Clin Nurs Res.
2016 Oct.
Abstract
The one-group pretest-posttest pre-experimental design has been widely criticized, yet continues to be used in some clinical nursing research studies. This editorial explains what is wrong with the design, suggests reasons for its continued use, and gives some recommendations regarding what can be done about it.
Keywords: causality; experimental design; graduate education.
