PHASE 3,4 & 5 OF

QUANTITATIVE
RESEARH

GROUP 4
PHASE 3: EMPIRICAL PHASE
• The "empirical phase" typically refers to the stage in
scientific research where data is gathered through
observation or experimentation. This phase involves
systematically collecting, measuring, and analyzing data
to draw conclusions or verify hypotheses. It contrasts
with the theoretical phase, where hypotheses and
frameworks are developed based on existing knowledge
or theories
PHASE 3: EMPIRICAL PHASE
• The empirical portion of quantitative study involves
collecting research data and preparing those data for
analysis. It is also often the most time-consuming part
of the investigation.
• STEP 13: COLLECTING DATA
- Data collection in a quantitative study normally
proceeds according to a pre established plan.
• STEP 14: PREPARING FOR DATA ANALYSIS
- Preparing for data analysis during the empirical
phase involves organizing, cleaning, and
structuring the collected data to ensure it is ready
for accurate analysis
- The data collected in a quantitative study are rarely
amenable to direct analysis.
- One such step is coding, which is the process of
translating data into numeric form.
- Another preliminary steps involves transferring data
from written forms to computer files for analysis
PHASE 4: THE ANALYTIC PHASE

• The analytic phase in quantitative research is the


stage where collected data is systematically
examined to answer research questions, test
hypotheses, and draw conclusions.
• STEP 15: ANALYZING THE DATA
- Research data must be processed and analyzed in
an orderly fashion so that patterns and
relationships can be discerned and validated, and
hypotheses can be tested.
- Quantitative data are analyzed through statistical
analyses, which include some simple procedures
as well as complex and sophisticated methods.
• STEP 16: INTERPRETING THE RESULTS
- Interpretation - is the process of making sense of the
results and examining their implications within a
broader context
- In quantitative studies, researchers attempt to interpret
study results in light of prior evidence and theory and in
light of the adequacy of the methods used in the study.
- Interpretation also involves determining ho the findings
can best be used in clinical practice, or what further
research is needed before utilization can be
recommended.
PHASE 5. THE DISSEMINATION PHASE
- In the analytic phase, the researcher comes full circle: the
question post at the outset are answered. The researchers job is
not completed however, until the study results are disseminated
STEP 17: COMMUNICATING THE FINDINGS
- A study cannot contribute evidence to nursing practice if the
results are not communicated.
- Another-and –often-final-task-of a research project, therefore, is
the preparation of the research report that can be shared with
others.
• STEP 18: UTILIZING RESEARCH EVIDENCE IN
PRACTICE
- Many studies have a little effect on nursing practice.
- Ideally the concluding step of a highly-quality study is
to plan for its use in practice setting.
