Enhancing Methodological Rigor in Intervention Research | |||
| Learning Objective #1: Identify several critical methodological issues in intervention research | |||
| Learning Objective #2: Discuss strategies to overcome inherent challenges of intervention research | |||
| This symposium presents a series of papers on the most challenging methodological areas of intervention research today, including relevant examples from several ongoing nursing intervention studies. This topic is consistent with the theme of the conference as the conduct of rigorous intervention research provides the basis for evidence-based practice and building community through research. We will discuss various ways to standardize intervention protocols and maintain treatment integrity through the intervention processes. We will also describe the basics and challenges of economic analyses in intervention research. Use of qualitative research methods will be introduced as a tool for enhancing conclusion validity of interventions. In addition, the art and science of multidisciplinary research will be discussed. Practical recommendations will be given throughout the symposium to enhance methodological rigor in intervention research. | |||
