Qualitative research is an excellent strategy for exploring new areas of study. It is particularly appropriate for the field of gastroenterology nursing, a developing nursing specialty. In this article, the authors provide an introduction to qualitative research through a comparison of quantitative and qualitative perspectives, exploration of qualitative research designs, and discussion of qualitative analysis. Examples of qualitative research are used to illustrate the rich, vivid, and practical information gained using four different mehtodological approaches. Qualitative research topics appropriate for gastroenterology nurse researchers are suggested.
定性研究是探索新研究领域的绝佳策略。它特别适用于胃肠病学护理领域，这是一个不断发展的护理专业。在本文中，作者通过定量和定性观点的比较、定性研究设计的探索以及定性分析的讨论，对定性研究进行了介绍。定性研究的例子被用来阐明使用四种不同方法论方法所获得的丰富、生动且实用的信息。文中还提出了适合胃肠病学护理研究人员的定性研究主题。
