TL;DR
A research program on postpartum depression is used to illustrate how qualitative and quantitative approaches can be used to develop a research program that is knowledge directed and not method limited.
Abstract
A productive research program for nurse scientists in both academic and clinical settings is critical to career advancement. In this article a research program on postpartum depression is used to illustrate how qualitative and quantitative approaches can be used to develop a research program that is knowledge directed and not method limited.
