What were the major nursing research advancements in the 1970s? correct answers >> -Focus on nursing process -1st nursing diagnosis conference (NANDA) -studies about implementation & outcomes of nursing care What were the major nursing research advancements in the 1980s-1990s? correct answers >> -focus on conduct of clinical nursing -Wiche & Curn Projects: promoted use of research-based nursing interventions -NCNR: support clinical nursing research -Emergence of outcomes research -"Evidence-based" term first used What were the major nursing research advancements in the 21st century? correct answers >> -central vision: conducts quality studies to guide practice -strong focus on EBP -funding expanded for research to include: illness tx, health promotion/prevention -AHRQ, NINR, ANA organizations promote research for EBP

  1. descriptive What is descriptive research? correct answers >> Purpose: explore, describe phenomena in real life situations Conclusions:
  2. discover a new meaning
  3. describe what exists
  4. determine frequency with which something occurs
  5. categorize information What is correlational research? correct answers >> Purpose: examine relationship between 2+ variables, determines type (positive/negative) & degree (strength) of relationship Conclusions:
  6. explain nature of relationship (NOT: to determine cause & effect) What is quasi-experimental research? correct answers >> Purpose: examine cause/effect relationship among independent & dependent variables

  4. randomization
  5. Controlled manipulation of independent variable
  6. control of experimental situation (control or comparison group) What are the characteristics of qualitative research? correct answers >> 1) Generates knowledge about meaning through discovery

How are basic & applied research related? correct answers

-complimentary approaches to generate knowledge

  1. basic knowledge is first discovered by basic research
  2. new knowledge tested in practice using applied research Define "rigor" in terms of research correct answers >> - Standard of discipline, accuracy, precision, & objectivity -Strict attention to rules and procedures Why is rigor important in research? correct answers >> allows us to have confidence in findings of the research What is the purpose of "control" in research? correct answers >> -"rules" to decrease the possibility of error in research (i.e. Confounding variables) -Decreasing errors in the research = more confidence that findings are accurate reflection of reality Why is control important? correct answers >> -Without adequately considering/controlling confounding variables, we lack confidence in the study findings
