“…2 What professional, situational and patient characteristics predict nurses' referrals of acutely ill patients? This study used a factorial survey design, a design used to answer research questions associated with clinical judgements and decisions (Ludwick et al 2004) and include such diverse topics as medication errors (Mazor et al 2005), traumatic brain injury (McNett et al 2009), substance abuse (Wallander & Bloomqvist 2009), child abuse (O'Toole et al 1997), self-neglect (Lauder et al 2006) and acute confusion (Ludwick 1999). Factorial survey designs combine the experimental use of paper-based vignettes with sample survey procedures.…”

“…Analysis of variance (ANOVA ANOVA) was then used to evaluate the main effects and the first-order interaction effects on each outcome variable. Regression analysis is indeed used in the majority of factorial survey analyses (Wallander 2009) and was recommended by Rossi and Nock (1982), Ludwick et al (2004), Ludwick and Zeller (2001), Lyons (2008) and De Ridder and Kerssen (2003).…”

This study has several implications for practice. The emergence of an early warning scoring system as a significant individual predictor supports the use of such systems. However, the small amount of explained variance suggests that there are other influences on nurses' assessment of patient acuity and referral decisions that were not measured by the factorial survey approach. Educational provision might focus not just on knowledge acquisition but include educational delivery methods that incorporate or mimic real-ward settings.

“…Other studies within the field of social work have shown that substance users' age affects professionals' perceptions of substance use severity (Samuelsson and Wallander 2014) and treatment recommendations (Wallander and Blomqvist 2009). These studies, however, did not explicitly use the term ageism, but nonetheless serve as examples of applying normative considerations and attempting to raise awareness of age-related perceptions in social work practice.…”

Normative, Empiricist, and Interpretive Considerations in the Ageism Research Process

This chapter reflects on the normative, empiricist, and interpretive considerations researchers are facing in the process of researching ageism. The starting point of this study was a doctoral dissertation that, by triangulating data, methods, and theory, explored how ageism is manifested in the lives of older people (Snellman 2009). Such a research endeavour is warranted by system justification theory, arguing that support for an ageist structure of society is sometimes strongest among individuals who are most harmed by it (Jost et al. 2004). A large and increasing number of ageism studies report on empirical data; however, these studies are rarely explicitly related to epistemological and ontological questions. Little attention has previously been devoted to the philosophy of science aspects of ageism and therefore there is a gap in what we know about the wider scope of challenges in researching ageism and how we view and understand ageism in our world.One way to devote attention to the philosophy of science aspects of ageism is to focus on the normative, empiricist, and interpretive (Howarth 2000) considerations and choices we as researchers are forced to make during the research process. In short, these considerations enable researchers to (a) take a standpoint against and strive to change negative ageist consequences in society (normative); (b) observe accurately and show how ageist elements are related in a narrow context (empiricist); and (c) observe, show, understand, and reflect critically on how ageist elements are related in a wider context (interpretive).Among the myriad of choices to be made is the choice of what definition of ageism to use in any given case. This chapter demonstrates different types of ageism definitions. These are influenced by normative, empiricist, and interpretive

“…Ludwick et al, 2004;Taylor, 2006;Wallander, 2012). Existing empirical studies include analyses of judgments made, for example, by court judges (Hagan, Ferrales, & Jasso, 2008), teachers (Webster et al, 2005), nurses (Rattray et al, 2011), physicians (Mion et al, 2010), police officers (Son, Davis, & Rome, 1998) and social workers (Wallander & Blomqvist, 2008;Samuelsson & Wallander, 2013). Although most factorial surveys conducted in the field of professional judgments make use of the concept of "professional judgment", they are not based on a common understanding of which particular elements of such judgments can be studied using this approach.…”

With the aim of furthering the investigation of professional discretion, this article builds on a combination of a conceptual framework for understanding discretion and an advanced method for collecting data on human judgments. Discretion is described as consisting of two dimensions-a structural dimension (discretionary space) and an epistemic dimension (discretionary reasoning). Discretionary reasoning is defined as the cognitive activity that may take place within the discretionary space of professional judgment, and it is illustrated by means of Toulmin's model of argumentation. The factorial survey, a quasi-experimental vignette approach, is proposed and illustrated as a method with substantial potential for studying agreement and disagreement in discretionary reasoning. While the combined framework presented in this article could form the basis for case studies and/or comparative studies of discretionary reasoning across professions and contexts, the results of such studies could be used for improving practice within a specific professional field.
