Research Exam: 3 (FINAL)
what requires RNs to make clinical decisions that integrate the best available research,
patient preference, and clinical relevance *** evidence based practice
what are the 2 options for making decisions in nursing research *** -adopting the
innovation: piloting
-rejection of the innovation: increased uncertainty / active vs. passive
what is the term meaning a trial run for the real thing *** piloting
-used for: lower samples sizes, mortified intervention, something brand new
what is the difference between active and passive rejection *** active: did a pilot and it
did not work
passive:: not even going to try the intervention
what are the 5 A's for the 5 step approach for evidence based nursing practice *** ask
acquire
appraise
apply
assess
which "A" of the five-step approach for evidence based nursing practice
-identify the research questions; determine whether the question is well constructed to
elicit a response or solution *** ask
which "A" of the five-step approach for evidence based nursing practice
-search the literature for preappraised evidence or research. secure the best evidence
that is available *** acquire
which "A" of the five-step approach for evidence based nursing practice
-conduct a critical appraisal of the literature and studies. evaluate for validity and
determine the applicability in practice *** appraise
which "A" of the five-step approach for evidence based nursing practice
-institute recommendations and findings and apply them to the nursing practice ***
apply
which "A" of the five-step approach for evidence based nursing practice
-evaluate the application of the findings, outcomes, and relevance to nursing practice
*** assess
what word describes when an article says something like "the literature says...." instead
of stating what each individual article says *** synthesized
what section of an article is classified as the "so-what" section *** discussion
, -so what? = what do the results mean
what are 5 different types of quantitative design *** meta-analysis
RCT
cohort studies
case control studies
descriptive studies
what type of quantitative design
-systematic review of published and unpublished quantitative studies *** meta-
analysis
-reviewing articles that are already out there
-must be sure literature was systematically searched
-findings were merged to identify similarities and incongruencies
what is the gold standard quantitative design *** meta-analysis
what type of quantitative design
-experimental studies including control, randomization, and manipulation of independent
variable *** randomized control trial (RCT)
-looking at sample size, effect of treatment, and examining for possible bias
what is the strongest primary study that can be done *** RCT
-contains random assignment for nursing research
-the group not receiving the intervention will get standard of care
in nursing research is there random assignment or random sampling for RCTs ***
random assignment
what type of quantitative design
-quasi-experimental using 2 or more groups
-no randomization so considered "less rigorous" *** cohort studies
what type of quantitative design
-comparing 2 groups (typically those who have a disease and those who do not have a
disease)
-risk of confounding variables *** case control studies
what type of quantitative design
-non-experimental, provide information about a phenomenon *** descriptive studies
who evaluates scientific studies and makes recommendations for practice (prevention
and primary care) *** U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF)
what are the letter grades for the U.S Preventive Services Task Force *** A- strongly
