Using Research and Statistics in Health Care *14
this topic addresses the following learning objectives: * Explain the role of research in developing knowledge for use in health care evidence-based practice situations. * Identify several ways that research can influence healthcare policy. * Identify peer-reviewed healthcare research articles. * Differentiate between descriptive and inferential research questions in a peer-reviewed article on healthcare research. * Identify the problem statement/purpose/aim in a peer-reviewed article on healthcare research. * Identify the theoretical or conceptual framework used in a peer-reviewed article on healthcare research. * Differentiate between Anderson’s model of health care use and the Theory of Planned Behavior. * Identify the research question(s) in a peer-reviewed article on healthcare research. * Differentiate between descriptive and inferential questions in a peer-reviewed article on healthcare research. * Identify the hypothesis being tested in a peer-reviewed article on healthcare research. * Identify and describe the variables present in a peer-reviewed article on healthcare research. * Differentiate between observational and quasi-experimental/experimental study designs in peer-reviewed articles on healthcare research. * Determine the type of sample used in a peer-reviewed article on healthcare research. * Identify the assumptions and limitations of findings in a peer-reviewed article on healthcare research.
four main purposes of empirical research: description, exploration, explanation, and prediction and control research studies use two different categories of statistics to analyze the data collected: descriptive and inferential. Descriptive statistics are simply numerical or graphical summaries of data, and may include charts, graphs, and simple summary statistics such as means and standard deviations to describe characteristics of a population
