Qualitative Health ResearchPractical Strategies for Combining Qualitative and Quantitative Methods: Applications to Health Research
1,364 Citations1998David L. Morgan
A series of research designs for combining qualitative and quantitative methods, using a Priority-Sequence Model that relies on the principle of complementarity, are described, which consider further research designs and the expertise necessary for multiple-methods research.

948 Citations2004John W. Creswell
Scandinavian Journal of Caring SciencesQuality of Care
410 Citations1994Bodil Wilde, Gerry Larsson +2 more
A questionnaire, Quality from Patients' Perspective (QPP), was developed which consisted of 56 items and each item was evaluated in two ways by the respondent; assessment of perceived reality and evaluation of subjective importance (Likert scales).
Qualitative Health ResearchAggregating Qualitative Findings: An Approach to Theory Development
264 Citations1994Carole A. Estabrooks, Peggy Anne Field +1 more
The authors suggest that findings of independent, similar research articles may be aggregated into a cohesive study, which greatly enhances the generalizability of the original studies and produces a relatively solid mid-range theory.
Journal of Advanced NursingUsing triangulation in nursing research
255 Citations1996Cecily Begley
It is argued that the view that triangulation is merely the combination of different methods of investigation is a narrow one, and it is recommended that nurse researchers increase their utilization of the four less frequently used types of triangulations: data, investigator, theoretical and unit of analysis.
International Journal of Nursing StudiesA critical appraisal of the role of triangulation in nursing research
129 Citations1998Julius Sim, Keith Sharp
Nurse researchers should approach triangulation in a cautious and critical way, with due regard to the rather dubious assumptions upon which it frequently rests.
PubMedIntegrating qualitative and quantitative research methods.
82 Citations1990Kurt C. Stange, S. J. Zyzanski
The differences between quantitative and qualitative methods are described and the limitations of research which involves one approach to the exclusion of the other are discussed.
Medical Care Research and ReviewExploring the Use of Qualitative Methods in Published Health Services and Management Research
46 Citations2000Timothy Hoff, Lori C. Witt
The findings show that only about one in seven published research articles used qualitative methods, and there is no standard number of pages devoted by journals to these studies or evidence that they require more journal space on average than quantitative studies.
The Annals of Family MedicineImmunization Coverage and Medicaid Managed Care in New Mexico: A Multimethod Assessment
27 Citations2004Michael A. Schillaci
Medicaid reform in New Mexico did not improve immunization coverage, which declined significantly to among the lowest in the nation, and conditions that might have contributed to this decline were revealed.
