|
|
Qualitative reseach |
|
|
3 distinct QUALITATIVE traditions |
|
|

focused on lived experiences ex. Student Nurse's lack of sleep, weight gain/ loss |
|
Ethnography |

Research Process |
|
|
(Formulating the research )PICO |
P-Patient, population, or Problem of interest I- Intervention or therapy to consider for subject of interest C- Comparison of interventions, such as no tx O- Outcome of Intervention *PICOD=Design *PICOS=Setting *PICOT=Timeframe |
|
Dependent variable |
a behavior, characteristic, or outcome that the researcher wishes to explain or predict |
|
Independent variable |
is the presumed cause of or influence on the dependent variable |
|
Hypothesis |
a predictive statement about the relationship between 2 or more variables |
|
Methodology |
thought of as the study's logistics or mechanics -elements- how study is organized -who/ what will be the source of info. -what data will be collected etc. |
|
Research design |
Overall structure, blueprint, layout of the study
|
|
Reliability |
the consistency of measures |
|
Validity |
the completeness and conceptual accuracy of measures |
|
CINAHL |
Cumulative Index of Nursing Health Literature |
|
Descriptive Statistics: Measures of Central Tendency |
Mean- the arithmetic average for a set of scores. Mean is calculated by summing all scores and dividing by the # of scores Median- the middle value in a distribution of scores or the value above and below which 50% of the scores lie Mode- the most common or frequently occurring value in a data set |
|
Descriptive Statistics: Measures ofVariability |
Range- the difference or span between the lowest and highest value for a variable Standard deviation- the average amount by which a single score in a distribution deviates or differs from the mean score |
|
Commonly used Inferential Statistics |
Independent t-test- used to compare the mean performance of 2 independent groups (ex. men and women) Dependent (or paired) t- test- used to compare the mean performance of 2 dependent or related groups (such as a before and after test given to the same individuals) Analysis of Variance(ANOVA)- used to compare the mean performance of 3 or more groups Pearson's product-moment correlation coefficient (Pearson's r)- used to describe and test the relationship between two continuous variables (ex. age and weight) Chi-squared- used to compare the distribution of a condition across 2 or more groups. |
|
Scientific validation |
a thorough critique of a study for its conceptual and methodological integrity. Scrutinizing the overall quality of its findings |
|
Comparative analysis |
Assessing study findings for their implementation potential. 3 factors: 1-how the study's findings compare to the findings from other studies about the problems; 2- how the study's findings will transfer from the research conditions to the clinical practice conditions in which they will be used; 3- practical or feasibility considerations that need to be addressed when applying the findings in practice |
|
Cost-benefit analysis |
involves consideration of the potential risks and benefits of both implementing a change based on a study's findings and not implementing a change |
|
Nurse's working directly with clients can make particularly valuable contributions to research projects |
|
|
Institutional Review Board (IRB) |
Relevant committee designated to protect human subjects' rights. |
|
Rights of Study Participants |
