Nursing researchers utilize a variety of methodologies to conduct their studies, including:
- Quantitative Research: Involves the collection and analysis of numerical data to identify patterns, relationships, and causation. - Qualitative Research: Focuses on understanding human experiences and behaviors through methods like interviews, focus groups, and observations. - Mixed-Methods Research: Combines both quantitative and qualitative approaches to provide a comprehensive understanding of the research problem.
They often work in collaboration with other healthcare professionals, statisticians, and subject matter experts to ensure the rigor and validity of their research.
