Research decisions are complex, influenced by more than just the research question. A researcher's personal worldview and philosophical paradigm significantly shape methodology choices in studies, such as those in nursing research.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Research
  • Philosophy of Science

Background:

  • Traditionally, research questions dictate methodology.
  • This approach may oversimplify complex decision-making processes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the influence of a researcher's worldview on research design.
  • To explore the link between philosophical paradigms and methodological choices.

Main Methods:

  • Conceptual analysis of research decision-making.
  • Illustration using a case study of community psychiatric nursing.

Main Results:

  • The researcher's worldview and philosophical paradigm are critical factors in selecting research approaches.
  • Decision-making involves moving from underlying philosophy to research design and strategies.

Conclusions:

  • The relationship between research questions, philosophical paradigms, and researcher worldview needs further exploration.
  • Understanding these influences enhances the rigor and transparency of research design.
