混合方法研究是否被认为会导致“混合”结果并降低资助和出版的竞争力，从而避免？关于混合方法研究的一个常见误解是它需要混合矛盾或竞争的研究范式。这一概念对如何实施此类研究和解释其研究结果造成了混乱，并引发了对其作为科学方法的有效性的怀疑。从广义上讲，混合方法研究在抽样、数据收集和分析层面结合了定性和定量技术，但可能组合的多功能性和多样性远远大于通常认识到的（Sandelowski，2000）。拥有广泛的研究方法可以促进研究密集型学科的创新和活力。护士调查不同人群的复杂健康问题。满足患有慢性疾病的老年人、身体残疾的儿童以及那些患有无法通过技术轻松解决的综合症的人的需求等等。混合方法研究似乎提供了一个加深我们的见解、锐化我们的思维、开发敏感方法和加速我们进步的机会。
Is mixed method research perceived as leading to “mixed up” results and decreased competitiveness for funding and publication and, therefore, avoided? A common misconception about mixed method research is that it requires a blending of contradictory or competing research paradigms. This notion creates confusion about how to implement this type of research and interpret its findings, and fuels skepticism about its validity as scientific method. Broadly conceived, mixed method research combines qualitative and quantitative techniques at the level of sampling, data collection, and analysis, but the versatility and variety of possible combinations are far greater than is commonly realized (Sandelowski, 2000).Having a wide range of investigative methods promotes innovation in, and the vitality of a research-intensive discipline. Nurses investigate complex health problems in diverse populations. Addressing the needs of elders with chronic illnesses, children with physical disabilities, and those with syndromes that defy an easy fix with technology are to name a few. Mixed method research seems to offer an opportunity to deepen our insights, sharpen our thinking, develop sensitive methods, and accelerate our advances.
