Outcomes Research - correct answer - - Helps patients, health
care providers, and those in health care policy make informed
decisions on the basis of current evidence.
- Typically focuses on the benefits, risks, costs, and holistic
effects of a treatment on patients.
- Outcomes must be observable or measurable.
Scientific Method - correct answer - - The foundation of research
- The most reliable and objective means of acquiring and
conducting research and gaining knowledge.
- A step-by-step process to ensure that findings from a study are
valid, reliable, and generalizable to a similar group of subjects
-It minimizes the chance that bias or opinion by a researcher will
influence the results of research and thus the knowledge gained.

Scientific research includes the following characteristics: - correct
answer - - The research identifies the problem area or area of
interest to study.
- The steps of planning and conducting a research study are
systematic and orderly.
- Researchers try to control external factors that are not being
studied but can influence a relationship between the phenomena
they are studying.
- Researchers gather empirical data through the use of
observations and assessments and use the data to discover new
knowledge.
- The goal is to apply the knowledge gained from a study to a
broader group of patients.
Quantitative - correct answer - Experimental research
Nonexperimental research
Surveys
Evaluation research
, Page | 3
Qualitative - correct answer - the study of phenomena that are
difficult to quantify or categorize, such as patients' perceptions of
illness or quality of life.
Ethnography
Phenomenology
Grounded theory
inductive reasoning - correct answer - during qualitative nursing-
to develop generalizations or theories from specific observations
or interviews. There are a number of different qualitative research
methods, including ethnography, phenomenology, and grounded
theory. Each is based on a different philosophical or
methodological view of how to collect, summarize, and analyze
qualitative data.
There are many quantitative methods, including: experimental,
nonexperimental, survey, and evaluation research. - correct
answer - Experimental research: One example of experimental
research is the randomized controlled trial. An RCT is a true
experimental study that tightly controls conditions to eliminate
bias with the goal of generalizing the results of the study to similar
groups of subjects.

Because learning to understand how patients experience health
problems cannot always be addressed through an RCT,
nonexperimental descriptive studies are often used in nursing
research.
Nonexperimental descriptive studies describe, explain, or predict
phenomena. Examples of nonexperimental descriptive studies
include case control studies and correlational studies. A case
control study is one in which researchers study one group of
subjects with a certain condition (such as asthma) at the same
time as another group of subjects who do not have the condition.
A case control study determines if there is an association
between one or more predictor variables and the condition.
Correlational studies describe the relationship between two
variables (such as the age of the adolescents and if the
adolescents smoke). The researcher determines if the two
variables are correlated or associated with one another and to
what extent.
Surveys obtain information regarding the frequency, distribution,
and interrelation of variables among subjects in the study.
Evaluation research is a form of quantitative research that
determines how well a program, practice, procedure, or policy is
working.
