Description
Research studies are the bedrock of evidence-based practice ... but your formal education may have been "thin" in systematically introducing research study designs, or with limited reinforcement, research designs may be somewhat dormant in your repertoire of knowledge and skills. In this seminar, both quantitative and qualitative research designs will be examined. Quantitative designs will include experimental designs, such as randomized controlled trials, as well as quasi-experimental designs, such as cohort studies, plus descriptive studies. Qualitative designs, such as thematic analysis, will be included recognizing that qualitative designs often involve interviews or focus groups for data collection. In addition, the more recent mixed method design, which incorporates both quantitative and qualitative studies, will be addressed.
As a result of examining research study designs, you will be better equipped as a critical consumer of research without shifting into an exclusively research-focused career.
Upon successful completion of this one-hour course, the participant should be able to:
- Relate study designs to evidence-based practice.
- Examine common quantitative research study designs.
- Examine common qualitative research study designs.
- Describe mixed methods research studies.
