Rouleau et al. (2019) conducted a qualitative study on the nursing practice in support of people living with HIV (PLWH) and their adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART). A total of sixteen nurses participated in the study, where nine nurses were part of a focus group and the remaining seven were interviewed individually. The nurses who participated in the focus group were excluded from participating in the individual interviews. The focus group nurses were part of a convenience sampling strategy, that was broad in nature, with no specific parameters as to who could participate. The focus group was planned as an activity that was part of a 1-day meeting held by an HIV mentoring program. Whereas the sampling for nurses that were selected for the interviews was more focused and certain parameters needed to be met according to the needs of the study. These nurses were selected using a combination of maximum variation strategy and purposive sampling. The purposive parameters included French-speaking nurses who worked with PLWH and wished to reflect on their practice whereas the maximum variation strategy warranted a heterogeneous sample that was extensive in choosing nurses from various nursing practice settings as well as various nurse profiles (Rouleau et al., 2019).
