    Area of Science:

    • Nursing Research Methodology
    • Qualitative Research Methods
    • Mixed Methods Research

    Background:

    • Nursing phenomena are complex, necessitating diverse perspectives for comprehensive understanding.
    • Triangulation offers a methodological approach to capture the richness of human experiences in nursing.
    • Existing literature highlights the need to address challenges in applying triangulation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To delineate the four fundamental types of triangulation applicable to nursing research.
    • To critically examine issues and problems that may compromise study reliability and validity when using triangulation.
    • To review proposed solutions for mitigating threats to reliability and validity in triangulation-based studies.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of triangulation in nursing research.
    • Analysis of different triangulation types (e.g., data, investigator, theory, method).
    • Examination of reliability and validity concerns specific to triangulation.

    Main Results:

    • Identification of four primary types of triangulation.
    • Discussion of potential threats to reliability and validity, such as methodological inconsistencies.
    • Overview of strategies to enhance the rigor of triangulation in research studies.

    Conclusions:

    • Triangulation is a valuable strategy for exploring complex nursing phenomena.
    • Addressing methodological challenges is crucial for maintaining the reliability and validity of triangulation studies.
    • Further research can refine triangulation techniques for robust nursing inquiry.
