What is it about?

This paper presents and discusses the relevance of integrating different qualitative research methodologies to explore healthcare-related problems. In particular, the paper discusses how institutional ethnography, interpretive phenomenology, and critical discourse study methodologies can be combined to study patient rights in nurse-patient communication and interaction in the hospital setting.

Why is it important?

The methodological approach advanced in this paper is crucial because healthcare problems are complex and require interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary qualitative research approaches to understand and resolve. By advocating and demonstrating methodological integration in a Ph.D. research project, we invite qualitative health researchers to dialogue with and implement this approach to research.

Perspectives

The research approach espoused in this paper is novel, complicated, and exciting to implement. Therefore, we hope that other qualitative researchers in health will play with, advance, and challenge this methodological approach to inquiry.
