Introduction
The intent of this paper is to examine conceptual linkages between concepts and the tenets of an approach to research. The article used in this paper is titled chronic kidney disease (CKD) stressors influence choices of dialysis modality (Harwood, Wilson, Sontrop and Clark, 2012). A prospective correlational design was used in thin study. The underpinning epistemological, ontological, ethical and ideological tenets of prospective correlation design is described based on this article. Lastly I will discuss my own preferences in choosing this approach to inquiry.
Overview of the selected study. Harwood et al. (2012) conducted a study to find the correlation between CKD stress levels and coping strategies on decision in choosing …show more content…
Dialysis modality selection especially home and self-care modalities are influenced by poor coping and increased stressors associated with CKD. The logical basis of the study is largely contingent to this hypothesis. Quality interventions for individuals with CKD, is influenced by promoting of factors related to dialysis modalities. The possible result is deducted stressful perception, and encourage adaptive coping behaviours and home dialysis selection. The authors supported the hypothesis from existing scientific …show more content…
Overview of prospective correlational research.
Research is important to the nursing profession. It is designed to provide new knowledge, improve health care, and challenge current nursing practice with new ideas. “The research design is the architectural backbone of the study” (Polit and Beck, 2008, p.66). The research design integrate the different components of the study in a coherent and logical way. Correlational research design is a nonexperimental design, where researcher examines the relationship between two or more variables in a natural setting without manipulation or control. Correlational designs involve the systematic investigation of the nature of relationships, or associations between and among variables, rather than direct cause-effect relationships. Correlations analyze direction, degree, magnitude, and strength of the relationships or associations. These designs are used to examine if changes in one or more variable are related to changes in another variable(s). The study variables are classified as independent (predictor) and dependent (outcome), the independent variable may influence the dependant variable. The results from correlational studies provide the means for generating hypotheses to be tested in quasi-experimental and experimental
