Qualitative research in health: a reflective approach - Revista Brasileira de Enfermagem
Revista Brasileira de Enfermagem. 08-19-2019;72(4):830-831
Qualitative research makes possible the development of health knowledge, because it works with complex phenomena whose totality, besides depth, depends on the intensity. For Minayo, the objective of the qualitative research is to make explicit data, indicators, verified trends and/or construct theoretical models applicable to practice. Therefore, its purpose is to study history, representations, relationships, beliefs, perceptions and opinions, representing the result of the interpretations that subjects construct about the production and reproduction of their lives().
Qualitative and quantitative research is diverse in nature, but complements. One treats of the magnitude of the phenomena, and the other of its intensity. One seeks what is repeated, being treated in its homogeneity, and the other, singularities and meanings(). In a reflexive approach, Taquette insists that qualitative research in health develops, but still shy of its potential. At the international level, qualitative research stands out as a producer of knowledge that subsidizes the clinical practice of nurses(). It is appropriate for the understanding of phenomena within their intervention context, establishing connections between concepts, representations, beliefs and behaviors, respecting intersubjectivity. It is also observed how contradictory is the low productivity of studies using the qualitative approach as a method.
