00:00:05
hey everyone I wanted to give an example
00:00:07
of the assignment that is going to be in
00:00:10
module three um and so this is working
00:00:13
with a research design appraisal form
00:00:16
specific for descriptive research
00:00:18
studies um we saw in the online lecture
00:00:22
in this module that there are several
00:00:24
different types of descriptive studies
00:00:26
we can have survey research um we can
00:00:30
have normative research um and other
00:00:33
options um so I we have a form that
00:00:37
we're going to use and I thought what I
00:00:39
would do is share that form and go
00:00:41
through a sample um and hopefully this
00:00:44
helps you out um with your assignment
00:00:46
this week all right so I'm going to
00:00:48
share my screen so you guys can see so
00:00:51
you will have access to the same
00:00:52
research designed appraisal form and um
00:00:55
again you'll be doing it on a different
00:00:57
article for the assignment but we're
00:00:59
going to do is go through it with a
00:01:01
sample article um so what we're going to
00:01:04
do is um go to the portal so you're
00:01:08
going to log in through my.cuw.edu
00:01:11
and again we are going to go over to the
00:01:16
library and you know my favorite we're
00:01:18
going to use Library quick links um
00:01:20
we're going to go to databases a toz and
00:01:24
we're going to go to p and find our
00:01:26
PubMed
00:01:30
and what we're going to do is search for
00:01:33
the author's last name um we have a
00:01:37
publication year and then um Co we're
00:01:41
going to see what we can find oh and I
00:01:44
have a filter here from last time so I'm
00:01:46
going to open that up a little bit and
00:01:47
this is actually the article that we're
00:01:49
looking for um so the first task on the
00:01:54
assignment form is to get the APA
00:01:57
Citation and instead of having to type
00:01:59
every everything out and look up those
00:02:01
citation rules um which drives me crazy
00:02:05
um we have an amazing button here in
00:02:07
PubMed called site and if you click that
00:02:10
um you can always change the form so if
00:02:13
another instructor ever asks for a
00:02:15
different type of form some of the most
00:02:17
common ones are here but for this
00:02:19
assignment we're looking for APA and you
00:02:22
can just copy that citation and we're
00:02:25
going to go back again to our form it's
00:02:29
my lovely family and um we are going to
00:02:33
paste that in so here we have the APA
00:02:36
Citation and we don't have to worry
00:02:38
about any problems I guess there's a
00:02:40
small little problem there but it's an
00:02:42
easy fix um so we already have the first
00:02:46
um number done all right next we're
00:02:49
going to be looking for the purpose of
00:02:52
the study and so according to the
00:02:53
authors what was the purpose of the
00:02:55
study and we might be able to find that
00:02:58
both from um this abstract area here
00:03:02
looks like we do have some information
00:03:05
here about the objective um but to be
00:03:08
make sure that we have the full
00:03:10
objective and for other parts of the
00:03:12
assignment we're going to need to get
00:03:13
the full text of this so I'm going to
00:03:16
click on the first option here and see
00:03:18
what we can find and it looks like this
00:03:21
is directly through um the Journal of
00:03:24
the American
00:03:25
College of health and I'm pretty sure we
00:03:29
can get a PDF here I'm searching
00:03:33
around maybe you guys have found it
00:03:38
in let's see Maybe not maybe
00:03:43
we let's go back and take a peek at the
00:03:48
other fex
00:03:50
link sometimes they're not as
00:03:54
straightforward and so then this will
00:03:55
take us into the library system through
00:03:58
Primo
00:04:07
there we go all right I just need to
00:04:09
sign into the library system through the
00:04:18
portal and we are going to click on here
00:04:22
and see if we can find
00:04:26
this well that is not going well
00:04:35
interesting all right well this is a
00:04:37
great example so it looks like even
00:04:39
though we get full text links this would
00:04:42
not be accessible immediately but this
00:04:45
is an example of how we can request it
00:04:47
from another library and you could send
00:04:50
this request in again remember you're
00:04:52
never paying for an article um but I can
