有人认为，由于所研究现象的复杂性，混合方法研究在护理和健康科学中可能有用。然而，定性和定量方法的整合仍然是备受争议的问题之一，需要一个严格的框架来设计和解释混合方法研究。本文探讨了医疗保健领域混合方法研究中使用的分析方法（即并行、并发或顺序），并举例说明了使用三角测量作为方法隐喻，从此类分析的定性和定量结果中得出推论。本文献综述使用系统原则在 CINAHL、Medline 和 PsycINFO 中检索医疗保健研究，这些研究采用混合方法，并于 1999 年 1 月至 2009 年 9 月期间以英文发表。结果中总共纳入了 168 项研究。大多数研究起源于美国 (USA)、英国 (UK) 和加拿大。最广泛使用的分析方法是并行数据分析。许多研究使用序贯数据分析；采用并行数据分析的研究要少得多。这些研究很少清楚地阐明使用混合方法设计的目的。举例说明了三角测量方法论隐喻对混合方法研究的收敛、互补和发散结果的使用，并提供了从此类数据发展理论的示例。本综述中的研究已经确定了在混合方法医疗保健研究中对定量和定性数据进行并行数据分析的趋势。使用三角测量作为方法论隐喻可以促进定性和定量发现的整合，帮助研究人员阐明他们的理论主张和结果的基础。这可以更好地理解理论和实证发现之间的联系，挑战理论假设并发展新理论。
It has been argued that mixed methods research can be useful in nursing and health science because of the complexity of the phenomena studied. However, the integration of qualitative and quantitative approaches continues to be one of much debate and there is a need for a rigorous framework for designing and interpreting mixed methods research. This paper explores the analytical approaches (i.e. parallel, concurrent or sequential) used in mixed methods studies within healthcare and exemplifies the use of triangulation as a methodological metaphor for drawing inferences from qualitative and quantitative findings originating from such analyses. This review of the literature used systematic principles in searching CINAHL, Medline and PsycINFO for healthcare research studies which employed a mixed methods approach and were published in the English language between January 1999 and September 2009. In total, 168 studies were included in the results. Most studies originated in the United States of America (USA), the United Kingdom (UK) and Canada. The analytic approach most widely used was parallel data analysis. A number of studies used sequential data analysis; far fewer studies employed concurrent data analysis. Very few of these studies clearly articulated the purpose for using a mixed methods design. The use of the methodological metaphor of triangulation on convergent, complementary, and divergent results from mixed methods studies is exemplified and an example of developing theory from such data is provided. A trend for conducting parallel data analysis on quantitative and qualitative data in mixed methods healthcare research has been identified in the studies included in this review. Using triangulation as a methodological metaphor can facilitate the integration of qualitative and quantitative findings, help researchers to clarify their theoretical propositions and the basis of their results. This can offer a better understanding of the links between theory and empirical findings, challenge theoretical assumptions and develop new theory.
