HLT 362V Topic 4 Discussion 1 Provide an example of experimental, quasi-experimental, and nonexperimental research from the GCU Library and explain how each research type differs from the others. When replying to peers, evaluate the effectiveness of the research design of the study for two of the examples provided. Answer Experimental Article: This article is experimental due to the randomized clinical trial. The study is looking at the efficacy of three types of Lidocaine, topical spray, topical cream, and injection for intrauterine device insertion. The women in the study were divided into three groups in a random method of closed envelope draw. Bayoumy, H. A., El-Hawwary, G. E. S., & Fouad, H. A. E.-S. (2018). Lidocaine for Pain Control during Intrauterine Device Insertion: A Randomized Clinical Trial. The Egyptian Journal of Hospital Medicine, (2), 6010. Retrieved from Quasi-experimental Article: This article is quasi-experimental due to the use of two different blanket temperatures for safety and comfort. The study randomized adult patients into two groups, a study group that received blankets at 155 degrees F, and a control group that received blankets at 110 degrees F. The results of the study concluded that it was safe for patients to receive blankets with a temperature of 155 degrees F and that these patients had a higher skin temperature within 10 minutes and thermal comfort. Although this study used randomization, it is still quasi-experimental as it is looking for a causal relation between blanket temperatures and patient comfort. Sutton, L. T., Baker, F. S., Faile, N. J., Tavakoli, A. (2012). A Quasi-Experimental Study Examining the Safety Profile and Comfort Provided by Two Different Blanket Temperatures, Journal of PeriAnesthesia Nursing, Volume 27, Issue 3, Pages 181-192, Non-experimental Article: This article is a non-experimental prospective study. It is a comparison of three pressure ulcer risk scales, Braden, Song and Choi, and Cubbin and Jackson scales. The purpose of the comparison is to evaluate the most appropriate
