Abstract
|
|
|
|
In this article I examine the six categories that comprise qualitative health research: (1) delineate health, (2) are impediments to health, (3) contribute to understanding illness behavior, (4) explicate experiences of illness, (5) describe the experiences of caregivers, and (6) delineate the context of care (in the home, the institution, the community and community organizations, and during major disasters). Qualitative studies that have been conducted in Asia and published in Qualitative Health Researchthat fit into these categories are then discussed. I conclude that qualitative health research is comprehensive and may be considered a discipline in its own right.
