An obstetrical nurse wishes to identify whether clients' perceptions of a high level of support from their partner is associated with a decreased length of the second stage of labor
Which type of quantitative research is most appropriate for this research question?
A) Correlational research
B) Descriptive research
C) Quasi-experimental research
D) Experimental research
Ans: A
Correlational quantitative research is used to examine relationships between two or more variables. In this case, the variables are perceptions of partner support and length of Stage 2 labor. There is no manipulation of the variables as there would be in an experimental or quasi-experimental study. The focus on the relationship between the two variables goes beyond simple description of events.
