GNUR 360 Test 1 Questions With Complete Solutions
applied research Correct Answer Practical research
Attempts to solve real problems in clinical practice
Goal is to generate knowledge that will improve clinical practice
Test theory in clinical practice
Applies findings in the real world with real people
article critique Correct Answer see ppt
basic research Correct Answer Research conducted for the
pursuit of knowledge for knowledge's sake
Seek new knowledge about health and want to establish
scientific principles
Purpose is to generate and refine theory
May include lab research with mice
Could include topics to further understanding of physiological
functioning, genetic disorders, and pathological processes
Control Correct Answer Making rules for measurement of
variables to decrease the possibility of error
Increase the chance that the findings are accurate
Differing amounts of control based on study design
How?
Extraneous variables
Sampling process
Setting
Choice of the study intervention
Implementation of the intervention
Critical Thinking Correct Answer Essential for EBP
,A complex cognitive process of questioning, seeking
information, analyzing, synthesizing, drawing conclusions from
available information, and transforming knowledge into action
(AACN, 2008; Scheffer & Rubenfeld, 2006).
Dynamic Process
Without critical thinking and making judgements, a nurse is only
completing tasks
Critique Literature Review Correct Answer Was relevant
literature included?
Were sources current?
How extensive was the review?
Use articles from other disciplines
Use many different databases
How well did the authors synthesize the articles?
Is it clear and concise?
Is it organized?
Does it provide direction for future researc
Data Analysis Correct Answer Organizes and gives meaning to
data
Think statistics for quantitative study
Descriptive statistics, correlation, logistic regression
Data Analysis: Codes and Coding Correct Answer Coding is
the process of reading the data and assigning a label to the part
of text
Labels help researchers to identify patterns
A code is a symbol that is used to classify words or phrases in
the data
, Data Collection Correct Answer Systematic gathering of
information
Need permission from setting
Need permission from participants
Informed consent
Interview, questionnaires, scales, biological measures are ways
to collect data
Data Collection Methods Correct Answer Interviews
Focus groups
Observation
Text as a Source
Data Management Correct Answer Organizing Data Files
Need a system that slows the researcher to keep track of
connections between data
One way to do this is using a computer assisted software
Need to read, re-read, and analyze data multiple times during
study (BE IMMERSED)
Need to keep data confidential
Transcribing Interviews
Allows the researcher to decode meaning of participants own
words
Time intensive and produces a lot of data
Data Management and Data Analysis Correct Answer Data
analysis occurs simultaneously with data collection
Researcher needs to gather, manage, and interpret data all at the
same time
Data collection is complete when saturation is reached
applied research Correct Answer Practical research
Attempts to solve real problems in clinical practice
Goal is to generate knowledge that will improve clinical practice
Test theory in clinical practice
Applies findings in the real world with real people
