Research and Evidence Based Practice
In research, this is the standard of respect for Persons, Beneficence, and Justice
What are the Principles of Ethical Research?
A textbook is an example of this type of source.
What is secondary source?
The term used to describe one variable [IV] producing an effect on the other variable [DV] .
What is causality?
It looks at the present or is a snapshot in time.
What is the Cross-sectional Design?
The group of people that includes all elements that meet the study inclusion criteria.
What is the Target population?
The I in PICOT
What is Intervention?
Sources or references based on common or uncommon elements of works without concern for research methods, designs, or settings; often considered subjective.
What are Non-scholarly works?
Describe, explain, or predict relationships between variables through observation.
What is Non-experimental research?
In a study the researcher notes that the control group has a high attrition rate threatening this type of validity.
What is Internal Validity?
The term to describe the applicability of the results of a study to the target population;external validity
What is Generalizability?
This is the section of a research article describing study design, sample, and data collection.
What is the methods section?
Combining results of studies into a measurable format and statistically estimate the effects of the proposed interventions. Works are similar or identical and include published and unpublished works.
What is meta-analysis?
Variables that interfere with the relationship, or confuse the effect of the IV on the DV (age, beliefs, geographic location, etc).
What is confounding variables?
Study findings on diabetes screening at 1 elementary school in a district with 25 schools, needs to be interpreted with caution, because the findings have limited generalizability. This is an example of this______ type of validity.
What is external validity?
The sampling method commonly used in qualitative research; examples include snowball sampling or network sampling.
What is nonprobability sampling technique?
Certain studies may be low enough risk not to require consent from individuals
What is exempt?
When reading through the results of an intervention study the nurse knows a p value less than this number means the findings are significant.
What is p value of .05 or lower?
Type of bias where the sample studied does not correctly represent the population the researcher wants to draw conclusions about.
What is Selection Bias?
The three essential components of Experimental Designs.
What are random assignment to groups, a control group, and manipulation of the independent variable.
Sampling subjects by selecting every kth element.
What is systematic sampling or random sampling?
An endeavor to change practice, based on best evidence, in a clinical setting.
What is Evidence Based Practice?
The structure of a study that links the theory concepts to the study variables.
What is the theoretical framework?
An example is the clinic hand hygiene Champ notices there is a 30% increase in compliance when healthcare workers were aware of being observed for their audit.
What is the Hawthorne Effect?
The research design , without random assignment to groups, that looks for the differences between participants in the treatment group compared to the control group.
What are Quasi-Experimental designs?
This qualitative methodology uses theoretical sampling.
What is Grounded theory?
