    Qualitative research methods are popular in nursing, but their limitations are often overlooked. This study explores the boundaries of what can be claimed regarding the utility of these valuable qualitative research techniques.

    Area of Science:

    • Nursing Research
    • Qualitative Methodologies

    Background:

    • Qualitative research techniques are increasingly utilized in academic nursing.
    • A substantial body of literature exists for training students in these methods.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To discuss the limitations of qualitative research techniques.
    • To address the under-discussed boundaries of qualitative research utility in nursing.

    Main Methods:

    • This is a research note, not an empirical study.
    • It involves a critical discussion of existing methodological literature.

    Main Results:

    • The utility of qualitative research techniques is often presented without acknowledging their inherent limitations.
    • Claims made about qualitative research findings may be overstated due to a lack of discussion on limitations.
