Study Notes
Clinical Experience in Nursing Research
- Nursing clinical practice is a significant source of research problems
- Challenges or difficult situations in practice can motivate research
- Patient reports of difficulties can be a catalyst for investigation
Nursing Education and Administration
- Nurse educators can study student learning styles and abilities
- Methods of teaching effectiveness in classrooms and clinical settings can be researched
- Various evaluation methods for nursing students can be researched
Nursing Literature Review
- Research topics and potential problems can be identified via nursing publications
- Research problems can be generated from existing theories
- The theories articulate ideas about situations requiring testing
Social Issues
- Social and political issues can inspire research topics
- Real-world topics relevant to healthcare (e.g., teen smoking) can lead to research
Major Steps in Research Process
1. Formulating and Delimiting the Problem
- Identifying a problem, question, or hypothesis is the initial step in research
- Example: a study of women treated for breast cancer
2. Problem Statement and Purpose
- Defining variables, population, and expected research answers
- Example: Effects of treatments for breast cancer on women's body image
3. Conceptual/Theoretical Framework
- Develop a congruent framework for the research approach
- The framework guides the research project
4. Literature Review
- Understanding existing knowledge about the research problem
- Extensive literature review to provide a basis for new knowledge
- Review may occur before the problem is entirely defined
