A mixed-methods approach combines qualitative and quantitative research methodologies to provide a comprehensive understanding of complex social phenomena in healthcare. This leverages the strengths both address questions that cannot be fully answered by single method. While data offer measurable patterns generalizability, provides critical insights into human experiences, cultural contexts, systemic factors underlie these patterns, such elements are often missed purely statistical analyses. Notably, components can uncover why interventions succeed or fail real-world settings, adding explanatory power results. By integrating numerical analysis with in-depth contextual insights, enables researchers explore, explain, generalize findings healthcare settings more holistically than either method could achieve alone.
