description How robust is qualitative research One argument which is frequently made about the qualitative approach is that the explosion of interest in case studies is somehow inferior to a randomised statistical approach that yields generalisable findings. The use of longitudinal studies is an excellent vehicle for qualitative research – see Purdy’s study of ward nurses (FAM, Vol. 9 No. 1); Parker’s study of a church (FAM, Vol. 19 No. 4); Bruce Gurd’s longitudinal study of a regulated environment (FAM, Vol. 19 No. 1); Janne Jarviren’s longitudinal study of hospital costing (FAM, Vol. 22 No. 1). In a world of evidence-based policy research, qualitative research has its place to play in identifying problems, examining underlying stresses and strains, and offering potential ways forward.
