Background: Clinical trial is being conducted to assess the safety, efficacy and/or dosage regimen of a drug or therapeutic intervention in human subjects which are carefully selected on predetermined criteria. On the other hand, qualitative research is open-ended focuses on the depth of understanding of issues that are beyond the scope of quantitative analysis. Although, quantitative method is predominated in clinical research; over the past decade qualitative approach is being recognized for its value and unique contributions and is increasingly incorporated in clinical research. The combination of these two approaches in a single study is referred as Mixed Method design. Herein, we aim to explore the major challenges and pitfalls in conducting clinical trials with mixed method approach. Materials and methods: We reviewed the published literature in English language through the research engines (PubMed and Google Scholar) involving clinical trials/studies with mixed method approach to look for the potential challenges and issues identified during the conduct of mixed method research (MMR). Results: There are various issues in conducting clinical trials with mixed methods approach as it is time consuming, requires expertise, skills and methodological training for both quantitative and qualitative research. Also, there are a number of challenges observed while conducting MMR, such as obtaining informed consent, safety events reporting, data retrieval, study documentation, data confidentiality and storage, inappropriate integration and interpretation of the data as well as incorrect ordering, preferences and objective of each method. Conclusion: Use of hybrid approach in clinical trial can provide deeper understanding and insights of research question with higher validity and reliability. MMR has certain challenges which can be overcome by in-depth methodological training and collaboration. Therefore, strong collaboration between clinical and social scientists in necessary to design a competitive funding grant for mixed method research. Finally, integration and implementation of MMR is crucial for conducting pragmatic trials.

Penelitian ini dilaksanakan di Gugus Kepulauan Salabangka Kecamatan Bungku Selatan   Kabupaten Morowali Propinsi Sulawesi Tengah, pada bulan Juli 2016 sampai dengan Agustus 2016. Lokasi penelitian dipilih secara purposif dengan pertimbangan bahwa Gugus Kepulauan Salabangka Kecamatan Bungku Selatan Kabupaten Morowali penduduknya umumnya bermata pencaharian sebagai nelayan dan memiliki jumlah penduduk miskin yang terbanyak di Kabupaten Morowali. Penelitian ini bertujuan melakukan kajian terhadap faktor-faktor penyebab kemiskinan di Gugus Kepulauan Salabangka Kecamatan Bungku Selatan Kabupaten Morowali Provinsi Sulawesi Tengah. Sementara kegunaan yang diharapkan alam penelitian adalah tersedianya data dan informasi factor- factor penyebab kemiskinan yang dapat digunakan oleh berbagai pihak dalam menyusun model pemberdayaan masyarakat nelayan dalam penenggulangan kemiskinan di Kabupaten Morowali. Penelitian ini didesain dengan menggunakan mixed method approach, dengan menggabungkan Quantitative and Qualitative Research Designs secara simultan. Sedangkan Qualitative Research Design menggunakan metode Focus Group Discussion (FGD). Pendekatan ini dilakukan untuk memperoleh data dan informasi yang komprehensif dan saling melengkapi, sehingga situasi riel di lapangan dapat dideskripsikan dengan baik. Adapun proses tahapan penelitian ini adalah Review literature, Kunjungan Lapangan, Uji kuisioner dan FGD, pengumpulan data primer dan sekunder. Hasil Penelitian  menunjukkan bahwa beberapa faktor yang mennyebabkan kemiskinan di Gugus Kepulauan Salabangka Kecamatan Bungku Selatan Kabupaten Morowali Provinsi Sulawesi Tengah adalah Keadaan Musim, Struktur Sosial, Pengelolaan Pendapatan, Pencemaran Lingkungan dan Pelayanan Pemerintah dibidang pemerintahan, pendidikan, kesehatan dan sarana prasarana tranportasi.Guna mengentaskan kemiskinan maka direkomendasikan 1) Pengembangan ekonomi kerakyatan berbasis potensi lokal, 2) Perbaikan pelayanan pemerintah dalam bidang pemerintahan, pendidikan, kesehatan dan penyediaan sarana transportasi laut. Kata Kunci : Nelayan, Kemiskinan, Pulau

Method Approach

This article presents the basics of mixed-method research as a distinct methodology that uses both quantitative and qualitative research methods to create empirical research. The method of this study is a review. Through a substantive review, this paper explains the basic idea of a mixed method approach. The article identifies the main components of the mixed-method approach, provides examples, and describes how to conduct mixed-method research. A quantitative study involves collecting, identifying, and analyzing data. A qualitative study uses interviews or focus groups. An integration of both approaches helps a better understanding of the issue. This study brings out the role of mixed-method research to assess further approaches in future research practices. The combination of qualitative and quantitative research will enable a broader reach in empirical studies.

Method Approach

Propaganda researchers study systematic attempts to influence audience perceptions and behaviors. This area of scholarship is intrinsically interdisciplinary, with findings emerging from such fields as anthropology, art, communication, computer science, history, psychology, and sociology. Some propaganda scholars measure outcomes, while others analyze themes, techniques, and campaign strategies without making claims about audience effects. Quantitative and qualitative research methods are commonly used, with many scholars incorporating a mixed-method approach.

BackgroundCommunity multidisciplinary teams (MDTs) represent a model of integrated care comprising health, social care, and the voluntary sector where members work collaboratively to coordinate care for those patients most at risk.AimThe evaluation will answer the question, ‘What are the enablers and what are the restrictors to the embedding of the case study MDT into the routine practice of the health and social care teams involved in the project?’MethodThe MDT was evaluated using a mixed-method approach with normalisation process theory as a methodological tool. Both quantitative and qualitative data were gathered through a questionnaire consisting of the NoMAD survey followed by free-form questions.ResultsThe concepts of the MDT were generally clear, and participants could see the potential benefits of the programme, though this was found to be lower in GPs. Certain professionals, particularly mental health and nursing professionals, found it difficult to integrate the MDT into normal working patterns because of a lack of resources. Participants also felt there was a lack of training for MDT working. A lack of awareness of evidence supporting the programme was shown particularly within management, GP, and nursing roles.ConclusionSpecific recommendations have been made in order to improve the MDT under evaluation. These include adjustments to IT systems and meeting documentation, continued education as to the purpose of the MDT, and the engagement of GPs to enable better buy-in. Recommendations were made to focus the agenda with specialist attendance when necessary, and to expand the MDT remit, particularly in mental health and geriatrics.
