“…Stage, extent of collaboration, and degree of investigator independence were discrepantly described. Regarding stage (i.e., the point of the research process during which IT occurred), data collection and analysis (Al-Hamdan & Anthony, 2010; Azulai & Rankin, 2012; Cowman, 1993; Denzin, 1970, 1989; Thurmond, 2001; Williamson, 2005) or data analysis alone (Begley, 1996; Mitchell, 1986; Patton, 1999, 2002; Redfern & Norman, 1994; Schroepfer et al, 2009) were the most common points of collaboration. Authors of four articles did not specify the stage of IT collaboration (Flick et al, 2012; Kimchi et al, 1991; Shih, 1998; Torrance, 2012).…”

“…However, descriptions of researcher attributes provided, such as skills and expertise, were nondescriptive and ambiguous. For instance, 7 of 18 references did not specify which researcher attributes (e.g., skill, expertise, disciplinary background) are necessary in IT (Al-Hamdan & Anthony, 2010;Azulai & Rankin, 2012;Patton, 1999Patton, , 2002Schroepfer et al, 2009;Torrance, 2012;Williamson, 2005). Of the 13 resources that did describe attributes, 5 generically referred to skilled or expert researchers (Begley, 1996;Cowman, 1993;Denzin, 1970Denzin, , 1978Denzin, , 1989Halcomb & Andrew, 2005;Thurmond, 2001).…”

“…The extent of researcher collaboration, frequently expressed as ''equal role prominence,'' was explicitly discussed in four articles (Begley, 1996;Flick et al, 2012;Kimchi et al, 1991;Shih, 1998) and eluded to by Denzin (1978, p. 303). Azulai and Rankin (2012), Halcomb and Andrew (2005), Denzin (1970Denzin ( , 1978Denzin ( , 1989 Two or more and Patton (1999) attended to investigator independence, stating that no discussion or collaboration should occur prior to examining the problem, collecting, or analyzing the data. Despite these discrepancies, claims associated with IT were extensive and diverse.…”

“…Despite these discrepancies, claims associated with IT were extensive and diverse. Authors of 11 resources credited IT with reducing or neutralizing researcher bias (Cowman, 1993;Denzin, 1970Denzin, , 1978Denzin, , 1989Halcomb & Andrew, 2005;Kimchi et al, 1991;Mitchell, 1986;Patton, 1999Patton, , 2002Redfern & Norman, 1994;Schroepfer et al, 2009;Thurmond, 2001;Thurston et al, 2008), while eight endorsed IT with enhancing trustworthiness, credibility, reliability, or validity (Azulai & Rankin, 2012;Cowman, 1993;Halcomb & Andrew, 2005;Mitchell, 1986;Patton, 1999Patton, , 2002Schroepfer et al, 2009;Thurmond, 2001). Authors of six resources discussed how triangulation can enhance understanding and richness of data (Flick et al, 2012;Halcomb & Andrew, 2005;Patton, 2002;Shih, 1998;Thurmond, 2001;Torrance, 2012); with Flick et al (2012), Patton (2002), Shih (1998), and Thurmond (2001) discussing this specific to IT procedures.…”

The purpose of this article is to explore investigator triangulation (IT), a collaborative strategy with potential for mixed methods research (MMR). A critical review of the literature was conducted to identify IT's core elements and its use in MMR. Five databases, 2 MMR journals, and 13 MMR texts were searched for evidence of IT according to preestablished inclusion criteria. IT descriptions and applications were inconsistent and lacked detailed reporting. Incongruence between IT procedures and associated claims were present. IT was generally limited to singlestrand data analysis and was used predominantly to reduce researcher bias. IT's potential as a generative and pragmatic research strategy used to engage with tensions emerging through diversity in MMR is explored and reporting guidelines are presented.

“…The study employed a convergent, parallel mixed methods design (Creswell & Plano-Clark, 2011), using a cross-sectional survey (n = 635) and follow-up qualitative semi-structured interviews (n = 14). This approach allowed for the triangulation of qualitative and quantitative research methods (Azulai & Rankin, 2012) to collect rich data with the joint focus on depth and breadth of the study of this under-researched phenomenon.…”

RÉSUMÉBien que la dépression gériatrique soit un problème de santé mentale répandu, grave et sous-évalué dans les établissements de soins pour personnes âgées, peu de recherches ont été réalisées sur ce thème au Canada. Cette étude exploratoire à méthodes mixtes examine les perspectives et les pratiques du personnel infirmier réglementé en matière d’évaluation de la dépression gériatrique dans les établissements de soins en Alberta. Les résultats d’enquêtes quantitatives (n = 635) et d’entrevues qualitatives (n = 14) indiquent que la dépression gériatrique n’est pas systématiquement évaluée dans ces milieux de soins en raison de multiples défis, incluant un protocole d’évaluation manquant de clarté, l’utilisation non uniforme de méthodes d’évaluation dans les établissements et leur utilité clinique contestée, la disponibilité limitée des professionnels en santé mentale dans ces établissements et les opinions divergentes concernant la responsabilité du personnel infirmier professionnel dans l’évaluation de la dépression. Les implications et les orientations futures de la recherche sont discutées.

Organizational performance of the management system helps top management achieve strategic business objectives and goals. It provides valid and useful information for making strategic decisions concerning employees. It includes information on employee’ performance, and organizational and supervisor’s expectations. Despite the benefits arising from the implementation of a well-designed performance management system, the public sector in Namibia still faces challenges when it comes to its realization. It is against this background that this study aimed to investigate the challenges faced by the public sector in the implementation of a performance management system in Namibia. The study used a qualitative research method and collected data through interviews. The sample consists of 42 participants. The data gathered was reviewed against the literature on the subject. The thematic data analysis technique was used to analyze the data, where core topics emerging from the discussion and interviews were grouped and analyzed. This research identifies a lack of training and proper orientation in performance management as primary challenges in adopting a performance management system in the public sector. The other contributing factors include inadequate monitoring and evaluation, the shortage of policies supporting the implementation process, poor communication in performance planning, performance reviews, poor feedback on performance and lack of employee involvement in the implementation of the performance management system. Hence, management should provide training and workshops to sensitize the employees on the aims and benefits of a performance management system and develop policies to enforce compliance in the public sector.
