Abstract

This article discusses a paper by Martin Lipscomb, published in 2012. Martin's paper asks whether the findings in qualitative nursing research can provide evidence robust enough to inform nursing practice. Martin appraises various arguments designed to establish that qualitative studies do provide a basis for action, and concludes that they fail. I provide a commentary on the paper, and then look at more recent attempts to vindicate the use value of qualitative research. I argue that the question 'What requirements must qualitative studies meet if they are to serve as a basis for future action?' has only one persuasive answer. Unfortunately, the relevant requirements are not met by the majority of qualitative studies in nursing.

马丁·利普斯科姆：“质疑定性研究结果的使用价值”（2012）。

本文讨论了Martin Lipscomb在2012年发表的一篇论文。马丁的论文询问定性护理研究的发现是否可以为护理实践提供足够有力的证据。马丁评价了各种旨在确立定性研究确实为行动提供了基础的论点，并得出结论认为它们是失败的。我对这篇论文进行了评论，然后看看最近为证明定性研究的使用价值而进行的更多尝试。我认为“如果定性研究要作为未来行动的基础，它们必须满足什么要求？”只有一个有说服力的答案。遗憾的是，大多数护理定性研究都没有达到相关要求。

期刊介绍： Nursing Philosophy provides a forum for discussion of philosophical issues in nursing. These focus on questions relating to the nature of nursing and to the phenomena of key relevance to it. For example, any understanding of what nursing is presupposes some conception of just what nurses are trying to do when they nurse. But what are the ends of nursing? Are they to promote health, prevent disease, promote well-being, enhance autonomy, relieve suffering, or some combination of these? How are these ends are to be met? What kind of knowledge is needed in order to nurse? Practical, theoretical, aesthetic, moral, political, ''intuitive'' or some other? Papers that explore other aspects of philosophical enquiry and analysis of relevance to nursing (and any other healthcare or social care activity) are also welcome and might include, but not be limited to, critical discussions of the work of nurse theorists who have advanced philosophical claims (e.g., Benner, Benner and Wrubel, Carper, Schrok, Watson, Parse and so on) as well as critical engagement with philosophers (e.g., Heidegger, Husserl, Kuhn, Polanyi, Taylor, MacIntyre and so on) whose work informs health care in general and nursing in particular.
