Abstract

The allopathic medical approach to research is leaning heavily towards evidence based practice, utilising a quantitative model in order to analyse statistics and measure the potential variables An important initial step in any research is how best to study the research question. The approach chosen is the keystone to the structure in which the research question is answered but should allow for the research question to drive the approach rather than the other way around. Qualitative and quantitative research methods are critically assessed in this paper in order that an understanding is reached on whether individually or joint approaches are the best tools to answer important chiropractic research questions in the future The profession is currently heading quickly into a researched based mode led by its academic institutions. It is hoped that chiropractic has both the maturity and methodology to dictate its own research direction for the benefit of all concerned.

研究范式和策略及其在脊椎指压研究中的作用的批判性回顾
对抗疗法医学的研究方法在很大程度上倾向于基于证据的实践,利用定量模型来分析统计数据和测量潜在的变量。任何研究的重要的第一步是如何最好地研究研究问题。所选择的方法是回答研究问题的结构的基石,但应该允许研究问题驱动方法,而不是相反。本文对定性和定量研究方法进行了严格的评估,以便了解单独或联合方法是否是回答未来重要脊椎指压研究问题的最佳工具。该行业目前正迅速进入由学术机构主导的基于研究的模式。希望脊骨疗法既成熟又有方法学,以确定自己的研究方向,造福各方。
