Jul 14, 2018 · For example, current tools for evaluating the quality of clinical research (such as GRADE) do not scrutinise assumptions about mechanisms that have been used to design clinical studies. Just as EBM improved clinical practice by scrutinising clinical studies, scrutinising evidence of mechanisms can lead to further improvements.

Understanding generative mechanisms has the potential to be very meaningful when we design and evaluate new programs and services that are then transposed to another context, as it enables us to understand how and why desired change might be generated instead of just believing that it will or should happen (e.g., the effectiveness of programs or interventions).

As such, uncertainties will change as evidence accumulates, so should be reviewed and updated at each phase of the research process. We often prioritise research that has a greater probability of finding a certain answer, even though the question may be of less importance.
Abstract. This three part series of articles provides a brief overview of relevant research designs in nursing. The first article in the series presents the most frequently used quantitative research designs. Strategies for non-experimental and experimental research designs used to generate and refine nursing knowledge are described.
