NURS 231: Nursing Research and Collaborative PracticeQuestions With Complete Solutions
abstract Correct Answer -is a brief description of major
features of a study at the beginning of a journal article
-used as a screening tool (must go beyond for more depth)
advantages and disadvantages of observation methods Correct
Answer -it is useful when people do not recognize their
behavior, when they are extremely emotional or when they are
incapable of controlling their own actions
-this poses possible ethical issues, those being observed may act
differently and they may be bias because they are interpreted by
the researcher
advantages of experimental design Correct Answer -most
appropriate for testing cause and effect-provides highest level of
evidence for cause and effect studies
advantages of non experimental research Correct Answer -this
is an efficient way to collect copious amounts of information
where it is unethical to randomize the groups or implement the
interventions
-many nursings studies are seekings to answer questions to
problems that cannot be solved by using intervention (smoking
or drug use in pregnancy- cannot make someone stop)
advantages of quasi experimental Correct Answer -this is a
more practical and feasible way of conducting research
especially in clinical settings where ethical dilemmas arise often
,-this may be the best way to evaluate the effect of an
independent variable
advantages of self report methods Correct Answer as a direct
approach, and yields info that is impossible to observe in pt's,
can gather data on both past experiences and planned future
behavior
provides info on state of mind, feelings, values and opinions
after only experiments Correct Answer participants are
assigned randomly to control or experimental group, those in
experimental group undergo treatment or intervention while
control group remains constant, then the post tests are done to
compare groups for analyzing the intervention
An experimental research design involves a nonrandomized
controlled trial.
a. True
b. False Correct Answer false
Background questions Correct Answer Questions focusing on
basic or general knowledge about a condition and/or disorder,
these questions could be answered by searching the web or
reading a textbook
beginning steps: locating relevant literature Correct Answer -
formulate the question you wish to ask
-develop a strategy (document decisions as you go)
-begin with databases you have access to through university and
hospital
-consult as needed
,boolean operators Correct Answer AND= looks for articles that
include all of the identified keywords
OR= looks for articles that include any identified key words
(one or the other or both)
NOT= excludes articles that contain the specific keywords
*quotations help to find exact words and word combinations
causality Correct Answer studies about cause and effect, causes
almost always increase the likelihood of an outcome
-the effect shows what happens when someone is exposed to the
cause and what would happen if they were not
challenges of research Correct Answer -ethical, practical and
methodological challanges
-quant studies must be reliable in valid in methods
-qual studies must be trustworthy
Children require special protection when they are involved in a
research study.
a. True b. False Correct Answer true
comparison design options Correct Answer within subject
design: comparing two people at different times or under
different conditions (pre op and post op)
-between subject design: different people are compared such as
those getting the intervention and those not receiving the
intervention
, comparisons in quant studies Correct Answer -what types of
comparisons will be made to illustrate a relationship between the
variables?
-design options include comparing within subjects or between
subjects
components of a problem statement Correct Answer 1.
identification of the problem (what is wrong with current
situation)
2. background (context of problem)
3. scope
4. consequences (if problem is not fixed)
5. knowledge gaps (what info is the problem lacking)
6. proposed solution (how does this study contribute to the
problems solution)
components of the introduction/background Correct Answer -
describes the central phenomenon, concepts and variables
-states purpose of study, research questions or hypotheses
-lit review
-theoretical or conceptual framework
-significance of the study and the need for the study should be
clearly stated
conceptual definition of variables Correct Answer comparable
to dictionary definition and theoretical meaning of a concept
Conceptual models and theories are similar in that both can be
represented by a schematic model.
a. True
b. False Correct Answer true
