  1. Accounting for complexity in critical realist trials: the promise of PLS-SEM.Heidi Singleton, Sam Porter, John Beavis, Liz Falconer, Jacqueline Priego Hernandez & Debbie Holley - 2023 - Journal of Critical Realism 22 (3):384-403.
    Background: Randomized controlled trials have been criticized for their inability to identify and differentiate the causal mechanisms that generate the outcomes they measure. One solution is the development of realist trials that combine the empirical precision of trials' outcome data with realism's theoretical capacity to identify the powers that generate outcomes. Main Body: We review arguments for and against this position and conclude that critical realist trials are viable. Using the example of an evaluation of the educational effectiveness of virtual (...)

  • Mixed method nursing studies: a critical realist critique.Martin Lipscomb - 2008 - Nursing Philosophy 9 (1):32-45.
    Mixed method study designs are becoming increasingly popular among nurse researchers. Mixed studies can have advantages over single method or methodological investigative designs. However, these advantages may be squandered where researchers fail to think through and justify their theoretic decisions. This paper argues that nurse researchers do not always pay sufficient heed to the philosophic and theoretic elements of research design and, in consequence, some mixed study reports lack argumentative coherence and validity. It is here suggested that Hempel's concept of (...)

  • Understanding health decisions using critical realism: home‐dialysis decision‐making during chronic kidney disease.Lori Harwood & Alexander M. Clark - 2012 - Nursing Inquiry 19 (1):29-38.
    HARWOOD L and CLARK AM. Nursing Inquiry 2012; 19: 29–38 Understanding health decisions using critical realism: home‐dialysis decision‐making during chronic kidney diseaseThis paper examines home‐dialysis decision making in people with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) from the perspective of critical realism. CKD programmes focus on patient education for self‐management to delay the progression of kidney disease and the preparation and support for renal replacement therapy e.g.) dialysis and transplantation. Home‐dialysis has clear health, societal and economic benefits yet service usage is low (...)
