Chapter 2 - Understanding Nursing Research
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Abstract (pg 44) | Expressed without reference to any specific instance. |
| Applied (practical) Research (pg 27) | Scientific investigations conducted to generate knowledge that will directly influence clinical practice. |
| Assumptions (37) | Statements taken for granted or considered true, even though they have not been scientifically tested. |
| Basic (pure) Research (pg 26) | Scientific investigations for the pursuit of "knowledge for knowledge's sake" or for the pleasure of learning and finding truth. |
| Conceptual Definition (pg 36) | Definition that provides a variable or concept with connotative (abstract, comprehensive, theoretical) meaning; established through concept analysis, concept derivation, or concept synthesis. |
| Control (pg 28) | Writing of a prescription to produce the desired outcomes in practice. In research, the imposing of rules by the researcher to decrease the probablility of error and increase the probability that the study's findings are an accurate reflection of reality. |
| Correlational Research (pg 25) | Systematic investigation of relationships between two or more variables to explain the nature of relationships in the world; does not examine cause and effect. |
| Data analysis (pg 41) | Technique used to reduce, organize, and give meaning to data. |
| Data collection (pg 41) | Identification of subjects and the precise, systematic gathering of information (data) relevant to research purpose or the specific objectives, questions, or hypotheses of a study. |
| Descriptive Research (pg 24) | Research that provides an accurate portrayal or account of characteristics of a particular person, event or group in real-life situations; research that is conducted to discover new meaning, describe what exists, determine the frequency with which someth |
| Design (pg 38) | Blueprint for conducting a study; maimizes control over factors that could interfere with the validity of the findings. |
| Experiment (23) | Procedure in which subjects are randomized into groups, data are collected, and statistical analyses are conducted to support a premise. |
| Experimental Research (25) | Objective, systematic, controlled investigation to examine probability & causality among selected variables for the purpose of predicting and controlling phenomena. |
| Framework (34) | Astract, logical structure of meaning, such as a portion of theory, that guides the development of the study, is tested in the study and enables the researcher to link the findings to nursing body of knowledge. |
| Generalization (37) | Extension of the implications of the findings from the sample or situation that was studied to a larger population or situation. |
| Interpretation of research outcomes (pg 42) | involves examining the results from data analysis, forming conclusions, considering the implications for nursing, exploring the significance of the findings, generalizingthe findings, and suggesting further studies. |
| Limitations (37) | Are restrictions in a study that may decrease the credibility and generalizability of the findings. |
| Methodological Limitation (pg 38) | Can limit the credibility of the findings and restrict the population to which the findings can be generalized. |
| Theoretical Limitation (37) | |
| Literature Review (pg 33) |