00:04:56
guarantee you that the one for your
00:04:57
assignment is going to be accessible I'm
00:04:59
going to try one more time going into
00:05:01
this full text link and see if I am
00:05:05
missing something
00:05:08
here aha full
00:05:12
article sure enough and it is not happy
00:05:15
with that so this is a great example of
00:05:18
where the inter Library loan would be
00:05:20
needed now I will tell you that I do
00:05:22
have a copy of this article so we're
00:05:24
just going to presume that you were able
00:05:26
to grab that article um or you got it
00:05:29
through inter
00:05:30
loan and here we have the article and
00:05:33
again we have information about the
00:05:36
authors and the citation publication
00:05:39
date um and here we have the main
00:05:42
abstracts so as mentioned when we were
00:05:45
out in PubMed the objective is here to
00:05:48
understand the bioc psychosocial
00:05:49
dimensions of University Health Sciences
00:05:52
students experiences during the covid
00:05:54
pandemic now the abstract is always
00:05:56
going to have a little bit of a shorter
00:05:58
objective though so I think it's really
00:06:00
important to find the full objective and
00:06:03
that is typically found in this first
00:06:05
introduction or background information
00:06:08
section and it's normally in one of the
00:06:10
last paragraphs before the methodology
00:06:13
starts out so let's keep um looking
00:06:16
through here have some great background
00:06:19
information on a variety of topics and
00:06:22
then sure enough here we have the
00:06:24
purpose of the study and it's in a lot
00:06:27
more detail right so we have to examine
00:06:29
Health Sciences students bioc
00:06:31
psychosocial functioning during covid
00:06:34
pandemic and then there's some distinct
00:06:37
separate aims here describing and
00:06:39
looking at associations among physical
00:06:42
activity patterns mental health
00:06:44
functioning and perceived covid-19
00:06:46
threat and also describing
00:06:48
characteristics of health science
00:06:50
students is who change their commitment
00:06:52
to the profession um during the covid-19
00:06:55
pandemic so we have a much more detailed
00:06:58
um purpose here I'm going to just do a
00:07:01
little export of this back into
00:07:07
word so that we can do some copying and
00:07:16
pasting all right and so if we head here
00:07:20
we can highlight this after this purpose
00:07:24
statement there is a hypothesis from the
00:07:27
authors um and some additional
00:07:30
information but what we're going to do
00:07:32
is we're going to copy that and we are
00:07:34
going to insert that into here all right
00:07:38
and number two is done all right so next
00:07:41
then we are looking for information
00:07:43
about the participants there are two
00:07:45
questions here the first one always
00:07:47
relates to more survey research and um
00:07:50
the second question for the participants
00:07:53
might be more about a study where
00:07:55
participants are completing um different
00:07:58
tasks or other things um so definitely
00:08:00
take a look at both questions and base
00:08:03
whichever one is more appropriate based
00:08:05
on the descriptive study that you have
00:08:08
we definitely have survey research
00:08:10
though um because if we go back to our
00:08:14
study um we go back to our assessment
00:08:18
I'm sorry our abstract here says
00:08:20
participants um completed a web-based
00:08:22
survey so we know that this is survey
00:08:24
research there were questions about
00:08:26
depression anxiety physical activity
00:08:29
Corona virus threat and career
00:08:31
commitment um so what I'm going to do is
00:08:34
I'm just going to go um back to our word
00:08:38
version so it's a little bit easier and
00:08:40
so again as a reminder we are looking
00:08:44
for um how the survey hold on one second
00:08:48
we're looking for how the authors
00:08:51
acquired the names of potential
00:08:53
participants for their survey
00:08:56
research so it looks like here we go all
00:09:00
information about the participants so
00:09:02
now we've entered the methodology
00:09:05
section and it says approximately 2,000
00:09:08
undergrad and grad students um excluding
00:09:12
incoming first year students studying at
00:09:14
a h in a health science discipline at
00:09:17
two private Midwestern universities were
