Latest Update 2026/2027
Question: Abstract- is a brief description of the study placed at the
beginning of the article
Answer:
-Concise summary of the study
-Usually less than 300 words
-Should provide the following: Research problem,Results / findings, Main conclusions,
Recommendations
Question: Best source of evidence
Answer:
Systematic Reviews- (level 1) the strongest evidence comes from careful synthesis of
multiple studies
Question: Bias
Answer:
a distortion or influence that results in an error in inference
Question: Calculatin median
Answer:
-1, 5, 2, 8, 7
-sort numbers: 1, 2, 5, 7, 8
-Median is 5
-If even numbers, median is the arithmetic average (mean) of the 2 numbers
Question: Consecutive sampling
Answer:
-Recruitment of all people from an accessible population over a specific time interval or
for a specified sample size
-Best possible choice when there is "rolling enrollment" into an accessible population
Question: Convenience sampling
Answer:
-selecting the most conveniently available people as participants
-People might be atypical of the population (risk of bias)
-Weakest form of sampling, also most commonly used sampling method
, Question: Credibility
Answer:
-A criterion for evaluating integrity and trustworthiness in qualitative studies, referring to
confidence in the truth of the data; analogous to internal validity in quantitative research
Question: Critical theory research
Answer:
-Critique of society
-Envisions new possibilities
-Action oriented
-Inspire change
Question: Data saturation
Answer:
-involves sampling until no new information is obtained and redundancy is achieved
-Participants are insightful- saturation achieved with a small sample
-A larger sample is needed with maximum variation sampling
Question: Debriefing
Answer:
Communication with study participants after participation is complete regarding aspects
of the study (explaining the purpose of the study more fully)
Question: Descriptive statistics
Answer:
-Used to synthesize/summarize/ describe data. -
-Parameters: Characteristics of a population 3
-Characteristics: Shape of distribution of values, Central tendency, Variability
Question: Frequency distribution positive skew
Answer:
Asymmetrical, the peak is off center, and one tail is longer than the other. When one tail
points to the RIGHT the distribution has a positive skew.
Question: Inference
Answer:
-a conclusion drawn from the study evidence using logical reasoning and taking into
account the methods used to generate the evidence
-Made good decisions selecting proxies
-Controlled sources of bias
