of variance. For example compare two identical studies using the same sampling methods, and population. The larger of the two studies statistically will have less sampling error than the smaller one. This is because as the size of the sample approaches the overall population size, as well as the true characteristics of the population. In contrast to unavoidable errors present in random samples, researchers may induce errors of their own design. This error is called sampling bias, and it is an…
primary care doctor intervention, and family dynamics in the complex progression of hospice care. Researchers did acknowledge that improved communication could prevent readmission. The study should be replicated and expanded to reflect a larger sample size and patient/family perceptions of hospice care. The authors note the statistical insignificance of the study, but bring up potential measures for future research regarding the topic. Application to Nursing Practice The study is limited in…

The first study utilized a sample of 20 Vietnam combat veterans who were randomly assigned to one of three groups, one of which being EMDR (Albright & Thyer, 2009). While the therapist used in this study was EMDR trained, the extent of that training was not indicated. Only two sessions were provided, and repeated measures ANOVA yielded no significant effects for any of the psychological measures (Albright & Thyer, 2009). The second study utilized 25 Vietnam combat veterans who were randomly…
With the innovations of the 21st century and its continuous development, young adults have much more benefits than our grandparents or even parents have ever had in terms of easy information access, exchange of ideas and thoughts with a large public, and communication with those who are physically far away from us. Additionally, devices that permit transmission of instant messaging and texts became a large part of the youth’s interaction in everyday life (Luo & Tuney, 2015, p.671). Some of them…

According to Melnyk and Overholt (2015), sampling involves choices about study sites and people who will be able to provide data and perceptions about the study topic. There are different approaches to sampling that are based on a combination of criteria. When planning a research, nurses must make sure that the decisions that are being made are ethical. In my clinical practice, research is important. The most important aspect of the research that we have seen is informed consent. The…

Toddlers are very unique when it comes to their learning styles. To test some of my research on toddlers, I did a naturalistic observation…
have been studies on these types of factors contributing to anorexia, but there has not been many with whom have any empirical evidence. As with the GWAS the sample sizes have been too small, and so replication has not happened. So for now these two factors are not risk factors for anorexia, but future studies with larger sample sizes will hopefully be done to show replication (Culpert et al., 2015). All this to say that these potential factors should not be ruled out. As we have seen with twin…
