    This study advocates for combining qualitative and quantitative research methods in clinical nursing. Methodological pluralism offers a more comprehensive understanding of complex clinical phenomena.

    Area of Science:

    • Nursing Research
    • Clinical Science
    • Methodology

    Background:

    • Current clinical nursing research often relies on either quantitative or qualitative methods exclusively.
    • Each approach has inherent strengths and limitations in capturing the complexity of clinical phenomena.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To explore the benefits of integrating qualitative and quantitative research methods in clinical nursing.
    • To present a rationale for methodological pluralism in understanding clinical phenomena.

    Main Methods:

    • Discussion of current quantitative and qualitative research paradigms in clinical settings.
    • Analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of each methodological approach.
    • Presentation of a case for methodological pluralism.

    Main Results:

    • Exclusive reliance on either quantitative or qualitative methods provides an incomplete understanding of clinical phenomena.
    • Integrating both approaches offers a more robust and nuanced perspective.

    Conclusions:

    • Methodological pluralism, or the combination of qualitative and quantitative methods, is essential for advancing clinical nursing research.
    • A blended approach enhances the depth and breadth of understanding complex clinical issues.
