Substruction: improving the linkage from theory to method.

Substruction is a strategy to critique the theory and methodology of research. It is a process whereby a researcher identifies the major variables in a study, analyzes the levels of abstraction among the variables, identifies hypothesized relationships between variables, and connects the theoretical basis of the study to the methodology. A model of substruction is presented which incorporates terminology to facilitate a fuller explication of the linkages between the theoretical and operational systems. An example of substruction from the published literature is presented.

Chest physiotherapy in neonates: a review.

Chest physiotherapy (CPT) is performed on neonates with actual or potential pulmonary problems. The focus of this review is on research related to the effectiveness of or the physiologic alterations related to CPT. Findings from this review indicate that CPT in neonates: 1) did not significantly improve oxygenation or secretion removal in the first 24 hours of life in premature infants with respiratory distress syndrome, 2) increased oxygen consumption, and 3) prevented post-extubation atelectasis. Nursing considerations when performing this procedure, contra-indications, and documented side effects are included in this review.
