Secondary analysis of qualitative data is a valid mode of clinical inquiry. However, there is limited information available on its use in nursing. This article describes the use of secondary analysis for a study of family caregivers of relatives with dementia. The advantages, limitations, and application of secondary analysis are outlined; data management, analysis, and rigor are also discussed. The article concludes that this method is cost-effective, decreases respondent burden, and is a useful research method for students. However, the secondary analyst must be aware of the limitations of using secondary analysis of qualitative data.
定性数据的二次分析是一种有效的临床探究方式。然而，关于其在护理领域的应用，现有信息有限。本文描述了如何将二次分析用于一项针对痴呆症亲属家庭照料者的研究。文中概述了二次分析的优点、局限性及应用；还讨论了数据管理、分析和严谨性。文章得出结论，这种方法具有成本效益，减轻了受访者负担，对学生而言是一种有用的研究方法。然而，二次分析者必须意识到使用定性数据进行二次分析的局限性。
