Research Practice

Question 1

What is EBP?

Answer 1

Evident based practice

3 components involve: clinical expertise, external scientific evidence, and client/patient/caregiver perspectives

Question 2

Epistemology

Answer 2

Study of nature and foundation of knowledge
Method of tenacity
Method of authority
Method of intuition
Method of science

Question 3

Method of tenacity

Answer 3

“Fixing belief” -a person hold on to whatever belief they already hold and reject whatever belief they already reject

Question 4

Method of authority

Answer 4

Accepting knowledge from institution

Question 5

Method of intuition

Answer 5

Pure reason-whatever sounds good or wha t ever suit them

Question 6

Method is science

Answer 6

To know. Not provable but sounds reasonable.

Gain new knowledge via scientific research, thru empiricism and rationalism

Question 7

Empiricism

Answer 7

Knowledge gain through experience and evidence. Rely on Inductive reasoning
Use evidence from particular case to make interferences about general principles.
“Harold is bald, therefore he’s a grandfather”

Question 8

Rationalism

Answer 8

Knowledge must be gained through the exercise of logical thoughts. Rely on deductive reasoning-
E.g. All plants need sunlight. This rose bush is a plant, therefore, this rose bush need sunlight

Question 9

Scientific method

Answer 9

Recognition of the problem
Collect data thru observation or experiment
Draw conclusion based on analysis of data
Testing, rather than proving and let data lead wherever they will

Question 10

Basic research

Answer 10

Developer of knowledge. Provide foundation for practice solution. Theoretical support
Fills in the knowledge we don’t have

Question 11

Applied research

Answer 11

Solve problem of immediate consequence. Seek answer in the real world and to solve problem

Question 12

Two types of empirical research: descriptive and experimental

Answer 12

Descriptive research: describe the situation
use to describe characteristic of the population or phenomenon to be studies. It does not answer question about how, when, why the characteristic occurred. Some example are case studies.

Question 13

Experimental research

Answer 13

Examines causation thru observation of the consequence of manipulating certain variable

Question 14

Scientific theory

Answer 14

Statement formulated to explain phenomena. Established thru empirical and rational inquiry. Empirical facts are meaningless without theoretical framework.

Question 15

Theory

Answer 15

Reperesnatation of data to identify and outline cause and effect

Question 16

Rationalism

Answer 16

Knowledge gain thru exercise of logic thought. Use deductive reasoning
“Apple is a fruit. Granny apple is an apple, therefore it is a fruit”
Make interferences about a specific cases

Question 17

Scientific method

Answer 17

Recognize the problem can be study objectively
Collect data thru observation or experiment
Draw conclusion base on analysis of data

Question 18

Basic research

Answer 18

Development of knowledge
Provide broad base of knowledge. Theoretical support
Basic research is research that fills in the knowledge we don’t have; it tries to learn things that aren’t always directly applicable or useful immediately.

Question 19

Applied research

Answer 19

Solve problem of immediate consequence.
Clinical research
Applied research is research that seeks to answer a question in the real world and to solve a problem.

Question 20

Some scientific theories model are useful to test, generate to control or predict phenomena

Answer 20

May be physical model ( cadaver, plastic animals)
Conceptual (pyscholingualistic model of language)
Computational ( mathematical model-can be used to constructed computer stimulation)

Question 21

Scientific paradigm

Answer 21

A group of prominent theories and collective way to identify problems and investigation

Question 22

5 components of sound theory

Answer 22

Accountability-data with in domain
Explanatory relevance-
Testibility- must be verifiable and falsifiable
Predict-
Parisominious-should adopt fewest set of assumption

Question 23

When conducting scientific research, the general framework

Answer 23

Statement of problem
Method
Result
Conclusion
