Abstract

Abstract:

Mixed methods research is a third research paradigm that integrates qualitative and quantitative research. By combining the advantages of qualitative and quantitative research and analyzing specific problems more widely and deeply, it can increase the universality of research results and is applicable to study complex problems. At present, the application of mixed method in domestic medical research is still in the early stage, and there is no unified standard in the reporting specifications. The Mixed Methods Article Reporting Standard (MMARS) is one of the Journal Article Reporting Standards (JARS). This paper comprehensively introduces MMARS and interpret MMARS through example applications, in order to provide reference for improving the quality of reporting.

Key words: Mixed methods research, Integration, Reporting standards, Case interpretation, Methodology

摘要：

混合方法研究是整合定性和定量研究的第三种研究范式，通过结合定性和定量研究的优势，更广、更深入地分析特定问题，能够增加研究结果的普适性，适用于研究复杂的问题。目前，国内医学研究对混合方法的应用尚处于初期阶段，在报告规范上尚无统一标准。混合方法研究报告标准（MMARS）属于系列期刊文章报告标准（JARS）之一。本文旨在全面介绍MMARS，并通过实例应用进行MMARS的解读，为提高报告质量提供参考。
