    • Define research
    - research is systematic inquiry that uses disciplined methods to answer questions and solve
    problems.
    - The ultimate goal of formal research is to gain knowledge that would be useful for many
    people
    - Nursing research is systematic inquiry designed to develop trustworthy evidence about issues
    of importance to nurses and their clients.
    - clinical nursing research, which is research designed to guide nursing practice.
    - Clinical nursing research typically begins with questions stemming from practice problems—
    problems you may have already encountered.

    • Why is research important in nursing

    Research helps nurses determine effective best practices and improve patient care. Nurses in an
    online RN to BSN program learn to retrieve, read, critique and apply nursing research. Because new
    information is always coming to light, it is crucial that BSN-prepared nurses know the importance of
    research. The findings from peer-reviewed studies can correct old misunderstandings, pave the way for
    new treatment protocols and create new methodology — all of which improve patient outcomes.

    Research also helps nursing respond to changes in the healthcare environment, patient populations
    and government regulations. As researchers make discoveries, the practice of nursing continues to
    change. The information students learn can become quickly outdated, so being able to keep up with new
    developments in nursing helps graduates in their careers.

    • What are the Purpose of Research in Nursing.

    - Promote Evidenced Based Nursing Practice

    - EBP as a clinical problem-solving strategy is that it de-emphasizes decisions based on custom,


    authority, or ritual.

    - The major reason for conducting nursing research is to foster optimum care for clients.

    - Evidence-based nursing practice (EBNP) means that nurses make clinical decisions based on the
    best research evidence, their clinical expertise, and the healthcare preferences of their patients/clients.

    - Although EBNP may be based on factors other than research findings, such as patient
    preferences and the expertise of clinicians, the aim of EBNP is to provide the best possible care based on
    the best available research.

    • What are the different Types of research.

    • Quantitative research: Numbers, percentages and variables are used to communicate


    results.
    • Qualitative research: Findings take the form of thoughts, perceptions and experiences.
    • Descriptive research expresses the characteristics or traits of a specific group, situation or
    individual. This type of research looks for new conclusions and connections that can be made
    based on observed traits.
    • Quasi-experimental research looks at cause-and-effect relationships between different
    variables.
    • Correlational research considers the relationships among variables, but does not draw a
    cause-and-effect relationship.

    • What is evidence based practice


    - Evidence-based practice requires using research outcomes to drive clinical decisions and
    care. Nurses must base their work on the results of research. Peer-reviewed, published data
    that is accepted by the nursing profession as a whole provides guidance and establishes best
    practices in the field. Following the evidence, wherever it leads, is key to evidence-based
    practice. Results must be free of bias, verifiable and reproducible under the same research
    conditions. The standards for good research are high because published research results are
    likely to substantially influence the practice of nursing.
