Module overview This module contributes to your learning by providing you with a broad knowledge of the key approaches and techniques used in healthcare and evaluation and an opportunity to build on existing understanding of research methods. Learning focuses on understanding of quantitative and qualitative research methods paradigms and how different methodological designs are chosen to answer different research questions. The module intends to promote students’ understanding of published articles and enhance skills for critiquing research articles. It also aims to promote the development of the underpinning knowledge required to undertake a research project in the future.

Module aims This module aims to:

Introduce principal research methods and their use in the healthcare setting

Provide a foundation for subsequent research modules

Enhance skills for critiquing published research

Provide an understanding of techniques applicable to future research work Provide an understanding of how knowledge for healthcare is advanced through research.

Learning outcomes

Display an in-depth and comprehensive understanding of quantitative, qualitative and mixed methods paradigms

Critically evaluate key features of quantitative and qualitative designs

Expertly appraise research questions and their suitability for different designs

Display an advanced understanding of the application of these methods in healthcare research and practice.

Teaching arrangements A blended learning approach is used for this module. On college attendance days, module content is mainly delivered in seminars, to complement online lecture content, and workshops involving a variety of student-focused activities in groups.

The statistics workshop uses a student-led approach to examine published papers and explore the use of various statistical concepts. The same papers will be used to aid understanding of research designs, sample selection and data collection methods in quantitative work to aid continuity.

Similarly, information on qualitative methods will be reinforced by the examination of published papers to study how they have been applied in context.

Core reading and preparatory work is identified for each topic. For college attendance days, it is expected that students will complete this before each session in order to maximize their understanding of session content and participation in group activities. This was highlighted in previous student evaluations as essential.

Other module content is delivered via the College e-Learning service (KEATS) including keynote lecture materials, some directed activities, interactive discussion boards and quizzes to enhance learning. It is essential that the module site is accessed regularly as module notices will be posted here. The e-Learning Service can be accessed via ‘MyPage’. Please check that you can access the module website before the start of the module and contact the computer helpdesk in the library if you experience problems.

Small group tutorials provide face-to-face support to students on a variety of module issues. Assignment support is also provided through individual feedback on formative work.

Allocation of students to groups:

Students from different pathways, programmes and backgrounds attend this module. The module team believes that networking across such groups is important in developing a research culture and networking skills within individual learners to enhance future research practice. For this reason, students on different programmes or pathways are deliberately mixed within groups for seminars, workshops and other activities which students have positively evaluated in the past. Similarly, the papers used to exemplify research practice on the module do not pertain to any particular healthcare or nursing specialty. As the focus of the module is understanding how different research methods have been applied in answering research questions, the module team believes that approaches to research can be studied using research examples from any field.

Submitting coursework/exam information

Assessment criteria For this module you are assessed by 2,000 word essay.

Formative assessment Find two research papers with contrasting research designs from an area of clinical interest to use in the summative assessment. From each paper, extract the relevant details about study design and methods to complete the Formative form that can be found on the KEATS module site. This work should be completed by: 1st December 2017. The completed form should be sent to your designated lecturer via email. Their name can be found in the Group lists file on the KEATs module site. The lecturer will provide feedback on the form using track changes.

DO NOT include this form in your summative assignment.

Summative assessment A critical comparison of two research approaches, used to investigate a similar clinical topic.

Assignment guidelines Choose two research papers reporting studies that have used contrasting research designs from an area of clinical interest. One study should demonstrate a quantitative design and one should demonstrate a qualitative design.

Introduction — briefly introduce the clinical context or issue and the selected papers for comparison.

A digital link (e.g. doi number or hyperlink) to each of the research papers used must be given here or in the reference list. Each paper should be referenced by the first author’s surname and date e.g. Smith’s (2015) paper, rather than as ‘Paper 1’ or ‘Paper A’. An abstract is not required.

Main body — should include a critical comparison of the two studies in relation to:

Research question; design and underlying philosophy; hypothesis or aims explored

And two of the following:

Approaches to sampling

Data collection methods Analysis of data

Page 6: Measurement and Evaluation for Healthcare Practice ...€¦ · Measurement and Evaluation for Healthcare Practice 7KNIM700 - Term 1 2017/18 Level: 7 Credits: 15 Module leader: Dr

6

Demonstrate an understanding of the alignment between research question, design, methods used, data analysis or the process of the research in answering the question rather than the findings of the studies. A discussion on how the quality of the research can be assessed from the paradigm underpinning the methodology and a commentary on potential biases in the research process should be given throughout the work.

Where appropriate, you are expected to be able to explain the use of statistical concepts that you have been taught on the module e.g. mean, mode, median, standard deviations, confidence intervals, p-values, Chi-square, Mann-Whitney, correlations etc., within the context of the study being discussed.

Conclusion — Draw conclusions about the contribution of the research process and approach used to the enhancement of care rather than how specific findings can be used in practice.

Coursework submission/exam instructions Coursework and exam information are provided on the KEATS module page.

It is essential that you use your candidate number on all assignments/examinations. Your candidate number, which will begin with Y for the academic year 2017/18, will be available via Student Records on the King’s Intranet approximately one month after you enrol.

If you are unable to submit your work by the deadline please refer to the information in your programme handbook on “mitigating circumstances”. Further support is available from the Student Services Centre in the Faculty: https://internal.kcl.ac.uk/nursing/Students/Education/Assessments.aspx

Module Evaluation As part of the university’s Student Voice Strategy, King’s uses an electronic module evaluation system known as EvaSys. This provides an opportunity for you to feedback on different aspects of the module through a series of pre-set questions and qualitative comments. At the end of the module you will receive an automated invitation via your KCL email account to complete your evaluation online.

Please take the time to complete as your feedback is important. It informs ongoing developments to individual modules to ensure that the learning needs and expectations of the Faculty’s student community are met to a high standard.

To strengthen the feedback cycle, a report summarizing the quantitative results for the module as a whole and the module lead’s reflections on your feedback will be sent to you after the online evaluation survey has closed.

Action from previous evaluations 1. More face-to-face sessions.

ACTION: A ‘flipped classroom’ approach has been adopted for learning and teaching on this module to increase the amount of seminar sessions and group learning

2. Use specific examples of research conducted in the students’ specialist fields of practice. ACTION: The module team philosophy to encourage mixed groups and understanding research exemplars from any field of practice has been added to the handbook within the section on teaching arrangements. Examples from different fields of practice will be used across the classes.

3. Would like a checklist of documents needed for each taught day. ACTION: Checklists for each taught day are available on KEATS to download if required.

4. Lack of time in the lectures to have questions answered. ACTION: Lectures will be delivered in an online format allowing more time for the discussion of learning in the associated seminars in university days.
