Writer needs to be skilled in Sample,project design and methodology
Project Design
In
this portion explain the appropriateness of the design to solve the problem and
answer the practice-based question. Provide a clear and well-justified sequence
of the project events to achieve the desired outcomes and explain the methods
used. Quantitative studies have primary variables; however, in exploratory or
comparative studies these primary variables are delineated as independent
(predictors), dependent (outcomes), or extraneous (moderators, mediators). In the interest of time for the DNP program,
students are encouraged to use quantitative approaches. The project must focus on interventional
methods.
Sample and
Setting
This portion elaborates on the information provided
in the Nature of the Project from Section I by providing sufficient details
about the sample and setting. In this
area, explain the methods that will be
used to select your sample population
from an accessible population that
represents your target population. Describe
in detail the inclusion and exclusion criteria for selecting the sample.
Exclusion criteria is specified before recruitment (e.g. only females over the
age of 65). Inclusion criteria is applied after recruitment and before
enrollment (e.g. patients with a diagnosis of osteoarthritis).
In a quantitative study, sample size estimations
should be based on the purpose of the project – to generalize the results or
infer the results. Generalizability will require a much larger sample size and
random selection. Calculate sample size estimation for generalizations using
the size of the target population, confidence levels and confidence intervals
at http://www.surveysystem.com/sscalc.htm. Inferences
will generally require a smaller sample size; however, an adequate number of participants
must be used that will give the power to detect a relationship, difference, or
effect when one really exists. An a
priori power analysis will estimate sample size using the desired effect
size, alpha level and minimum power level. Typically, researchers strive for a power
of .80, which refers to an 80% certainty that an existing relationship,
difference, or effect will be found in the sample. Power can be determined
using a program from G*Power. G*Power Download
Provide a detailed description of the setting where
the study will take place. If the study setting is a facility or organization,
written permission must be obtained and attached as an appendix. Describe the
adequacy of the location including the support, services, costs and other
resources needed. Provide sufficient detail regarding the setting for
replication of the study or generalizations/inferences to target populations in
similar settings. Do not use the actual name of the facility where the project
is being conducted; however, the region where the facility is located may be
mentioned.
Instrumentation
This
portion of the paper explains the instrument used to measure the outcome of
interest and to answer the practice-based question. An established
instrument/tool must be used to collect the data. Students cannot create/design
an instrument/tool of their own. Describe the instrument including the
rationale and appropriateness to measure elements of the project that either
influence the outcome or measure the outcome. Include specific information on
the validity and reliability of the instrument and the process the developer
used to ensure that the instrument measures what it is intended to measure,
each time it is used. Include the statistical results from the psychometric
testing of the instrument if it is a questionnaire or survey. Students may not create or modify any
instrument to collect data for the project. Instead, the practice-based
question can be adapted to ensure the instrument is appropriate for the topic
of interest. If the instrument is
equipment, include the sensitivity and specificity of the instrument testing. For
any type of instrument selected to measure the outcome, clearly describe the
properties that ensure the outcome is being measured using a valid and reliable
tool.
If the instrument is a
questionnaire or survey, describe the items on the instrument and discuss how
they represent the attributes of the outcome of interest. When explaining the
presence of selected crucial items in the instruments, discuss reasons for the
particular conceptual structure of those items, and why this particular
structure was chosen over other alternatives. Include the instruments
used in the DNP Project in the Appendix.
