Caracterização das pesquisas de métodos mistos em enfermagem publicadas no Journal of Mixed Methods Research

Abstract

Objetivo: caracterizar a produção científica da área da enfermagem publicada no Journal of Mixed Methods Research. Método: estudo documental, com abordagem quantitativa. A coleta de dados foi realizada de abril a maio de 2019, a partir do termo Nursing no campo de busca da página online do periódico, considerando o recorte temporal de 2007 a 2018. Os dados foram analisados por meio de estatística descritiva. Resultados: identificaram-se 37 artigos originais, publicados principalmente a partir de 2011 (70,2%), com destaque para os Estados Unidos (45,9%). A triangulação concomitante ou paralelo-convergente foi o principal desenho metodológico adotado pelos artigos (32,4%). Nas etapas qualitativa e quantitativa das pesquisas, predominaram estudos exploratório-descritivos (12,4%) e transversais (21,7%), respectivamente. Considerações finais: evidenciaram-se múltiplas possibilidades no emprego dos métodos mistos na pesquisa em enfermagem. Os resultados do estudo poderão auxiliar pesquisadores interessados na utilização de métodos mistos de pesquisa.

Social representations of the family caregiver about palliative care in terminal patient / Representações sociais do cuidador familiar sobre cuidados paliativos em paciente terminal

“…4 The qualitative approach objectively analyzes the phenomenon studied and when it comes to the field of social research, this approach aims to understand the universe of meanings, aspirations, beliefs, values and attitudes belonging to the individual's social context. 5 In this sense, the descriptive study aims to observe, record, analyze and correlate facts or phenomena without adulterating them. In other words, it seeks to find out, as precisely as possible, the frequency with which a phenomenon occurs, its relationship and connection with others, its nature and its characteristics.…”

“…This method allows the researcher to discuss the proposed topic and have the freedom to add new questions to the script in order to deepen and clarify points that they consider relevant to the objectives of the study, while allowing the interviewee the free will to express themselves on the subject addressed without failing to follow a script. 5,7 The form is subdivided into two parts: the first will look at the profile of the participants, and the second at the subjects' social representations of palliative care and its implications for terminal cancer patients. Regarding this semi-structured interview, it should be noted that this option arises from the need to direct the research, thus facilitating the gathering of data taking into account the proposed objectives.…”

“…9 The authors formulated a guide consisting of six phases in the use of thematic analysis, and these phases can either follow consecutively or go backwards during the process. They are as follows: (1) Becoming familiar with the data itself -transcribing the data, reading and re-reading the data, writing down initial ideas; (2) Generating initial codes -coding interesting features of all the data in a systematic way, comparing the relevant data with each code; (3) Searching for themes -grouping the codes into potential themes, bringing together all the relevant data for each potential theme; (4) Reviewing the themes -checking the working themes against the coded extracts (phase 1) and the data as a whole (phase 2), generating a thematic analysis map; (5) Defining and naming the themes -ongoing analysis to refine the specifics of each theme and the overall story of what the analysis has learned, thus generating clear definitions and names for each theme; (6) Writing the report -the final integration of the analysis by selecting clear descriptions, convincing extracts, to use as examples, relating to the final analysis, returning to the study question(s) and the literature, producing a research report. [9][10] Risks and benefits All resources were used to provide reliability, privacy, data confidentiality, image protection, non-stigmatization and guaranteed non-binding of information obtained during the research.…”
