Study Notes
Roles of Nurses in Research
- Independent researcher: prepares for research, collects data, administers experimental interventions, and recruits study participants
- Member of Research Team: contributes to data collection, experimental interventions, and participant recruitment
- Identifier of Researchable Problems: identifies patient-related problems, medication administration, and chronic issues
- Evaluator of Research Findings: reviews articles, critiques guidelines, and reads textbooks to evaluate research findings
- User of Research Findings: applies evidence-based research (EBR) to make changes in practice and improve client care
- Patient/Client Advocate: acts in both researcher and advocator roles, considering ethical considerations, study explanations, and participant support
History of Nursing Research
- Florence Nightingale pioneered research in the 1850s
- The first journal on research, Nursing Research, emerged in the 1950s
- Clinical research became increasingly important in the 1970s
- The National Center for Nursing Research was established at NIH in 1986
- The National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR) was established in 1993
- NINR's budget exceeded $100 million in the 2000s
- In 2014, NINR's budget was $146,244,000
Sources of Evidence for Nursing Practice
- Tradition: handing down knowledge from one generation to another, based on custom and accepted practices
- Experts or people with authority
- Clinical experience: trial and error, intuition
- Logical reasoning: inductive and deductive
- Assembled information: quality improvement data, medication error reports, infection rates
Clinical Nursing Research
- Designed to generate evidence to guide nursing practice and improve client care and quality of life
- Involves clients or studies that have the potential for affecting client care
- Focuses on clients and studies that positively affect client care
- Consists of patient symptom management, behavioral interventions, and prevention and health promotion
Continuum of Participation
- Consumer: nurses who read and evaluate research reports or summaries
- Producer: nurses who design and undertake research studies
- Both consumers and producers play a key role in Evidence-based Practice (EBP)
Specific Research Roles for Nurses
- Principal investigator: begins nurse research, conducting small-scale surveys
- Member of research team: contributes to data collection, experimental interventions, and participant recruitment
- Identifier of researchable problems: identifies patient-related problems, medication administration, and chronic issues
- Evaluator of research findings: reviews articles, critiques guidelines, and reads textbooks to evaluate research findings
- User of research findings: applies evidence-based research (EBR) to make changes in practice and improve client care
- Patient client advocate: acts in both researcher and advocator roles, considering ethical considerations, study explanations, and participant support
- Subject participant: participates in studies as a subject
