CORRECT ANSWERS GRADED A+
◍ Research.
Answer: A carefully planned course of action designed to generate
knowledge/information and expand our understanding of a specific topic,
idea, or concept.
◍ reading the title and abstract.
Answer: to determine trustworthiness, the 1st reading strategy includes ___
◍ Basic Research.
Answer: Aims to discover new and unknown knowledge, often without
concern for the practical application of information that has been gained.
◍ focus on analyzing the components of the evidence.
Answer: to determine trustworthiness, the 2nd reading strategy includes ___
◍ Applied Research.
Answer: Attempts to solve practical, everyday problems, and it
fundamentally uses the same techniques.
◍ make comments about the strengths and limitations of the evidence.
Answer: to determine trustworthiness, the 3rd reading strategy includes ___
◍ strengths; limitations.
Answer: Critical appraisal is necessary to establish the _____ and _____ of
the evidence.
◍ Translational Research.
, Answer: Applies findings from basic research to directly improve human
health and well-being. Aims to translate findings from basic research into
meaningful practice, typically in the field of health care.
◍ Quantitative Research.
Answer: Scientific approach designed for the collection and analysis of
numerical data typically obtained from subjects through direct testing in a
laboratory or field-based setting, or using questionnaires.
◍ strengths; limitations.
Answer: ___ of the study should outweigh the ____ of the study.
◍ Qualitative Research.
Answer: Uses extensive observations and interviews that provide
nonnumeric data obtained in natural environments in an effort to interpret
concepts, experiences, or opinion phenomena.
◍ peer-reviewed.
Answer: Scholarly scientific journals require manuscripts to undergo a
rigorous review process by experts in the discipline before being accepted
for publication - this is known as _____.
◍ internal validity.
Answer: accomplished by appraising the Methods sections of a research
report to determine whether the research design, sampling procedures,
research protocol, data collection instruments and procedures, and statistical
analysis actually contributed to measuring the primary outcomes that the
researchers intended to measure.
◍ Mixed Method Research.
Answer: Often attempts to understand the breadth and depth of research
data.
◍ Descriptive Research.
Answer: Describes the current state of a problem, doesn't require
manipulation.
, ◍ external validity.
Answer: refers to the ability to generalize the findings back to the population
from which the sample was derived and to generalize the results to a
realistic context.
◍ Experimental Research.
Answer: Manipulates a variable or variables to investigate the effect on
some outcome.
◍ reliability.
Answer: The consistency, or reproducibility, of the manner in which the data
were collected.
◍ Longitudinal Research.
Answer: Takes place over time.
◍ Cross-sectional Research.
Answer: Allows all the data to be collected at one period in time.
◍ Intra-rater reliability.
Answer: The degree to which the data collected on one participant are
consistent with the data collected on the other participants; am I probing
every patient the same?
◍ Inter-rater reliability.
Answer: The degree to which the data collected are consistent among
different researchers; are my colleagues and I probing with the same
pressure?
◍ Sequential Research.
Answer: Combines the longitudinal and cross-sectional methods.
◍ test-retest method.
Answer: A common procedure for establishing reliability of a data
collection instrument by administering a questionnaire or tool to a small
group of participants at one time and again one week later. The level of
agreement is compared using a correlation coefficient.
