“…The first author spent 3 months building a relationship of trust (Ginsberg & Mertens, 2009) with Lucy before introducing the possibility of her participation in this project. Before speaking to Lucy, we provided her parents with detailed information (verbal and written) about the proposed study and requested their permission to continue.…”

In this article, we communicate transformative findings from a case study on the resilience of a young woman with fragile X syndrome (FXS), a genetic condition involving mental impairment and physical, emotional, and behavioral challenges. We explored the resilience of "Lucy," a spirited 16-year-old North American, using informal interviews with her, formal interviews with significant adults in her life, and observations (visual and anecdotal) over 20 months. In reporting the information-rich case of Lucy, well supported by her ecology to rise above full-mutation FXS, we encourage a positive perspective of living with FXS. Although we recognize the limitations of a single case study, our findings offer tentative, process-oriented insights into resilience in contexts of genetic disability, previously unreported in conjunction with FXS. We concluded that the processes informing Lucy's resilience were partly her responsibility and partly her social ecology's, and comprised intrapersonal agency, unconditional positive acceptance and belonging, and support toward mastery.

Türkiye'de yaşayan kadın göçmenlerin sağlık hizmetlerine erişimlerini, insan hakları, sağlık hakkı ve kadın hakları temelinde inceleyen bu araştırmanın temel amacı, Türkiye'ye çeşitli ülkelerden, değişik sebeplerle göç etmiş, farklı göçmenlik statüleri bulunan ve farklı sektörlerde istihdam edilen veya edilmeyen kadınların, sağlık durumları ve mevcut sağlık hizmetlerine erişim düzeylerinin tespit edilmesidir. Bu amaç çerçevesinde konunun öznesi olan göçmen kadınlarla yüz-yüze, yarı-yapılandırılmış görüşmeler gerçekleştirilmiştir. 18 farklı ülkeden toplam 41 kadın göçmenle görüşülmüş; verilere NVivo nitel analiz programı vasıtasıyla tematik analiz uygulanmıştır. Araştırma bulgularında, kadınların özellikle dil engeli, haklarını veya kullanma yollarını yeterince bilmeme, sağlık kuruluşlarında karşılaşılan, din, ırk ve cinsiyet temelli olumsuz tutumlar ve sigorta ile ilgili tutarsız uygulamalar gibi sebeplerle sağlık sorunlarını çözmekte sorunlar yaşadığı görülmüştür. Kadın göçmenlerin, kadın olmalarından ötürü yaşadıkları özgül deneyimleri, özellikle kendilerinin yanı sıra çocuk, eş ve ebeveyn gibi aile bireylerinin sağlığı için de çözüm yolları arayan aktörler konumunda olmalarıyla ve cinsel sağlık ve üreme sağlığı hakları bakımından karşılaşılan sorunlarla ilişkilendirilerek ele alınmıştır. Bu noktada göçün toplumsal cinsiyetlendirilmiş boyutu, sağlık hakkı odağında ortaya konmuştur. Bulunan çözüm yolları içerisinde ulus-ötesi ağlar ile sivil toplum desteği tartışılmıştır.

“…In the midst of this puzzlement over the role of accounting for values within the context of pragmatic mixed methods research, the transformative paradigm, promoted by Mertens and others (see Canales, 2013;Ginsburg & Mertens, 2009;Mertens, 2003Mertens, , 2005Mertens, , 2007Mertens, , 2011Mertens et al, 2009;Mertens et al, 2010) has been forwarded within the mixed methods literature as an axiological framework for combining qualitative and quantitative methods. In its consistent orientation toward and identification with mixed methods research, it would seem to potentially address some of the questions concerning the coherence of a pragmatic axiology within mixed methods research.…”

“…In this regard, Mertens (2007) argues it provides ''a framework for addressing inequality and injustice in society using culturally competent mixed methods strategies'' in the context of ''the potential strength of mixed methods research to provide a basis for social change'' (p. 212). The researcher working from the transformative paradigm will be especially attentive to issues of power and make this attention to power relationships central to her or his investigation (Ginsburg & Mertens, 2009;Mertens, 2005Mertens, , 2007. Mertens (2007) has consistently used the term paradigm to describe this philosophical framework, arguing that a paradigm amounts to ''a metaphysical construct associated with specific philosophical assumptions that define one's worldview'' (p. 215), and thus, one's scholarly and scientific practice.…”

Axiology and Anomaly in the Practice of Mixed Methods Work

This article uses a Kuhnian framework to explain the adoption of the transformative paradigm in pragmatically informed mixed methods research. We argue that pragmatism represents a model of ''normal science'' among many mixed methods researchers and that Kuhn's concept of the scientific anomaly provides an instructive metaphor for understanding what we interpret to be a failure of pragmatic mixed methods researchers to adequately account for the axiological foundation for their work. The transformative paradigm thus can be read as providing pragmatic researchers with an axiological ''fix'' that sidesteps the larger question of how to establish a philosophically consistent means of specifying research value. We discuss this argument in light of pragmatist philosophy, the recent history of mixed methods research, and the future development of the field.
