Study Notes
Ontology and Research Paradigms
- Various forces influence reality and knowledge, highlighting the concept of relativism.
- Subjective interactions are crucial for capturing the perspectives of study subjects.
- Research methodologies must remain flexible and evolve over time.
- Generalizability can be a limitation in qualitative research approaches.
- Complementary paradigms address different aspects of research, including goals, evidence, cooperation, ethics, and the fallibility of research.
Purposes of Nursing Research
- Therapeutic Intervention: Investigates the effects of treatments and processes on health outcomes.
- Diagnosis and Assessment: Focuses on the development and validation of assessment tools.
- Prognosis: Aims to explore outcomes linked to specific health conditions.
- Etiology: Identifies causes of health issues and harmful phenomena.
- Description: Seeks to explain health-related experiences and phenomena.
- Meaning: Explores the significance and implications of health-related experiences.
Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) vs. Research Utilization (RU)
- EBP integrates research findings with clinical expertise and patient preferences for improved care.
- RU emphasizes applying new knowledge to practice settings, ensuring real-world relevance.
Sources of Best Research Evidence
- Primary Studies: Original research articles provide foundational evidence.
- Systematic Reviews: Compile and synthesize findings from multiple primary studies.
- Meta-analysis: Integrates quantitative data from various studies for comprehensive insights.
- Meta-synthesis: Reviews qualitative studies to enhance understanding of data.
Hierarchies of Evidence
- Best evidence in nursing emphasizes methodologically sound, rigorous research that addresses efficacy, safety, and cost-effectiveness.
- Evaluates the reliability of assessment instruments and the nature of patient experiences.
Nursing Research Process: Key Concepts
- Phenomena or Concepts: Abstract ideas that encompass human attributes, essential in both qualitative and quantitative research.
- Concepts like pain, fatigue, and obesity serve as examples in research inquiries.
Role of Nurses in Research
- Consumers: Stay informed about research developments by reading reports and summaries.
- Producers: Design and conduct research to contribute to nursing knowledge and practice.
Sources of Knowledge in Nursing
- Tradition: Reliance on accepted truths, often without verification.
- Experts: Individuals with specialized knowledge contribute to practice understanding.
- Clinical Experience: Incorporates personal and professional backgrounds into decision-making.
- Trial and Error: Involves experimenting with alternatives to find effective solutions.
- Disciplined Research: The most reliable source of knowledge, emphasizing systematic inquiry.
Evolution from Pre-modernity to Modernity
- Pre-modernity valued stability through tradition, while modernity emphasizes transformative progress.
- Modern research has played a key role in liberating humanity from ignorance and enhancing lives.
