Week 3: Elements of Quantitative Research: Design and Sampling

2828 unread replies.9090 replies.

The focus of the Week 3 discussion is on two important elements of quantitative research studies- design and sampling. The approach or design, quantitative or qualitative, also applies to EBP projects. Both quantitative and qualitative have different designs or traditions that fall under these two broad categories.

Select a single-study quantitative research study article related to your specialty track and provide the permalink to the article. Then discuss each of the following items.

• Identify whether the research study design is experimental, quasiexperimental, or nonexperimental. Provide the rationale for your answer.
• Identify the appropriate representation for the research study article you selected using the nomenclature of X for intervention, O for observation and data collection, and R for random a assignment to a research study group.
• Identify the type of sampling (probability vs. nonprobability) that was used in the research study article you selected.
• Identify one advantage and one disadvantage to the sampling type used (probability vs. nonprobability).
• Identify whether there was random assignment to research study groups in the research study article you have selected.
• If random assignment to groups was used, how does this strengthen the research study design?

Week 8: Future Use of Evidence-Based Practice

11 unread reply.11 reply.

The lesson for Week 8 asks you to objectively reflect on your current use of evidence-based practice. Throughout this course you have worked hard and created a template for an EBP project proposal. Rather than look to the past, this discussion asks you to look to the future—your future as an MSN-prepared advanced practice nurse!

You are a nurse leader in your future advanced practice track-based setting. You notice that although nurses say they use evidence-based practice (EBP), you find very few examples of this. As the leader, you decide to develop an environment that fosters EBP. Please respond to each of the following topics.

• How would you role model EBP in your future advanced practice setting? Be specific!
• How would you foster an organizational culture that promotes EBP? How would you promote EBP throughout the entire organization?
• You have one staff member who constantly says, "We have never done it this way—why change?" What actions would you take to change him or her from a distracter to a promoter of EBP?