00:09:20
sent a link and completed the question
00:09:23
there um I'm just going to actually
00:09:26
pull a bit of this information because I
00:09:29
think we can use this for a couple of
00:09:32
the next questions um so how did the
00:09:34
authors acquire the names of the
00:09:37
potential participants I'm just going to
00:09:40
dump this into here um and it looks like
00:09:44
um if you look back and actually take a
00:09:47
peek at the authors um the authors are
00:09:50
faculty at two private Midwestern
00:09:53
universities um they are Marquette
00:09:56
University and our own Concordia
00:09:58
University Wisconsin
00:10:01
um so these um students were most likely
00:10:04
on
00:10:06
um lists um
00:10:09
within accessible um via enrollment um
00:10:13
and that so from this information um
00:10:17
we're going to just put um faculty
00:10:20
obtained lists of current
00:10:24
undergraduate and graduate students at
00:10:27
to
00:10:29
private Midwestern
00:10:32
universities I guess a little bit more
00:10:34
detailed information would be that these
00:10:37
would be students um
00:10:41
studying a health
00:10:43
science
00:10:46
discipline now you guys get to see me
00:10:48
type have
00:10:50
fun oh dear all right great um so it
00:10:55
looks like we have some information
00:10:57
about that I am going to cut this out
00:11:00
because I think we might use some of
00:11:02
this information in the next um how do
00:11:04
the authors recruit the participants
00:11:06
that's not the more applicable question
00:11:08
um so we are just going to um leave that
00:11:11
one blank and focus on the first one how
00:11:13
many surveys were sent out and how many
00:11:16
did they get back all right well from
00:11:18
this information that I just cut um we
00:11:21
had 2,000 students okay so we have
00:11:27
2,000 undergraduate and grad graduate
00:11:29
students um those are the ones that
00:11:32
actually received the survey okay um I'm
00:11:38
going to delete this here and I think
00:11:40
we're going to need to go back and see
00:11:43
about the response rate how many were
00:11:44
sent out and now we're looking for how
00:11:47
many they got back so let's go back here
00:11:51
and from that um I think we might
00:11:53
actually um sometimes there's a
00:11:55
flowchart um does not look like we have
00:11:58
that we have information about the
00:12:00
questionnaires um and I think we're
00:12:04
going to actually pull into the results
00:12:06
here so population characteristics is
00:12:09
where we would look for this um so you
00:12:12
can see of the 297 students who
00:12:15
completed the questionnaire all right so
00:12:19
297 is how many these researchers had as
00:12:24
a response rate
00:12:29
all right so
00:12:31
297 out of
00:12:33
2000 you might be feeling like wow that
00:12:37
seems like a really low response rate
00:12:40
unfortunately four surveys though that's
00:12:44
a pretty average response rate um
00:12:46
sending out surveys um if you're looking
00:12:48
for hundreds of responses you're going
00:12:51
to need to send out many many um
00:12:54
requests and sometimes even reminder
00:12:57
requests all right so so again this
00:13:00
second question isn't really applicable
00:13:02
um we are going to skip that and we're
00:13:05
going to go on to the response rate all
00:13:07
right did the authors make an attempt to
00:13:09
increase the response rate and if so
00:13:11
what did they do um so we're going to
00:13:13
have to dig a little bit and see if
00:13:15
there's anything in their methodology
00:13:17
here I'm going to go back to this
00:13:20
participants right says they were sent a
00:13:23
link okay um does say upon completion of
00:13:28
the survey particip were given the
00:13:29
option to enter a gift card raffle um
00:13:33
but nowhere in here do we really have
00:13:35
any information about the amount of
00:13:37
emails that were sent um the spacing
00:13:41
between those emails reminder emails
00:13:43
things like that um just checking in
00:13:46
here looks like these are more of the
00:13:49
questions and like I said all of these
00:13:51
relate to the questionaires so
00:13:54
unfortunately for this study um I think
00:13:59
think we have to say the authors did not
00:14:01
report any attempts to increase the
00:14:06
response
00:14:08
rate with additional email reminders at
00:14:13
