Quiz 1 Flashcards
Results or inferences that systematically deviate from the truth ‘or the processes leading to such deviation
Bias
The abstract for an article says: we examined the association between regular exercise and low back pain over a five year period. What is the most likely study design A. Case study B. Cohort study C. RCT D. N=1 clinical trial
B. cohort study
A prospective epidemiologic research design used to evaluate the relationship between a potential exposure (e.g., risk factor) and an outcome (e.g., disease or disorder); two groups of subjects-one of which has the exposure and one of which does not-are monitored over time to determine who develops the outcome and who does not
cohort design
The inability or restricted ability to perform actions, tasks, and activities related to required self-care, home management, work (job/school/play), community, and leisure roles in the individual’s sociocultural context and physical environment
disability (Nagi model)
types of observational studies
- cohort design
2. case control
depicts the clinical aspects of a patients/clients situation, as well as social context that shapes perceptions of health, wellness, illness, and disability for each individual
disablement model
uneven weighing of likelihood based on therapist fear
i.e. “don’t want to miss it” “won’t do, too risky”
value bias
Alterations in the anatomical, physiological or psychological structures or functions that both (1) result from underlying changes in the normal state and (2) contribute to illness
impairment (Nagi model)
types of experimental studies
randomized control trials
Evidence Based Practice
the integration of the best research, clinical expertise, and patient values
Background question
normal physiology or behavior, pathophysiology, or basic patient diagnostic and treatment information
Foreground question
selection and interpretation of diagnostic tests or clinical measures, prediction of specific patient, prognosis, comparative risks and benefits of various treatment strategies, potential outcomes and their measurement
A retrospective epidemiologic research design used to evaluate the relationship between a potential exposure (e.g., risk factor) and an outcome (e.g., disease or disorder); two groups of subjects-one of which has the outcome (i.e., the case) and one which does not (i.e., the control)-are compared to determine which group has a greater proportion of individuals with the exposure
case control design
A detailed description of the management of a patient/client that may serve as the basis for future research
case report
A description of the management of several patients/clients for the same purposes as a case report; the use of multiple individuals increases the potential importance of the observations as the basis for future research
case series
A research design in which the behavior of randomly assigned groups of subjects is measured following the purposeful manipulation of an independent variable(s) in at least one of the groups; used to examine cause-and-effect relationships between an independent variable(s) and an outcome
experimental design
A statistical method used to pool data from individual studies included in a systematic review
meta-analysis
A research design in which controlled manipulation of the subjects is lacking1; in addition, if groups are present, assignment is predetermined based on naturally occurring subject characteristics or activities
observational design
A research design that follows subjects forward over a specified period of time
prospective design
A clinical study that uses a randomization process to assign subjects to either an experimental group(s) or a control (or comparison) group
experimental group = receive the intervention or preventive measure of interest
control group = comparison group who did not receive the experimental manipulation
randomized control trial
