Hi students, my name is Dr. Susan Thomas, course leader for NR439 and I would like to welcome you to a short tutorial reviewing your week five assignment.
Your week 5 assignment is located in your week 5 module. If you click on it here. The purpose for completing this assignment is to help you demonstrate your understanding of the different ways that we can conduct research to study our nursing problems, the many types of designs, and some various ways we can choose our samples, as well as how research helps us to create a credible evidence based practice.
During our week 4 and 5, we have learned there are two types of research which we know we can choose either a quantitative approach to study a problem or a qualitative approach. These are two ways we can study our nursing problems. Once we have chosen our approach, then we can select differing designs based from either one of those approaches. We also learned during week 5 about samples which we use to specifically select who will participate in our study. We learned there are differing sampling strategies which we can use with our quantitative or qualitative research. I want you to know I designed this learning activity using our AACN standards of professional practice which requires a BSN to value evidenced-base practice and have knowledge of the fundamental elements of research, process, and design.
