护理专业采用了许多其他学科的理论基础，包括研究方法。这导致了接受一种认识论观点而排斥其他观点。在这种背景下，护理研究的演变反映了一种相当保守的方法。1950年代和1960年代，定量方法是占主导地位的范式，而在1970年代和1980年代，研究方法越来越多地定位于定性范式。人们注意到，每一种研究视角都有一些内在的差异，这些差异导致了特定类型的研究努力。在文献中，一般支持定量定性范式的分离。然而，在接受这两种方法之间的固有差异，护士研究人员一直担心，没有一种方法孤立于其他将真正提供人类及其健康相关的需求，问题或护理的理解。三角测量作为一种研究策略，代表了整合两种研究方法的一种手段。三角测量是在研究同一个物体或事件时，为了更准确地描述所研究的现象，将多种方法相结合的一种方法，最早使用于1959年。探讨三角测量优点的文献并不完整。然而，据报告，三角测量通过调和定量和定性方法固有的范式假设，提供了丰富和富有成效的数据。三角分析确实为两极化的定量和定性方法提供了一种替代办法，也是调和这两种方法论阵营的一种手段。
The nursing profession has adopted many of its theoretical foundations, including research approaches, from other academic disciplines. This has resulted in the acceptance of one epistemological perspective to the exclusion of others. In this context, the evolution of nursing research reflects a rather conservative approach. The quantitative approach was the dominant paradigm of the 1950s, 1960s and during the 1970s and 1980s the research approach has been increasingly located in the qualitative paradigm. It is noted that each research perspective has several inherent differences which give rise to a specific type of research endeavour. Within the literature there is general support for the separateness of the quantitative qualitative paradigm. However in accepting the inherent differences between the two methods, nurse researchers have been concerned that neither method in isolation from the other will truly provide an understanding of human beings and of their health-related needs, problems or nursing care. Triangulation as a research strategy represents a means of integrating the two research approaches. Triangulation, first used in 1959, is defined as a combination of multi methods in a study of the same object or event to depict more accurately the phenomenon being investigated. The literature exploring the merits of triangulation is incomplete. However, it is reported that triangulation, by reconciling the paradigmatic assumptions inherent to quantitative and qualitative methods, provides rich and productive data. Triangulation does offer an alternative to the bi-polar quantitative and qualitative approaches and a means of reconciling the two methodological encampments.
