NUR 504 Week 8 Discussions 1

Post your group’s CLC EBP project. Critically read two CLC EBP projects (other than your own). Name one barrier for each that could impact the implementation of the guideline in practice and how you would work through this issue.

NUR 504 Week 8 Discussions 2

Discuss what is meant by mixed-methods designs. What are the limitations of these designs.

NUR 504 Week 8 Critique of Research Studies Part 3 Latest

Follow the instructions provided in Critique of Research Studies instructions.

When turning in the final submission, please put in the following order: Quantitative Article Critique, Qualitative Article Critique, References (should include the two articles, the text, and any other additional sources).

Prepare this assignment according to the APA guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.CLC Assignment: Evidence-Based Project (EBP)

mixed-methods designs

Introduction

Mixed-methods designs are a type of research design that uses multiple methods in order to gain different perspectives about the same topic. While mixed methods have been used for decades, it wasn’t until recently that researchers began to use this approach in their research studies. This new way of conducting research allows researchers to gain more information than they could otherwise by using only one method.

Mixed-methods designs are used by researchers to better understand their research topics.

Mixed-methods designs are used by researchers to better understand their research topics.

• For example, a researcher might conduct an ethnographic study of a group of people who use social media and then use quantitative data collection methods like surveys or focus groups to gather information about the same topic. This allows for an in-depth understanding of how people experience the issue at hand in different ways, which may lead them down different paths of action if they become aware of new information or strategies that can help solve problems with social media usage (e.g., using hashtags).

There are different types of mixed-methods design and there are differences in these terms as used in the literature.

There are different types of mixed-methods designs, and these terms have been used in the literature to describe them. The following is a brief overview of these methods:

• Nested design refers to an iterative process that begins with a single study and then proceeds down multiple levels (e.g., nested in time), resulting in an overall research program with multiple studies contributing to its development. This type of approach allows researchers to gain more information about their topic by taking advantage of the findings from previous studies. It also allows researchers the opportunity to explore new questions as they arise during their investigation process; this option allows for flexibility while keeping cost low since only one research project must be developed rather than several separate ones being carried out at once (this is also known as coaction).

• Sequential design involves using multiple studies sequentially over time or consecutively over space—for example, comparing some variables across two different populations while simultaneously exploring others related but distinct variables within one population at first then moving onto another area entirely later on when necessary (this kind of shift may occur through longitudinal designs). The goal here can be twofold: firstly it helps avoid artifacts created by temporal lag between observations/activities/events taking place within different locations/time periods; secondly it provides us with greater context for understanding our results by demonstrating how events impact each other throughout history–not just now!

Various types of mixed-methods design are nested, sequential, concurrent, and transformative.

There are four major types of mixed-methods design: nested, sequential, concurrent and transformative. In a nested design, one method is used to test a research hypothesis while the other method provides additional information about the topic. For example, researchers may wish to determine how students learn certain skills or engage in specific activities in order to improve their performance on standardized tests. They could use an experiment or observational study first; then they would collect data from these studies using interviews with participants and observations of classroom environments before analyzing those results using statistical methods such as ANOVA (analysis of variance).

In sequential designs, each stage follows directly from its predecessor; this kind is often called “concurrent” because it involves two steps at once—the first step being one where researchers gather information through observation while they wait for data collection later on down the line (which might take some time). The second stage involves analyzing those collected findings so that we can learn more about our subject matter—for example identifying patterns within them which allow us then make inferences about larger-scale trends within society as well as ourselves personally!

Each type of mixed-methods design serves a different purpose in research.

Each type of mixed-methods design serves a different purpose in research. The nested design is used to test the effects of an intervention. For example, if you want to know whether having a low-calorie diet will help with weight loss, then the nested design would be used because it allows researchers to compare two groups: one group that has been eating healthy foods for three weeks and one group that has been eating unhealthy foods for three weeks.

In sequential designs, researchers test out different interventions over time and see which ones work best (or not). For example, if we wanted to understand why people eat too much at restaurants after dinner parties then we could do this by doing one experiment where all participants ate dinner together at home with family members present but another experiment where only half did so—and then comparing those results!

Concurrent designs are similar except instead of testing two interventions simultaneously (as above), they’re done simultaneously within each participant’s life experience(s) so there aren’t any gaps between when one takes place & another begins/finishes.”

Mixed-methods designs provide researchers with a means of understanding their complex research topics.

Mixed-methods designs are used by researchers to better understand their research topics. They allow for a more comprehensive understanding of the topic and can complement each other when combined. Researchers may use one method in one study and another in another, depending on what it is that they want to find out about the topic.

Conclusion

In conclusion, there are many different types of mixed-methods designs and each one serves a unique purpose. Researchers should use these designs to gain insight into their research topics.
