Q

what is an example of quantitative research?

A

doing a research study based on 2 groups:

Q

what are limitations of the strict definition of the scientific method in nursing?

A

quantitative research is less helpful in nursing because we don’t study problems in the lab
- ex: nursing is more interested in holistic because it is harder to do an experience

Q

what is the Institute of Review Board (IRB)?

A

to protect participants in research
- after doing a research proposal it has to go through IRB for them to review it to make it ethical to protect participants before conducting the research

Q

what is problem solving?

A

identifying the problem and developing an action plan
very different than research
- ex: a patient with Alzheimer’s disease wanders around and can’t find her room. a problem-solving approach is taping a picture of her daughter on the door

21
Q

what is identification of a researchable problem?

A

where do problems come from
- come from 3 areas: clinical, literature, theories
replicate: to repeat
- repeat research in other areas

22
Q

what is review of the literature?

A

only looking at literature that is published 5 years or less
need to use current information

23
Q

what is formulation of the research question or hypothesis?

A

comes from clinical, literature, and theory

24
Q

what is an example of formulation of the research question or hypothesis?

A

Ex: Do ICU patients have vital signs in the normal range more frequently when they are being visited by family members?
- We need to conduct a research study- look at vital signs where family members are visiting and look at vital signs from family members not visiting

25
Q

what is experimental design?

A

cause and effect
there are 2 groups: test group and a control group

26
Q

what is an example of experimental design?

A

Is there a difference in the effectiveness of the two preoperative preparation methods on length of stay?
- test group: the preop teaching through virtual methods (interactive)
- control group: we use a traditional method where we bring them into a room and teach them
- compare them and see which outcome has on length of stay

27
Q

what is nonexperimental design?

A

looks at RELATIONSHIPS among variables
more of a descriptive study

28
Q

what is an example of nonexperimental design?

A

what is the RELATIONSHIP between self-concept, physical fitness, and health habits in school aged children?

29
Q

what is data-collection instruments?

A

reliable: what is the accuracy of this tool
- by looking at the literature/articles
valid: measuring on what it’s supposed to measure

30
Q

what is data collection protocol?

A

once you become an RN you will collect data for research studies (follow the protocol exactly the way they tell you)

31
Q

what is an example of data collection protocol?

A

working on an oncology unit, they will tell you to collect your data 2 days after the patient’s chemotherapy EXACTLY the way they tell you. if you do it early or late you can introduce errors in the study (which won’t be valid/not getting accurate information)

32
Q

what is data analysis plan?

A

having to come up with a plan to analyze your data by using quantitative (statistics) and qualitative (interview/record)

33
Q

what is participant selection?

A

must be very specific in the research proposal on what participants you will and will not be including

34
Q

what are examples of participant selection?

A

including people that go through a specific type of surgery
certain age/sex/ethnic group
geographical location

35
Q

what is informed consent?

A

where we tell patients the details of the study
- voluntary: can’t pressure anyone to take this study

36
Q

what is confidentiality?

A

privacy: no names can’t be revealed
- the primary person who is responsible is the person conducting the study

37
Q

what are two implementations of the study?

A

data collection
data analysis

38
Q

in data collection, who is responsible for the confidentiality of the study?

A

the person who is collecting the data

39
Q

what is data analysis?

A

conducting data through statistics, interviewing, recording, and using software to develop things

40
Q

what is findings?

A

part of the article that is presented directly to the research question

41
Q

what is discussion?

A

find suggestions for any future research
- a great place to conduct research studies

42
Q

what is clinical implications?

A

how we can find the findings of this particular study to the clinical setting

43
Q

what is dissemination of findings?

A

communicate with the findings to your colleagues
- ex: podium presentations, posters, through journals

44
Q

what is peer review?

A

when you submit an article, there is no identifying information on that article (all info has to be removed)
- will go through 3 people to provide you feedback

45
Q

what is abstract?

A

when you need to find research
a summary of the research

46
Q

what is financial support for nursing research?

A

places to finance/get money to conduct research
- universities
- hospitals
- through sigma
- National Institute of nursing research

47
Q

what is a nursing student through the use of research?

A

learning about research
- doing honors projects or assisting in laboratories

48
Q

what is a BSN through the use of research?

A

identifies problems that can be studied
- may do data collection for research studies

49
Q

what is MSN through the use of research?

A

replicates earlier research
- beginning independent research

50
Q

what is DNP through the use of research?

A

connect research to practice
- do research in collaboration with a PhD- prepared colleague

51
Q

what is a PhD through the use of research?

A

generate and test theories
