After formulation of the research question or hypothesis, the next step in the
research process is to design the study. The study design will influence the
data collection process. Selecting the population is a component of this phase
of the research process. Obtaining necessary approvals is part of conducting
the study, which follows the design phase in the research process.
Identification of the instrument to use for data analysis occurs during the
,process of designing the study protocol. This step would occur during the study
design phase of the research process after the problem identification and
literature review has taken place.
Research is the same as problem solving. T or F - THE CORRECT
ANSWER-*False*
Research is different from problem solving. Problem solving is specific to a
given situation and is designed for immediate action, whereas research is
generalizable (transferable) to other situations and deals with long-term
solutions rather than immediate ones.
During the first step of evidence-based practice (EBP), development of a
clinical question:
A. Must follow the sequence of PICOT
B. Does not allow for identification of key words
C. Must contain all of the PICOT elements
D. Does not have to follow the sequence of PICOT - THE
CORRECT ANSWER-*D. Does not have to follow the sequence of PICOT*
A well designed PICOT question does not have to follow the sequence of PICOT.
In addition, Intervention (I), comparison (C), and time (T) are not appropriate to
be used in every question. The aim is to ask a question that contains as many of
the PICOT elements as possible. Proper question formatting allows you to
identify keys words to use when conducting your literature search
,Research Utilization (RU) - THE CORRECT ANSWER-- Use of study findings in a
practical application unrelated to the original research.
- Instrumental (direct)
- Conceptual (indirect)
- Persuasive (symbolic)
Evidence Based Practice (EBP) - THE CORRECT ANSWER-- Based clinical
decisions on best possible evidence typically high quality research.
- Use of best evidence unmaking patient care decisions.
Research Utilization (RU): Instrumental - THE CORRECT ANSWER-- Direct
- Explicit application of knowledge gained from research to a practice.
Research Utilization (RU): Conceptual - THE CORRECT ANSWER-- Indirect
- Use of findings to enhance one's understanding of a problem or issue in
nursing.
Research Utilization (RU): Persuasive - THE CORRECT ANSWER-- Symbolic
- Use of evidence to change minds, especially decision makers.
RU Beginnings - THE CORRECT ANSWER-- 1970s research begins to be
incorporated in nursing curricula.
- 1970s WICHE Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education.
, - 6 year project to address feasibility of fostering research through
regional collaborations.
- First major project addressing RU.
- Findings: resulted in increase in RU, but not enough sounds, reliable
studies with implications for nursing care.
- 1970s CURN: Conduct and Utilization of Research in Nursing project (run
by MNA, funded by Division of Nursing).
- Major objective --> increase use of research findings in clinical nursing
practice by: disseminating current findings, facilitating organizational
changes, encouraging collaborative research.
- Must have relevance to practice and be widely disseminated.
Steps of Research Utilization Similarities to Nursing Process -
THE CORRECT ANSWER-(ADPIE)
- Identification of clinical problem (D).
- Gathering information form existing studies, critical evaluation of
research (A).
