What are your thoughts?? It has been argued that mixed methods research can be useful in nursing and health science because of the complexity of the phenomena studied. According to Ostlund, Kidd, Wengstrom & Rowa-Dewar (2017), mixed methods research, where quantitative and qualitative methods are combined, is increasingly recognized as valuable, because it can potentially capitalize on the respective strengths of quantitative and qualitative approaches Fawcett (2015) explained that if the assertion that research and practice are parallel processes, then nursing practice may be considered as a form of “invisible mixed methods research,” because almost every encounter between a nurse and a patient involves collection and integration of qualitative (word) and quantitative (number) information that actually forms the basis of care delivery.
