research test 1
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| evidence baed practice is based on | research evidence |
| three major sources for indentifying reports of research | printed indexes, the internet, electronic databases |
| what are/is organized by topic or author | printed indexes |
| examples of an electronic database | pubmed and cinahl and ovid |
| the systematic gatering of information to gain, expand, or validate knowledge about health and responses to health problems | nursing research |
| systematic | planned and organized |
| knowledge | what is understood and recognized about a subject |
| published report that identifies a problem or question or one that describes new information to address a gap in knowledge | a research report |
| a research report | a published report that describes a planned and organized set of actions to gather info about the problem or question |
| systematic review | summarizes existing research, creating a synthesis of the findings rather than gathering new info about the gap or problem |
| a summary, a condensed version of the research report, often avaliable online as part of a citation | abstract |
| summarizes results, compares results to past knowledge, speculated about the meaning of results | discussion section of a research report |
| a breif synopsis of study findings related to research question, highlights unusual and important findings | summary of research report |
| a debate of the possible meanings of the results of the study, discusses how the results fit and do not fit with previous knowledge | comparison of research report |
| replication is | duplication |
| the process of reflecting on the results of a study and offering some explanation for them | speculation |
| speculation | includes alternative explanations for findings and a rational for the authors judgments about the best explanation |
| what works in a small group may not occur with a larger or different group, so results differ | quantitative perspective |
| phenomena of interest are constantly changing and depend on a unique perspective at a given point in time | qualitative perspective |
| the process of creating a picture of an abstract idea | qualitative conceptualization |
| the ability to apply the findings to a broader population | quantitative generalization |
| assume that experiences are unique and the product of knowledge-building is an ever-clearer understanding or picture of a constantly evolving world | qualitative methods |
| assume that there are concrete answers to questions and we can find those answers by breaking down phenomena into pieces and examining each objective piece in detail | quantitive methods |
| speculate on the maning of the results of the study for practice | discussion sections usually |
| conclusions | move beyond debate and speculation to a statement of what is now "known" about a question or problem |
| can be powerful because they describe new knowledge and are used to guide nursing practice therefore they are worded carefully and cautiously | conclusions |
| conclusions include | ercommendations for further studies, limitations of the present study |
| what might limit our ability to draw conclusions from a study | the sample, study design, measures included, methods |
| result sections of a research study provide | a summary of the findings from a study |
| results of a qualitive study will always aim to | describe or explain |
| results of a quantitative study will may aim to | describe, explain, or predict |
| results from quantiative studies are used to | infer |
| the process of concluding something based on evidence | inference |
| an aspect of a phenomenon of interest that difers such as age, health, beliefs, wt, stress | variable |
| cariable that is determined by other variables in the study (it depends on other variables in the study) | dependent variable |
| cariable that is used to explain or predict outcomes of interest | independent variable |
| a statement of the relationship that the investigator expects to find between two or more study variables | hypothesis |
| has one independent and one dependent variable | simple hypothesis |
| predicts a relationship between two or more independent or two or more dependent variables | complex hypothesis |
| predicts the direction of the relationship between two variables | direcional hypothesis |
| does not predict the relationship between 2 variables | non-directional hypothesis |
| states that there is no relationship between the two variables, tested wtih statistical tests | null-hypothesis |
| analysis of only one variable | univariate analysis |
| analysis of 2 variables | bivariate analysis |
| a statistic that indicates how much variety or difference there is in a set of numbers | variance |
| the square root of the variance | standard deviation |
| how the findings are dispersed | distribution |
| a listing or representation of the number of times a category or value occurred | frequency distribution |
| a normal curve is ___ | bell shaped |
| mean median and mode are the same and the tails of curve never touch baseline | normal bell shaped curve |
| a measure that shows common or typical numbers among findings | central tendency |
| arithmetic average | mean |
| most common occuring value | mode |
| value that falls in the middle of the distribution | median |
| when the mean median and mode are different we say there is a _____to the distribution | skew |
| skew | means that the middle of the distribution is not at the center of the distribution |
| data usually consists of words or images | qualitative |
| a process of understanding, interpreting, and conveptualizing meaning in qualiative data | content analysis |
