    En este artículo se propone el uso combinado del Análisis Comparado Cualitativo (Qualitative Comparative Analysis – QCA) y el Análisis de Redes Sociales (SNA) cómo estrategia metodológica para la investigación. De tal modo de ilustrar esta combinación, se demuestra la utilidad de su uso a través de su aplicación en el marco de una investigación sobre las redes de soporte de jubilados/as en Santiago de Chile. Los resultados indican que al evaluar la satisfacción de las personas mayores con respecto a sus pensiones, es necesario incorporar variables sobre sus relaciones personales dado que influyen en ello. Se concluye que le uso de esta estrategia, al ser una aproximación de métodos mixtos, ayuda en la incorporación de lo relacional en las investigaciones sociales.

    This article proposes the combined use of Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) and Social Network Analysis (SNA) as a methodological strategy for research. In such a way as to illustrate this combination, the usefulness of its use is demonstrated through its application within the framework of an investigation on the support networks of retirees in Santiago de Chile. The results indicate that when evaluating the satisfaction of the elderly with respect to their pensions, it is necessary to incorporate variables about their personal relationships since they influence it. It is concluded that the use of this strategy, being a mixed methods approach, helps in the incorporation of the relational in social research.
