Section 3 Terms Flashcards
a methodology that synthesizes quantitative, qualitative, and comparative effectiveness research to provide a comprehensive understanding of the human condition
integrative review
highly structured studies of cause & effect applied to determine the effectiveness of an intervention. random assignment of subjects and high level of control
experimental design
the board required in research institutions that reviews and oversees all research involving human subjects and ensures studies meet all federal regulation criteria, including ethical standards
institutional review board (IRB)
a review of study proposals that pose no risk to subjects, the full IRB is NOT required to participate
exempt review
a review of study proposals that pose minimal risk to subjects, 1 or 2 IRB members present
expedited review
a review of study proposals that pose more than minimal risk to subjects, that do not qualify for exempt status, full IRB committee present
full review
- P population of interest
- I intervention under study
- C comparison that makes up control
- O outcome of interest
PICO in quantitative studies
the traditional approach to scientific research in which variables are identified and measured in a reliable and valid way
quantitative research
a design that involves the analysis of 2 variables to describe the strength and direction of the relationship between them
correlation design
an outcome of interest that occurs after the introduction of an independent variable, the effect of cause & effect
dependent variable
p value is the probability the results were due to standard error. If the p value is small, then the probability that the results were due to error is small. If the p value is large, then the probability that the results were due to error is large
p value
the error that arises from the sampling procedure, it is directly affected by variability and indirectly affected by sample size
standard error
the measurement of the magnitude of the impact of an intervention
effect size
a nonprobability sampling method that relies on referrals from initial subjects to recruit additional subjects
snowball/referral sampling
a method of analysis in qualitative research that involves a review of data as they are gathered and comparison to data that have been interpreted to support or reject earlier conclusions
constant comparison
