1. IDENTIFICATION OF RESEARCH PROBLEUM.ppt
- 1. Identification of Research problem From, Mr. nageshv.a Asst. professor sdmions
- 2. What is research? It is an organized, systematic, data based, critical, scientific inquiry or investigation in to a specific problem, undertaken with the objectives of finding answers or solutions to it.
- 3. NURSING RESEARCH Nursing research is “Systematic inquiry designed to develop knowledge about issues of importance to the nursing profession, including nursing practice, education, administration and informatics”. (Polit and Beck )
- 4. Why we need research in nursing
- 5. Validation (accuracy of something) as a profession: Build a body of nursing knowledge Scientific basis for practice: Validate improvements in nursing practice Make health care efficient as well as cost effective
- 6. Filling gap in knowledge and practice: EBP. Chorlhexdine mouth wash in mucositis Moulding the technical skills and intellectual competence. Fostering commitment and accountability to the clients
- 7. Identifying new measures in nursing service. Helping to improve the standards in nursing education Refining existing theories and discovering new theories.
- 8. what is the importance of research in nursing?
- 9. SIGNIFICANCE OF RESEARCH IN NURSING: • Develop broad knowledge in their specialization. • Evidence based practice • New technological treatment methods , reduces cost of hospital stay, medication etc.
- 10. (Cont) • Improvement in nursing procedures and nursing care. • Participate in nursing research and health care research and conducting research in clinical area (Clinical nursing research). • Research utilization and evidence based practice “Theory into practice”.
- 12. Scope of nursing research • Nursing Education • Nursing Practice • Nursing Administration
- 13. NURSING EDUCATION • Improving new teaching methods in nursing education • Helps to update knowledge • Evaluate teaching learning activities effectively • Curriculum revision or innovation • Helps to put theory into practice • Identifies issues in teaching learning process and find out solution for that problem.
- 14. NURSING PRACTICE • It helps to improve quality of care • It provides innovative and modifies nursing care • Helps to meet the needs of the patients in various care setting - Home care - Palliative(relieving pain) and - Hospice care (terminally ill)
- 15. (Practice cont) • Super speciality hospital • Community health nursing care setting • School based nursing care • Evidence based practice in treatment and prevention of disease
- 16. NURSING ADMINISTRATION • Developing new knowledge regarding nursing administrative concepts • It helps to provide current concept of patient care, assignment method, quality care, supervision technique and motivation method • In-service or continuing nursing education programme to discuss current issues and concept of nursing care.
- 17. • It helps to develop skill in leadership, administration, communication and supervision. • It helps to solve conflicts in health related problems. • It helps to improve human resource management skills in recruitment, selection etc.
- 19. Identification of Research problem
- 20. RESEARCH PROBLEM INTRODUCTION A Research Problem Is A Question That A Researcher Wants To Answer &Wants To Solve First Step Depends On Several Factors I,e Knowledge , Skills, Interest, expertise, motivation, creativity etc
- 21. DEFINITIONS OF RESEARCH PROBLEM • A problem is an interrogative sentence or statement that asks what relation exists between two or more variables. the answer to question will provide what is having sought in the research. -- KERLINGER • A research problem is an area of concern where there is a gap in the knowledge base needed for professional practices.
- 22. Research problem Research problem refers to some difficulty which a researcher experience in the context of either a theoretical or practical situations and requires a solution to that particular problem.
- 23. IN IDENTIFYING THE PROBLEM RESEARCHER SHOULD ASK “What is the problem?” Example: Bed sore. Question is how can I prevent bed sore? What alternative methods can I use that would be more effective?
- 24. THE RESEARCH PROBLEMS SHOULD BE: • Verifiable Collect observable data and verify statistically. One should also see whether the problem is practical • Is it needed? • Is it important? • Is this study feasible? • Will it add to nursing knowledge and evidence based practice?
- 25. A WELL DEFINED PROBLEM SHOULD CONTAIN What we are going to study (Variables under study), How we are going to study (methodology), On whom the study will be conducted (Population) Where the study is going to be conducted (Setting).
- 26. Do I need a research question?
- 27. The research question can be written either in Interrogative (question form) or in Declarative (statement) form.
- 28. How do I find a research problem?
- 29. Sources Of problem Intuition Experience Professional literature Social issues Previous research Conferences/ Study tours Discussion with experts/ Colleagues
- 30. • THANK U
- 31. How can I decide which question/problem to study?
- 32. • Interest and motivation • A researchable question • Problem significance • Time availability • Research expertise CONT
- 33. • Ethical consideration • Resources available • Subject availability • Co-operation of others • Applicability of the findings
- 34. CONDITIONS FOR SELECTING THE PROBLEM • There must be some individual/ group/organization which face some difficulty or problem in a situation or an environment. • There must be some objectives to be attained.
- 35. • Subject areas which are already done or overdone should not be selected • Problem should be clearly stated and defined • The research problem should have utility value, moral value, social value or any one of them. • The suitability of the time period should be considered before defining the problem
- 36. FEW TIPS CHOOSING A RESEARCH TOPIC
- 37. 1. Brainstorm for ideas. Choose a topic that you are interested in! 2. Narrow your topic to something manageable. 3. Background reading can help you choose and limit the scope of your topic (review the literature).
- 38. 4. Identify the key words. 5. Discuss the topic with experts and colleagues. 6. Write down the topic 7. Critically evaluate the topic
- 39. Why, what, who, when and where of the topic: • Why did you choose the topic? • What interests you about it? • Who are the information providers on this topic? • Who might publish information about it? Who is affected by the topic? Do you have institutions or organizations affiliated with topic?
- 40. • What are the major questions for this topic? • Where is your topic important: individual, at the community level, local level, national or international level? Are there specific places affected by the topic? • When is/was your topic important? Is it current event or a historical event?
- 41. IN QUANTITY STUDIES HAS SIX COMPONENTS 1. Relevance of the study 2. Title of the study 3. Operational definition of the variables 4. Objectives of the study 5. Delimitations of the study (the factors, variables not included in the study Ex. time, size etc) 6. Scope and limitation of the study
- 42. CRITERIA FOR SELECTING A GOOD RESEARCH PROBLEM • Significance to nursing profession- benefit, purpose, practical use. • Original –unique • Feasible – time, cost, equipment &supplies, administrative support, peer support, sample, researchers competence, solvable ,current, interesting.
- 43. 1.Example for selecting a topic • Topic: “The environment”. It is very broad. Different ways to limit the topic are: • By geographical area: Eg: What environmental issues are most important in the north part of Hubli • By time: What are the most prominent environmental issues of the last 10 years? • By discipline: How does environmental awareness affect health practices? • By population: What are the effects of air population on senior citizens?
- 44. 2.Decubitus ulcer: • Can care givers involvement prevent bed sore in immobilized clients? • Is alcohol rub more effective than soap and water in preventing bed sore? • Can frequent change in position prevent bed sore? • Who are people more prone for bed sore? • What are the factors causing bed sore?
- 45. 3.Hypothermia In Premature Infants: Can Kangaroo mother care help in maintaining the temperature of premature infant? 4. Injection pain in infants: Can breast feeding just before an injection reduce pain in infants? These are some of the ways by which we can find out the research topics.
