Quantitative Research Critique Part I
Introduction
It is important to note, from the onset, that the health and wellbeing of women is often impacted upon negatively by intimate partner violence (IPV). In the past, various research studies have attempted to not only assess the impact of IPV on the health and wellbeing of women, but also the strategies that ought to be implemented in seeking to care for victims of IPV. In their study titled Nurses' Preparedness to Care for Women Exposed to Intimate Partner Violence: A Quantitative Study in Primary Health Care, Sundborg, Saleh-Stattin, Wändell, and Törnkvist attempt to evaluate how well nurses are prepared to not only highlight, but also advance the appropriate nursing care to IPV victims seeking primary health care.” In critiquing the article, this text will largely focus on the said article’s problem statement/purpose, literature review, theoretical framework, hypotheses/research question, and design.
Problem Statement/Purpose
Sundborg, Saleh-Stattin, Wändell, and Törnkvist state the purpose of this particular article as “to assess nurses' preparedness to identify and provide nursing care to women exposed to IPV who attend primary health care.” This being a descriptive research study, it may not be possible to establish cause and effect or correlate variables. In contrast to other kinds of research (i.e. experimental research), descriptive research seeks to assess or highlight specific features of the phenomenon or population being studied. In this case, the study sought to assess the preparedness of nurses to care for women victims of IPV. The purpose of this research does imply empirical testability. Testability is a tenet that ought to be central in the design of all studies. In this case, testability is promoted by the clear definition of the population under consideration and the specific distinguishing features of interest. It is important to note that the authors of this particular study specify the population in the problem statement as nurses working with IPV victims in private health care. It should be noted that the issue or concern that the authors of this study set to investigate is of great relevance to nursing. This is more so the case given that IPV has variously been identified as one of the public health concerns having the greatest impact on the health and wellbeing of women. In that regard, therefore, any undertaking that is keen on promoting the ability of nurses to further enhance their...

Wound Healing Quantitative Research Critique Vogt, Uhiyarik, & Schroeder (2007) conducted a study that compared Aquacel dressing vs. standard wound care for primary closed vascular surgical wounds. The results of the study found that there was no difference in length of stay in the hospital, complications, patient comfort, or healing time between the two wound care methods. The only difference was that the Aquacel dressing required fewer changes than conventional dressings, but

Hourly Nurse Rounds Critiquing Validity and Robustness of Research in Hourly Nurse Rounds There are different kinds of studies that are carried out in the nursing field to examine various issues in patient care. An understanding of these issues requires examining these studies to gain insights and inform practice. This paper evaluates two studies on the impact of hourly nurse rounds in lessening falls, pressure ulcers, and call light while increasing
Validity in Quantitative Research Designs Validity Quantitative Research Designs Validity research refers extent researchers confident effect identify research fact causal relationships. If low validity a study, means research design flawed results . Threats to internal validity in quasi-experimental designs Quasi-experimental studies have several issues that lead to lack of internal validity of the study. These occur as a result of the experimental conditions not being highly controlled or randomized. This leads to intervention
