- Abstract
Nursing paradigm has been traditionally criticized by the hegemonic model of Biomedical Sciences, and from this sight qualitative research has been thought to be rather subjective, low-rigour, and impact-limited. However, when the main challenge of the nursing researcher is to achieve human illness experiences in-depth explanations, qualitative & quantitative mixed methods have demonstrated their accuracy on evidence-based practice development. Qualitative research offers necessary tools to achieve results other instruments are unable to discover. Qualitative methods must be understood as a fundamental means to improve knowledge about patient suffering, high effectiveness interventions goals, and their impact on patients' quality of life.
