Health Medical Homework Help

Need help with my Nursing question – I’m studying for my class.

Consider a patient centered issue you have observed recently. Formulate a research question related to that issue. Identify the independent and dependent variable, hypothesis and type of hypothesis. What type of research study design would you use to address that issue, what type of sampling or sampling strategy would you use? Defend your choices with support from your textbook or other peer-reviewed journal source.

Discussion Board Prompt:  This week’s DB prompt has a lot of moving parts but the intent is to try and pull together key concepts already learned dealing with quantitative research.  Why?  The vast majority of the studies you will use to apply to patient care will come from quantitative studies, especially those at the higher level of evidence- experimental and quasi-experimental.  To assist you in navigating and answering all aspects of the prompt, consider the following places where you can refresh what we have largely already covered: examples of research questions can be found on page 77, Box 3-2 (Chapter 3); independent and dependent variables are addressed on pages 81-82; info on developing hypotheses and types of hypotheses is also located in Chapter 3.2; experimental and quasi-experimental design types are listed in Chapter 7-7.1 and 7.2-(remember IV and DV are associated with these 2 major types of quantitative research); and finally, types of sampling are located in Chapter 11-11.2.
