Q Rest : Is a systematic and objective attempt to provide answers to certain
questions
Q Rest : Is a systematic, controlled, empirical and critical investigation of
hypothetical propositions about the presumed relations among natural
phenomena.
Q Research: In its broadest sense is an attempt to gain solutions to problems. Mo!
precisely, it is the collection of data in a rigorously controlled situation for the
purpose of prediction or explanation.ula pglallaatioaals Topic: Principles of Research

The use of the best ical evidence in making patient care decisions
* The basis for physician decisions; influences many recent clinical
practice changes
* Produces decisions that are clinically appropriate, cost-effective, and
result in positive client outcomes.Sula oolall auto Gals Topic: Principles of Research

* Research is systematic, rigorous, logical investigation that aims to answer
questions about phenomena.
* Evidence-based practice is the collection, interpretation, and integration of valid
research evidence, combined with clinical expertise and an understanding of
patient and family values and preferences to inform clinical decision making.‘ut palollautioaals Topic: Principles of Research

* Evidence-based practice allows one to systematically use the best avs
evidence from research with the integration of individual clinical expe
as the patient’s values and preferences, to make clinical decisions.Aula anal audio als

@ Quality: the extent to which a study's design, implementation, and analysis minimizes
bias
@ Quantity: the number of studies that have evaluated the research question, including
overall sample size across studies, as well as the strength of the findings from data
analyses
@ Consistency: the degree to which other studies, with similar or different designs,
investigating the same research question report similar findings«O09

Two points: one end is the consumer and the another is the producers
* Consumers of medical research read research reports to develop new skills
and to keep up to date on relevant findings that may affect their practice
* Producers of medical research: physicians who actively participate in
designing and implementing research studies.
* Research utilization—the use of research findings in a practice setting—
depends on intelligent medical research consumers.‘ut palollautioaals Topic: Principles of Research

Aworld view; a general perspective on the complexities of the real
world, with certain assumptions about reality
Key paradigms for medical research:
— Positivist paradigm
— Naturalistic paradigm‘ut palollautioaals Topic: Principles of Research
Fakes Colege for Medea Sciences
* Positivist assumption: Reality exists; there is a real world driven by
natural causes.
* Naturalistic assumption: Reality is multiple and subjective, constructed

Qo According to the Scien FRAT EES LEAD collecting,
analyzing and interpreting information to answer questions.
Qo For a process to be called a research, the process must have certain
characteristics. It must be controlled, rigorous, systematic, valid &
verifiable, empirical, critical, Generalizable and Theory Development‘ut palollautioaals Topic: Principles of Research
Fokoch Clege x Mesel Soerces
Characteristics of Scientific Research
1. Controlled
In real life there are many factors that affect an outcome.
The concept of control implies that, in exploring causality in relation to
two variables (factors), you set up your study in a way that minimizes the
effects of other factors affecting the relationship.‘ut palollautioaals Topic: Principles of Research
Fakes Colege for Medea Sciences
Characteristics of Scientific Research
2. Rigorous
you must be careful in ensuring that the procedures followed to find
answers to questions are relevant, appropriate and justified.
Again, the degree of rigor varies markedly between the physical and
social sciences and within the social sciencesGuba polall auto aus Topic: Principles of Research

Characteristics of Scientific Research
3. Systematic
This implies that the procedure adopted to undertake an investigation
follow a certain logical sequence.
The different steps cannot be taken in a haphazard way, some
procedures must follow othersGuba polall auto aus Topic: Principles of Research
Fakes Colege for Medea Sciences
Characteristics of Scientific Research
4. Valid and Verifiable
This concept implies that whatever you conclude on the basis of your
findings is correct and can be verified by you and othersSula oolall auto Gals Topic: Principles of Research
Fokoch Clege x Mesel Soerces
Characteristics of Scientific Research
5. Empirical
This means that any conclusion drawn are based upon hard evidence
gathered from information collected from real life experiences or
observations.
The view that experience, especially of the senses, is the only source of
knowledge
The scientific method searches for evidence (empirical: real) through
observations, verified through our sense organs: sight, taste, touch, smell,
and hearing«O09
