Nurse scholars should unite diverse research methods to advance nursing practice. By integrating various approaches, researchers can explore and validate middle-range concepts for a stronger evidence base.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Science
  • Research Methodology

Background:

  • Ongoing debates exist regarding methodological diversity and appropriate paradigms in nursing scholarship.
  • These discussions often hinder progress in advancing the discipline.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To advocate for nurse researchers to set aside methodological differences.
  • To explore the utility of combining diverse methodologies for explicating middle-range concepts.
  • To advance nursing practice through a unified approach to knowledge discovery.

Main Methods:

  • Discussion of multiple methodological perspectives.
  • Explication of middle-range concepts within the Modeling and Role-Modeling theory and paradigm.
  • Demonstration of combined approaches by each author.
