Learn all the methods in Qualitative Research in Health Sciences in just a few weeks”

Qualitative Research in Health Sciences is based on what people and communities feel, perceive and the meaning they give to health process and disease. Researchers, who must abstract themselves from their own beliefs, perspectives and predispositions, seek to understand people in their context, ascertaining what they feel in order to understand their vision of things. Therefore, the objective of Qualitative Research is not to measure the extent of phenomena, but the description of realities for the individual and the community, through the use of the inductive method. The object of research is thus the perceptions, feelings and opinions of the subjects of the study. 

This type of research does not require scripted questions or predefined units of meaning, because its objective is not to look for them, but to find them. That is why this methodology is ideal for discovering seldom studied problems for which there is little knowledge.  

If nursing as a science focused on biopsychosocial individuals intends to generate its own knowledge through research and build its reality from its own perspective, it is essential to use a type of research whose vision allows for a more effective approach to understand and explain the subjects or objects of interest.
