Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Quantitative and qualitative research approaches complement each other because they generate different kinds of nursing knowledge useful in practice.
Neither type of study is particularly easy to implement; all methods take significant effort.
Qualitative research is process oriented. Qualitative research focuses on the holistic view of the phenomenon under study.
All research requires resources, some more than others, but related to the particular study, not the type of study. Typically the generation of an extensive literature review occurs early in the research process for quantitative studies, and later in qualitative studies, because of the nature of their processes.
