MSRT 6150 - Research Methods in Res Care

Institution:

Weber State University

Subject:

Description:

Research involves a process of "sense-making" of interrelated activities rather than a simple description or basic understanding of unrelated events. Appreciating the sequence of events and the diverse methods of inquiry can lead a researcher in multiple directions. It is important to ground your initial question in methods that enhance understanding. Researchers must develop a "toolkit" with methods that address a central question and provide a means to thoroughly evaluate a stated outcome. Methods can assist healthcare researchers to identify problems to be studied with ideas that answer the questions or central problem in the inquiry process. In this way, practitioners need to know quantitative, qualitative, and mixed approaches of inquiry to develop an in-depth understanding of multiple research designs and procedures used in research today. Through this course, students will gain an understanding of research used in the field of Respiratory Care and apply and evaluate methods of inquiry in the discovery of new medical knowledge.
