This document discusses sources of knowledge in nursing and types of nursing research. It identifies sources of knowledge as tradition, reasoning, authority, role modeling, borrowing knowledge from other fields, scientific research, trial and error, and personal experience. Regarding nursing research, the document outlines basic research which extends knowledge and applied research which focuses on solving problems. It describes nursing research as a scientific process that aims to validate, refine, and generate new knowledge to improve nursing practice, patient outcomes, and healthcare delivery. The document also discusses characteristics of the scientific research process including being orderly, systematic, empirical, and generalizable, as well as purposes of nursing research such as description, exploration, explanation, prediction, and control.
Introduction to-scientific-nursing-research
- 1. Presented by Mostafa Refaat Kamar Mohamed Anees Mohamed Abd El Latif Mohamed Mohamed Hussein Hasan Mohamed el Metwaly Ali
- 2. The quality of nursing practice depends on the quality of knowledge learned. Thus one needs to ask about the sources, the quality and credibility of new knowledge in nursing.
- 3. Tradition It include beliefs that are based on customs and past trends Reasoning It is the processing and organizing the idea in order to reach logical conclusions
- 4. Authority An authority is a person with expertise and power who is able to influence opinion and behavior, and he knows more in a given area than others Role Modeling It learning by imitating the behaviors of an expert.
- 5. Borrowing It involves the use of knowledge from other fields Scientific research It is the source of accurate scientific information
- 6. Trial and error It is an approach with unknown outcomes that is used in a situation of uncertainty, in which other sources of knowledge are unavailable. Personal experience It involves gaining knowledge by being personally involved in an event, situation, or circumstance
- 7. Word research mean search again or to examine carefully. Research is active, systematic inquiry or investigation to validate and refine existing knowledge generate new knowledge.
- 8. It is a controlled , systemic investigations that are rooted in objective reality and aim to develop general knowledge about natural phenomena
- 9. It is a scientific process that validates and refines existing knowledge and generates new knowledge to develop the body of knowledge that directly or indirectly influences nursing practice.
- 10. Through nursing research, scientific knowledge can be developed, refined and extended to improve nursing care patient outcomes the health care delivery system. Nurses need scientific knowledge to improve their decision making regarding what care give to patients and how to implement that care
- 11. 1. Basic research ; is undertaken to extend the base of knowledge on a topic, or to formulate or refine a theory Examples : A study looking at how caffeine consumption impacts the brain A study assessing whether men or women are more likely to suffer from depression
- 12. 2. Applied research; focuses on finding solutions to existing problems Examples: Theory of self-care deficit Theory of acute pain management
- 13. 1. Order and systemization In scientific study the researcher moves in an orderly and systematic fashion. 2. Control Involves imposing condition on the research situation so that biases are minimized.
- 14. 3. Empirical evidence It is comes from objective reality and gathered directly or indirectly by human senses. It is not based on personal beliefs 4. Generalization The ability to go beyond the specifies of the situation to broad, general circumstances.
- 15. 1. Description 2. Exploration 3. Explanation 4. Prediction 5. Control
- 16. 1. Description Description involves identifying the nature and Characteristics of nursing phenomena Example: study describe the complains of women during normal pregnancy. 2. Exploration Aimed at exploring the dimensions of the phenomenon and the other factors which it is related Example: Student’s acceptance toward methods of evaluation .
- 17. 3. Explanation In explanation, the relationships among phenomena are clarified and reasons why certain events occur are identified. Example: study the relationships between prolonged bed rest and the patient’s skin integrity (why prolonged bed rest correlated with bed sours )
- 18. 4. Prediction Through prediction, one can estimate the probability of a specific outcome in a given situation Example: study the effect of weather changes on the rate of respiratory infections during childhood 5. Control Control mean manipulate the situation to produce the desired outcome. Example: study the effect of health education program on the nurse’s attitude toward patients with Aids.
