Something that needs investigation
What is the research problem?
100
Provides the details for the strategies researchers will use in the study; quantiative research has four major approaches.
What is the study design?
100
Examples include: Surveys, interviews, questionnaires, tools, instruments, and scales.
What are data collection methods?
100
Used to describe the characteristics of a sample; often calculated in percentages and means.
What are descriptive statistics?
100
Duplicating the study in another population is called this.
What is replication?
200
Summarizes the study goals; sets the direction for the study.
What is the purpose statement?
200
The large group from which subjects may be drawn.
What is the population?
200
How the information for the study will be collected: Who will do it? When? How? With what?
What is the data collection plan?
200
The average deviation of scores from the mean; calculated using every score.
What is the standard deviation?
200
The acknowledged shortcomings of the study that might impact the results in some fashion.
What are the limitations of the study?
300
That which is known and unknown about the topic
What is the literature review?
300
Random, convenience and snowball are some types.
What is sampling methods?
300
Data measured via rank ordering of a dimension: think pain scale.
What is ordinal measurement?
300
Reading and re-reading transcripts, developing categories and themes, conferring with participants and other researchers to validate results.
What is content analysis?
300
The meanings for nursing practice, education, administration or research.
What are study implications?
400
Provides the theoretical and conceptual underpinning of the study.
What is the framework?
400
Ensures that subjects and participants understand the specifics of joining a study.
What is informed consent?
400
Conducting a "run through" of the data collection process to test procedures and tools.
What is a pilot test?
400
Data analysis approach that allows conclusions to be drawn about a population using results from a sample.
What are inferential statistics?
400
Making an inference from the sample to the larger population
What is generalization?
500
The statement of relationships between or among study variables.
What is the hypothesis
500
The data collection instument measures what it should and does so consistently.
What are validity and reliability?
500
Cross-checking data collectors to ensure reliability in administration of study instruments.
What is inter-rater reliablity?
500
The point at which no new information is obtained from participants.
What is data saturation?
500
Poster sessions, presentations at professional conferences, writing manuscripts for publication, and electronic publication are examples.
What are methods for disseminating research?
