Research Papers /
Research Proposal and Using Instrument not been Validated or Tested Reliable. [7]
Hey guys I am writing a grad. research proposal as an assignment (a quantitative research). If the instrument I am proposing to use has not been validated or tested for its reliability, then what should I do with the tool if I really want to use it? Do I need to pilot test the tool (theoretically)?
Thanks!

Susan, your advice is very helpful and has provided direction on how I should proceed with my r. proposal :) Well I am writing a nursing proposal on RN/RPN mixing and their relationship on severity of pressure ulcer. The tool I would like to use is The Pressure Ulcer Staging Tool by NPUAP.
Anyway, I will look more into pilot testing the tool :)
Thanks again!!

EF_KevinKevin, you are correct about the purpose of my study and I'd like to find out if a relationship exists between the variables...
The tool has been out since 2007 but I am surprised that no studies to date have tested its validity and reliability...Well it is also very popular tool among the health care field...

how can teacher help educate parents in poverty [4]
I would do a search from Google Scholar and other peer-reviewed journal search engines (e.g., Scholar's Portal)...You can use a combination of key words such as poverty and education, and parents.
