The research study that I decided to evaluate was a study done in order to answer the question “How do psychological and behavioral factors throughout ones life affect coronary heart disease. The study took place over a two-year period in which the study personnel surveyed 1022 different patients from 12 different outpatient clinics in the San Francisco area. Each of these patients was already admitted for having developed coronary heart disease. The main purpose of this study was to evaluate…

The Impact of Health related human research experiments have long been a debatable topic(dilemmas). The agony, mental and physical torture and suffering associated with those historical experiments greatly influenced the contemporary world's view of such experiments. The negative impacts of those trails on people of different age groups, educational backgrounds, and social classes made today's world view them only as tragedies. On the other hand, the progress achieved by those experiments over…

3.2 Sampling I found my research participants through snowball sampling. Snowball sampling is a well established practice of asking respondents to recommend other possible research participants. Which in my case, the respondents willingly helped to share my survey link. The big advantage of this method is that it increases the number of respondents because people become more positive towards a researcher and are more willing to cooperate when introduced to someone they know. With snowball…

Through attending a neuroscience program called Camp Neuro at the New York Medical College and taking AP psychology, I have been able to apply my knowledge in myriad classes. My understanding of the biopsychosocial approach to psychology helps me analyze texts in English and moral situations in ethics. The interdisciplinary seminar Modes of Being would serve as a way to continue this intellectual exploration that I am already pursuing in conjunction with my major in psychology. I find that…

Two years ago during my junior year I was sitting in a cramped classroom filled with rowdy students when my English teacher assigned us a six page research paper. I would consider this research paper to be one of the hardest papers I had to write within three weeks. For most students three weeks is enough time to write a research paper unless you are like me who procrastinates often. Since my teacher gave us three weeks this gave me a great deal of time which brought a lot of distractions. My…

The first op/ed written by Rosecrans Baldwin suggests having boredom can be a valuable experience. The second op/ed is written by David B. Agus who claims that keeping patients’ records electronically can improve future medical treatment. The last op/ed by Jeffrey H. Tony discusses about whether using antibiotics in agriculture industry would result in antibiotic resistance of humans. All three articles are from people who have significant authority in writing. Baldwin is a writer, and the other…

and the research behind it. They also provide their own experimental research to the project. The Conduct Problems Prevention Research Group (2010) goes more into dept about how the project works in different stages of development as far as elementary school and middle school is concerned. They also found in their research that the Fast Track Project could provide help to the adolescence in their adult lives. The Conduct Problems Prevention Research Group (2015) extended this to research adults…

Population (2.5 points): The population in this study is nursing professionals. Research study design (2.5 points): This study is a nonexperimental design. In a nonexperimental design, the independent variable is not manipulated, it explores relationships between variables, and there is no controlled group. Independent variable (2.5 points): The independent variable in this article is the palliative care knowledge test (PCKT). Dependent variable (2.5 points): The dependent variable is to…

Overview Research is important to the professional nurse’s practice; this fact is substantiated in numerous textbooks, websites, and articles. Nurses are challenged to provide the highest quality care for their patients on a daily basis; the processes and tools of evidence-based practice can help nurses respond to these challenges (Prevost, 2014, p. 20). Kearney-Nunnery (2012) posits that involvement in research in any form adds to our knowledge base, enhances our practice, promotes improved…
