However, the integration of qualitative and quantitative approaches continues to be one of much debate and there is a need for a rigorous framework for designing and interpreting mixed methods research. This paper explores the analytical approaches (i.e. parallel, concurrent or sequential) used in mixed methods studies within healthcare and exemplifies the use of triangulation as a methodological metaphor for drawing inferences from qualitative and quantitative findings originating from such analyses. Design: This review of the literature used systematic principles in searching CINAHL, Medline and PsycINFO for healthcare research studies which employed a mixed methods approach and were published in the English language between January 1999 and September 2009. Results: In total, 168 studies were included in the results. Most studies originated in the United States of America (USA), the United Kingdom (UK) and Canada. The analytic approach most widely used was parallel data analysis. A number of studies used sequential data analysis; far fewer studies employed concurrent data analysis. Very few of these studies clearly articulated the purpose for using a mixed methods design. The use of the methodological metaphor of triangulation on convergent, complementary, and divergent results from mixed methods studies is exemplified and an example of developing theory from such data is provided. Conclusion: A trend for conducting parallel data analysis on quantitative and qualitative data in mixed methods healthcare research has been identified in the studies included in this review. Using triangulation as a methodological metaphor can facilitate the integration of qualitative and quantitative findings, help researchers to clarify their theoretical propositions and the basis of their results. This can offer a better understanding of the links between theory and empirical findings, challenge theoretical assumptions and develop new theory.</p> Subject The topic of the resource Healthcare research; Literature review; Methodological development; Mixed methods; Triangulation Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived - Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available - Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource - Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource - Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource - Relation A related resource - Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource - Language A language of the resource - Type The nature or genre of the resource - Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context 10.1016/j.ijnurstu.2010.10.005 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0020748910003639?via%3Dihub Coverage The spatial or temporal topic of the resource, the spatial applicability of the resource, or the jurisdiction under which the resource is relevant -
