QUESTION; convenience sampling - ANSWER-A non-probability
sampling strategy in which the most readily accessible persons or
objects serve as participants or participants of a study.
QUESTION; Auditability - ANSWER-The characteristic of a qualitative
study, developed by the investigator's research process, that allows
another researcher or a reader to follow the thinking or conclusions of
the investigator.
QUESTION; Generalizability - ANSWER-The extent to which data can be
inferred to be representative of similar phenomena in a population
beyond the studied sample
QUESTION; control - ANSWER-The measures used to hold uniform or
constant
the conditions in a research study
,QUESTION; confidence interval - ANSWER-An estimated range of values,
which are likely to include an unknown population parameter calculated
from a given set of sample data. Abbreviated CI.
QUESTION; alpha - ANSWER-Considered an a priori probability because
it is
set before the data are collected. Also considered a conditional
probability because the null hypothesis is assumed to be true
QUESTION; clinical question - ANSWER-A presentation of an idea that
forms the foundation for a study; it is developed from the research
problem and results in the research hypothesis.
QUESTION; alpha coefficient - ANSWER-A number between 0 and 1 that
expresses the relationship between the error variance, true variance,
and the observed score. A correlation
of 0 indicates no relationship; the closer to 1 the
coefficient is, the more reliable is the tool
QUESTION; accessible population - ANSWER-A population that meets
the population criteria and is available
QUESTION; bias - ANSWER-A distortion in the interpretation of the
results of
the data analysis.
, QUESTION; Dependant variable - ANSWER-In experimental studies, the
presumed effect of the independent or experimental variable on the
outcome. Variation in the independent variable changes this effect. The
dependent variable is observed but not manipulated.
QUESTION; cluster sampling - ANSWER-A probability sampling strategy
that involves successive random sampling of units. The units sampled
progress from large to small. Also known as multistage sampling
QUESTION; alternate form reliability - ANSWER-A reliability measure in
which two or more alternate forms of a measure are administered to
the same participants at different times. The scores of the two tests
determine the degree of relationship between the measures. Also
called parallel-form reliability.
QUESTION; findings - ANSWER-The statistical results of a study and the
conclusions, interpretations, recommendations, generalizations, and
implications for future research and nursing practice
QUESTION; Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) - ANSWER-A statistic that
measures differences among group means and uses a statistical
technique to equate the groups under study in relation to an important
variable.
QUESTION; objectivity - ANSWER-The use of facts without distortion by
