Conclusion
- The of the research report that identities the final
- decision or determination regarding the research problem
-
Data
- The
- information collected in a study that is specifically related to the research
- problem
-
Data analysis:
- a process that pulls information together or examines
- connections between pieces of information to make a clearer picture of all the
- information collected
-
Descriptive result
- a summary of result
- from a study without comparing the result with other information
-
Hypothesis:
- A predication regarding the relationships or effects of
- selected factors on other factors
-
Literature review:
- a synthesis of existing published writings that describes
- what is known or has been studied regarding the particular research question or
- purpose
-
Limitations
- The aspect of how the study was conducted that create
- uncertainty concerning the conclusion that can be divided from the study as
- well as decision that can be based on it
-
Measure:
- the
- specific method(s) used to assign a number or numbers to an aspect or factor
- being studied
-
Meta-analysis:
- a quantitative approach to knowledge by taking the numbers
- from different studies that addressed the same research problem and using
- statistics to summarize those numbers, looking for combined results that would
- not happen by chance alone
-
Metasynthesis:
- a report of a study of a group of single research studies using
- qualitative methods
-
Methods:
- the methods section of a research report describes the
- overall process of implementing the research study, including who was included
- in the study, how information was collected, and what intervention, if any, were tested
-
Multivariate:
- more than two variables; multivariate studies examine three
- or more factors and the relationships among the different factors
-
Problem
- a section of a research report that that
- describe the gap in knowledge that will be addressed by the research study or a
- statement of the general gap knowledge that will be addressed in a study
-
Procedure
- specific actions taken by researchers to gather information
- about the problem or phenomenon being studied
-
Process improvement:
- a management system in which all participants involved
- strive to improve customers
-
P value:
- A numerical statement of the percentage of the time. the
- results reported would happened by chance along
-
Qualitative methods:
- Approaches to research that focus on understanding the
- complexity of humans within the context of their lives & tends to focus on building
- a whole or complete picture of a phenomenon of interest
-
Quality improvement:
a process of evaluation of health care service to see whether they meet specified standardards or outcome of care
-
Quality improvement study
a study that evaluates whether or not certain expected clinical care was completed
-
Quantitative methods
approaches toresearch that focus on understanding and breaking down the different parts of a picture to see how they do or do not connect; quantitative method involve the collection of information that is very special and limited to the particular pieces of information being studied
-
Results
a summary of the actual findings or information collected in a reseach study
-
Sample
a subset of the total group of interest in a research study; tthe individuals in the sample are actually studied to learn about the total group
-
Significance
- A statistical term indicating a low likelihood that any
- differences or relationships found in a study happened by chance alone
-
what is a t test
a statistic that test for differences in means on a variable between two groups
-
Systematic review:
- the product of a process that includes asking clinical
- questions, doing a structured and organized search for theory-based information and research related to the question, reviewing and synthesizing the results
- from that search and reaching conclusions about the implication for practice
-
themes
resulting in qualitative research that are ideas or concepts that are implicit in the data and are recurrent throughout the data; abstrctions that reflect phrase, words, or ideas that appear repeatedly as a researcher analyzes what people have said about a particular experience, feeling, or situation. A theme summarizes and sythesizes discrete ideas or phrase to create a picture out of the words that were collected in the research study
-
Theory:
an abstract explanation describing how different factors or phenomena relate
