Dear Editor, We woud like to thank the authors for their interest in the two articles introducing the methodology of qualitative research: “Qualitative Research in Healthcare: Necessity and Characteristics” and “Qualitative Research in Healthcare: Data Analysis” [1,2]. The first article, “Qualitative Research in Healthcare: Necessity and Characteristics,” introduces the characteristics of qualitative research as opposed to quantitative research, and especially emphasizes when qualitative research is useful [1]. The second article, “Qualitative Research in Healthcare: Data Analysis,” presents six representative analysis methods used in qualitative research (consensual qualitative research, phenomenological research, qualitative case study, grounded theory, photovoice, and content analysis), along with methods of reviewing the validity of a study [2]. These 2 articles are meaningful in that they emphasize the necessity of using qualitative research in the healthcare field, where quantitative research is traditionally used as the main research methodology. The authors’ article, “Students’ Positive Coping Strategies from Disaster: A Narrative Analysis,” also utilized a qualitative research methodology. The article looked at the impact of Super Typhoon Odette (internationally known as Rai) on university pISSN 1975-8375 eISSN 2233-4521
