome these perceptions, this article demonstrates how to perform QCA using data from fifteen institutions that implemented universal tumor screening (UTS) programs to identify patients at high risk for hereditary colorectal cancer. In this example, QCA revealed a combination of conditions unique to effective UTS programs. Results informed additional research and provided a model for improving patient follow-through after a positive screen.
定性比较分析(QCA)是25多年前为弥合定性研究与定量研究之间的差距而开发的。通过检索……,本综述确定了30项使用QCA的原创性研究。认为QCA复杂且相对于其他方法几乎没有相对优势的看法可能限制了QCA的采用。因此,为了克服这些看法,本文展示了如何使用来自15个实施了通用肿瘤筛查(UTS)计划以识别遗传性结直肠癌高危患者的机构的数据来进行QCA。在这个例子中,QCA揭示了有效UTS计划所特有的条件组合。研究结果为进一步的研究提供了信息,并为改善筛查呈阳性后的患者后续跟进提供了一个模型。
