Application of Qualitative Research Methods in the Study of Adverse Drug Reaction(1)

Abstract

Abstract: Qualitative research Methods, originated from social science, have been used in research on adverse drug reaction(ADR). Different from quantitative research methodology, qualitative research is mainly used to investigate the attitude, recognition, experience and perspectives from health care workers or patients so to have a better understanding of humanity and opinions. This will be significant for understanding of the knowledge and concerns from patients about ADR. The Results from qualitative research can complement the shortage of quantitative research and reflect the ADR in a more comprehensive way so to provide basis for better safe and rationale use of drugs.

Key words: qualitative research, interview, adverse drug reaction(ADR), recognition, attitude, experience
