NURS 350 Abstracts: Quantitative and Qualitative
NURS 350 Abstracts: Quantitative and Qualitative
Please submit summaries of quantitative and qualitative research this week.
For this assignment, the goal is to learn about published research, research designs, and the various research methodologies in use.
Please select two original or primary studies: one quantitative and one qualitative, both related to the field of nursing.
Each study will require you to write an abstract.
The articles to be included in this collection should be original research.
No meta-analysis, integrative review or systemic review should be used in a review article.
The use of mixed-methods research is discouraged.
Instructions for the assignment:
The APA Style citation for the research article that is being reviewed should appear at the top of your abstracts.
Make sure you write your abstracts in your own words.
All of the assignment questions will not be answered by reading the abstracts of the studies you select.
Your abstracts should be accurate, brief, clear, between 150–250 words, and include only the most essential information.
Use current APA Style to format your paper and to cite your sources.
You are required to attach both research studies (the full articles) that you use to write your abstracts.The original research study articles may be copied onto a Word document or saved in a PDF format.
NOTE: Because submission of the original articles is part of the assignment requirements and is necessary for grading, any assignment submitted without the accompanying articles will be considered incomplete. An incomplete assignment will be initially assigned a zero. The student has the opportunity to submit articles to complete the assignment. However, if these are submitted after the due date and time, the late penalty will apply. After five days, submissions will not be accepted per University policy, and the grade will remain a zero.
Address the following questions in each of your abstracts:
1. What type of research is it (quantitative, qualitative)?
2. What was the research question(s) or hypothesis?
3. What is the sample (population), the sample size, and sample attributes (characteristics)?
4. What is the setting (facility type, location, and country) of the study?
5. What were the researcher’s results and findings? (Identify one that clearly measures the dependent variable or objective of the research.)
