“…A broad constructivist framework guided this study where language and meaning connect the experience as shared to its context [19]. A qualitative approach was most appropriate for this study to allow for an in depth exploration of the complexity of human experience and helps build a comprehensive understanding of patients’ choices and influencing factors surrounding alcohol use, potential for changes in behavior, and the impact of the ICU environment.…”

“…Purposeful sampling was used to identify information-rich individuals who met criteria for an AUD within the context of an acute medical ICU admission, and who were willing to share detailed knowledge about their choices and perceptions about alcohol, its use and its relationship to their health. Adequacy of the sample size was based on the quality of data and nature of shared experiences [19]. …”

Purpose Alcohol abuse and dependence are collectively referred to as alcohol use disorders (AUD). An AUD is present in up to one third of patients admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU). We sought to understand the barriers and facilitators to change in ICU survivors with an AUD in order to provide a foundation upon which to tailor alcohol-related interventions. Methods We utilized a qualitative approach with a broad constructivist framework, conducting semistructured interviews in medical ICU survivors with an AUD. Patients were included if they were admitted to one of two medical ICUs and were excluded if they refused participation, were unable to participate, or did not speak English. Digitally recorded and professionally transcribed interviews were analyzed using a general inductive approach and grouped into themes. Results Nineteen patients were included with an average age of 51 [interquartile range (IQR) 36–51] years and an average APACHE II score of 9 [IQR 5–13]; 68% were Caucasian, 74% were male, and the most common reason for admission was alcohol withdrawal (n = 8). We identified five facilitators of change: empathy of the inpatient healthcare environment, recognition of accumulating problems, religion, pressure from others to stop drinking, and trigger events. We identified 3 barriers to change: missed opportunities, psychiatric comorbidity, and cognitive dysfunction. Social networks were identified as either a barrier or facilitator to change depending on the specific context. Conclusions Alcohol-related interventions to motivate and sustain behavior change could be tailored to ICU survivors by accounting for unique barriers and facilitators.

“…Some reviews have also found low numbers of mixed methods studies in primary care [22], mental health nursing [21], and health services research [18]. In comparison, other reviews suggest mixed methods are used more often: one review of UK-funded health services research found that 18% of studies are mixed methods [17]; nursing and education journals publish more mixed methods studies (16%) than psychology and sociology journals (6%) [19].…”

“…Previous reviews have described the prevalence and quality of mixed methods studies in health services research [16][17][18], social and behavioural sciences [19,20], and various biomedical disciplines [21][22][23]. The purpose of this review was to provide a critical overview of the current state of mixed methods research in CAM.…”

Background. Mixed methods research uses qualitative and quantitative methods together in a single study or a series of related studies. Objectives. To review the prevalence and quality of mixed methods studies in complementary medicine. Methods. All studies published in the top 10 integrative and complementary medicine journals in 2012 were screened. The quality of mixed methods studies was appraised using a published tool designed for mixed methods studies. Results. 4% of papers (95 out of 2349) reported mixed methods studies, 80 of which met criteria for applying the quality appraisal tool. The most popular formal mixed methods design was triangulation (used by 74% of studies), followed by embedded (14%), sequential explanatory (8%), and finally sequential exploratory (5%). Quantitative components were generally of higher quality than qualitative components; when quantitative components involved RCTs they were of particularly high quality. Common methodological limitations were identified. Most strikingly, none of the 80 mixed methods studies addressed the philosophical tensions inherent in mixing qualitative and quantitative methods. Conclusions and Implications. The quality of mixed methods research in CAM can be enhanced by addressing philosophical tensions and improving reporting of (a) analytic methods and reflexivity (in qualitative components) and (b) sampling and recruitment-related procedures (in all components).

“…Today, however, the most commonly used term is "mixed methods". [3][4][5] Mixed methods is recommended when one of the four following scenarios is evident: 1) When very little is known about a new concept, a qualitative approach can be used before a quantitative approach; 2) when findings from a research approach can be better interpreted by using findings from the other approach; 3) when a sole approach is not sufficient to generate meaningful findings; and 4) when quantitative findings can be enriched by qualitative findings. 2,4 Oftentimes with mixed methods, results from one method can help identify appropriate participants to be questioned for richer information.…”

Objective: to describe our experience integrating quantitative and qualitative data in a mixed methods study.Methods: we described our experience through real-life examples based on a nursing doctoral thesis on professional practice governance within a hospital environment.Results: three main topics are delineated in this article: the foundation, characteristics, and typologies of mixed methods research; quantitative and qualitative data collection, analysis, and integration; and the benefits and challenges of mixed methods research. Conclusion:it is supported that a mixed method research allowed for the identification of the convergence and divergence between the qualitative and the quantitative data, contributing for the production of results that complement each other. DESCRIPTORS:Nursing research. Methodology. Nursing administration research. Nursing service, Hospital. Management. Working environment. INTEGRAÇÃO ENTRE DADOS QUANTITATIVOS E QUALITATIVOS EM UMA PESQUISA DE MÉTODOS MISTOS RESUMOObjetivo: descrever a experiência da integração entre dados quantitativos e qualitativos, por meio de uma pesquisa de métodos mistos.Método: trata-se de um relato de experiência da utilização dessa abordagem metodológica em um estudo de tese de doutorado em enfermagem sobre a governança da prática profissional de enfermagem no ambiente hospitalar.Resultados: o texto apresenta três tópicos principais: fundamentação teórica sobre as características e tipologias dos estudos de métodos mistos; procedimentos de coleta, análise e combinação dos dados; e benefícios e desafios da realização desse tipo de estudo.Conclusão: sustenta-se que a realização de uma pesquisa de métodos mistos permitiu a identificação de convergências e divergências entre os dados qualitativos e quantitativos, contribuindo para a produção de resultados que se complementam entre si. DESCRITORES: INTEGRACIÓN ENTRE DATOS CUANTITATIVOS Y CUALITATIVOS EN UNA INVESTIGACIÓN DE MÉTODOS MISTOS RESUMENObjetivo: describir la experiencia de la integración entre datos cuantitativos y cualitativos, a través de una investigación de métodos mixtos.Método: se trata de un relato de experiencia de la utilización de ese enfoque metodológico en un estudio de tesis de doctorado en enfermería sobre la gobernanza de la práctica profesional de enfermería en el ambiente hospitalario.Resultados: tres temas principales se delinean en este artículo: las bases, características y tipologías de la investigación de métodos mixtos; recopilación, análisis e integración de datos cuantitativos y cualitativos; y los beneficios y desafíos de la investigación de métodos mixtos.Conclusión: se apoya que la realización de una investigación de métodos mixtos permitió la identificación de convergencias y divergencias entre los datos cualitativos y cuantitativos, contribuyendo a la producción de resultados que se complementan entre sí.
