Abstract

The nursing process is well known by practicing nurses. The model for approaching the development of nursing research using this process has been presented. The clinical arena is rich in data and problems worthy of detailed research work. The models provide structure and methods that are familiar to practicing nurses so that they may begin to work with colleagues and other researchers in the clinical setting. A nurse who wants to use this model to begin research efforts needs interested colleagues in nursing, friends with patient ears, superiors who value this type of work, and affable determination.

Probability estimation when some observations are grouped.

This paper considers the use of additional questions for decreasing survey non-response rates and an approach for estimating a probability based on the results obtained. In a survey, the respondents are asked to answer an original question and follow-up questions, where the answers for the follow-up questions are grouped answers for the original question. For example, respondents are asked to provide an exact number of incidents, but in cases of 'Do not know' or 'Refuse' responses, they are subsequently asked to pick an answer from a less specific categorical scale. The new estimator obtains smaller variance asymptotically and does not depend on a distribution family. This method is applied to income questions in a survey regarding injury prevention and behaviours. Another application is survey data on intimate partner violence, where some amendments were applied for incorporating post-stratification weights and for using non-random grouping. For additional illustration, an example of parameter estimation on artificially generated data is presented.
