Exam 2- Lists and vs. Flashcards
Research designs that use an intervention? (3)
- experimental
- quasi- experi
- random control trial (RCT)
ways to control confounding variable?
- randomization
- crossover
- homogenity
- matching
- statistical control
3 types of causal relationships
- temporal
- relationship
- confounders
3 parts of every RCT
intervention, control group, participants randomly selected
C in PICO options (5)
current practice alternative treatment placebo attention control delayed treatment (*most ethical)
Limitations to RCT (3)
can’t test all interventions, cant randomize all variables, difficult admin approval
quasi experimental characteristics
- intervention
- no control group = comparison group
- no randomization
- offered to everyone in population
- less generalizability
- increase confounding variable
3 types of probability sampling +definition
- simple random-most basic probability sampling and involves using a tool to random select elements from a sampling frame
- stratified random- divides the population into two strata and then randomly selects samples from both strata.
- systematic- chooses to select a specific number such as every 4thperson to use in the sample.
- Probability sampling is the only viable method of obtaining a representative sample
2 types of participant responses to a question
- self report
- patient reported outcome
2 ways to determine effectiveness of tool
- reliability
- validity
characteristics of qualitative design
- emergent design evolves
- flexibility
- triangulation
- holistic
- ongoing data analysis
3 types of info ethnographers seek out
cultural:
behavior
artifacts
speech
3 ways to reduce bias
blinding
randomization
using a script
4 types of STUDY validity
internal
construct
external
statistical
ICES are Valid
characteristics of RCT
intervention
control group
randomized
primary
4 types of NONprobability sampling
consecutive-recruits everyone from an accessible population over a period of time
purposive-researchers handpick sample members based on traits in the population
convenience-most conveniently available people as participants
quota-strata information to figure out how to use a balanced sample
PCCQ
prob vs non prob sampling
PROB
- simple random
- stratified random
- systematic
NON prob
- consecutive
- purposive
- convenience
- quota
4 steps of descriptive phenomenology + definitions
- bracketing-process of identifying and holding in abeyance preconceived beliefs and opinions about the phenomenon understudy (reflexive journaling)
- intuiting-remaining open to the meanings attributed to a phenomenon by those who have experienced it
- analysis-extracting significant statements, categorizing, and making sense of essential meanings
- describing-understanding and defining the phenomenon
interpretive vs descriptive phenomenology (the types of phenom studies)
interp: AID, hermeneutics, understanding human experience, Van Manen, Heidigger, Benner
descrip: BAID, essence, and Husserl, Colaizzi, Van Kaam, Giorgi
2 types of phenomonlogical studies?
interpretive, descriptive
3 resons to used mixed method?
- complimentary
- practicality
- enhanced validity
“When I feel mixed up, I practice complimenting myself enhance my validity “
