Professor's comment: Class,
This week we are continuing our discussion on methods as well as data collection. How does a researcher ensure that reliability and validity are maintained in instruments and between raters?
You are also asked to read the above fast facts from the ANA. What was your impression of this data collected? What do you believe the intent was of the researcher who designed the survey? Furthermore, discuss instruments, tools, reliability and validity.
We will continue our discussion in this thread talking about various instruments and how the strength of an instrument is an important part of the research process. Often times if the data collection instrument is poor, then the results will be, too.
We will be working toward the following Course Outcomes in this thread:
• Apply research principles to the interpretation of the content of published research studies.
• Evaluate published nursing research for credibility and lab significance related to evidence-based practice.
• Recognize the role of research findings in EBP.
