Basics or Fundamentals of Nursing Research
 |
Definition
In nursing study designs,
research is planned and carried out step by step to develop insights or results
about problems or events that improve nursing practice.No doubt it consist of same steps as in many other disciplines but lying under biological researches but it core is focused on Care only.
Purposes
Nurses in dynamic
environments adopt an evidence-based practices.This incorporates research into
their decision making and interactions with clients or patients for best nursing practice outcomes.
Affected People and Beneficiaries of Nursing Research.
The product and outcomes of nursing
research, used to improve the professional practice and skills of all nurses.The research consumers or utilizers (who read and evaluate studies) and the other one research producers or researchers (who design and conduct research studies) both get benefit.
Beginning of Nursing Research
Nursing research got started or emerged by Florence Nightingale (mother of modern nursing and also statistician).While developed slowly until its rapid acceleration in the 1950s and later on. Since the 1970s,
nursing research has focused only the problems of clinical practice and their resolution.There was other purpose of research outcomes.

Nursing Research Institutes Around the World
1: The first nursing research
institute established in the United States. The name of this institute was National Institute of Nursing
Research (NINR). At the service of nursing research worldwide and give better outcomes of care.
2:The second one was established In 1993.The United States
established an institute that validates practices.It is considered
investigational under the National Institutes of Health term in better way.
Future View of Expectations About Nursing Research
In future specifically in upcoming decades.Nursing
research, will move one more step forward and its priorities will likely be outcomes research, research
valorization projects, research replication, multi center studies, and expanded
dissemination efforts.The organized research contrasts with other sources of
evidence for nursing practice, such as B. Tradition, voices of authority,
personal experience, trial and error, intuition and reasoning. Rigorous
research is at the top or bottom of the evidence hierarchy as the basis for
clinical decisions according to its importance for nursing profession.
Nursing Research Paradigms or Patterns
Schematically and structurally designed
nursing research takes place within two broad paradigms.Under the broad view with
underlying assumptions about the complexity of reality:the first one is a
positivist paradigm while the other is a naturalistic paradigm according to research specialists.
1: The positivist one is considered under the objective reality and natural phenomena are regular and sequential.For this purpose the
related assumption of determinism refers to the belief that phenomena are the
result of prior rather than accidental causes.
2: The second is the Mass reality.It is not an authentic
entity but a result of the human mind. It can be said "truth" consists of various
constructions of reality.These realities are known as the naturalistic paradigm.
Paradigms and Research Designs in Their Characters
The collection and analysis
of information or numerical data is analyzed under a quantitative research
design. In addition, this quantitative design is considered under the concept
of the positive paradigm. The typical "scientific method" is a
systematic control used or adapted primarily for quantitative research.
Quantitative researchers base their findings on empirical evidence (evidence
gathered through the human senses) and bring the collective findings rather
than a single setting or situation.
Human experiences collected in the form of
subjective data can be handled more flexibly. He referred to qualitative
research under a positive paradigm.
Research Benefits
These basic study designs help broaden the
information base to add new information. A challenging situation is resolved or
solved using applied research design.
Expected research results & Outcomes
The purposes of nursing research include
the identification of the problem, the description of the event, the
investigation of the phenomenon, the explanation of the occurrence, the
expectation of results or predictions, and control.
