Description
This is an accessible, practical guide to the design, conduct and reporting of mixed method research in nursing or the health sciences
Mixed methods research combines quantitative and qualitative research methods in a single study. The use of mixed methods research is increasingly popular in nursing and health sciences research. This growth in popularity has been driven by the increasing complexity of research problems relating to human health and wellbeing.
Each of the book's chapters stands alone, describing the various steps of the research process, but contains links to other chapters. Within the text, ""real-life"" examples from the published literature, doctoral theses and the unpublished work of the authors, illustrate the concepts being discussed.
