Institutional Review Board (IRB): The purpose of an IRB is to protect the rights and welfare of human research participants by reviewing, approving, and monitoring studies to ensure they meet ethical and regulatory standards.
Deductive vs. Inductive Reasoning: Deductive reasoning starts with a general theory or hypothesis and tests it with specific observations, while inductive reasoning begins with specific observations and develops broader generalizations or theories.
Disadvantages of Convenience Sampling: Convenience sampling can lead to sampling bias and limit the generalizability of the findings, as it does not represent the entire population accurately.
Example of Data Collection Method: Surveys—these can efficiently gather data from a large group of people and are particularly useful for collecting quantitative data.
Internal vs. External Validity: Internal validity refers to the extent to which a study can show a causal relationship without external influences, while external validity indicates how well the study results generalize to other settings, populations, or times.
Grounded Theory Research: Grounded theory is a qualitative research method focused on generating theories based on data collected during research. It’s best used to explore processes or understandings in areas with limited existing theory.
Usable Knowledge for Clinical Practice: A nurse determines the usability of research by critically appraising the study’s relevance, validity, and applicability, including considering the quality of evidence and its alignment with patient needs and clinical guidelines.
