Abstract
The article emphasizes the importance of qualitative research in nursing, particularly through the lens of understanding the lived experiences of patients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals. It highlights that many skills essential for effective qualitative interviewing, such as active listening and emotional intelligence, are already inherent in experienced nurses' clinical practice. The authors argue that nurses are well-equipped to transition into qualitative research roles, as their training and experience in patient care provide a strong foundation for conducting sensitive interviews. The article advocates for recognizing and supporting nurses as capable qualitative researchers, suggesting that their involvement can enrich healthcare research and improve patient care.
