Identify the best course of action by the researcher who finds no statistical significance during the analysis of data
1. The researcher should table the study due to a lack of viability.
2. The researcher should reevaluate the study for revision prior to publication.
3. The researcher must be certain the study identifies a need for change in order to be of value to the nursing community.
4. The researcher should report the findings as not significant for recommending change in practice or education.
4
Rationale 1: Tabling the study will not serve to notify potential readers of findings.
Rationale 2: The researcher should report on the study as completed. Reevaluation midway through the study is not appropriate.
Rationale 3: If this study did not have merit, it should not have been done in the first place. Half way through the study is not the time to make that decision.
Rationale 4: Each research study will not have ample findings of statistical significance to recommend change. The absence of such findings should be reported in the study.
