This week, we will discuss the research design
and sample for your nursing clinical issue. The research design flows from the
research question and outlines the plan for the study that will answer the
research question. The design identifies the major components of the study. It
is important to remember that there is no one best design for a research study.
1. After
you review the designs, describe which research design you would expect to find
when searching for evidence relevant to your own research question from Week 2.
Why? Explain your answer.
2. The
most common sampling method is the convenience sample; therefore, many of the
studies that you find for evidence use this sampling method. What are the
implications for using a convenience sample on the way you interpret and use
the findings?
