Abstract

Several researchers combine qualitative and quantitative methods. This is also the situation within nurse education research and nursing research. There are various forms to combine qualitative and quantitative methods, one is called sequential method, a method the authors of this article have experience with. This article aims to give the reader an introduction to mixed methods, including possibilities and challenges different mixed methods design provides. Finally, we will briefly describe opportunities and challenges authors experienced by applying sequential design in their own studies and how the challenges were solved. The goal is to contribute to enhanced understanding among those who want to use mixed methods.
