Qualitative research is done by researchers in the social sciences, as well as by practitioners in fields that concern themselves with issues related to human behavior and functioning. These are health professionals who are able to identify a research question and recognize the particular context and situation that will achieve the best answers to it. According to Morse (2012), the qualitative health researcher should be an expert methodologist who has an understanding of illness, the patient's condition, and staff roles and relationships, and who can balance the clinical situation from different perspectives (p. 23). A qualitative researcher also requires theoretical and social sensibility, interactional skills, the ability to maintain analytical distance while drawing upon past experience, and theoretical knowledge to interpret what they observe.
