Hypothesis 1
Statements that explain or predict relationship or difference between variables in terms of expected
study outcomes
hypothesis
research problem
Ways of knowing
literature review
PICO
What is a hypothesis
TRIPLE JEOPARDY
A formal statement about the predicted outcome of a study
What is a hypothesis?
DOUBLE JEOPARDY
The five components of the first page of a research article:
title
author names
abstract
conclusions
literature review
disclosures
What are the title, author names/affiliations, abstract, disclosures, and literature review?
Type of research design that involves manipulation or control of one or more factors
descriptive research
experimental research
applied research
action research
What is experimental research?
Which statement is incorrect
1. Researcher tries to collect data to support or refute hypothesis
2. Hypotheses do not have to be proven to be successful
3. Nursing research can only be classified as quantitative
Nursing research can only be classified as quantitative
Something that assumes that there will be NO SIGNIFICANT differences between groups or relationships among variables:
hypothesis
null hypothesis
problem statement
problem question
What is a null hypothesis (H0)?
The final paragraph or two of the literature review:
Systematic review
rationale for the study
abstract of the study
study design
What is the rationale (for why the authors are conducting their own study)?
The non-experimental research design that involves surveys, polls, case studies, etc.:
quantitative study
descriptive study
Action Study
Qualitative Study
What are descriptive studies?
Descriptive research aims to describe a phenomenon or population by observing and documenting its characteristics without manipulating variables, making it a suitable design for using methods like surveys, polls, and case studies to gather information
DOUBLE JEOPARDY
Using previously conducted and published research to answer a clinical question (is part of)
A. Evidence based practice
B. hypothesis
C. research question
D. Ways of knowing
E. variables
What is evidence based practice?
TRIPLE JEOPARDY
Identify the 3 types of hypothesis:
nondirectional
directional
simple
obtuse
What are nondirectional, directional, simple
The three parts of the methods section:
participants
procedures
properties
design
framework
What are participants, procedures, and design?
DOUBLE JEOPARDY
The dependent variable is the variable being measured and observed to see how it responds to changes.
True
False
True. The dependent variable is that which is under investigation.
A good hypothesis must:
A. Be proven by empirical data.
B. Serve as a guide for descriptive research.
C. Identify predicted outcomes of the study.
D. State several relationships among variables
What is Identify predicted outcomes of the study.
Regardless of the specific format used to state a hypothesis, the statement includes the variables being studied, the population being studied, and the predicted outcomes.
DOUBLE JEOPARDY
Identify the two descriptive words of a type of hypothesis can be identified by their direction?
What are directional and nondirectional?
Something important to include in the section of the written explanations of study findings:
restating the study's hypothesis
restating the study's PICO
restating the study conclusions
restating the study methodology
What is restating the hypothesis or research questions?
What are the three types of variables:
dependent
extraneous
extemporaneous
independent
numerator
What is extraneous, independent, and dependent?
the independent variable is manipulated to determine effect it has on another variable.
The dependent variable is observed for change after the treatment is applied
Extraneous variable is a characteristic not under investigation but may be relevant to the study
The two variables that go into formulating your research question:
dependent variable
Ways of knowing
independent variable
PICOT
What are dependent and independent variables?
Something highly flexible that explains the intent of the study through descriptive, differences, and relational questions:
statement of purpose
research answer
Ways of knowing
Literature review
What is a statement of purpose?
TRIPLE JEOPARDY!!
Name at least 5 subheadings you may find in a research article
INTRODUCTION, ABSTRACT, METHODOLOGY, LIMITATIONS, REFERENCES, DISCUSSION, CONCLUSION, LITERATURE REVIEW,
DOUBLE JEOPARDY
A smaller group of data points selected from a larger set of data points to study to gain insight and draw conclusions.
What is a Research Sample?
