Reflect on your learning about Quantitative and Qualitative research; share two ways that helped you understand how they are different.
Choose one category of study design that you found interesting and describe; include what you learned about the design and how you believe it can help study nursing problems.
Refer back to your clinical nursing priority problem and
evidence you located for your week 3 assignment:
• The nursing-evidenced practice (NEBP) committee has requested for
you to make a recommendation to the team: Describe the type of
research and the design that you believe would be the best way to
study your problem. Discuss your rationale.
Answer :
Quantitative research design :
It can be measurable, it is either descriptive or experimental,
In descriptive research design the variables can be measured once, but in experimental research design the variables can be measurable before and after implementation of interventions.
Qualitative research design :
It can not be measurable, but these are depending upon prior research experiences.
Like these this two are different.
One category of research design :
Quantitative non experimental descriptive research design :
In these only we will collect the data from the sample and we should not done testing here.
Just only once measuring the variables once.
Ex : A Comparative study to Assess the knowledge regarding anorexia nervosa among rural and urban adolescent girls, at kurnool.
It is mononucleosis experimental descriptive research design here we are just collecting the knowledge levels of adolescent girls regarding Anorexia Nervosa and measuring the variables once and comparing both rural and urban adolescent girls.
These study rationale is now a days almost all adolescent girls are want be in slim to maintain "0 size ".
So to know the levels of knowledge among rural and urban adolescent girls we are selecting this problem, and comparing their knowledge levels regarding nutritious diet and dieting everything.
So that we can know the knowledge levels who are having high.

This week we learned how research designs are different and help us to objectively study nursing problems; the key is to decide which type of research and design will serve the purpose or intent to find a solution. After completing Week 4 readings and lesson, answer the following: Reflect on your learning about Quantitative and Qualitative research; share two ways that helped you understand how they are different. Choose one category of study design that you found interesting and describe;...
If you are doing a qualitative study or a quantitative study, how do the variables or phenomenon addressed in your study inform the method, design, research questions, and data collection instrument to be used? What are two instruments that might be used to gather data for your study? Why do you believe these instruments will gather the appropriate data to answer the research questions and address the problem?
Share what you learned about descriptive analysis (statistics), inferential analysis (statistics), and qualitative analysis of data; include something that you learned that was interesting to you and your thoughts on why data analysis is necessary for discovering credible findings for nursing. Compare clinical significance and statistical significance; include which one is more meaningful to you when considering application of findings to nursing practice.
Reflect back over your time in the course and describe how your thinking has changed about nursing research and evidence-based practice; describe one new learning during this course that you believe was the most helpful.
The focus of this assignment is to prompt you to reflect on your learning this term. You will demonstrate your understanding of the interplay among research, theory, and practice through your critical thinking evidenced in your responses to the discussion board items. You will also investigate examples of the globalization of nursing. Discussion Board: Describe what the following quote means to you. "Theory without practice is empty and practice without theory is blind" (*Cross, 1981, p. 110). Explore the Sigma...
After you review the designs, describe which research design you would expect to find when searching for evidence relevant to your own research question from Week 2. Why? Explain your answer. The most common sampling method is the convenience sample; therefore, many of the studies that you find for evidence use this sampling method. What are the implications for using a convenience sample on the way you interpret and use the findings? Compare qualitative and quantitative research designs and outline...
Write a qualitative research critique regarding improving medication administration and decreasing medication errors. Find a qualitative article about medication errors and answer the following questions: What was the problem that the authors were trying to answer? What were the research questions? What type of research design was used? Describe the population studied. What were the characteristics of that population (age, gender, etc.)? How were the research subjects chosen for the study? What type of sampling was used? How was the...
Develop a searchable/answerable research question using the PICO(T) format. 1. Describe the focus of your question (Is it an intervention, therapy, prognosis/ prediction, diagnosis/diagnostic testing, procedure, quality/safety or meaning question?) 2. Describe your problem that includes the background of the problem and why it is one that nursing should address 3. What type of research study would you design to address this problem/issue (Would it be a qualitative, quantitative, or mixed methods study? Will the study involve one-time data collection or multiple time...
Directions What is a research proposal? The purpose of a research proposal is to identify and formulate questions that arise from nursing practice and to design a research project to study the identified problem. The goal of a research proposal is to present and justify a research idea you have and to present the practical ways in which you think this research should be conducted. Research proposals contain extensive literature reviews and must provide persuasive evidence that there is a...
Reflect upon and describe the strength and a challenge you have identified about yourself in the context of your healthcare experience at the individual, family, community, or population level. Provide at least one specific example and describe the setting, duration of the experience, skills learned and applied, and how your interactions with others have helped you clarify your future aspirations as a nurse. Cultural humility is an essential aspect of healthcare and nursing. Cultural humility includes three principles: Lifelong learning...
