NURS 262 (Research) EXAM 1
1. systematic inquiry using disciplined methods to answer questions or solve problems: research
2. systematic inquire designed to develop trustworthy evidence about issues of importance to nurses and their
clients: nursing research
3. nursing research designed to guide nursing practice (typically begins with questions stemming from practice
problems): clinical nursing research
4. a practice that involves making clinical decisions based on an integration of the best available evidence, most
often from disciplined research, with clinical expertise and patient preferences: evidence-based practice (EBP)
5. - use of the best clinical evidence in making patient care decisions
- the basis for nursing decisions; influences many recent clinical practice changes
- produces decisions that are clinically appropriate, cost effective, and result outcomes: evidence-based practice
(EBP)
6. roles ofnurse researcher :
- contribute an idea for clinical inquiry
- assist in collecting research information
- offer advice to clients about participation
- search for research evidence
- discuss the implications of a study in a journal club in a practice setting; meeting to discuss research
articles: nurses in research
7. 5 areas of focus for NINR's Strategic Plan: 1. promoting and preventing disease
2. symptom management and self-management
3. end-of-life and palliative care
4. innovation
5. development of nurse scientists
8. sources of for nursing practice:
- tradition and authority
- clinical experience and trial and error
- assembled information
- disciplined research: evidence
9. source of evidence that involves benchmarking data and quality improve- ment and risk data: assembled
information
10. source of evidence that is the best method of acquiring reliable knowledge; evidence based findings:
disciplined research
11.world view or general perspective of worlds complexities: paradigm
, NURS 262 (Research) EXAM 1
12.a way of looking at natural phenomena that encompasses a set of philo- sophical assumptions and that
guide one's approach to inquiry: paradigm
, NURS 262 (Research) EXAM 1
13.key paradigms for nursing research: 1. positivist paradigm
2. constructivist paradigm
14. paradigm:
- reality exists; real world driven by natural causes
- research is independent from those researched
- values and biases are to be held in check: positivist paradigm
15.the paradigm underlying the traditional scientific approach, which as- sumes that there is an orderly
reality that can be objectively studied; often associated with QUANtitative research: positivist paradigm
16. paradigm:
- reality is multiple
- researcher interacts with those being researched
- subjectivity and values are inevitable and desirable: constructivist paradigm
17.an alternative paradigm that holds that there are multiple interpretations of reality and that the goal of
research is to understand how individuals construct reality within their content; associated with QUALitative
research also called naturalistic paradigm: constructivist paradigm
18.techniques used to structure a study and to gather, analyze, and interpret information: research methods
19.research most closely associated with the positivist tradition: quantitative
20.research most closely associated with the constructivist tradition: qualita- tive
21.the investigation of phenomena that lend themselves to precise measure- ment and quantification, often
involving a rigorous and controlled design: - quantitative research
22.the investigation of a phenomena, typically in an in-depth and holistic fashion, through the collection of
rich narrative materials using a flexible research design: qualitative research
23.type of research:
- orderly procedures
- systemic / prespecified plan
- control over context
- formal measurement
- empirical evidence
- seeks generalizations: quantitative
24.type of research:
- dynamic design
- holistic
- context-bound
