Q

Are systematic-reviews and meta-analysis considered primary sources?

A

Yes
Because they take the data and make new conclusions and ideas. They are not just analyzing someone elses data and discussing.

28
Q

*Correlational

A

examining the relationships between two variables

Looks at the nature not cause/effect

29
Q

*Types of correlation: Negative

A

One goes up the other goes down

ex/ inc. in the consumption of alcohol and dec. in grade

30
Q

*Types of correlation: Positive

A

One goes up and the other goes up

ex/ inc. in hours slept and inc. in grade

31
Q

*Types of correlation: symetrical

A

?

32
Q

*Types of correlation: Asymmetrical

A

?

33
Q

Five steps of EBP

A
Form a clinical question to identify a problem (PICO)
Gather the best evidence
Analyze the evidence
Apply the evidence to clinical practice
Asses the result
34
Q

PICO(T)

A
Population of interest
Intervention of interest
Comparison of interest
Outcome of interest
Time
35
Q

Steps for conducting a literature review (7)

A

IDENTIFY the research problem
PLAN the information retrieval process
CARRY out the search strategy
SCREEN the initial list f citations
RETRIEVE full text of studies for evaluation
CRITICALLY appraise the studies quality and findings
SUMMARIZE and synthesis the findings

36
Q

Requirements for an experimental study

A

Random sampling
Control group
Control of the intervention

37
Q

What is the purpose of control in a study?

A

To increase the probability that the results are true to reality

38
Q

*Probability sampling types

A

simple random sampling
Stratified random sampling
Cluster sampling
Systematic sampling

39
Q

*Non-probability sampling types

A

Purpose sampling
Network or snowball sampling
Theoretical sampling

40
Q

*Simple random sampling

A

Equivalent to putting names in a hat and picking names out until sample size is reached`

41
Q

*Stratified random sampling

A

Setting categories/variables that are circuital for representatives and randomly selecting people until each categories either has the same number of people or matches the % in the total population

42
Q

*Cluster sampling

A

Developing a list of places in which elements of the identified population can be linked and then using a random selection from the randomly selected places.

ex/ 10 from nursing, 10 from OT, 10 from business.

43
Q

*Systematic sampling

A

Creating a list of the people in some type of order (name, age, id number, ect..) and selecting every ___th one. Needs a random starting place

44
Q

*Convenience sampling

A

participants are included simply because they are in the right place at the right time.

45
Q

*Quota sampling

A

Is convenience sampling with the precaution to be sure populations/participant likely to underepresented are chosen in proportion to what is in the population

46
Q

*Network/snowball sampling

A

I pick one person and then ask them to bring 2 people they know and then those 2 people bring 2 people they know.

47
Q

*Purpose sampling

A

Picking people of a specific person/type.

Used often to qualitative (interviews)

48
Q

*Levels of measurement: Nominal

A

word descriptions

49
Q

*Levels of measurement: Ordinal

A

word description, but has an order/hierarchy

50
Q

*Levels of measurement: Interval

A

Numbers

No absolute zero

51
Q

*Levels of measurement: Ratio

A

Has an absolute zero

comparable

52
Q

Reliability of measure

A

Degree of consistency with which it measures the attribute it is supposed to be measuring

53
Q

*Cronbach’s alpha

A

Test for reliability–homogeneity
.7 = acceptable
.8 = good
.9 = Excellent

Does alpha equal at least .7?

54
Q

*Reliability testing looks at?

A

Stability–same results when the test is repeated
Homogeneity– internal consistency
Equivalence– inter-rater reliability (same results different test)
Generalizbility–

55
Q

Validity

A

Degree to which an instrument measures what it is supposed to measure

not reliability: reliable does not mean its valid

56
Q

*Internal validity

A

will this intervention/independent variable make a change or difference in the dependable variable

57
Q

*External validity (problem?)

A

Are you able to generalize the study to a larger group?

58
Q

*Scales used for measurement?

A

Self-reporting
Visual analog (faces)
Likert (1=strongly agree, 2= agree, ect..)
Observational

59
Q

*Null hypothesis

A

There is no relationship between the (2) things that are being studied.
-typically the opposite of the alternative/researchers hypothesis

60
Q

*P value

A

Measurement of the level of significance
want p<0.05
p<0.05 indicated statistically significance and result were not due to chance

61
Q

Type 1 error

A

positive but really negative (false positive)

null hypothesis rejected but should be accepted
researchers hypothesis accepted should be rejected

ex/ autism/vaccines

62
Q

Type 2 error

A

negative but really positive (false negative)

null hypothesis accepted but should be rejected
researchers hypothesis rejected should be accepted
