Class Discussion Questions (cont’d) What is the value of a research course to you as a nurse?
What Is Research? To search again To examine carefully Diligent and systematic inquiry Discovery Goal is to develop an empirical body of knowledge for a discipline
Definition of Nursing Research A scientific process that validates and refines existing knowledge and generates new knowledge that directly and indirectly influences nursing practice. It is the key to building an evidence-based practice for nursing.
Using Research in Practice Synthesis of knowledge (research, theory, and clinical experiences) Effect of philosophy Making a change in practice Evaluation of change for patient, provider, and health care system
Integrative Review of Research Critique of studies on a selected topic or practice problem Development of evidence-based practice guidelines: Example: safe administration of intramuscular injections Summarize the findings. Draw conclusions about what is known or not known about the topic.
Evidence-Based Practice Guidelines Conscientious integration of best research evidence with clinical expertise and patient values and needs in the delivery of high-quality, cost-effective health care Synthesis of knowledge for development of guidelines, standards, protocols, or policies to direct nursing interventions and practice
Why Is Research Important for Evidence-Based Practice? Develops empirical knowledge base Identifies best practices that are based on clinical practices Improves outcomes for: Patient and family Nurse Health care system
Nursing Research Provides: Description Explanation Prediction Control
Description Identifying and understanding the nature of nursing phenomena and the relationships among the phenomena to: Describe what exists in nursing practice. Discover new information. Promote understanding of situations. Classify information for use in the discipline.
Explanation Clarifying the relationships among phenomena and identifying the reasons why certain events occur
Prediction Estimating and anticipating the outcomes in a particular situation
Control Manipulating a situation so as to achieve a particular outcome
Research Participation at Various Levels of Educational Preparation
BSN Researcher Role Identify research problems. Assist with data collection. Critique research studies. Summarize research findings for use in practice.
Class Discussion Question Why should nurses be excellent consumers of research?

Florence Nightingale Nightingale focused on the importance of a healthy environment for patients. Aspects of her research included: Ventilation Cleanliness Purity of water Healthy diet

Nursing Research Methods Quantitative research Qualitative research Outcomes research
Quantitative Research Methods Descriptive research Correlational research Quasi-experimental research Experimental research

Qualitative Research Methods Phenomenological research Ground theory research Ethnographic research Historical research Focus groups
Qualitative Research Characteristics Philosophical origin: naturalistic, interpretive, humanistic Focus: broad, subjective, holistic Reasoning: dialectic, inductive Basis of knowing: meaning, discovery, understanding Theoretical focus: theory development
Outcomes Research Focus of outcomes: Patients and families Providers (nurses, physicians) Health care systems Outcomes used change practice and develop policy.
