摘要:中医辨证是一个复杂的思辨过程,仅用定量研究很难使中医证候规范化有突破性进展。引入定性研究,以定性和定量相结合为手段,用扎根理论和内容分析法相结合进行中医证候规范化研究,不仅可以加强古籍文献症状描述规范化、使中医定性数据定量化,还可通过模拟临床思辨方式,制定中医证候诊断标准,为中医证候规范化研究提供方法学探索。

Abstract: TCM syndrome differentiation is a complex process of speculation. It is difficult to make breakthroughs in the standardization of TCM syndromes only by quantitative study. If the qualitative research is introduced, combining qualitative and quantitative methods, using grounded theory and content analysis to conduct TCM syndrome standardized research, it can not only strengthen the standardization of symptom description of ancient books, quantify the qualitative data of TCM, but also establish the diagnostic criteria of TCM syndromes by simulating clinical speculative ways, and provide a methodological exploration for the standardization of TCM syndromes.
Keywords: TCM syndromes; grounded theory; content analysis; standardization of TCM syndromes
辨證是中医学中最富有特色的科学精华。中医证候规范化研究对发展中医理论及提高临床诊治水平具有极其重要的意义。中医证候是一个非线性、多维多阶的复杂巨系统[1]。近年来,研究人员在证候的规范化研究中逐步引入数据挖掘技术、信息科学、系统科学等多种定量研究方法,对于证候的研究起到一定的推动作用。但中医具有深刻哲学、文化背景,无论在辨证过程(四诊收集、思辨过程)中,还是对现存大量文献整理挖掘的研究,仅用定量研究很难完全把中医的优势表现出来。若引入定性研究,如扎根理论和内容分析法等,将定性和定量研究相结合,更有助
