| Abstract | .uantitative research is evaluated for several reasons. You may be trying to decide if the findings are worihy of incorporation into your practice or you may ^ attempting to determine the current state of the reseaK:h in a particular area. In the evaluation process, you will objectively review the strengths and the weaknesses of a report. Ultimately, you will determine whether the strengths of the work are greater than its weaknesses, whether the results can be incorporated into practice, and where the fmdings direct the next study. Evaluating a quantitative research report may initially seem like a daunting task, even if you regularly read research. However, by using a systematic approach, you can become more comfortable and proficient in evaluating quantitative research. Numerous articles have been published on evaluating research reports (Beck, 1990; Pieper, 1993; Ryan-Wengar, 1992; Soeken, 1985; Summers, 1991). In addition, multimedia CD-ROMs have become available to assist with critiquing research for clinical practice use (Alderman, 199H; Beyea, 1998}. The purpose of this article is to provide the knowledge and tools needed to successfully evaluate quantitative research reports. |
