Students and professionals will find a tool that clarifies the conceptual bases, methods, and most common techniques of this research approach. The work is designed to facilitate the application of qualitative research, allowing the reader to identify its characteristics, design studies, understand theoretical frameworks, and master data collection and analysis techniques. An essential resource for those seeking to generate new knowledge in the healthcare field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book develops, in a structured way, the complete process of qualitative research applied to health. It begins by explaining the general characteristics of this approach and its relevance for understanding complex phenomena such as patient experiences, professional practices, or care contexts. Next, it guides the reader in the design of a qualitative study, from the formulation of the research question to the selection of the most appropriate methodological strategy. The main theoretical frameworks that support this type of research are explored, such as phenomenology, grounded theory, or ethnography. Subsequently, the most commonly used qualitative techniques are presented, such as in-depth interviews, focus groups, or participant observation, detailing their applications in the healthcare setting. Finally, the manual addresses the qualitative data analysis process, offering guidelines for coding, categorizing, and interpreting information.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain Topics\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eFoundations and characteristics of qualitative research in health.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eDesigning qualitative research projects.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eTheoretical frameworks: phenomenology, grounded theory, ethnography, and action research.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eData collection techniques: interviews, focus groups, and observation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eAnalysis and interpretation of qualitative data.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at undergraduate and graduate students in nursing, medicine, physiotherapy, psychology, and other health science disciplines.
