What is descriptive research?
the exploration and description of phenomena in real-life situations. It
provides an accurate account of characteristics of particular
individuals, situations, or groups. Remember, this type of study does not
show cause and effect.

and examining the effect of the treatment using selected methods of
measurement.

purpose of predicting and controlling phenomena in nursing practice.
Causality between the independent and dependent variables is

independent variable), exposure of some of the subjects to the
treatment (experimental group) and no exposure of the remaining
subjects (control group), and random assignment of subjects to either
the control or the experimental group.
