AimTo identify mixed methods studies in nursing and midwifery using secondary analysis and to examine their methodological characteristics.DesignMethodological review.MethodsA systematic search was conducted to identify empirical mixed methods studies in nursing and midwifery that used secondary analysis. A data extraction sheet was developed based on previous methodological reviews of secondary analysis and mixed methods.Data SourcesSCOPUS, Web of Science and CINAHL were searched from inception to March 10, 2023. Supplementary searches were conducted in two methodological journals and six nursing journals.ResultsA total of 26 mixed methods studies published between 2000 and 2022 were included in the review. Of these, only 13 studies explicitly mentioned the type of mixed methods design used. Twenty studies showed evidence of integration of the quantitative and qualitative components. Most of these studies integrated the components at the interpretation stage, whereas fewer integrated the components during data collection. None of the studies mentioned the rationale for using secondary analysis in the context of a mixed methods study.ConclusionThe included studies demonstrated fairly good reporting of mixed methods features, although they generally lacked a rationale for the use of secondary data.Implications for the profession and/or patient careAdequate reporting of mixed methods studies using secondary analysis is essential in order to allow readers to assess whether secondary analysis was appropriately incorporated into a mixed methods study and whether the potential of secondary analysis was fully exploited.ImpactThis review provides a set of recommendations to transparently report information regarding the research process and results obtained in mixed methods studies using secondary analysis.Reporting MethodItems relevant to methodological reviews included in the PRISMA Extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA‐ScR) were considered for reporting the review.

护理和助产学中使用二次分析的混合方法研究：方法学评价


目的 使用二次分析确定护理和助产学中的混合方法研究，并检查它们的方法学特征。设计方法学审查。方法进行系统检索，以确定使用二次分析的护理和助产学实证混合方法研究。根据先前对二次分析和混合方法的方法学评价开发了数据提取表。数据来源SCOPUS、Web of Science 和 CINAHL 的检索时间从建库到 2023 年 3 月 10 日。在 2 种方法学期刊和 6 种护理期刊中进行了补充检索。结果本综述共纳入 2000 年至 2022 年间发表的 26 项混合方法研究。其中，只有 13 项研究明确提到了 Design 使用的混合方法类型。20 项研究显示了定量和定性成分整合的证据。这些研究中的大多数在解释阶段整合了组成部分，而较少的研究在数据收集期间整合了组成部分。没有一项研究提到在混合方法研究的情况下使用二次分析的基本原理。结论纳入的研究证明了混合方法特征的报告相当好，尽管它们通常缺乏使用二手数据的基本原理。对专业和/或患者护理的影响使用二次分析对混合方法研究进行充分报告至关重要，以便让读者评估二次分析是否被适当地纳入混合方法研究，以及二次分析的潜力是否得到充分利用。影响本综述提供了一组建议，以透明地报告有关研究过程的信息以及使用二次分析在混合方法研究中获得的结果。报告方法 考虑报告综述时，考虑与 PRISMA 范围综述扩展 （PRISMA-ScR） 中包含的方法学综述相关的项目。
