primary source of research
Give this one a try later!
a source that is data-based, theory, research written by the original person
who did it
- published research study
Meta-analysis (Quantitative)
Give this one a try later!
when the treatment effect of effect size is consistent from one study to the
next, meta-analysis can be used to identify this common effect
Case study
Give this one a try later!
Qualitative research:
- this method investigates a phenomenon/ event/ problem/ process/
activity/ or people over time to get in-depth description of dimensions an
processes of phenomenon
, - data: interview, observation & document
- data analysis: cycles / iterative (repetitive) process
- Q: evolves over time as study progresses
International Council of Nursing

uses networks, databases, websites, funding, and respect for cultural
perspectives to do global cross-cultural and cross-national studies
Post-Positivist Paradigm
Ontology - what exists
Give this one a try later!
- a material world exists but not all things can be understood, sensed, or
explained by cause and effect
- the senses provide us with an imperfect understanding of the external/
material world

systematic review
Give this one a try later!
literature review that uses rigorous methods to identify, critically appraise,
and synthesize primary studies.
- aka evidence studies that provide the best available objective / consumer
lens
Ontology

The study of being - what it means to say something exists or is real
Framing a Clinical Q
Give this one a try later!
framing elements include
P - patient / population / situation

C - Control (quantitative)
O - outcome (effect of treatment)
