1. Qualitative and
quantitative approaches have complementary strengths and
weaknesses.
2. Qualitative data are more
profitably integrated into studies that are basically quantitative
than vice versa.
3. The use of qualitative methods
as a preliminary step in the development of structured instruments
is an approach to building validity into the instruments.
4. Most nursing research
involves a mixed methods design.
5. The “dictatorship of the
research question” reflects a pragmatist position sometimes
associated with mixed methods research.
6. Two key dimensions of a mixed
methods research design are sequencing and
complementarity.
7. In a nested sampling design
for mixed methods studies, all the participants in one strand also
participate in the other strand.
8. A distinct feature of quality
improvement projects, compared to research studies, is that
approval from an ethics review committee is usually not
required.
9. Quality improvement
interventions include patient and provider education and
reminders.
10. The acronym “CER” refers to a type of
root cause analysis use in quality improvement planning:
continuously exploring reasons.
11. The Plan-Do-Study-Act cycle is
characteristic of outcomes research.
12. Phase III clinical trials are sometimes
referred to as efficacy studies.
13. Cost analyses are usually conducted in
conjunction with RCTs.
14. In nursing intervention research,
researchers may undertake in-depth research to gain the insights of
key stakeholders during the development phase.
15. Outcomes research requires an
experimental or quasi-experimental design.
16. One of the limitations of survey research
is that response rates tend to be low, especially when the data are
collected over the Internet.
17. When a researcher reanalyzes data from
prior research, the type of approach is a secondary
analysis.
18. The development of a new instrument to
measure an important nursing construct would be an example of a
secondary analysis.
