Objective: Mixed methods research is viewed as the third methodological movement that has emerged  in response to the limitation use of current (qualitative or quantitative) methods. In recent years, use of these methods is increasing in most fields like health care sciences and especially in nursing. The purpose of this article is to provide researchers learn more about mixed methods studies and  introduction to current typologies that can help researchers in choosing optimum mixed methods research design.
Methods: Purposive library search, electronic resources and data bases was used to gather information to be organized and presented here.
Results: The findings of this study have been presented in the form of introducing a mixed methods research, typology and tips for choosing the suitable design.
Conclusion: There are various designs of mixed studies. Researchers need to be aware of the mixed method typologies and factors affecting the choice of a suitable design
