Week 3 Discussion Latest 2017 September 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?

- control
over study conditions with the qualitative research approach;
- extending
or generalizing results from a sample to a larger group or population with the quantitative research approach; and
- extending
or generalizing results from a sample to a larger group or population with the qualitative research approach. Be sure to include scholarly references to support your information.

Week 6:
Statistical and Clinical Significance 3030 unread replies.8282 replies. The difference between statistically significant results and clinical significance is very interesting. For this discussion, respond to each of the following topics.
- Distinguish
between statistical and clinical significance of results.
- Would
it be possible to have research study results that supported the acceptance of the null hypothesis and demonstrate clinical significance? Provide a hypothetical example that supports your answer.
- If
you question the credibility of the results from a qualitative study, would the information have clinical significance for your practice area? Why or why not? Provide a hypothetical example that supports your answer.

Exploring Research Results 2020 unread replies.7373 replies. Using the following steps found within the translation phase of the Practice Evidence Translation (PET) model developed by Johns Hopkins, select a research result reported in a journal article that supports your PICOT/PICo question. Please respond to the following steps. Please note that wording of the steps may have been modified slightly from the PET so that they help with this posting. Include the permalink at the end of your posting.
- Using
references, identity the research result that you could use in your practice setting.

fit, feasibility, and appropriateness of the result for your practice setting.
- Using
Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA), outline an action plan.
- Identify
the resources (physical, personal, technology) needed to implement your action plan.

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?
