Questions:
- What was the research question?
- How was the sample selected?
- What does this impact the generalizability of the results?
- How large was the sample? Do you think this sample was large enough? Why, or why not?
- Did the procedure section go into enough detail for someone else to replicate well? If so, why do you think so? If not, why not?
- What could you do as a researcher, if the procedure section did not contain enough detail for you to replicate the study?
- What statistics did the authors use to answer the question?
- Did the authors state explicitly whether the research question/hypothesis was rejected or not?
- Did they use a phrase like “the results confirmed our hypothesis” or something similar? If so, what did they say?
- Whichever manner the authors chose to state their results, what did the manner in which they chose to present the results say about the researchers?
Answers:
1.
For the case of this study the research question was what are the underwriting reasons of intimate partner violence during pregnancy?
2.
For this study, the target population were pregnant women attending prenatal care at government infirmaries (Gashaw, Schei, & Magnus, 2018). A consecutive probability sampling methodology was used to select the study subject.
3.
A good sample is that which is a representative of the whole population, therefore generalization of the research will produce accurate results.
4.
A total of seven hundred and twenty pregnant women were selected as study subject. Yes, the sample size was large enough because it was above 30% of the entire population which was 177,900 residences.
5.
Yes, the procedure section has enough details for any researcher to replicate the study without difficulties because the procedure section has clearly illustrated a research designed, equipment, variables and materials used in the study.
6.
As a research if the research does not have enough details for me to replicate the study I will develop my own procedure and use past completed research to make generalization.
7.
For this research pregnant women that were interviewed lifetime emotional or physical abuse intimate partner violence was reported by 81.0%, and physical by 35.6%. (Semahegn, & Mengistie, 2015)
8.
Yes, the authors stated that the research hypothesis is supported.
9.
Yes, the researchers indicated that the result showed that increased frequency of intimate partner violence is associated with a number of factors.
10.
For the case of this study the manner in which the researchers presented their results indicated that the researchers are outstanding in statistical and data analysis.
