m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H




hand washing on the incidence of nosocomial (hospital-acquired) infections in
m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H




acute care settings. An article presented findings at a level of significance of <0.01.
m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H




This indicates that

A) The control group and the experimental group were more than 99% similar.
m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H




B) The findings of the study have less than 1% chance of being attributable to chance.

m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H




study results most likely represent a no chance event. A level of significance of <0.01
m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H




indicates that there is less than 1% probability that the result is due to chance.

2. A nurse has expressed skepticism to a colleague about the value of nursing research,
m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H




claiming that nursing research has little relevance to practice. How can the nurses colleague
m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H

m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H




grant money, something that didnt use to be the case.
m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H

m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H




has greatly increased the credibility of the profession.

C) The growth of nursing research has caused nursing to be viewed as a true
m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H




profession, rather than simply as a trade or a skill.
m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H




D) The application of nursing research has the potential to improve nursing practice
m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H




and patient outcomes.

m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H




ultimately, to improve patient outcomes. This supersedes the contributions of nursing research to
m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H




education programs, grant funding, or the public view of the profession.

m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H m8H
