Study Notes
Bivariate Statistical Tests Overview
- Bivariate statistical tests are essential for evaluating relationships between two variables.
- These tests encompass a range of methodologies tailored to specific research questions in nursing practice.
Research in Nursing
- Studies explore diverse areas, from specific treatments (e.g., cooling blankets) to intricate interventions (e.g., smoking cessation).
- Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) necessitates rigorous evaluation of these interventions.
Treatment/Therapy Example
- A study by Ling et al. (2014) evaluated a school-based healthy lifestyle intervention to combat childhood obesity in rural settings.
Diagnosis and Assessment Studies
- Many nursing studies focus on developing reliable tools for patient assessment and outcome measurement.
- Pasek et al. (2015) created and assessed an electronic headache pain diary for children post-concussion.
Prognosis Research
- Prognostic studies estimate disease outcomes and help inform long-term care planning.
- Storey and Von Ah (2015) investigated hyperglycemia in leukemia patients, assessing its impact on neutropenia and hospital length of stay.
Research Purposes and Characteristics
- Research aims can include treatment effect evaluation, diagnosis, prognosis, and etiology.
- Understanding these aims is critical for developing valid research questions and hypotheses.
Critical Evaluation of Research
- This book provides guidance on assessing research relevance and quality.
- Key questions for evaluating research include relevance to nursing practice, methodological approach, purpose alignment with EBP, cause probing nature, and potential clinical implications.
Resource Utilization
- A Resource Manual accompanies the book to facilitate application and critique of research studies.
- Practical examples in the manual assist in honing evaluation skills critical for nursing research.
