GCU NRS433 All Weeks Discussions
Week 1 Discussion
DQ1 PICOT
is utilized by the health care community to identify and study a nursing or
medical practice problem. Consequently, PICOT examples that may provide insight
into the use of the PICOT process, may not be relevant to nursing practice as
they are based on a medical practice problem.
Describe
the difference between a nursing practice problem and a medical practice
problem. Provide one example of each. Discuss why is it important to ensure
your PICOT is based on a nursing practice problem.
DQ2 Nursing
research is used to study a dilemma or a problem in nursing. Examine a problem
you have seen in nursing. Provide an overview of the problem and discuss why
the problem should be studied. Provide rational and support for your answer.
NRS433 Introduction to Nursing Research
Week 2 Discussion
DQ1 Qualitative
data has been described as voluminous and sometimes overwhelming to the
researcher. Discuss two strategies that would help a researcher manage and
organize the data.
DQ2 The
three types of qualitative research are phenomenological, grounded theory, and
ethnographic research. Compare the differences and similarities between two of
the three types of qualitative studies and give an example of each.
NRS433 Introduction to Nursing Research
Week 3 Discussion
DQ1 Provide
examples of experimental and nonexperimental research design. Contrast the
levels of control applied to each.
DQ2 Describe
sampling theory and provide examples to illustrate your definition. Discuss generalizability
as it applies to nursing research.
NRS433 Introduction to Nursing Research
Week 4 Discussion
DQ1 Compare
independent variables, dependent variables,
and extraneous variables. Describe two
ways that researchers attempt to control extraneous variables. Support your
answer with peer-reviewed articles.
DQ2 Describe
the “levels of evidence” and provide an example of the type of
practice change that could result from each.
NRS433 Introduction to Nursing Research
Week 5 Discussion
DQ1 The
theoretical foundations of qualitative and quantitative methods are very
different, but many researchers believe both methods should be used in the
research study to increase validity and reliability. What advantages or
disadvantages do you see in using both types of methods in a nursing study?
Support your answer with current evidence-based literature.
DQ2 According
to the textbook, nurses in various settings are adopting a research-based (or
evidence-based) practice that incorporates research findings into their decisions
and interactions with clients. How do you see this being applied in your
workplace?
