A nurse researcher plans to collect quantitative data and qualitative data at the same time. This data collection is guided by a specific theoretical perspective. Which mixed method strategy is the researcher contemplating?
1. Concurrent triangulation
2. Sequential transformative
3. Concurrent transformative
4. Sequential exploratory
3
Rationale 1: Concurrent triangulation method compensates weakness in one method.
Rationale 2: In sequential transformative method, the data are not collected at the same time.
Rationale 3: In the concurrent transformative strategy, data are collected concurrently. The defining feature is that the research is guided by a specific theoretical perspective.
Rationale 4: In sequential exploratory method, the qualitative data are collected first, followed by quantitative data collection and analysis.
