Abstract

Although integration is a crucial element of mixed methods research (MMR), most MMR quality frameworks have not comprehensively addressed integration in their criteria. These frameworks tend to focus on whether integration is present, without considering important aspects such as the rigor of the integration processes used or their consistency with the other components of the MMR study. This paper presents the Mixed Methods Integration Quality Framework (MMIQF), which was developed based on a methodological review of the literature on integration in MMR. The proposed framework is intended to be useful to authors and readers of MMR studies who wish to ensure and appraise the appropriate implementation of integration in the design, conduct, and reporting of MMR studies.

建立评估混合方法研究整合质量的框架

尽管整合是混合方法研究（MMR）的一个关键要素，但大多数混合方法研究质量框架在其标准中并未全面涉及整合问题。这些框架往往只关注是否存在整合，而不考虑所使用的整合过程的严谨性或与 MMR 研究其他组成部分的一致性等重要方面。本文介绍了混合方法整合质量框架（MMIQF），该框架是在对有关多指标类比整合的文献进行方法学回顾的基础上制定的。建议的框架旨在为希望确保和评估在设计、开展和报告 MMR 研究时适当实施整合的 MMR 研究作者和读者提供帮助。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Mixed Methods Research serves as a premiere outlet for ground-breaking and seminal work in the field of mixed methods research. Of primary importance will be building an international and multidisciplinary community of mixed methods researchers. The journal''s scope includes exploring a global terminology and nomenclature for mixed methods research, delineating where mixed methods research may be used most effectively, creating the paradigmatic and philosophical foundations for mixed methods research, illuminating design and procedure issues, and determining the logistics of conducting mixed methods research. JMMR invites articles from a wide variety of international perspectives, including academics and practitioners from psychology, sociology, education, evaluation, health sciences, geography, communication, management, family studies, marketing, social work, and other related disciplines across the social, behavioral, and human sciences.
