NURS 328 - Quiz 2| 406 Questions| With Solutions
/. research studies - Answer-✅often peer reviewed by two reviewers and are BLIND
reviewed
/.hypotheses - Answer-✅used when conducting experimental or quasi experimental
research in the quantitative paradigm.
/.A hypothesis - Answer-✅Consists of an independent variable and a dependent
variable; these variables are described in relation to each another.
/.Experimental - Answer-✅In a(n) ___________ design the researcher controls
(manipulates) the independent variable and randomly assigns subjects to different
conditions.
/.pre-experimental - Answer-✅A(n) __________design does not include mechanisms to
compensate for the absence of either randomization or control group
/.quasi-experimental - Answer-✅In a(n) _______ design the investigator does not
randomly assign participants but does manipulate the independent variable and controls
to enhance the internal validity.
/.non-experimental - Answer-✅In a(n) ___________ design the researcher collects data
without introducing any treatment.
5. This experimental design is sometimes called a crossover design. In the repeated
measure design one group of subjects is exposed to more than one condition in random
order.
/.repeated measure - Answer-✅This experimental design is sometimes called a
crossover design. In the ________________design one group of subjects is exposed to
more than one condition in random order.
/.non-equivalent - Answer-✅This is a type of quasi-experimental design that involves a
comparison group that was not developed on the basis of random assignment. It is
called a _______________ control group design.
/.retrospective study - Answer-✅A(n) ________________ begins with the occurrence of
the dependent variable in the present and then links this effect to some presumed
cause which occurred in the past.
,/.dependent variable - Answer-✅The outcome factor; the variable that may change in
response to manipulations of the independent variable.
/.experimental study - Answer-✅the researcher manipulates one of the variables and
tries to determine how the manipulation influences other variables
/.hypthesis - Answer-✅explanation of observations that are testable through
experimentation or observation, educated guess
/.independent variable - Answer-✅The experimental factor that is manipulated; the
variable whose effect is being studied.
/.Non-experimental - Answer-✅Without the use of a comparison or control group, has
little control over the factors that affect the validity of the results.
/.quasi-experimental design - Answer-✅An experiment that does not require random
assignment to conditions.
/.Hypotheses - Answer-✅statements about a relationship between two or more
variables
/.Independent variable - Answer-✅Also known as the treatment
the variable that is manipulated
/.Dependent variable - Answer-✅Is the outcome
is caused by the independent variable
/.Research studies in the quantitative paradigm - Answer-✅Three main types:
Experimental, quasi experimental, nonexperimental
/.in an experimental design - Answer-✅The researcher manipulates the independent
variable or introduces an intervention
Subjects are randomly assigned to a treatment or a control group
(Randomized controlled trial)
(May be used to test a new drug)
/.A Quasi experimental design - Answer-✅differs slightly from experimental
subjects are not randomly assigned to reatment or a control group
,the researcher is still manipulating the independent variable or introducing an
intervention
/.non-experimental research - Answer-✅When a researcher collects data without
manipulating the independent variable or introducing an intervention it is.... (eg survey
research)
/.etymology - Answer-✅the study of word origins
/.Ethnography - Answer-✅the scientific description of the customs of individual peoples
and cultures.
/.grounded theory - Answer-✅an inductive method of generating theory from data by
creating categories in which to place data and then looking for relationships among
categories
/.Hermeneutics - Answer-✅the branch of knowledge that deals with interpretation,
especially of the Bible or literary texts.
/.Indigenous Research Methods - Answer-✅Indigenous ways of knowing, living in and
learning about the world.
/.Narrative Inquiry - Answer-✅research that views stories - whether gathered through
field notes, interviews, oral tales, blogs, letters, or autobiographies - as fundamental to
human experience.
/.phenomena - Answer-✅observable facts; subjects of scientific investigation
/.Qualitative studies - Answer-✅involve the exploration of phenomena
/.methods or designs used in qualitative paradigm - Answer-✅Ethnography,
phenomenology, grounded theory,
/.other common methods for exploring qualitative research questions - Answer-
✅Narrative inquiry, hermeneutics, and the qualitative descriptive approach
/.qualitative research approaches - Answer-✅Approaches that are continually emerging
/.ANSWER: B Phenomenology
Quinn's study focuses on a lived experience that would likely be explored using a
descriptive phenomenologic approach. - Answer-✅1. Quinn studied the experience of
learning about a parent's cancer diagnosis, from the perspective of adolescents aged 15
to 18 years.
, /.ANSWER: A Ethnography
Petrik's study focuses on how members of a particular American subculture provide
end-of-life care. - Answer-✅2. Petrik studied end-of-life caregiving for elders living on a
Hopi Reservation in Arizona.
/.ANSWER: B Phenomenology
Futterer likely used an interpretive phenomenologic approach to study what respite
meant to caregivers who care for a family member with dementia. - Answer-✅3.
Futterer studied the meaning of the respite experience of family caregivers of patients
with dementia.
/.ANSWER: C Grounded Theory
Viator's study focuses on the process of decision making and following through on a
decision and would most likely use grounded theory methods - Answer-✅4. Viator
explored how pregnant women managed the process of deciding on and arranging a
home birth.
/.ANSWER: A Ethnography
Neumann undertook a focused ethnography of the cultural norms and behaviors of
patients in residence at a mental health care facility. - Answer-✅5. Neumann's study
focused on reciprocal care-seeking and caregiving behavior among patients within the
culture of an in-patient mental health care facility.
/.non-probability sampling - Answer-✅-Includes systematic sampling
-Quota sampling is an example
-Snowball sampling is an example
