chapter 2 Flashcards
is referred to as pure research or event bench research.
basic research (pure)
is called practical research, which includes scientific investigations conducted to generate knowledge that will directly influence or improve clinical practice.
applied research (practical)
Attempts to solve real problems in clinical practice
Studies the effects the intervention may have on patients
Applies findings in the real world on real patients
is the striving for excellence in research
rigor
Why is rigor so important in quantitative research?
Striving for Excellence in research and adherence to detail
Precise measurement tools, a representative sample, and a tightly controlled study design
Logical reasoning is essential.
Precision, accuracy, detail, and order required
involves imposing of rules by researchers to decrease the possibility of error, thereby increasing the probability that the studies findings are an accurate reflection of reality
control
These occur in all research studies. They may interfere with the hypothesized relationships between variables. The influence of extraneous variables can be decreased through sample selection and the use of defined research settings.
Extraneous variables
What concepts are relevant to the qualitative research process?
basic research
applied research
rigor
control
extraneous variables
sampling
What types of settings are used in quantitative research?
Natural or field settings (Examples: Home Playground
Partially controlled settings (Examples: Community Clinic
Highly controlled or laboratory settings (Examples: Research units, laboratory
