文摘This study investigates the integration of Artificial Intelligence(AI)technologies—particularly natural language processing and machine learning—into qualitative research(QR)workflows.Our research demonstrates that AI can streamline data collection,coding,theme identification,and visualization,significantly improving both speed and accuracy compared to traditional manual methods.Notably,our experimental and numerical results provide a comprehensive analysis of AI’s effect on efficiency,accuracy,and usability across various QR tasks.By presenting and discussing studies on some AI&generative AI models,we contribute to the ongoing scholarly discussion on the role of AI in QR exploring its potential benefits,challenges,and limitations.We highlight the growing use of AI-powered qualitative data analysis tools such as ATLAS.ti,Quirkos,and NVivo for automating coding and data interpretation.Our analysis indicates that while AI tools fromleading companies(e.g.,OpenAI’s GPT-4,Google’s T5,Meta’s RoBERTa)can enhance efficiency and depth in QR,code-focused models and general-purpose proprietary language models often do not align with qualitative needs.Additionally,certain proprietary and open-source models(e.g.,DeepSeek,OLMo)are less prevalent in QR due to specialization gaps or adoption lags,whereas task-specific,transparent models,such as BERT for classification,T5 for text generation and summarization,and BLOOM for multilingual analysis,remain preferable for coding and thematic analysis due to their reproducibility and adaptability.We discuss key stages where AI has made a significant impact,including data collection and pre-processing,advanced text and sentiment analysis,simulation and modeling,improved objectivity and consistency.The benefits of integrating AI into QR,along with corresponding adaptations in research methodologies,are also presented.Noteworthy applications and techniques—including The AI Scientist,Carl,AI co-scientist,augmented physics,and explainable AI(XAI)—further illustrate the diverse potential of AI in research and the challenges to academic norms.Despite AI advancements,challenges persist.AI struggles with contextually nuanced data such as sarcasm,tone,and cultural context,and its reliance on training datasets raises ethical concerns regarding privacy,consent,and bias.Ultimately,we advocate for a hybrid approach where AI augments rather than replaces traditional qualitativemethods,anticipating that ongoing AI advancements will enable more sophisticated,collaborative research practices that effectively combine machine capabilities with human expertise.This trend is underpinned and exemplified by applications like AI co-scientist,augmented physics.

文摘The evaluation of academic researchers often relies on quantitative metrics,despite their limitations.This paper examines the qualitative assessment approach used by the French National Center for Scientific Research(CNRS)in Computer Science(Section 6),as presented by a National Committee for Scientific Research(CoNRS)committee president.Rejecting bibliometrics like impact factors,CNRS emphasizes in-depth peer review of research quality,diverse outputs(e.g.,software and datasets),and field-specific considerations.The process,aligned with the San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment(DORA),faces challenges in scalability and subjectivity,addressed through committee diversity and structured deliberation.This work provides insights for institutions seeking fairer,more holistic research evaluation frameworks.
文摘Objectives:At the time of the bombing of the federal building in Oklahoma City,Oklahoma(OKC),it was the deadliest terrorist attack in the United States of America.Available research on this incident,and in general,has been quantitative,using deductive methods.The purpose of the current study was to systematically examine professional disaster response workers’emotions elicited spontaneously and in detail as they were experienced over time after a major disaster.This qualitative study will add to existing knowledge of psychopathology and the psychosocial effects of disasters on professional responders,which have not been explored by prior quantitative studies.Methods:A volunteer sample of 181 rescue and recovery workers for the 1995 bombing of the OKC Murrah Federal Building was interviewed approximately 3 years after the bombing.These responders were asked open-ended questions to elicit undirected responses in their own words.In these interviews,they were prompted to describe their feelings at 3 distinct time points:upon their arrival at the bombing scene(“immediately”),in the first 1 week following the bombing,and currently at the time of the interview(“now”).Results:Data items were coded into the 5 themes:Anticipation,Shock and awe,Negative reactions,Positive reactions,and Emotionally unengaged/unaffected.The emotional themes of the responders mapped into 2 conceptual domains.The first domain is related to common human responses to horrible events such as the bombing.The second domain is related to the professional identities of the disaster responders.Conclusions:Specific aspects of the professional responder roles asserted themselves,shaping their emotional responses distinctly from those of the bomb blast survivors.This study identified both negative and positive emotions,which may help identify risk for or resistance to posttraumatic stress disorder(PTSD).
文摘BACKGROUND Older patients often experience thirst after general anesthesia for gastrointestinal surgery,particularly during the post-anesthesia care unit(PACU)phase.Thirst not only compromises patient comfort but also induces anxiety,which may hinder recovery.Although previous studies have addressed postoperative thirst,research specifically examining thirst experiences and nursing needs in older patients remains limited.AIM To explore thirst experiences and nursing needs of older PACU patients following gastrointestinal surgery,aiming to inform targeted interventions.METHODS This study employed a phenomenological approach within a qualitative research framework.A purposeful sampling method was used to select 12 older patients who underwent gastrointestinal surgery under general anesthesia at a tertiary hospital in Shanghai between November and December 2024.Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed using Colaizzi’s seven-step method.Themes were extracted from the interview data.RESULTS Analysis of the interview data identified four main themes and eight subthemes:(1)Intense sensations of thirst post-surgery(subjective experience of thirst and duration of thirst);(2)Emotional experiences of thirst-related discomfort(anxiety,irritability,and helplessness);(3)Practical challenges in relieving thirst(limitations of current interventions and nursing response time);and(4)Patient expectations of nursing care(desire for more timely interventions and expectation for more proactive attention from nursing staff).CONCLUSION Older patients frequently experience substantial thirst discomfort after gastrointestinal surgery under general anesthesia.A multidisciplinary perioperative intervention plan is essential to alleviate these symptoms and enhance postoperative comfort.
