摘要

定性研究中的 "饱和 "概念是一个广受争议的话题。饱和是指数据集不再出现新的数据或主题,这表明数据已被充分挖掘。它被认为是一个重要的概念,因为它有助于确保研究结果的稳健性,并充分发挥数据的潜力以实现研究目的。饱和,或进一步观察数据不会导致发现与研究问题相关的更多信息的点,是定性研究的一个重要方面。然而,围绕饱和这一术语存在着一些神秘化和语义上的争论,人们并不总是清楚需要进行多少轮研究才能达到饱和,也不清楚在专题分析过程中使用什么标准来确定饱和度。本文的重点是在专题分析的背景下如何实现饱和,并开发了一种使用数据证明研究贡献的系统方法。因此,我们引入了一个独特的模型,帮助研究人员在必要时通过完善或扩展现有的引文、代码、主题和概念来达到饱和。

Demystification and Actualisation of Data Saturation in Qualitative Research Through Thematic Analysis
The concept of saturation in qualitative research is a widely debated topic. Saturation refers to the point at which no new data or themes are emerging from the data set, which indicates that the data have been fully explored. It is considered an important concept as it helps to ensure that the findings are robust and that the data are being used to their full potential to achieve the research aim. Saturation, or the point at which further observation of data will not lead to the discovery of more information related to the research questions, is an important aspect of qualitative research. However, there is some mystification and semantic debate surrounding the term saturation, and it is not always clear how many rounds of research are needed to reach saturation or what criteria are used to make that determination during the thematic analysis process. This paper focuses on the actualisation of saturation in the context of thematic analysis and develops a systematic approach to using data to justify the contribution of research. Consequently, we introduce a distinct model to help researchers reach saturation through refining or expanding existing quotations, codes, themes and concepts as necessary.

期刊介绍: ACS Applied Electronic Materials is an interdisciplinary journal publishing original research covering all aspects of electronic materials. The journal is devoted to reports of new and original experimental and theoretical research of an applied nature that integrate knowledge in the areas of materials science, engineering, optics, physics, and chemistry into important applications of electronic materials. Sample research topics that span the journal's scope are inorganic, organic, ionic and polymeric materials with properties that include conducting, semiconducting, superconducting, insulating, dielectric, magnetic, optoelectronic, piezoelectric, ferroelectric and thermoelectric.
