What is generalization?
Applicable to total population.
Applicable to the outliers of the study.
Applying general information in a study.
Applicable to the majority the population.
2
What is the mean?
The sum of the score divided by the number of scores being summed.
Measures of individual differences of the members of the sample
Midpoint/score at the exact center of ungrouped frequency distribution
The numerical value or score that occurs with greatest frequency
3
What is a type I error?
The freedom of a score value to vary given the other existing scores’
Theoretical frequency distribution of all possible values in a population
A conclusion or judgment based on evidence
When the probability is between 0.05 and 0.001
4
PICOS Stands for:
Problem, Intervention, Control, Outcomes, Sample
Population, Implementation, Conclusion, Objectives, Study
Problem, Implementation, Control group, Outliers, Sample
Population, Intervention, comparisons, outcomes, study designs
5
Grounded Research Theory
Looks at phenomena that helps develop a theory
All of the above
results in theoretical frameworks w/ relational statements between concepts
Used frequently to study areas where little previous research has been done
6
Which is true regarding a focus group?
Always includes a survey/questionnaire
Gets the perceptions of a specific topic in a non-threatening environment
Tends to reduce honest responses from participants
Must include a minimum of 20 people to be valid
7
Grove Model for Implementing Evidence-Based Guidelines in Practice
Bench to bedside research- the translation of basic scientific discoveries
Nurses identify & search for best research evidence to manage the problem
Promotes the implementation of EBP by nurses in clinical agencies.
Comprehensive framework to enhance the use of evidence in nursing practice
8
What is a parameter in a study?
The participants of a study.
Separate synthesis of quantitative and qualitative studies
Unknown numeric value of a characteristic of a population.
The test results of a study.
9
Bench to Bedside
A mechanism for obtaining objective and detailed information on nursing
Quality evidence-based guidelines linked to national standards
Science partner with public & prvt organizations to improve quality of care
The translation of basic scientific discoveries in practical applications
10
What is an algorithm?
Tree of a statement taken for granted or considered true
Test of equivalence that involves comparing the scores the same instrument
Level of significance or cutoff point used to determine significance
Decision tree that provides a set of rules for solving a practice problem
11
0.05 or 0.01 is an appropriate level of significance for nursing research
False
True
12
What is rigor for a qualitative study?
Conscious awareness of experiences that comprise the lives of humans
Identified meanings represent perspectives of the participants accurately
Determining the research objectives, questions, or hypotheses
Recommendations for practice, when appropriate, and for future studies.
13
Which of the following is a highly controlled setting in qualitative research?
An environment that's manipulated or modified in some way by the researcher
The site or location used to conduct a study
An environment structured for the purpose of conducting research
An uncontrolled, real-life situation or environment
14
What is an outlier?
Study participants or data points with extreme values
Statistics used to determine test-retest reliability
A picture of the sample as clear as possible in a research report
Is used to examine all the data descriptively
15
Which is true regarding the median?
It is the most commonly conducted measure of central tendency
It is the simplest measure of dispersion
It is not affected by extreme scores or outliers in the data
It does not necessarily indicate the center of the data set
16
A mode of data a set:
Measures of individual differences of the members of the sample
Midpoint/score at the exact center of ungrouped frequency distribution
The numerical value or score that occurs with greatest frequency
The sum of the scores divided by the number of scores being summed.
17
What type of data collection would you most likely see in qualitative research?
Likert Scale
Interviews
Surveys
experimental data
18
Saturation in a qualitative study means:
When there is too much data collected for a study
newly collected data looks to be the same as previously collected data
When it is necessary to collect more data to ensure validity of the study
It is time to do a quantitative study to meet the objectives of the study
19
What is a systematic review?
Structured synthesis of the literature to determine best research evidence
Research evidence is inadequate to make changes in practice
Pool the results from previous studies statistically into a single analysis
Systematic compilation and integration of qualitative studies
