SOLUTION VERIFIED PASS
◉ Implementation potential. Answer: The extent to which an
innovation is amenable to implementation in a new setting; and
assessment of implementation potential is often made in an
evidence-based practice project
◉ Meta-analysis. Answer: A technique for quantitatively integrating
the results of multiple studies addressing the same or highly similar
research question
◉ Metasynthesis. Answer: The grand narratives or interpretive
translations produced from the integration or comparison of
findings from qualitative studies
◉ Pilot test. Answer: A small scale study, or trial run, done in
preparation for a major study often to assess feasibility
◉ Quality improvement. Answer: Systematic efforts to improve
practices and processes within a specific organization or patient
group
, ◉ Research utilization. Answer: The use of some aspect of a study in
an application unrelated to the original research
◉ cause-and-effect relationship (causal). Answer: A relationship
between two variables where in the presence are value of one
variable determines the presence or value of the other
◉ Clinical trial. Answer: A study designed to assess the safety,
efficacy, and effectiveness of a new clinical intervention, often
involving several phases
◉ Concept. Answer: And abstraction based on observations of
behaviors or characteristics
◉ Conceptual definition. Answer: The abstract or theoretical
meaning of a concept being studied
◉ Construct. Answer: And abstraction or concepts that is invented
by researchers based on inferences from human behavior or human
traits
◉ Data. Answer: The pieces of information obtained in a study
(Singular is datum)
