- Identifiers of researchable problems pinpoint areas needing further investigation.
- Evaluators assess research findings to determine validity and reliability.
- Users apply research findings in practical settings for improved health outcomes.
- Patient or client advocates ensure patient perspectives are considered during studies.
- Subjects in studies provide firsthand information and responses relevant to research questions.
Characteristics of Research (COGIE)
- Controlled: Studies must eliminate specific constraints to enhance precision.
- Orderly and systematic: Research follows logical steps to ensure progression and clarity.
- Generalization: Findings should be applicable to larger populations beyond the study sample.
- Intensive: An in-depth approach is taken to cover all study aspects comprehensively.
- Empirical: Relies on objective reality as the foundation for knowledge acquisition.
Tasks of Nursing Research (IDEEPC)
- Identification: Recognizes situations requiring clarification within healthcare settings.
- Description: Analyzes relationships among variables within the study.
- Exploration: Investigates specific questions to uncover underlying issues.
- Explanation: Investigates reasons behind phenomena, seeking deeper understanding.
