As the USA becomes more diverse, the inclusion of patients from diverse backgrounds in research becomes ever more important to ensuring a complete understanding of the patient experience in primary care. Language and cultural barriers are important areas in which researchers face substantial challenges. Primary care researchers need tools and approaches to include diverse communities in qualitative interviews. Here, we describe one way primary care researchers can apply an adapted, engaged transcription and interpretation method in qualitative research to improve retention of nuance and meaning across language and cultures, specifically with non-English, non-Spanish-speaking resettled refugees. We also discuss how the approach provided additional information that increased the validity of interpretation and analysis and improved the retention of nuance in a qualitative primary care study. The methodological and practical value, scope of application and potential limitations and improvements of this method through future research are addressed.
随着美国变得更加多样化，将来自不同背景的患者纳入研究变得越来越重要，这有助于确保全面了解初级保健中的患者体验。语言和文化障碍是研究人员面临重大挑战的重要领域。初级保健研究人员需要工具和方法来将不同的社区纳入定性访谈中。在这里，我们描述了一种初级保健研究人员可以在定性研究中应用改编的、参与式的转录和解释方法的方式，以改善语言和文化之间细微差别和意义的保留，特别是针对非英语、非西班牙语的重新安置难民。我们还讨论了该方法如何提供额外信息，从而提高解释和分析的有效性，并在定性初级保健研究中保留细微差别。讨论了通过未来研究改进该方法的方法学和实际价值、适用范围以及潜在的限制和改进。
