NURS 341 FINAL QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
ELABORATIONS BASED ON FINAL EXAM!!
what are the researchers final tasks in reporting on a research project
answers: to interpret and communicate the results
what should the research report present (3)
answers: Highlights of the findings
discuss how relevant the results are to the problem
relate the analysis to other studies
What should the discussion ad conclusion do
answers: summarize the study and identify areas for further investigation
What should the interpretation of study results include
answers: overall purpose
specific research questions or hypotheses
the existence of related research knowledge and the limitations of the research
methods used
What aspects must be considered when interpreting the findings of the study (6)
answers: the credibility and accuracy of the results
the meaning
the importance
the extent to which the results can be generalized
implications for practice theory or research
,What type of research results often provide the reader with more interpretive
opportunities
answers: Quantitative because it can summarize and display much of the data
What are the 5 interpretive components of quantitative and qualitative results
answers: 1. credibility and bias
2. meaning
3. importance
4. generalizability
5. implications
What interpretive component requires a careful analysis of the study's
methodological and conceptual limitations and strengths
answers: credibility assessment
What is external evidence vs internal evidence
answers: external: comes primarily from prior research data. if the results vary
much from prior research, possible reasons for this must be found (method of data
collection and sample selection)
internal: comes from an evaluation of the methods used
What are biases in research design
answers: expectation bias
hawthorne effect
contamination of treatments
, carryover effects
non compliance bias
selection bias
attrition bias
history bias
What are biases in sampling
answers: sampling error volunteer bias
non-response bias
What are biases in measurement
answers: social desirability bias
acquiescence bias
naysayers bia
extreme response bias
recall or memory bias
reactivity
observer bias
What are biases for analysis
answers: Type 1 error
type 2 error
What is a research critique
