Qualitative methodologies and methods are commonly used in health policy and systems research but have not been extensively characterized. We describe how qualitative approaches are used within the field and present a framework to aid researchers in study planning. To achieve these aims, we conducted a scoping literature review of 1 year of selected health policy and systems research and then coded publications based on their primary analytical foci. Four core themes emerged: policy or program , an analysis of the substance of policies or program documents; policy or program , a study of the landscape of policies or programs; policy or program , a study of the planned or actual execution of a policy or program; and organization or system , a study of the structure or function of health organizations or systems. We provide guidance on utilizing the framework and adhering to qualitative best practices during the process.
定性方法和方法常用于卫生政策和系统研究中，但尚未得到广泛描述。我们描述了定性方法在该领域中的应用，并提出了一个框架，以帮助研究人员进行研究规划。为了实现这些目标，我们对选定的卫生政策和系统研究进行了为期 1 年的范围界定文献综述，然后根据主要分析重点对出版物进行了编码。出现了四个核心主题：政策或计划，对政策或计划文件实质内容的分析；政策或计划，对政策或计划领域的研究；政策或计划，对政策或计划的计划或实际执行情况的研究；以及组织或系统，对卫生组织或系统的结构或功能的研究。我们提供了在使用框架和在整个过程中遵守定性最佳实践方面的指导。
