Jones & Bartlett Learning, LLC. NOT FOR SALE OR DISTRIBUTION. Chapter 3. Quantitative Versus Qualitative research , or Both? Nursing research Worldviews Nursing research falls within the two broad worldviews, the positivist and the naturalistic paradigms. These two worldviews have opposing assumptions about reality and view of the world. For example, in regards to reality, the posi- tivist believes that a single reality exists that can be measured, whereas in the naturalistic paradigm, there are multiple realities that are continually chang- ing, which make it very difficult if not impossible to measure. Other important opposing assumptions are listed in Table 3-1 . The two main types of research methods are Quantitative and Qualitative . Quantitative research aligns with the positivist paradigm, whereas Qualitative research most closely aligns itself with the naturalistic paradigm.
