-develop/implement/evaluate/revise protocols, policies, guidelines -conduct clinical studies in collaboration w/ nurse researchers What are the roles of PHD nurses w/ postdoctoral education in research? correct answers >> -full researcher role w/ funded program of research -lead/participate in nursing & interdisciplinary research teams -experts in their research area -mentor PHD-prepared researchers How are (1) clinical expertise (2) best research evidence & (3) patient needs/values related in forming evidence based practice? correct answers >> clinical expertise & patient needs/values are considered & driven by the best research evidence to form EBP (see diagram on slide #12 of chapter 1 PPT) What are the ultimate goals of nursing? correct answers >> -Help your pt. -Harm prevention & reduction
What are three examples of CONTROL study questions? correct answers >> 1. If the BRX antibiotic-impregnated catheter is utilized for diabetic women post-operatively, does the rate of UTI decrease?
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
What is the scientific method? correct answers >> Incorporates all procedures scientists have used, currently use, or may use in the future to pursue knowledge What is quantitative research? correct answers >> - objective, systematic, & formal process -obtains numerical data -predominant research method in nursing currently What is qualitative research? correct answers >> - subjective, systematic, interactive process -holistic approach -describes life experiences & gives them meaning -informed by: naturalistic, interpretive, humanistic philosophy What determines whether to it is qualitative or quantitative research? correct answers >> -what is the problem being studied? -what is the purpose of the study?
Less powerful than experimental research because it involves a lower level of control in one of the areas of:
Describe intervention research: correct answers >> investigates effectiveness of a nursing intervention in achieving desired outcome or outcomes in a natural setting What is the best research evidence for practice? correct answers >> -summary of highest quality, empirical knowledge in specific area of healthcare, developed from synthesis of quality studies -generated from systematic reviews, meta-analyses, & evidence based practice What is a systematic review? correct answers >> - structured, comprehensive synthesis of research literature -based on randomized controlled trials (sometimes includes a meta-analysis) What is meta-analysis? correct answers >> -statistically pooling results from previous studies into a single quantitative analysis -provides one of the highest levels of evidence about an intervention's effectiveness
What is an integrative review? correct answers >> - structured, systematic review -incorporates all types of study designs What is meta-synthesis? correct answers >> -systematic compiling & integration of qualitative study results -expands understanding & develops a unique interpretation of study findings in selected area (focus on interpretation rather than combining of study results) What is mixed-methods systematic review? correct answers
-synthesizing both quantitative & qualitative studies What are the EBP guidelines? correct answers >> - Rigorous, explicit clinical guidelines based on the best research evidence available -developed by team/panel of expert researchers; clinicians; consumers, policymakers, and economists How many levels of evidence are there on the rating system for hierarchy of evidence? correct answers >> seven levels
What is the purpose, pros, and cons of BASIC RESEARCH? correct answers >> Purpose: generate & refine theory and build constructs Pros: findings more theoretical in nature; generalizable to various settings/populations Cons: Findings often not directly useful in practice Example: a study to describe of the chemical structure of cocaine. (to decide how/why people use cocaine, discover the addictive properties) What is the purpose, pros, and cons of APPLIED RESEARCH? correct answers >> Purpose: directly influence or improve clinical practice; to solve problems, to make decisions Pros: Used to test theories and validate its usefulness in practice Cons: findings relevant to specific problems, making them less generalizable to other settings/populations Example: determine effectiveness of a nurse-managed tele- monitoring program on blood pressure of urban African Americans
How are basic & applied research related? correct answers
-complimentary approaches to generate knowledge
