Study Notes
Research Process
- Research process is a step-by-step process involving identifying, locating, assessing, and analyzing the research question, then developing and expressing ideas to find answers and choosing tasks and ways to carry them out.
- Factors affecting research process: researcher beliefs, researcher experience, ethical considerations, and resources.
Phases of Research Process
- A. Conceptual phase: preparing a general plan of real research, including formulating the problem.
- Phases of research process: conceptual, design, implementation, and analysis.
Formulation of Research Problem
- Selection of a research area: formulate a research problem by selecting a broad research topic from personal experience, literature, previous research, and theories in which the researcher is interested and has significance for the nursing profession.
- Reviewing literature and theories: reviewing nursing literature and theories to know what has already been done in the selected area of research.
- Delimiting the research topic: specifying variables, population, and setting of research study.
- Evaluating the research problem: evaluating the research problem for significance, researchability, and feasibility.
Outcome of Qualitative Research
- Improve conceptualization by identifying categories and themes.
- Non-experimental research design: descriptive, comparative, and exploratory designs.
Sampling
- Cluster sampling: primary sampling unit is the cluster, which consists of a group with the same characteristics.
- Advantages of cluster sampling: economical and practical, particularly when the population is large and widely differentiated.
- Disadvantages of cluster sampling: tends to contain more sampling errors than simple or stratified random sampling.
- Non-probability sampling methods: subjects are chosen by non-random methods, and every element of the target population does not have a chance of being selected.
- Biases of non-probability samples: subjects not typical of population, easily manipulated, and biased toward well-known population members.
- Types of non-probability sampling methods: accidental or convenient sampling, judgment or purposive sampling.
Data Analysis
- Definition: data analysis is the process of transforming data into knowledge.
- Purpose of research data analysis: to describe, explore, or explain phenomena, and to make predictions or recommendations.
- Principles of data analysis: accuracy, completeness, reliability, validity, and relevance.
- Process of data analysis: data preparation, data description, data transformation, and data interpretation.
