Abstract

Creative Nursing Volume 32 Issue 2 introduced critical qualitative research as part of the series on Critical Approaches for Nursing Research. This third article continues the series by offering an overview of critical mixed methods research (cMMR). As nurse researchers increasingly recognize the limitations of single-method inquiry for addressing complex equity issues, cMMR offers a powerful approach that integrates qualitative and quantitative methodologies through a critical lens. Drawing on two recently proposed frameworks (Hernandez-Johnson and Bendixen's 11-phase process and Younas, Kvist, and Stolt's conceptual framework), this article outlines the philosophical foundations, core features, and practical considerations for designing and conducting cMMR in nursing. The next editorial in the series will address queer research methods.
