Abstract:
This article provides an overview of
qualitative research, focusing on key
methods and approaches that would
be useful for conducting exploratory
investigations into service delivery and
organisation in health and social care.
We start with a discussion of the
rationale for conducting qualitative
research in health and social care, and
proceed to cover two data collection
methods most used in qualitative
studies: interviews and focus groups.
In addition to providing practical tips
on how to collect data using these two
methods, the discussion will centre on
the theoretical and practical
considerations that need to be taken
into account when choosing between
qualitative methods and approaches
for one’s research project. Several
qualitative research studies in health
and social care will be discussed as
examples to illustrate how such
approaches contribute to our
understanding on issues relevant to
health and social care professionals in
both policy and practice.
