Nursing Research 1: Help developing quantitative question

Published

Hi! I'm a nursing student and I'm currently taking Nursing Research 1and I have to come up with a quantitative question to do a series of projects througout the semester, but the more I read articles and search keywords the further away I get from narrowing ideas. HEEELP please, can anyone suggest what would be a good quantitative question to research!

a quantitative question is not the same as a descriptive one. "quantitative" means you need something that can be measured. what kind of "projects" are we talking about? this is a great link to help you (and other students) understand and perform quantitative research in a nursing setting.
