“…Nurse researchers can help address this dilemma by clearly explaining their approaches to MMR, rationales for using MMR to address the EBN problems, decisions about MMR designs, and criteria for assessing MMR study quality. Doing so may mitigate the continued dominance of quantitative methodologies in EBN (Kidd and Twycross, 2019; Noble and Shorten, 2018) by encouraging researchers to consider less traditional evidence hierarchies when designing their studies and by illustrating the feasibility of applying MMR to a range of EBN problems and contexts. The emphasis on methodological pluralism that characterises MMR also encourages researchers to use multiple methods and different data sources to produce alternative types of evidence on important antecedents and outcomes of EBN care that may not be apparent in quantitative data.…”

“…Qualitative research, as part of an MMR approach, can inform the design and conduct of intervention effectiveness studies (Flemming, 2007), secure patients’ and providers’ perspectives on EBP adoption and implementation (Barbour, 2000), and provide the context for evaluating EBP in nursing (Ailinger, 2003). Despite these advantages of MMR for optimising EBN practice, quantitative approaches continue to dominate EBN research (Kidd and Twycross, 2019; Noble and Shorten, 2018). Recent reviews of EBN articles found that qualitative approaches were used in only 15–20% of studies, and MMR approaches were used in one study (Kidd and Twycross, 2019; Noble and Shorten, 2018).…”

Background Increased pressure for evidence-based practice in nursing necessitates that researchers use effective approaches. Mixed-methods research (MMR) has potential to improve the knowledge and implementation of evidence-based nursing (EBN) by generating outcome-based and contextually-focused evidence. Aims To identify methodological trends in how MMR is used in EBN research. Methods Searches were completed in PubMed, CINAHL, and Google Scholar using the terms “nursing”, “mixed-methods”, and “evidence-based”. Seventy-two articles using MMR to address EBN and published 2000–2021 were reviewed across content themes and methodological domains of the Socio-Ecological Framework for MMR. Results Mixed-methods research has been used to study how EBN strategies are perceived, developed and assessed, and implemented or evaluated. A few studies provided an MMR definition reflecting the methods perspective, and the dominant MMR rationale was gaining a comprehensive understanding of the issue. The leading design was concurrent, and half of studies intersected MMR with evaluation, action/participatory, and/or case-study approaches. Research quality was primarily assessed using criteria specific to quantitative and qualitative approaches. Conclusions Mixed-methods research has great potential to enhance EBN research by generating more clinically useful findings and helping nurses understand how to identify and implement the best available research evidence in practice.

Lived experience of intimate partner violence among women using antiretroviral therapy and other outpatient services in Wolaita Zone, Ethiopia: a phenomenological study

2021

Background Ethiopia is one of the nations which has an enormous burden of intimate partner violence (IPV), and where it is usually difficult to talk about HIV separately from IPV. Objectives This research aimed to explore the lived experience of IPV against women using antiretroviral therapy (ART) and other outpatient services in Wolaita Zone, Ethiopia Methods We used an Interpretive (hermeneutic) Phenomenological Analysis design among purposively selected adult women aged 18–49 years. A total of 43 women participated in this study, of whom 30 were using ART, and 13 women were using other health services. We used an in-depth interview and focus group discussions until data saturation, while conscious of the need to maintain the scientific rigor, dependability, and credibility. The data were transcribed verbatim and translated into English. We read the transcripts repeatedly to understand the content. We used NVivo 11 software to assist with data organisation, and also, we used the framework analysis method. Results We identified five themes, namely: “women's terrifying experiences of violence,” “the effect of violence on women's health,” “support/lack of support /partner’s controlling behaviours,” “women’s feelings about the available services,” and “IPV prevention strategies from the perspective of women.” Interviewees described their violent experiences which included wife-beating, being stigmatised in front of others, having material thrown at the woman’s face, wife’s hand and teeth were broken, forced sex, restriction of movement, name-calling, threats to hurt, being insulted, being left alone, and the withdrawal of finances. The negative health impacts reported included abortion, infection with HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases, disability, child’s death, and depression. The disclosure of HIV test information resulted in violence. Inappropriate punishment of the perpetrator and the lack of a supportive women’s network to avert IPV were perceived as legal limitations. Conclusions IPV is a considerable health burden, varying in its presentation and its negative impact on women’s health. Improved laws should provide justice for all victims. Establishing a women’s network to assist women at risk of violence, should be emphasised. Unwise HIV test result disclosure leads to IPV; hence HIV disclosure should be facilitated through health care providers.
