“…Using multiple data sources generated by different people (the professional field notes, Game Plan Worksheet responses from trainees, and GAS scores generated with input from trainees, their parents, and the professional) strengthens our confidence that the case study authentically represents the actual process that occurred (Salminen, Harra, & Lautamo, 2006;Verschuren, 2003).…”

Project TEAM empowers trainees with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) to identify and respond to environmental barriers and includes an individualized component in which trainees work towards a goal. During individualized planning sessions and a community-based outing, the licensed professional follows a 5-step process to scaffold support. This case study explores how 2 transition-age trainees (male, age 19, ID; and female, age 18, Asperger's syndrome) progressed through Project TEAM's individualized component and identifies key elements that supported their achievement of community participation and postsecondary education goals. The 5-step process and the incorporation of universally designed materials appear to support goal attainment. Additional elements that may contribute to success include peer mentors, experiential learning opportunities, and individualized supports from the licensed professional.

“…It is used to explore real-life experiences and situations, when the phenomenon and the context in which it occurs are of interest (Yin 2003, Luck et al 2006, Salminen et al 2006. It is an appropriate design for exploring events, situations, programmes and activities (Hancock andAlgozzine 2006, Berg 2009).…”

Background Case study research is a valuable way to explore and describe nursing phenomena in their natural contexts. Multiple sources of evidence are critical in this approach. It is imperative that the strategies for selection, collection and analysis of cases are considered and articulated in the early stages of planning, to avoid having large datasets which cannot be harmonised. AimTo critically examine what is meant by 'multiple sources of evidence' and how they can be used in case study research. Two examples of case study research are used to illustrate the decisions the authors made during the selection, collection and analysis stages of the research. DiscussionThese decisions included what sources would be used, rationales for their use, and how the data would be collected and analysed. In addition, multiple sources of evidence can result in large amounts of data so the use of NVivo to manage the data is described.Conclusion Each source of evidence selected must have a clear purpose and relate to the study's objectives. Clarification of this during the early planning of any research is imperative.Implications for practice The authors hope that the examples provided to illustrate how multiple sources of evidence are used will guide researchers conducting case study research.

“…A multiple, embedded case study design added reliability to findings and offered a thorough understanding of cases in the study [40]. The embedded case study design allowed the investigator to study the programmes through the pre-selected categories of descriptions; the different domains, elements and indicators in the framework [41].…”
