Across
  1. 9. the specific query researches want to answer in addressing the research problem
  2. 10. acronym which quantifies "typical error" on a measure; is in the units of measurement of the measure itself
  3. 11. these groups require additional protection because they are unable to make a truly informed decision about study participation due to diminished autonomy or because circumstances heighten the risk of harm
  4. 14. divides the population into homogeneous strata to ensure representation of subgroups
  5. 17. procedures are increasingly being used in nursing research to untangle complex relationships among three or more variables
  6. 18. the study of the studies' methodologic rigor; Patterson's metastudy method integrates this component
  7. 19. a formal scrutiny of the research process and audit trail documents by an independent external auditor
  8. 20. observing from a fixed location
  9. 21. a common method of displaying frequency information geographically
  10. 23. designed to assess the effectiveness of clinical interventions can unfold in a series of phases
  11. 24. variables that have distinct categories that do not represent a quantity (ex. blood type)
  12. 25. this results when a bias operates in a consistent direction
Down
  1. 1. graphic, theory-driven representations of phenomena and their interrelationships using symbols or diagrams and a minimal use of words
  2. 2. information on the dependent variable is collected over a period of time before and after the intervention
  3. 3. used to test hypotheses about differences in proportions
  4. 4. questions permit respondents to reply in narrative fashion
  5. 5. articles available in this format, access is becoming easier through online sources
  6. 6. quantitative research that is typically conducted within this traditional method, which is a systematic controlled process
  7. 7. acronym; a pattern in which the value of the variable that is missing is related to its missingness
  8. 8. an overlapping concept with EBP that concern efforts to use research as a basis for clinical decisions; starts with a research-based innovation that gets evaluated for possible use in practice
  9. 12. one strand of design occurring prior to and informing the second strand
  10. 13. sampling to the point at which no new information is obtained and redundancy is achieved
  11. 15. a design that emerges in the field as the study unfolds
  12. 16. concerns the extent to which the implementation of a treatment is faithful to its plan
  13. 22. coding in which only variables relating to a core category are coded
