The purpose of an institutional review board is to: | Ensure that ethical principles are observed in human-subject reseach |
Research studies can most easily be identified by: | Examining the contents of the report |
Which statement concerning research reports is accurate: | Primary sources are those writtin by one of the researchers in the study. |
A research report includes all of the following except: | A summary of other research studies with the same results. |
The conduct of nursing research has its roots with: | Florence Nightingale |
The first journal dedicated to nursing research is: | Nursing Research |
Tradition is an efficient way of learning, althoughis also can limit the ability to seek new ways of doing things when: | A peson does not question the practice. |
The foundation of research is based on: | Scientific Method |
The hallmark of science research is the: | Experiment |
Persons selected for comparison and experimental research groups are known as the: | Subjects |
Nursing studies use many research methods. Ther method chosen depends on: | The amount of knowledge known about the problem |
Qualitative nursing research is the investigation of phenomena that are: | Not easily quantified. |
The preparation of nurse scientists, who have primary responsibility for the conducting of research, is begun at the master's level and is concentrated at the doctoral and predoctoral levels. However,: | ANA's position paper (1997) describes and includes research activities for nurse. |
Although it is not always possible to anticipate all potential undesirable effects, researchers are obligated to inform everyone involved about the known potential risks. This is an example of: | Informed consent |
Nursing Research | is a way to identify new knowledge, improve professional education and practice, and use resources effectively. |
Scientific Method | is the foundation of research. It is the most reliable and objective of all methods of gaining knowledge. |
Empirical Data | Evidence that is part of experience is gathered directly or indirectly through use of observations and assessments and is the basis for discovering new knowledge. |
Quantitative Nursing Research | it the investigation of nursing phenomena that lend themselves to precise measurement and quantification. |
Experimental Study | is the hallmark of scientific research. The conditions of the treatment or mesasurement of the study are tightly controlled. |
Subjects | Persons selected for the comparison and experimental groups- are chosen random from among those eligible for the study. |
Abstract | A short summary of the purpose of a study, the subjects included in the research, the way the study was conducted, and the results obtained in the investigation. |
Anonymity | occurs when even the researcher cannot link the subject to the data. |
Biomedical Research | is concerned primarily with discovering the causes and treatments of disease. |
Clinical Nursing Problem | a difference between two states of affairs, a discrepancy between the way things are and the way they ought to be, or between what one knows and what one needs to know to eliminate the problem. |
Confidentiality | Guarantees that any information provided by the subject will not be reported in any manner that identifies the subject and will not be assessible to people outside the research team. |
Evaluation Research | ia a form of quantitative research that involves finding out how well a program, practice, procedure, or policy is working. |
Evidence-based Practice (EBP) | incorporates critical thinking and research utilization competencies. |
Informed Consent | means that research subjects: are given complete info about the study and its procedures, capable of understanding the research, have the power of free choice to consent or decline research, and understand how anonymity or confidentiality is maintained. |
Primary Source | A report written by on of the researchers in the study |
Qualitative Nursing Research | is the investigation of phenomena that are not easily quantified or categorized. |
Research Process | consists of an orderly series of phases or steps that allow the researcher to move from asking the research question to finding the answer. |
Research Utilization | the problem area chosen must have an established research base in the literature, be relevant in practice, and be reliably evaluated by nurses in clinical settings. |
Secondary Source | any article where the author was not directed involved in conducting the study, but collected the info from a primary or another secondary source. |
Surveys | are designed to obtain info from populations regarding the prevalence, distribution, and interrelation of variables within the study population. |
Key Concepts (5) | Knowledge aquired thru tradition, from authorities in a field, thru experience, thru problem solving and critical thinking, and thru application of the scientific method. |
Key Concepts (5) | The research process is an orderly, planned and controlled way to dtudy a problem in clinical practice, nursing education, or nursing administration. |
Key Concepts (5) | Nursing research is conducted to study the physical or psychosocial responses of people of all ages in health and illness. |
Key Concepts (5) | An expermental research study controls factors that could influence the results, includes comparison and experimental treatment groups of subjects, and uses random means for selecting study subjects. |
Key Concepts (5) | A qualitative study organizes info in narrative format so that phenomena can be described and patterns of relationships can be discovered. |
Key Concepts (5) | Particiipation of human subjects in research studies require the researcher to obtain informed consent of study subjects, to maintain the confidentiality of subjects, and to protect subjects from undue risk or injury. |
Key Concepts (5) | When summarizing data report in a research study, the nurse should note when, how, where, and by whom the investigation was conducted and who and what were studied. |
Key Concepts (5) | A researchable clinical problem is one that is not satisfactorily resolved by present nursing interventions, occurs frequently in a particular group, can be consistently and accurately measured, & has a possible solution w/in the realm of nursing practice |
Key Concepts (5) | Nurse should consider scientific worth of study, substantiating evidence given in other studies, similarity of resrch setting, stat. of current Nsg theory, & factors affecting feasibilty of applic. to determ. if findings can be used as basis for Nrg Pract |
