BHA 4010 CU CAUTI Mixed Methods Research Study

D4010Evaluating Mixed Methods Research
Find a mixed-methods study on the HAC you used previously. If one is not available,
explain how you would use the information from the two articles you reviewed
previously to create a mixed-methods study. Remember, based on the Johnson and
Onwuegbuzie article, that a mixed methods study does not just combine the previous
two studies. It must also meet the criteria explained by the authors.
•
Evaluate the mixed methods study. Use the following mixed methods

Does the purpose statement fit logically with the problem statement?
Does the purpose statement use similar words to the problem statement, or
does it seem to address a different topic?
Based on the problem statement, do the research questions align with the
method and design of the study? For instance, are words like perception used
that would automatically reject a quantitative study?
Do questions seek to describe responses to the variables described in the
study?
Do research questions appear that fit with the criteria for both qualitative and
quantitative research?
Are hypotheses associated with the quantitative research questions?
Does the researcher indicate how the two approaches will be integrated for
the study?
Does the question specify the participants and research site? Does the
description describe the overall intent of the study to justify the use of a mixed
method?
