Zhrnutie	A remote semi-structured interview is a qualitative data collection method in which a researcher conducts a guided, flexible conversation with a participant over a distance-bridging medium — telephone, video conferencing, or voice-over-IP — using a prepared topic guide with open-ended questions while allowing natural conversational elaboration. It combines the structure and comparability of a protocol-driven approach with the depth and flexibility characteristic of qualitative inquiry, delivered without physical co-presence.	The semi-structured interview is a qualitative data-collection method in which the researcher prepares a set of key questions or topic areas in advance but remains free to probe, follow up, and reorder as the conversation evolves. Unlike structured interviews — which fix every question and sequence — or unstructured interviews — which are entirely open — the semi-structured format balances comparability across participants with the flexibility needed to capture the depth and nuance of individual perspectives. It is the most widely used interview format in social science, health, and education research.
