It is particularly well-suited for exploring topics that are difficult to quantify, such as emotions, beliefs, and perspectives. In clinical and educational settings, qualitative research can be used to gain a deeper understanding of patient and student experiences, evaluate the effectiveness of interventions, and develop new approaches to care and education.
