Mixed Methods Research

Background:

Multifaceted phenomena in nursing require comprehensive research approaches.
Traditional research methods may not fully capture the complexity of nursing phenomena.

Purpose of the Study:

To provide an overview of mixed methods (MM) research designs.
To promote the adoption of MM designs within the Italian nursing research community.

Main Methods:

Overview of common MM designs: convergent parallel, sequential explanatory, exploratory sequential, and embedded designs.
Illustrative research examples provided for each MM design.

Main Results:

MM designs offer a wider understanding of complex phenomena.
Integration of qualitative and quantitative methods enhances assessment of nursing issues.

Conclusions:

Mixed methods research is a valuable approach for nursing.
MM designs can significantly improve clinical practices through integrated data analysis.
