NURS 328 - Quiz 2 with 402 terms-Latest
Update.
research studies - often peer reviewed by two reviewers and are BLIND reviewed
hypotheses - used when conducting experimental or quasi experimental research in the
quantitative paradigm.
A hypothesis - Consists of an independent variable and a dependent variable; these
variables are described in relation to each another.
Experimental - In a(n) ___________ design the researcher controls (manipulates) the
independent variable and randomly assigns subjects to different conditions.
pre-experimental - A(n) __________design does not include mechanisms to compensate
for the absence of either randomization or control group
quasi-experimental - In a(n) _______ design the investigator does not randomly assign
participants but does manipulate the independent variable and controls to enhance the
internal validity.
non-experimental - In a(n) ___________ design the researcher collects data without
introducing any treatment.
5. This experimental design is sometimes called a crossover design. In the repeated
measure design one group of subjects is exposed to more than one condition in random
order.
repeated measure - This experimental design is sometimes called a crossover design. In
the ________________design one group of subjects is exposed to more than one
condition in random order.
non-equivalent - This is a type of quasi-experimental design that involves a comparison
group that was not developed on the basis of random assignment. It is called a
_______________ control group design.
,retrospective study - A(n) ________________ begins with the occurrence of the
dependent variable in the present and then links this effect to some presumed cause
which occurred in the past.
dependent variable - The outcome factor; the variable that may change in response to
manipulations of the independent variable.
experimental study - the researcher manipulates one of the variables and tries to
determine how the manipulation influences other variables
hypthesis - explanation of observations that are testable through experimentation or
observation, educated guess
independent variable - The experimental factor that is manipulated; the variable whose
effect is being studied.
Non-experimental - Without the use of a comparison or control group, has little control
over the factors that affect the validity of the results.
quasi-experimental design - An experiment that does not require random assignment to
conditions.
Hypotheses - statements about a relationship between two or more variables
Independent variable - Also known as the treatment
the variable that is manipulated
Dependent variable - Is the outcome
is caused by the independent variable
Research studies in the quantitative paradigm - Three main types:
Experimental, quasi experimental, nonexperimental
,in an experimental design - The researcher manipulates the independent variable or
introduces an intervention
Subjects are randomly assigned to a treatment or a control group
(Randomized controlled trial)
(May be used to test a new drug)
A Quasi experimental design - differs slightly from experimental
subjects are not randomly assigned to reatment or a control group
the researcher is still manipulating the independent variable or introducing an intervention
non-experimental research - When a researcher collects data without manipulating the
independent variable or introducing an intervention it is.... (eg survey research)
etymology - the study of word origins
Ethnography - the scientific description of the customs of individual peoples and cultures.
grounded theory - an inductive method of generating theory from data by creating
categories in which to place data and then looking for relationships among categories
Hermeneutics - the branch of knowledge that deals with interpretation, especially of the
Bible or literary texts.
Indigenous Research Methods - Indigenous ways of knowing, living in and learning about
the world.
Narrative Inquiry - research that views stories - whether gathered through field notes,
interviews, oral tales, blogs, letters, or autobiographies - as fundamental to human
experience.
phenomena - observable facts; subjects of scientific investigation
, Qualitative studies - involve the exploration of phenomena
methods or designs used in qualitative paradigm - Ethnography, phenomenology,
grounded theory,
other common methods for exploring qualitative research questions - Narrative inquiry,
hermeneutics, and the qualitative descriptive approach
qualitative research approaches - Approaches that are continually emerging
ANSWER: B Phenomenology
Quinn's study focuses on a lived experience that would likely be explored using a
descriptive phenomenologic approach. - 1. Quinn studied the experience of learning
about a parent's cancer diagnosis, from the perspective of adolescents aged 15 to 18
years.
ANSWER: A Ethnography
Petrik's study focuses on how members of a particular American subculture provide end-
of-life care. - 2. Petrik studied end-of-life caregiving for elders living on a Hopi Reservation
in Arizona.
ANSWER: B Phenomenology
Futterer likely used an interpretive phenomenologic approach to study what respite meant
to caregivers who care for a family member with dementia. - 3. Futterer studied the
meaning of the respite experience of family caregivers of patients with dementia.
ANSWER: C Grounded Theory
Viator's study focuses on the process of decision making and following through on a
decision and would most likely use grounded theory methods - 4. Viator explored how
pregnant women managed the process of deciding on and arranging a home birth.
ANSWER: A Ethnography
Neumann undertook a focused ethnography of the cultural norms and behaviors of
patients in residence at a mental health care facility. - 5. Neumann's study focused on
reciprocal care-seeking and caregiving behavior among patients within the culture of an
in-patient mental health care facility.
