Idea to presentation Flashcards
How to get started on research?
1) clinical question and literature review
2) study design
3) results
4) discussion of findings
5) summary and conclusion
helps form the purpose of the study
clinical question and literature review
includes method, type of study, and statistical approach
study design
includes application of findings, limitations and future studies
summary and conclusion
case case series case-control retrospective prospective blinded randomized cohort animal clinical trials systematic review meta-analysis
types of studies/ terminology
examples of statistical analysis
p value - a percentage that something did not occur by chance (ie p-value =.05 means 95% did not occur by chance)
confidence interval - has to do with measurement, determines what is normal, variability around the average/normal
- characteristics of design or methodology that impact or influence the application or interpretation of the results of your study.
- constraints on generalizability and utility of findings that are the result of the ways in which you chose to design the study and/or the method used to establish internal and external validity.
Limitation and future recommendations
- an opportunity to make suggestions for further research
- provides you with an opportunity to demonstrate that you have thought critically about the research problem
- claiming limitations is a subjective process because you must evaluate the impact of those limitations. Don’t just list key weaknesses
acknowledgement of study’s limitations
