If the patient is unable to write, an X ia accepted if there is a witness to his mark Secured without pressure and threat A witness is desirable nurse, physician or authorized persons.

Degree of the acts of execution:
Consummated- when all the elements necessary for its execution and accomplishment are present. Frustrated- when the offender performs all the acts or execution which will produce the felony as a consequence but which nevertheless, do not produce it by reason of causes independent of the will of the perpetrator.

Non Experimental, the researcher collects data without introducing any treatment or making any changes. Quasi Experimental, is like experimental research because it actively introduces some form of treatment or manipulation of an independent variable. Quantitative Research, a formal, objective, systematic process in which numerical data are used to obtain information about the world. Qualitative Research, systematic, interactive, subjective approach used to describe life experiences and give them meaning. Phenomenological Research, begin with accumulation of evidence when little topic is known or when studying new topic it involves gathering of fresh perspective. Grounded Theory Research, the primary purpose of grounded theory research is to develop a theory.

Ethnographic Research, a tool for studying cultures Narrative Research, Focus on story as the object of inquiry, to determine how individuals make sense of events in their lives.

LEADERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT A. Leadership Style Authoritarian leadership style or autocratic leader keeps strict, close control over followers by keeping close regulation of policy and procedures given to followers.

Laissez faire style is sometimes described as a "hands off" leadership style because the leader delegates the tasks to their followers while providing little or no direction to the followers Transformational Leadership Identify common values Is committed Inspires other with vision Has a long term vision Looks at effect Empowers other

B. Differences Between Conceptual and Theoretical Model


Conceptual Model or Paradigm It is a pre-theoretical basis from which substantive theories may be derived It is highly abstract Concept are related and multidimensional It provides a perspective for science It is derived from systematic observation and intuition. It is developed through the process of intuition It must be evaluated through logical grounds and cannot be empirically tested. Theoretical Model or Framework It proposes a framework derived from theories It is less abstract Concepts are narrowly bounded, specific and explicitly interrelated. It postulates relationship. It is descriptive, explanatory or predictive. It is constructed from available theories and findings of empirical research. It is develop through the process of induction and deduction. It permits empirical tests.

Transactional Leadership Focuses on management task Caretaker Uses trade-offs to meet goals Shared values not identified Examines causes Uses contingency reward

RESEARCH A. Types of Research


Basic / Pure Research, it is done for the intellectual pleasure of learning to search for knowledge for its own sake and eventually filter down the result into real life situation. Applied Research, seeks for practical application of theoretical or abstract knowledge. The truth is adapted to every situation. Action Research, the process involves the study of certain problem and from that experience, decisions, actions and conclusion are drawn. Correlational Research, involves the systematic investigation of relationship between or among variables. Experimental, an objective, systematic, highly controlled investigation for the purpose of predicting and controlling phenomena in nursing practice.

C. Variables Independent Variables (CAUSE), These are factors that are being manipulated by the researcher and the focus of the inquiry. Dependent Variable (EFFECT), This is the factor or variable that is affected or influenced by the independent variable. Intervening Variable (MEDIATOR), This is a factor or variable that exists between the independent and the dependent variable. Moderator Variable, This is a variable that affects the strength or direction of the relationship between the independent and the dependent variables.

Examples IV Independent Variables DV Dependent Variable
Self-Concept, Personal and Professional Characteristics of Staff Nurses (IV) in Relation to Patients Satisfaction Index (DV) Thermoregulation of Infants (DV ) utilizing Mineral Water Container and Droplight (IV)

D. Hypothesis Simple Hypotheses predicts the relationship between one independent variable and one dependent variable. Example: Performance in the College of Nursing is related to success in the nurses licensure exam. Complex Hypotheses predicts the relationship between two or more independent variables and two or more dependent variables. Example: Heredity, home environment and quality of instruction are related to intelligence, motivation and performance of school. Directional/Predictive Hypotheses specifies the direction of relationship between the variables being studied. Example: People who smoke are more prone to lung cancer than those who do not smoke. Non Directional Hypotheses predicts only that there is a relationship between the variables being studied but does not specify what it is. Example: There is a difference in the level of anxiety of pre-operative patients who receive preoperative instruction than those who do not receive such instruction. Statistical / Null Hypotheses is an assumption that there is no difference between the studied variables. Example: There will be no correlation between liberalization attitudes and completion of a course in human sexuality. Research Hypotheses this is also referred to as substantive or declarative hypotheses or statement of expected relationship between variables. Example: There is a significant relationship between maternal heroin addiction and birth weight of infants.

Convenience or Accidental Sampling data is collected from anyone most conveniently available. Snowball or Network Sampling involves subjects suggesting or referring other subjects who meet the researchers criteria. Judgmental or Purposive Sampling researcher selects and studies a specific number of a special group that represent the target population with regards to certain characteristics such as age, sex or economic status. Cross-cultural Sampling conducted in a variety of cultural settings. Longitudinal Sampling given group of subjects are studied for an extended period of time Cross-sectional Sampling subjects are observed at only one point in time. Quota Sampling identifies the strata of the population and determines the proportion of elements.

E. Sampling Technique Simple Random Sampling the selection of sample is done by chance. e.g Lottery draw Stratified Random Sampling population is subdivided into areas, section then random sample as are taken from each.
