, RESEARCH DESIGNS 2
Introduction


Research in nursing is one of the major reasons as to the many advancements made in nursing

practice today. According to Houser (2018), “nursing research is a systematic process of inquiry that uses

rigorous guidelines to produce unbiased, trustworthy answers to questions about nursing practice”

(p.5). With the help of research, patient outcomes drastically improve. It is more so than ever, important

interest and then measuring them in a reliable, valid way” (Houser, 2018, p. 34). Similar to data

collection, quantitative research collects data pertinent to the research in order to come to a conclusion.

Quantitative research is important because this type of research gives statistical evidence during

research. It tells if there is an improvement or not from previous work. Quantitative research looks at

the accuracy and preciseness of the information, which then helps to make educated determinations.


There are four major types of quantitative research design. There are experimental, descriptive,

correctional, and quasi-experimental research designs. Experimental design, similar to the scientific

method establishes a “cause-effect relationship among a group of variables in a research study” (CIRT,

n.d.). In an experimental design, a variable is changed in order to observe the effect of the change on

the other parts of the experiment. This will prove if the variable had a positive or negative effect on the

experiment. Quantitative research is more so based on numbers and statistics. It delivers an accurate

detail of the research.


Quantitative research can help improve nursing practice in many ways. One of the most

important ways would be how effective research can be. With quantitative research, an experiment can
