NURSING RESEARCH-CH1
NINR mission statement
indicates support for clinical and basic research and research training on health and illness across the lifespan
Cochrane collaboration
international nonprofit organization of people with the goal of helping health care providers, policy makers, patients, and their advocates and caretakers make well informed decisions about health care
replication studies
involve repeating a study with all the essential elements of the original study held intact
tradition
involves handing down of knowledge from one generation to another and leads to actions that occur because we have always done it that way
research of nursing did not become evident till
late 1970s
which agency is most influential
national institute of Nursing Research
who was the first to mention a research system
nightingale
patient/client advocate during studies
nurses should help answer questions and explain a study to a potential participant before the study begins
many studies have focused on
nurses themselves
the first journal devoted primarily to the publication of nursing research was
nursing research
the most objective means of obtaining nursing knowledge is through
nursing research
clinical nursing research
nursing research that involves clients or studies that have the potential to affect the care of clients, such studies with aninals or with so called normal subjects
quantitative research
objectivity, tight controls over the research situation, and the ability to generalize findings
outcome research is in a different category because
of the type of design, methods, and sampling procedures
authorities
often provide knowledge for other people
priorities for emergency
pain management, staff shortages, and overcrowding
prpriorites for public health
population focused outcomes nad workforce issues
Collaboration's goals are achieved by
preparation, updating, and promoting of systematic reveiews based on research studies
priorities for orthopaedic nurses
preventing confusion in elderly patients following a hip fracture, determining the most effective safety measures to use with patiens with acute confusional state, and differentiating pain response according to diagnoses, ages, and pain
similarities between scientific research and problem solving
problem area, establishing a plan, collecting data, and evaluating the data
problem solving vs scientific research
problem solving: attempts to seek a solution to a problem that exists for a person or persons in a given setting scientific research: broader, obtain knowledge that can be generalized to other people and to other settings
the major reason for conducting nursing research is to
promote evidence based care for patients and clients
areas of research emphasis are
promoting helath and preventing disease, improving quality of life, and eliminating health disparities
end results include
quality of life and mortality
what are the two highest ranked nursing priorities for oncology
quality of life and pain
nursing leaders have called for research focusing on
quality of life, patient safety, lving with a chronic illness, and end of life care
in past, nurse researchers have primarily conducted
quantitative research
what type of study is the high priority in nursing
replication
outcome research define
research that focuses on measurable outcomes of interventions with certain patient populations
the __________ is only one source of nursing knowledge
scientific method
goal of research utilization
see that the findings of research studies are actually put into action in nursing practice
nursing research in the United States was
slow to develop
qualitative research
subjective meaning of experiences to individuals
six categories for 1990-1996 priorities
support, holism, mental health nursing practice, quality care outcomes, mental health etiology, and mental health delivery systems
define nursing research
systemic, objective process of analyzing phenomena of importance to nursing
nurses receive the largest amount of government funding thorugh
the National Institute for Nursing Research
research utilization focuses on
the implementation of findings from specific research studies
primary goal of all professional nurses
to be the clients advocate and provide optimal care on the basis of evidence obtained through research
graduates should understand how to
translate research, collaborate with scientists, evaluate rather than carrying out research
outcome research seeks to
understand the end results of health care practices and interventions
priorities for nursing research
1. health promotion and prevention health care needs of high risk groups life satisfaction of individuals and families development of cost effective health care systems
nursing roles in research projects
1. principal investigator 2. member of a research team 3. identifier of research team 4. evaluator of research findings 5. user of research findings 6. patient/client advocate during studies 7. subject/participant in studies
goals for nursing research
1. promote evidence based nursing practice 2. ensure credibility of the nursing profession 3. provide accountability for nursing practice 4. document the cost effectiveness of nursing care
sources of knowledge to guide nursing practice
1. tradition 2. authority 3. trial and error
what reviews are the most comprehensive, reliable, and relevant source to use
Cochrane collaboration
empirical data
data gathered through the sense of organs information is gathered in the form of data or facts that are obtained in an unbiased manner from some aspect of the real world
growth of nursing research seems to be directly related to
education level
scientific method is based oin
empirical data
masters should understand how to
evaluate research findings and develop and implement evdidcen based practice
major reason for nursing research
foster optimum care for clients
quantitative research is
hard science and qual is soft science
the general public
has little knowledge aobut nursing research
successful evidence based practice depends on
high quality nursing research
all nurses should be able to
identify researchable problems for nursing research studies
nursing research was able to develop and expand due to
advanced education preparation
majority of nursing studies have been examples of
applied research
BSN level should understand how to
apply research findings from nursing and other disciplines in their clinical practice, be able to work with others to identify potential research problems and collaborate on research teams
Florence Nightingale derived her foundation from
authoritarian system
basic v applied research
basic: concerned with generating new knowledge applied: concerned with using knowledge to solve immediate problems
much of th knowledge that has been used by nurses was developed
by members of other disciplines
