It is used to research individual subjective experience, analyzing consensus and divergence to identify and categorize subjects＇ viewpoints. The sorting process is completely performed by the subjects, independent of study researchers. The Q method in medical research has been applied in many fields, including nursing care, clinical studies, doctor and patient＇s perceptions, health evaluation and decision making. The authors used the Q method to research Chinese medicine （CM） group decision making, exploring its practical feasibility in this important field. Four primary domains are addressed： （1） integration of expert opinion; （2） expert classification; （3） ascertaining the entire viewpoint orientation of a certain type of expert; and （4） comparison of expert opinion using an additional perspective. The essence of the Q method caters to the CM thinking model and should be introduced into CM and explored more deeply.展开更多
