“…An exploratory sequential mixed method allows for multiple methods to be used in a single study to explore topics about which little is known (Creswell & Plano Clark, 2010). The Delphi method is considered a mixed approach as it allows the use of different research strategies for data collection and analysis (Massaroli, Martini, Lino, Spenassato, & Massaroli, 2017) and has been used in a wide range of topics in nursing, including: role delineation (Duffield, 1988; Roberts‐Davis & Read, 2001; White & Wilkes, 1998), research priorities (Annells, Deroche, Koch, Lewin, & Lucke, 2005; Bayley, MacLean, Desy, & McMahon, 2004; Considine, Curtis, Shaban, & Fry, 2018), standards of practice (ENA NP Validation Work Team et al, 2010; Okuwa, Sugama, Sanada, Konya, & Kitagawa, 2005) and development of survey instruments (Fry & Burr, 2001).…”