any specific
00:14:16
frequency now I do happen to know some
00:14:19
of these authors and I do know that that
00:14:21
happened um but that was not published
00:14:23
in the study um so that is um definitely
00:14:28
a ique that we could have all right um
00:14:31
within the response rate we do want to
00:14:33
make sure do both of these questions
00:14:36
apply um to the aspect that we're
00:14:38
looking at um so for this one it is
00:14:40
appropriate to answer the second
00:14:42
question so what were the inclusion and
00:14:45
exclusion
00:14:46
criteria um so again let's go back to
00:14:49
our study and we have a few of these
00:14:53
things that we used um before so I'm
00:14:55
going to copy this again um and we're
00:14:59
going to add in some information
00:15:08
here all
00:15:12
right okay so it looks like they had to
00:15:17
be one of our first criteria is an
00:15:21
undergraduate or graduate student right
00:15:24
because you don't have to be both um you
00:15:28
would not I would say no fall 2020
00:15:32
incoming first year
00:15:35
students um the
00:15:38
students must
00:15:42
study a health science
00:15:45
discipline
00:15:47
um the students must
00:15:51
attend one of two private Midwestern
00:15:57
universities um
00:16:00
and I think that might be it I though I
00:16:02
would also say I think we should talk um
00:16:05
and add in about the participants being
00:16:08
greater than or equal to 18 years of age
00:16:11
um so that would mean that they are all
00:16:13
adults um and that also makes us realize
00:16:18
that the consent was a adult consent
00:16:21
process again if they would have
00:16:23
included participants who were under the
00:16:24
age of 18 there would have had to been
00:16:28
uh child ascent and a parental consent
00:16:32
process all right so I think we have
00:16:35
everything that we need here
00:16:39
um all right the raffle really is in
00:16:44
appropriate and looks like they all did
00:16:46
do informed consent electronically so
00:16:49
here we have our inclusion and our
00:16:52
exclusion
00:16:54
criteria for the rest of number five all
00:16:58
right
00:16:59
and next the survey psychometrics what
00:17:02
efforts did the authors make to ensure
00:17:04
their survey tool was ready to send and
00:17:08
psychometrically sound so let's take a
00:17:11
peek
00:17:17
at one second here all right so we do
00:17:21
have some demographic information that
00:17:24
was gathered okay participants had the
00:17:27
options to skip so we're just going to
00:17:29
pull some of that information into our
00:17:32
Word document um so we
00:17:35
know that they completed demographic
00:17:39
information okay and then I know there
00:17:42
was a few other surveys so let's take a
00:17:44
peek at what those surveys
00:17:46
were we have the gotten Leisure Time
00:17:51
exercise questionnaire okay we have the
00:17:55
patient Health questionnaire 9 or the
00:17:58
phq9
00:17:59
we have the generalized anxiety disorder
00:18:03
7 and the perceived Corona virus threat
00:18:06
questionnaire and the revised career
00:18:09
commitment scale so all of these are
00:18:12
standardized questionnaires um so it's
00:18:14
not like the researchers were making up
00:18:16
a survey on their own certainly that is
00:18:18
an option in survey research it just
00:18:21
takes a few additional steps so it is
00:18:24
appropriate that these were all used now
00:18:28
we don't need all of this information um
00:18:30
but I'm just going to pull it so that we
00:18:32
can have a little bit of that um to
00:18:37
remember as we type in our response
00:18:41
here oh who wrong way sorry not driving
00:18:45
good today all right so we're going to
00:18:48
insert that all in there and again this
00:18:50
is going to be way more than what you
00:18:51
really need for that response um but
00:18:54
we're talking about um so I would say
00:18:57
you know this demograph graic
00:18:59
information that's pretty basic
00:19:01
information um so we could comment about
00:19:04
this is standard information to provide
00:19:09
Baseline um
00:19:11
descriptives about the
00:19:16
population and the other questionnaires
00:19:19
that they used so this
00:19:22
Goen
00:19:23
this right all of these are standardized
00:19:27
questionnaires
00:19:29
so we can take that
00:19:32
information
00:19:35
and kind of pull this out
00:19:38
