Mixed methods is an innovative research approach that can be applied to understand complex cardiovascular phenomena. A mixed methods study involves collecting both quantitative and qualitative data and intentionally integrating the data to provide a better understanding of the phenomena than can be achieved by using a quantitative or qualitative approach alone. Conducting a mixed methods study requires planning and careful attention to methodological rigour in the data collection, analysis, and integration phases. This paper provides an overview of the mixed methods approach and describes its application to cardiovascular nursing science.
混合方法是一种创新的研究方法，可用于理解复杂的心血管现象。混合方法研究涉及收集定量和定性数据，并有意将数据整合，以提供比仅使用定量或定性方法更深入的现象理解。进行混合方法研究需要在数据收集、分析和整合阶段进行计划和严格注意方法学严谨性。本文概述了混合方法，并描述了其在心血管护理科学中的应用。
