Feedback:
Nursing intervention research is a term sometimes used to refer to a distinctive process of planning, developing, testing, and disseminating interventions. The construct validity of an emerging intervention is enhanced through efforts to develop an intervention theory that articulates what must be done to achieve desired outcomes. Secondary analysis refers to studies in which researchers analyze previously collected data—either quantitative or qualitative. In methodologic research, the investigator is concerned with the development, validation, and assessment of methodologic tools or strategies. The care system (e.g., patient characteristics) affects outcomes in complex ways. Donabedian emphasized three factors in appraising quality in health care services: structure, process, and outcomes.