here and I would say here the
00:19:42
researchers used
00:19:46
standardized
00:19:49
questionnaires that were
00:19:52
valid and
00:19:54
reliable for the current
00:19:59
participant population right so it's
00:20:03
really important that researchers make
00:20:05
sure that they're not just pulling
00:20:07
scales out um that really aren't
00:20:10
appropriate right we wouldn't want to
00:20:12
use a pediatric questionnaire if we're
00:20:15
studying adults or vice versa or we
00:20:18
wouldn't want to use a questionnaire for
00:20:20
patients with Parkinson's disease if
00:20:22
we're really studying patients with
00:20:25
obesity all right so um ready to send um
00:20:30
and psychometrically sound so that helps
00:20:32
us with that um I think we can skip this
00:20:37
because the research tools we talked
00:20:38
about above here that was all of our
00:20:41
questionnaires and then we're going to
00:20:42
pull in let's see what we got here we
00:20:45
have our data collection methods I'm
00:20:47
just going to move this onto the next
00:20:49
page so describe the specific methods of
00:20:51
data collection employed in this study
00:20:54
and then do you feel the author has
00:20:56
provided enough detail to promote trans
00:20:58
transparency and
00:21:00
replicability all right so let's take a
00:21:03
peek at what happened all here um we
00:21:07
know that they were sent this survey
00:21:09
link and they completed the
00:21:11
questionnaire at two different time
00:21:13
points okay so 297 students
00:21:19
completed and we know they were entered
00:21:23
for a gift raffle gift card raffle um
00:21:31
and we also have some very detailed
00:21:34
information about statistical analysis
00:21:38
um and there's information about
00:21:40
statistical analysis over here we have
00:21:42
some information that's qualitative in
00:21:44
nature and then we also have some other
00:21:48
information about um some quantitative
00:21:51
information so there's a lot of great
00:21:54
descriptives here that would help us use
00:21:57
these same survey instrument and also
00:21:59
complete the statistical analysis in the
00:22:01
same way um so this is actually a really
00:22:05
quite detailed statistical analysis
00:22:08
section um before we get to the results
00:22:11
so let's pull some of this information
00:22:13
in here all right so I'm going to
00:22:15
transfer so
00:22:17
297 participants completed the
00:22:20
questionnaire um including um
00:22:25
demographic and several
00:22:30
standardized
00:22:32
questionnaires um detailed
00:22:35
information was given about the
00:22:39
quantitative and qualitative statistical
00:22:46
analysis okay I can't spell today
00:22:51
statistical all right and then this is a
00:22:54
little bit for you guys to think about
00:22:56
So based on what we were given here
00:22:59
do you feel that we have enough detail
00:23:01
to promote transparency and
00:23:03
replicability do you feel like you
00:23:04
really know what they did and do feel
00:23:07
like if you were to recreate this at a
00:23:10
different University or maybe with a
00:23:14
just a new time point at the same
00:23:16
universities would you be able to
00:23:18
replicate it from there so I'm going to
00:23:20
leave that one a little open-ended um
00:23:22
and give you some evaluative thoughts on
00:23:25
of your own um to complete so what
00:23:29
you're going to do then is complete this
00:23:31
and then um once you have all of your
00:23:34
answers I highly recommend um dumping
00:23:36
them into the word document first and
00:23:38
then you can open up the um assignment
00:23:42
and it's going to be a short answer free
00:23:44
text where you can copy and paste these
00:23:46
in the questions are the exact same um
00:23:49
it just be that you'll enter them into
00:23:51
the learning management system um a
00:23:53
little bit for easier um grading um and
00:23:57
just having everything in one place
00:23:58
place instead of being on different
00:24:00
uploaded documents which can sometimes
00:24:02
be problematic so if you have questions
00:24:05
about this please feel free to reach out
00:24:07
remember you're going to be doing it on
00:24:09
the article that's indicated in the
00:24:11
assignment um so you're not doing it on
00:24:14
this this was just as an example I hope
00:24:17
your assignments go well and reach out
00:24:18
with any questions
