Q

PICOT

A

Population, intervention, comparison, outcome, time

22
Q

Activities in a qualitative study

A
  1. Conceptualizing and planning
  2. Conducting study
  3. Disseminating findings
23
Q

The abstract or theoretical meaning of a concept being studied (definition of caring)

A

Conceptual

24
Q

The operations (measurements) a researcher must perform to collect the desired info (weight vs. anxiety)

A

Operational

25
Q

Informed consent

A

Participants have adequate info about research and can comprehend that info, free choice in deciding whether to participate in or withdrawal from study

26
Q

Purpose of a research critique

A

Careful and objective appraisals of the strengths and limitations of a study, not a summary
-Done for student assignments, making decisions about whether or not to publish a manuscript, EBP purposes

27
Q

Intro section

A

Description of central phenomena, concepts, or variables, study purpose, research ?s, hypotheses, review of lit, framework, study significance

28
Q

Method section

A

Describes methods used to answer research questions

29
Q

Results section

A

Presents the findings that were obtained by analyzing the study data

30
Q

Discussion section

A

Interpretation of results, implications for nursing practice and further research, study limitations

31
Q

Hypotheses

A

States an expectation, should almost always involve two or more variables, must contain terms that indicate a relationship, articulated almost exclusively in quantitative studies, tested through statistical procedures

32
Q

Directional hypothesis

A

Predicts the direction of a relationship

33
Q

Nondirectional hypothesis

A

Predicts the existence of a relationship, not its direction

34
Q

Research hypothesis

A

States the actual prediction of a relationship

35
Q

Null hypothesis

A

Expresses the absence of a relationship (used only in statistical testing)

36
Q

A detailed outline of how an investigation will take place

A

Research design

37
Q

Can compare different population groups at a single point in time

A

Cross-sectional study

38
Q

Researchers conduct several observations of the same subjects over a period of time, sometimes lasting many years.

A

Longitudinal study

39
Q

A statistical method of drawing representative data by selecting people because of the ease of their volunteering or selecting units because of their availability or easy access.

A

Convenience sampling

40
Q

Existing study subjects recruit future subjects from among their acquaintances

A

Snowball sampling

41
Q

Commonly called a judgmental sample, is one that is selected based on the knowledge of a population and the purpose of the study.

A

Purposive sampling

42
Q

Process of data collection for generating theory whereby the analyst jointly collects codes and analyses data and decides what data to collect next and where to find them, in order to develop a theory as it emerges.

A

Theoretical sampling

43
Q

Important aspect of experimental design. It allows us to determine the sample size required to detect an effect of a given size with a given degree of confidence. Conversely, it allows us to determine the probability of detecting an effect of a given size with a given level of confidence, under sample size constraints. If the probability is unacceptably low, we would be wise to alter or abandon the experiment.

A

Power analysis

44
Q

The confidence that we can place in the cause and effect relationship in a scientific study.

A

Internal validity

45
Q

The extent to which results of a study can be generalized to the world at large

A

External validity

46
Q

The appropriateness of inferences made on the basis of observations or measurements (often test scores), specifically whether a test measures the intended construct.

A

Construct validity

47
Q

The conclusion reached or inference drawn about the extent of the relationship between the two variables

A

Statistical validity

48
Q

Interference by a third variable so as to distort the association being studied between two other variables, because of a strong relationship with both of the other variables.

A

Confounding variable

49
Q

Open, allowing new ideas to be brought up during the interview as a result of what the interviewee says.

A
