    Study Notes

    Evaluating Quantitative Research

    • Internal validity ensures that the study accurately reflects the causal relationship between variables.
    • External validity determines whether the study findings can be applied to a larger population.
    • Reliability focuses on the consistency of the measurement tools used in the study.
    • Generalizability assesses if research findings can be applied to other situations or populations.
    • STROBE statement is used to evaluate observational studies.
    • CONSORT guidelines are used to evaluate randomized controlled trials.

    Evaluating Qualitative Research

    • Credibility ensures that the findings are trustworthy and accurately represent participants' perspectives.
    • Transferability evaluates how well findings can be applied in different contexts.
    • Dependability assesses whether the findings would remain consistent if the study were repeated.
    • Confirmability ensures that the findings are based on the data rather than researcher bias.
    • COREQ checklist ensures comprehensive reporting of qualitative research.

    Integrating Evidence into Practice

    • PICO format effectively frames clinical questions.
    • Databases like PubMed, CINAHL, and Cochrane Library are valuable resources for evidence-based practice (EBP).
    • EBP involves implementation, evaluation of findings, and evaluating outcomes.
    • Barriers to EBP include lack of time, insufficient training in research appraisal, and organizational resistance.
