Research Exam 1
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Parts of a Research Study | Title, abstract, introduction, purpose statement, lit review/theoretical framework, hypothesis/research question, methods, results/findings |
| Parts of Methods of a research study | design, sample, procedures, instruments, ethics |
| Parts of results/findings | data analysis, discussion/conclusions, recommendations, implications, references |
| Key components to EBP | clinical evidence/research; pt preferences; clinical expertise |
| BSN nurse role expectations with respect to nursing research | consumer; team member; producer |
| Research study purpose | aim or goal the researcher hope to achieve; suggest type of design; imply level of evidence to be obtained |
| Research study knowledge development | |
| Conceptual definition | general meaning of a concept |
| Operational definition | the measurements used to observe or measure a variable |
| Empirical definition | obtaining evidence or objective data |
| Quantitative research | numeric data; test hypotheses; describe/test relationships (cause-effect); p value "statistics" |
| Qualitative research | data are words; seeks understanding about meaning of human experience; grounded study; phenomenonology = key words; context |
| Review of literature | to develop strong knowledge base to carry out a research study or an EBP project |
| Review of literature contributes to most steps of the research process | develop conceptual/theoretical framework (primary et secondary sources); problem statement et hypothesis refinement; methodology (design, sample, instruments, procedure); outcome et analysis |
| refereed journals | peer-reviewed, blind review by external reviewer(s); judged c a set of criteria |
| Symbols | |
| Independent variable (IV) | X; the variable that has the presumed effect on the dependent variable (DV); IT IS MANIPULATED (INTERVENTION) OR NOT MANIPULATED (PLACEBO) |
| Dependent variable (DV) | Y; the presumed effect that varies with a change in the IV; NOT MANIPULATED |
| Extraneous variables | characteristics not under study in a particular research project, but which have the potential of affecting the results of the study; a.k.a. confounding variables |
| hypothesis statements | formal statement of the expected relationship(s) b/w 2+ variables in a specified population that suggests an answer to the research question. statement that PREDICTS the outcomes of a study |
| casual hypothesis | cause et effect vs. associative |
| simple hypothesis | relationship b/w 2 variables |
| complex hypothesis | relationship b/w 3+ variables |
| directional hypothesis | states which way the relationship should exist |
| nondirectional hypothesis | states the relationship exists, but no teh direction |
| null (H0) hypothesis | statistical hypothesis |
| research (H1 or Hx) hypothesis | directional or nondirectional; alternative hypothesis |
| feasibility of hypothesis | time, money, expertise, access to subjects, facilities et equipment, is it ethical? |
| wording the hypothesis | variables to be tested; population to be studied; design to be used (may be implied); outcomes predicted |
| Steps of EBP | ask clinical question; systematic search of literature; critical appraisal of the research et synthesis of findings; integrate evidence, clinical expertise et pt preference to implement a decision; evaluate the outcome |
| levels of evidence | level I best evidence |
| PICO format | Pt or pt info (situation); Intervention; comparison; outcome |
| ACE star model | DISCOVERY (RESEARCH); summary; translation; integration; evaluation |
| given a title, determine if an article is conceptual or empirical | |
| given a title, determine if a study is quantitative or qualitative | |
| library techniques (includes journal types, search strategies, databases, etc.) | |
| Boolean connection | and, or, not, near, adjacent |
