Scope
Qualitative Research in Medicine & Healthcare is a peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary and international forum for qualitative research in healthcare settings. The journal is conceived as a site for dialog between researchers, academics, and healthcare practitioners; it allows an exchange between multiple parties in the health and social service professions, patients, and clients as well as senior and junior researchers who believe in the ethos of qualitative approaches.
Qualitative research is reflexive. It takes into account that the empirical insights and theoretical propositions it produces are ontologically consequential for all those involved in the research process. This journal publishes research that use many methods of data collection and numerous approaches to data analysis, ranging from systematic coding to mostly inductive, phenomenological, and narrative approaches. Submissions can be either theoretical, empirical, or present state of the art reviews of important subject matter in the field, but they have to advance scholarly knowledge and contribute to research practice in an original way.
Each issue of Qualitative Research in Medicine and Healthcare provides readers with peer-reviewed articles that examine:
The illness experience from multiple and varied perspectives;
Constructions of health, illness, and healthcare that highlight relational and global contexts;
Healthcare policies in various organizational and institutional settings;
The pressures of neoliberalism on healthcare;
Attention to the communicative dynamics of the patient-provider relationship;
Narrative approaches to health.
