can be precisely measure and quantified
Quasi-experimental research design
groups are formed and the conditions are controlled, but subjects are not randomly
assigned to a control group or to treatment conditions
Research
is the primary means by which new knowledge is discovered and brought into practice
to improve the care that nurses provide to their patients
Research process
starts with researchable question, 3 different level of questions depending on the topic
Subjects
people selected for the comparison and experimental groups
Surveys
designed to answer level 2 questions about relationships among variables
True experiment
the conditions under which the variables are studies are tightly controlled to provide
objective testing of hypotheses
