Study Notes
Role of Nurses in Research
- Nurses should be client advocates during a research study, ensuring ethical aspects are considered, and providing support to study participants.
- They should evaluate research findings to determine their usefulness as evidence-based nursing practice.
Evaluation of Research Report
- Researcher qualifications: Identify the person or persons who conducted the research and their qualifications.
- Title: Should be concise, contain the population and major variables, and be brief (no more than 15 words).
- Abstract: A 100-200 words summary of the study, including aim, hypothesis(es), research question(s), subjects, methods, major findings, and recommendations.
- Introduction: Should catch the reader's interest, provide background information on the problem, and justify the study's significance.
Types of Research Studies
- Qualitative research: Concerned with subjective meaning of an experience to an individual, using content analysis.
- Quantitative research: Concerned with objective, tight controls over research situation, and ability to generalize findings, using statistical tests.
