Edition by Mina Singh
Nursing Research: - ANSWER:systematic, rigorous, logical investigation that aims to
answer questions about nursing phenomena
-component of both EBP and QI
EBP: - ANSWER:collection, interpretation, and integration of valid research evidence,
combined with clinical expertise and an understanding of patient and family values
and preferences to inform clinical decision making
Quality Improvement: - ANSWER:systematic use of data to monitor the outcomes of
care processes as well as the use of improvement methods to design and test
changes in practice, the aim of which is to continuously improve the quality and
safety of health care systems
Types of Nursing Research - ANSWER:Qualitative, Quantitative
-the selection of a research type depends on the research question
Qualitative research: - ANSWER:seeks to understand the meaning of human
experience
-usually conducted in natural settings
-looks at a process
-seeks to DESCRIBE experiences
-*subjective* approach
-theory generating
Quantitative research - ANSWER:seeks to test relationships or answer a questions
-explains cause-and-effect relationship
-seeks to describe phenomena
-*objectivity* is important
-Theory Testing
Think what with Quantitative: - ANSWER:think numbers
think what with Qualitative: - ANSWER:think words or direct quotes
-feeling/experiences
Critically appraise means: - ANSWER:being able to look at the research evidence and
use existing standards to determine the merit and readiness of research for use in
clinical practice
-nurses must be knowledgeable consumers of research
-evaluate strengths and weaknesses of nursing research
, -use existing standards to determine the merit and readiness of research for use in
clinical practice
What are the critical reading strategy levels: - ANSWER:-Preliminary: become
familiar, skim article
-Comprehensive: understand the purpose or intent of the article
-Analysis: understand the terms and parts of the study
-Synthesis: understand the article as a whole and assess the study's validity

Act- communicate with the patient
Evaluate- evaluate your performance
scholarly sources: - ANSWER:to share original sources between other scholars,
usually use different diction
Popular sources - ANSWER:sources shared between the public world
-wikipedia
mixed methods include: - ANSWER:qualitative and quantitative
systematic review: - ANSWER:summation and assessment of a group of research
studies that test a similar research question
-meta-analysis: statistical techniques in the review
