Abstract
Research methodologies that use a variety of data sources are frequently used to provide rich, often complex, sets of data (or evidence) necessary to answer complex research questions concerned with person-centredness. Indeed, multiple and mixed methods research can be applied within a person-centred theoretical context to answer questions that pursue person-centredness including developing our understanding about nursing practice. This chapter adopts a case study approach to focus on the distinct nature and application of multiple and mixed methods, building on previous chapters in this book.
