Edition (Singh, 2022), Chapter , All Chapters with Answers and
Rationals .
Nursing Research: - ANSWER: systematic, rigorous, logical investigation that aims to answer questions
about nursing phenomena
-component of both EBP and QI
EBP: - ANSWER: collection, interpretation, and integration of valid research evidence, combined with
clinical expertise and an understanding of patient and family values and preferences to inform clinical
decision making
Quality Improvement: - ANSWER: systematic use of data to monitor the outcomes of care processes
as well as the use of improvement methods to design and test changes in practice, the aim of which is
to continuously improve the quality and safety of health care systems
Types of Nursing Research - ANSWER: Qualitative, Quantitative
-the selection of a research type depends on the research question
Qualitative research: - ANSWER: seeks to understand the meaning of human experience
-usually conducted in natural settings
-looks at a process
-seeks to DESCRIBE experiences
-*subjective* approach
-theory generating
Quantitative research - ANSWER: seeks to test relationships or answer a questions
-explains cause-and-effect relationship
-seeks to describe phenomena
-*objectivity* is important
-Theory Testing
Think what with Quantitative: - ANSWER: think numbers
think what with Qualitative: - ANSWER: think words or direct quotes
-feeling/experiences
Critically appraise means: - ANSWER: being able to look at the research evidence and use existing
standards to determine the merit and readiness of research for use in clinical practice
-nurses must be knowledgeable consumers of research
-evaluate strengths and weaknesses of nursing research
-use existing standards to determine the merit and readiness of research for use in clinical practice
What are the critical reading strategy levels: - ANSWER: -Preliminary: become familiar, skim article
-Comprehensive: understand the purpose or intent of the article
-Analysis: understand the terms and parts of the study
-Synthesis: understand the article as a whole and assess the study's validity
critical reading involves: - ANSWER: look for assumptions, interpret and assess it accurately and fairly,
find supporting examples, implication and consequences
, what is a research critique: - ANSWER: the process of critical appraisal that *objectively* and critically
evaluates a research reports content for scientific merit and application to practice
-requires knowledge of the subject matter and knowledge of how to critically read and use critiquing
criteria
-may include article's strengths and weaknesses
The Evidence hierarchy model does not evaluate what? - ANSWER: this model does not evaluate the
worth of the article but the *strength*
-qualitative isn't as strong
-lowest level(7) are more opinions (committee opinion)
Grading the strength of a body of evidence is based on: - ANSWER: Quality-low bias
Quantity-# of studies that have evaluated the research question
Consistency-the similarities and differences between the difference studies
Evidence Based Practice Steps: - ANSWER: Ask
Gather- acquire the evidence/ search
Assess Appraise-closest to the truth and applicability
Act- communicate with the patient
Evaluate- evaluate your performance
scholarly sources: - ANSWER: to share original sources between other scholars, usually use different
diction
Popular sources - ANSWER: sources shared between the public world
-wikipedia
mixed methods include: - ANSWER: qualitative and quantitative
systematic review: - ANSWER: summation and assessment of a group of research studies that test a
similar research question
-meta-analysis: statistical techniques in the review
integrative review - ANSWER: focused review and synthesis of either research of theoretical literature
Meta-synthesis and meta summary: - ANSWER: synthesis of a number of qualitative studies research
studies on a focused topic using specific qualitative methodology
Consensus or experte based guidelines: - ANSWER: developed by expert panels
Evidence based guidelines: - ANSWER: developed using research findings
Quality Healthcare Components - ANSWER: -safe
-effected patient centered
-timely
-efficient
-equitable
Critical reading requires 4 stages of understanding what is the last stage? - ANSWER: synthesis
what is the most common first step in the quality improvement process? - ANSWER: Conducting an
assessment
what is an assessment of a group of research studies that test a similar research question? - ANSWER:
systematic review
