Create a list of the independent variables you identified in your study (Hint: these are important client institutional environmental or patient characteristics)
1. Your instructor has reviewed several strategies to conduct and report on scientific research. Discuss the procedures in the positivistic scientific method and the components of this researchpaper. List two reasons why you agree or disagree with this worldview and how you might utilize it for your future research agenda.2. We have stated that the researcher must remember the equation [dependent variables = independent variables]. Discuss the differences between independent and dependent variables and the influenceone exerts upon the other. How was this theory influential in your study or project?3. Create a list of the independent variables you identified in your study (Hint: these are important client institutional environmental or patient characteristics). Give one example of avariable you could change or fix in a departmental governmental or organizational policy.4. When creating a study one must address the operational definitions for individual studies. Give 3 examples of operational definitions you encountered in your project. How does this process helpor hinder the researcher?5. Define the different scales of measurement (i.e. Ordinal Nominal Interval Ratio). In each of these scales of measure how would the researcher decide on which statistical analysis to use? Howdid you decide what methodology to use (theoretically you will tell me in your METHODS chapter what you decided to do with all of the data).6. Discuss the types of reliability. Why does a researcher in health care consider reliability an important component of their study?7. Define validity. Examine internal and external validities and list attributes or problems associated with validity issues (think from the perspective of a potential patient or an informed peerreviewer of your study).8. Discuss the characteristics of a quantitative research design. Name and discuss at least two designs from this worldview or viewpoint. Why would you decide to use this worldview or researchmethodology (instead of qualitative)?9. Discuss the characteristics of a qualitative research design. Name and discuss at least two designs from this worldview or viewpoint. Why would you decide to use this worldview or researchmethodology (instead of quantitative)?10. Your instructor has stated that the best positivistic (quantitative) studies often arise from a relativist study or (qualitative) framework of inquiry. Discuss advantages and disadvantagesof qualitative and quantitative research designs. If you had it to do over would you change the methodology you used in your study?
