“…Fifth, it should be noted that although there is reason to believe in a positive relationships between project methodologies in general and project performance (Joslin and Müller 2016a), it is not possible in this report to document a causal relationship between the improved performance of the pilot projects compared to the reference projects and the HDM. We cannot say that the performance improvements are caused by the HDM -we only state that when we find indications that there might be a relationship, the pilot and reference projects are similar or at least comparable on a large number of dimensions but different when it comes to practices -and that the explanation of the improved performance might lie in the variation in HDM practices.…”

“…Second, the report is an evaluative study in which the projects are classified as more or less successful. Project success is a multidimensional and contested concept (Jugdev and Müller 2005) that lies in the eyes of the beholder (Joslin and Müller 2016a). Therefore, the projects analyzed in this report might be perceived as more successful by one stakeholder and less successful by another.…”

“…An inductive approach was employed in conducting the analyses accordance triangulation of data from different sources and times (13,14). The sequence of the analyses was determined based on the type of data sources, including the participants and the collection method, and then analyzed: first, the observations and participatory data; second, the FGDs; and third, the interviews.…”

“…The study employed a methodological triangulation design. Methodological triangulation is a research approach that uses a variety of different data collection methods, and can include secondary data analyses drawing on qualitative data from earlier studies, and other data collected using multi-method triangulation (11)(12)(13)(14). Using an alternative qualitative research design to pursue the overall aim of the study adds to its richness.…”

Background: Nurses' roles are an important aspect of their approaches to pain management and monitoring in the post-operative phase of recovery in a surgical ward. A barrier to successful pain management may be the nurse's perceptions of the patient in pain, which are confounded by the patterns of communication within individual contexts. We need to study, grasp and understand the complexities of the pain management practice within the context of the surgical ward in order to be able to improve the practices and design appropriate interventions to help patients in need. Objective: The purpose of this study was to explore nurses' postoperative pain management practices. Methods: This qualitative triangulation study was conducted in a surgical ward at a public hospital in Bangkok (Thailand) from 2012 to 2015. We applied four qualitative methods in the study: 1) observations in a postoperative pain management setting (100 hours); 2) in-depth interviews (12 nurses), 3) three focus group discussions (18 nurses), and 4) narratives relating to 69 critical incidents gathered during recurrent visits over a period of ten weeks (9 nurses). Content analysis, as outlined in grounded theory, was applied. Results: The 40 nursing staff made their observations of the participants by conducting go-along interviews while they worked in the surgical field. The group of nurses comprised of 20 females and 4 males, age-ranged between 21-49 years of age, and their nursing experience ranged from 1-28 years. From our analysis, nurses verified patients' pain by using double-and triple-control methods to document and record it, thus managing pain by administrative procedures rather than being proactive in providing pain relief. Therefore, communication and information about the patients' pain and subsequent treatment of postoperative pain caused delays that may hamper the adequate use of available analgesics for pain relief. Levels of experience in communicating between nurses, other professionals, and patients were a main cause of delays in treating and managing pain. Conclusion: The complex communication system that would improve the communication ways leads to better standards of practice and quality of care.

“…The triangulation of data from these different methods made it possible to construct several figures (see Section 4), visualising the emergent properties of the social learning dynamics in time. This methodological data triangulation refers to the finding of similarities between results from different research methods (Joslin and Müller 2016). Remarks and data on trust, commitment and reframing from the survey were taken as a starting point for constructing the values 'low, moderate, high' .…”

Regional sustainability networks in the Netherlands are rooted in regional culture and have an emphasis on social learning and effective collaboration between multiple actors. The national 'Duurzaam Door' (Moving Forward Sustainably) Policy Programme regards these networks as generative governance arrangements where new knowledge, actions and relations can co-evolve together with new insights in governance and learning within sustainability transitions. In order to understand the dynamics of the learning in these networks we have monitored emergent properties of social learning between 2014 and 2016. Our focus is particularly on the interrelated role of trust, commitment, reframing and reflexivity. Our aim is to better understand the role and the dynamics of these emergent properties and to see which actors and roles can foster the effectiveness of social learning in regional transitions towards more sustainable ways of living. We used a retrospective analysis with Reflexive Monitoring in Action (RMA), which we combined with the Most Significant Change approach. We found that reflexivity in particular is a critical property at moments that can make or break the process.
