Question 1 pts
,A research study contains the following in its Introduction section: “This study was
undertaken to explore the effect of massage on total hours of sleep per 24-hour
day, in persons averaging fewer than 7 hours of sleep per night, attributable to
insomnia. . . . Presumably by increasing endorphin levels, massage seems to
provide an immediate relaxation and an ability to sleep immediately following the
session, but it is unclear whether these benefits actually extend to total sleep,
despite anecdotal support. The claim that massage increases total hours of sleep
has been inadequately researched. . . . Does massage increase the total number
of hours of daily sleep? . . . It was posited that provision of daily late-morning
massage would affect total hours of sleep per 24-hour day. The study’s
causational explanation was based on the physiologic matrix of McCarthy, which
includes effects of endorphins on sleep, learning ability, pain, digestive function,
and cardiac output. . . . It was taken as established fact that massage is pleasant,
that research subjects getting fewer than 7 hours of sleep per night were sleep-
deprived, and that endorphins mediated the changes observed.”

, A research problem is an area of concern or phenomenon of interest about
which there is a gap in the knowledge base needed for nursing practice.
The problem identifies an area of concern or phenomenon of interest for a
particular population and often indicates the concepts to be studied.

Question 2 pts
Why is operational reasoning necessary for research?
It facilitates the researcher’s rapport with families
Abstract concepts are of no use to nursing.
It allows the researcher to measure the concepts studied.
Standard interventions are obtained from operational reasoning.
Operational reasoning involves the identification of and discrimination
among many alternatives and viewpoints. It focuses on the process
(debating alternatives) rather than on the resolution. Nurses use
operational reasoning to develop realistic, measurable health goals. Thus,
operational reasoning takes abstract concepts and makes them focused,
concrete, and, therefore, researchable.
