Nurses in advanced roles -- practitioners, educators, and administrators -- have a 'professional and moral imperative' to conduct and/or promote ethically- and culturally-sound nursing research. One of the challenges presented to nurses is how research results are translated into practice, specifically, how reliable or applicable these results are when applied to a specific group or population with different views about medical/health care? It is in this kind of cases that a culturally-sound nursing research is critical and necessary. Deliberate consideration for a culturally-sound or -- applicable results or evidence would result to greater appreciation and support for nursing research, not to mention the benefits for nurses and patients alike as results/evidence are applied in practice to develop responsive and appropriate healthcare interventions (Kitson, 2008:2).
Inevitably, conducting nursing research also requires adherence to not only ethical research, but also to the Code of Ethics which nurses are professionally and morally beholden to. Thus, it is imperative and in...
In some cases there are administrative issues that are insurmountable and stand on the way of implementation of major researches in the nursing quarters (WHO Regional Office for South-East Asia, 2006). In some cases there are problems with the research itself and the suggested innovations. This can be in the form of inability to replicate the research findings, the methodologies used could be inadequate, availing results that are grossly conflicting and
Nursing Research The study is divided in three parts. The first part identifies the palliative care as an area of nursing research that has improved the patient's outcome. The second part discusses the difference and similarities between nursing process and research process. The final part reviews three articles that focus on the palliative care, nursing and research process, and the paper reviews the abstract of each article. Identification of area of Nursing
5 million U.S. patients develop HCS's that result in $5billion in costs and almost 100,000 deaths. It is amazing that in one of the most technologically advanced societies ever, 100,000 individuals lose their lives based on increased microbial and invasive infectious agents -- and that most of those affected (68%) are those that have been successfully treated for cancer (Siegel and Korniewica, 2007). Transcultural and diversity in nursing is another topic
For example, patients with weakened immune symptoms might be more likely to catch such an infection. To minimize the risk of other patient variables interfering with the data, the nurses whose hand-washing methods would be subject to study would be chosen from the wider sampling at random, with the controls upon the extreme cases cited above. The nurses would be identified as frequent or low-frequency hand-washers, depending on how
Nursing Research Theoretical framework: Nursing research study According to the article by Reed (2013) entitled "Childhood obesity policy: Implications for African-American girls and a nursing ecological model" from Nursing Science Quarterly, while obesity has been on the rise for all socio-economic and racial groups in the U.S., amongst African-American adolescent girls the condition has become particularly rampant. Reed uses an ecological model to analyze obesity. She focuses on how exterior circumstances and
Though I have never had the opportunity to truly work with a data expert on a specific piece of nursing research, one of my colleagues that I was able to interview has worked on a variety of research projects and has a strong knowledge both of statistical models and practices as well as specific nursing research practices, theoretical constructs, and validity measures. The insights that this individual shared did not
