Clinical nursing research
Basic Concepts:
Sources of Evidence
- beliefs are truths
- based on customs
- not always correct
Tradition
Basic Concepts:
Sources of Evidence
- expert in field
- not always correct
Authority
Basic Concepts:

- may be biased
Clinical Experience
Basic Concepts:
Sources of Evidence
- risky, may cause injury
Trial and error
Basic Concepts:
Sources of Evidence
- hunch, instinct
Intuition
Basic Concepts:
Sources of Evidence
What is this Reasoning? Two types: a) \_\_\_\_\_\_\_ reasoning - specific to general b) \_\_\_\_\_\_\_ reasoning - general to specific
Logical Reasoning
Basic Concepts:
Sources of Evidence
- rigorous, systematic, evidence-based
Disciplined Research
What is the difference between Basic and Applied Research?
Basic: increase knowledge (gusto lang malaman)
Applied: find solutions to problems, higher level than basic
What are the 3 types of Variable?
Variable - vary; mga nagbabago
- Independent variable (IV)
- Dependent variable (DV)
- Confounding/Extraneous Variables (CV)
Variable:
- presumed cause (ang dahilan, sanhi, pinanggalingan)
Independent variable (IV)v
Variable:
- presumed effect, aka outcome variable (kinalabasan, resulta, bunga, epekto)
Dependent variable (DV)
Variable:
- contaminating factors
- BAD, extra, epal, not belong

Quantitative Research
Understanding human experience (culture, karanasan)
Flexible, evolving procedures
