This paper aims to provide an overview of the use and assessment of qualitative research methods in the health sciences. Qualitative research can be defined as the study of the nature of phenomena and is especially appropriate for answering questions of why something is (not) observed, assessing complex multi-component interventions, and focussing on intervention improvement.
The particular approach taken determines to a certain extent the criteria used for judging the quality of the report. However, research using qualitative methods can be evaluated (Dixon-Woods et al., 2006; Young et al., 2014) and there are some generic guidelines for assessing qualitative research (Kitto et al., 2008).

There are three main methods used in qualitative research. The first and most commonly used is interviewing. Semi‐structured interviews contain pre‐set, open‐ended questions, with further questions emerging from the discussion. Unstructured interviews cover a few issues in great depth, for example they can be used for life history narratives.

Qualitative research typically focuses on collecting very detailed information on a few cases and often addresses meaning, rather than objectively identifiable factors. This means that typical markers of research quality for quantitative studies, such as validity and reliability, cannot be used to assess qualitative research.
Qualitative research methods. Each of the research approaches involve using one or more data collection methods.These are some of the most common qualitative methods: Observations: recording what you have seen, heard, or encountered in detailed field notes. Interviews: personally asking people questions in one-on-one conversations. Focus groups: asking questions and generating discussion among ...

evaluations that use qualitative methods. Divided into four parts, this paper begins with the decision to include qualitative methods (or not) in a contemplated project. This first section defines qualitative methods, distinguishes them from quantitative research methods, and outlines the roles qualitative approaches can play in program evaluation.
Abstract. This paper aims to provide an overview of the use and assessment of qualitative research methods in the health sciences. Qualitative research can be defined as the study of the nature of phenomena and is especially appropriate for answering questions of why something is (not) observed, assessing complex multi-component interventions, and focussing on intervention improvement.

The discussion on “choosing the right method” centers on selecting methods appropriate for your research question and provides some examples in the context of health research to help illustrate concepts.

Assessing qualitative research methods can be challenging because the data collected are often subjective and difficult to quantify. However, there are several criteria that can be used to assess ...
This chapter explores how to evaluate the methods and analysis sections of qualitative research reports. Qualitative methods are best suited to exploring topics in-depth and for offering detailed explanations of phenomena. Qualitative inquiry usually seeks to understand social realities, meaning making, social interactions, and connections between the individual, interactional, and structural ...
