¶ … PubMed search terms used to initially identify a qualitative study were the following: nursing qualitative. A large number of citations were retrieved, but the selection was further limited by only those available as free full-text articles through PubMed Central. This provided some idea of what is available and after skimming down the citations the topic of tuberculosis treatment compliance was chosen. The search terms used next were the following: tuberculosis treatment compliance. A large number of studies were found and after skimming down the first page of the retrieval results a qualitative and epidemiological (quantitative) study were identified, both of which focused on patient compliance in third world regions of the world, Burundi and India. The study conducted by Zaman and colleagues (2014) was an epidemiological study examining the percentage of residents in Assam, India testing positive for tuberculosis who sought treatment early or late following diagnosis, in addition to the percentage of these two groups who complied with the treatment plan. The results indicated that residents seeking treatment within 6 weeks of diagnosis had a 92% cure rate, while only 40% of those seeking treatment 6 weeks after diagnosis were cured. The reason this is a quantitative study is because it tests whether early...
The use of statistics to quantify variables is a defining feature of quantitative studies and statistics were used in this study (e.g., Chi square test). The authors of this study also concluded that motivating patients to seek early treatment will lower the prevalence rate of Assam residents testing positive for tuberculosis, which is a deduction. The deductive process is another defining feature of quantitative studies, as is using objective measures like smear-positive TB tests to quantify the percentage of treated patients who were cured or failed to comply with treatment recommendations.
Development of a Nursing Peer Review Process at Cypress Fairbanks Medical CenterTask 1: Project ProposalClinical/Organizational ProblemThe need for establishing a nursing peer review (NPR) process has been identified by researchers in the healthcare industry (Bergum, Canaan, Delemos et al., 2017).

Chi-Square Statistical Testing in Medical Research The research undertaken by Bryant et al. (1999) was designed to assess if and how post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), may be prevented through the use of early intervention cognitive therapy. The research was undertaken with a sample of forty-five civilians who had survived the trauma within the preceding fourteen days and would generally be expected to develop PTSD, as assessed through the acute stress
Said factors certainly do nothing to discredit the relevance of this tool's use in qualitative research, but they do suggest that such research methodology may well be complimented by the implementation of additional data-gathering methods that is driven by quantitative measure. Namely, it should be seen as a primary benefit of the questionnaire that its ergonometry of inquiries should serve in a degree as a means to internal variable control.
Evidence-Based Project Proposal Graduate Project in Nursing The incidence of sexually transmitted diseases has been increasing among adolescents in countries around the world, but there remains a dearth of timely and relevant studies concerning salient differences in knowledge level and attitudes between different cultures and ethnic populations. One common factor that has been consistently demonstrated in improving the effectiveness of treatments for sexually transmitted diseases is promoting adherence to treatment regimens, most
