Recent years have seen a growing recognition of the appropriateness of qualitative methods in family practice. This has been paralleled by an upsurge of interest in focus group discussions as a method. Drawing on the experience of using focus groups with general practice teams as one component of a multi-method study this paper explores emergent orthodoxies regarding the use of focus groups and reviews the contribution which this method can make to research in general practice.
近年来，人们越来越认识到定性方法在家庭医疗中的适用性。与此同时，作为一种方法，焦点小组讨论的兴趣也在激增。本文借鉴在多方法研究中将焦点小组用于全科医疗团队的经验，探讨了关于焦点小组使用的新兴正统观念，并回顾了该方法对全科医疗研究的贡献。
