Abstract | This chapter aims at initiating discussions about how to use qualitative interviewing for Chinese medicine research. Through examining a case of practical application of this approach, it has identified three main challenges arising therefrom, viz., (1) challenge of avoiding cultural bias in sampling; (2) challenge of designing an effective interview, including the questioning techniques and (3) challenge of developing concepts and constructs that are germane to such in-depth interviews. It also provides suggestions for future qualitative study of Chinese medicine with regard to: (1) applying a strategy of comparative research; (2) developing a well-prepared interview protocol and (3) balancing views of Chinese medicine and Western medicine in data analysis. |
