Study Notes
Evidence-Based Practice Considerations
- Care planning should prioritize reassessment of clients' needs and individualized care plans.
- Standards of care are established by hospital nursing services and must be adhered to.
- Standardized care plans may not be suitable for all clients due to individual variations.
- Care should be informed by clinical expertise and the latest research findings.
Research Characteristics
- Research should be empirical, relying on controlled conditions to improve the reliability of results.
- Controlled research maintains consistency by holding constant other influences, clarifying the relationships between variables.
- Each step of an investigation must be methodically planned to ensure validity.
Roles of Nurses in Research
- Nurses can be principal investigators, team members, or educators of research findings.
- Participating as subjects in studies is not a role typically assigned to nurses in research contexts.
Starting the Research Process
- Identifying the focus of a research study is a critical initial step.
- Observational methods of family interactions can provide insight but are secondary to identifying study aims.
Types of References
- Non-empirical references include anecdotal recordings, abstracts, opinion articles, and commentaries, which lack rigorous evidence.
Factors Influencing Research Problems
- Considerations such as manpower, time frame, and finances are essential, known as feasibility.
Nurse's Advocate Role
- Nurses act as patient advocates by ensuring any adverse changes during research are communicated to physicians immediately.
Basis for Knowledge in Research
- Knowledge basis for research should be rooted in empirical evidence collected from observations rather than merely hypothetical reasoning.
Research Roles
- A principal investigator spearheads and leads research initiatives, while nurses may also act as evaluators of research findings.
Purpose of Research
- Research aims to answer questions, solve problems, and enhance evidence-based practice.
Characteristics of Good Research Topics
- Utilization of social media and personal experience as research topics may not be effective or appropriate.
Research Design
- Qualitative research design focuses on understanding experiences and perspectives, as seen in ethnographic studies.
Target Population and Variables in Research
- Identifying the target population, independent variables, and dependent variables is crucial for research clarity.
Proper Citation in Literature
- Accurately crediting sources in literature reviews is essential for maintaining academic integrity.
Research Questions
- Formulating clear and precise research questions is vital, such as examining the effects of specific interventions on target populations.
Dependent and Independent Variables
- The dependent variable represents outcomes based on changes in the independent variable, which is the variable manipulated.
Understanding Hypotheses
- Hypotheses articulate relationships among variables and require operational definitions for clarity.
Importance of Research Philosophy
- Understanding the philosophical underpinnings of research enhances comprehension and application of research findings.
Literature Review Purpose
- Conducting literature reviews informs the development of conceptual frameworks and enhances understanding of existing research.
Review of Literature
- Systematic literature reviews play a significant role in guiding research direction and improving nursing practice.
