A team of psychiatric nursing researchers have encountered difficulty while attempting to plan a research study addressing patients' and clients' spirituality
Which of the following factors would have the most influence on improving the research into spiritual and religious effects on health?
A) More rigorous study design
B) Increased research funding
C) Better control of confounding variables
D) Consistent definition of terms
Ans: D
Feedback:
The absence of specific definitions of religious and spiritual activity is an important problem because many of the studies define these activities differently. Better definitions of these terms would improve research substantially.
