| Abstract |
Mixed methods (MM) research involves the use of quantitative and qualitative approaches to data collection and analysis within a single study or series of studies. Much has been written about MM research; yet, the extent to which MM research is used in the fields of speech-language pathology and audiology (SLPA) is unknown. The primary objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of MM research in the SLPA literature. A review of published research papers in four journals was conducted and studies that met initial criteria were further analyzed to determine the use of MM designs. MM research is infrequently published in the journals of SLPA reviewed in this study (i.e., less than 1.2% prevalence rate). Although reasons for the low prevalence are unclear, it is anticipated that the use of MM designs will increase in the coming years. Les méthodes de recherche mixtes (MRM) font appel à des approches quantitatives et qualitatives pour la collecte et l’analyse des données au sein d’une étude ou d’une série d’études. On a beaucoup écrit sur les MRM ; cependant, on ne sait pas dans quelle mesure les MRM sont utilisées dans les domaines de l’orthophonie et de l’audiologie. L’objectif de cette étude était de déterminer la prévalence des MRM dans la littérature consacrée à l’orthophonie et à l’audiologie. Un examen des rapports de recherches dans quatre revues a été effectué et les études qui répondaient aux critères initiaux furent analysées pour déterminer l’utilisation des MRM. Les MRM ne sont pas publiées souvent dans les revues d’orthophonie et d’audiologie examinées dans cette étude (c.-à-d., un taux de prévalence de moins de 1,2 %). Si les raisons de cette faible prévalence restent obscures, on s’attend à ce que l’usage de MRM dans les études augmente au cours des prochaines années. |
