This document discusses the need for a paradigm shift in nursing research. It notes that while efforts have been made to promote evidence-based nursing, there remains a gap between research findings and clinical practice. The document outlines different research paradigms and factors that can drive paradigm shifts, such as technological advances. It argues that paradigm shifts are important for developing up-to-date knowledge and meeting human and social needs. Some examples of potential paradigm shifts in clinical nursing after COVID-19 include increased telehealth, home-based care, and focus on infection prevention and digital health technologies.

- 2. “Knowledge, like muscles, must be nourished constantly and used frequently to retain function. Learning like motion, is more easily maintained if it's momentum has not been interrupted.” Prof. Dr. Ram Sharan Mehta,BPKIHS 2

- 6. Prof. Dr. Ram Sharan Mehta,BPKIHS 6
- 7. Why Research is Important? Research Provide scientific basis for: • Description: about existing and new knowledge • Explanation: about the existing knowledge in relation to the effect and the outcome • Prediction: predict the outcome of intervention • Control: ability to write prescription Prof. Dr. Ram Sharan Mehta,BPKIHS 7
- 8. Areas of Nursing Research: Ultimate aim of Nursing Research is to Provide Quality Patient care Areas: • Service: Health Promotion & Disease Prevention -Health Promotion: Diet, Exercise, Hand-washing, patient Safety, Quality of Health Care, Nursing Staff etc. - Disease Prevention: Quality Nursing Care, Resource use, infection control, Oxygen use, IVI etc. • Education: Student Learning, Teaching Learning, Quality Education • Administration: Evaluation of Employee, Supervision, Communication Prof. Dr. Ram Sharan Mehta,BPKIHS 8
- 9. There is no “best type” of research or “best way” of doing research. • It depend on: - Context - Assumptions - paradigm - Perspective Decide the type of research methodology to be used to study phenomena. Prof. Dr. Ram Sharan Mehta,BPKIHS 9
- 10. Research Paradigm: (Philosophical Assumptions of Research) Paradigm: • Way of looking at the Phenomenon, Society, Nation & world • School of thought • Frame-work of thinking • Set of assumptions • Ideology or Mind Set About how research ought to be conducted to find out truth. Prof. Dr. Ram Sharan Mehta,BPKIHS 10
- 11. Paradigm Paradigm consists of: Ontology Epistemology methodology Prof. Dr. Ram Sharan Mehta,BPKIHS 11
- 12. Prof. Dr. Ram Sharan Mehta,BPKIHS 12
- 13. 1. Ontology: Realism- Objective, real, facts Relativism- Subjective, multiple response, interpretivism 2. Epistemology: Positivism- survey research, RCT, Exp/Quasi-exp study Interpretivism- Case study: individual or Social, Action Research (find Problem & solve), Ethnographic studies etc. 3. Methodology: Quantitative- Math/Stat Calculation Qualitative- Quality Ontology + epistemology = Research Philosophy (fill Knowledge gap or Solve Problem) Research Philosophy + Research methodology = Research Paradigm Research Paradigm is important basis for research foundation Prof. Dr. Ram Sharan Mehta,BPKIHS 13
- 14. Different Types of Research Paradigm (Brief Review: Concepts & application in Nursing Research) • Positivist Paradigm: (Auguste Comte, 1830-1842) • Post-positivist paradigm: (Karl Popper, 1960-1970) • Constructive (naturalistic) paradigm: (Jean Piaget, 1896-1980) • Pragmatic Paradigm: (John Dewey, 1870) • Interpretive paradigm: (Giambattista Vico, 18th Century) • Modern Paradigm: (Francisco Goya, Late 19th to early 20th Century) • Post-modern paradigm: (Jean-Francosis Lyotard, 1979) • Neo-modernism Theory: 2001, Uphold Spiritual & Aesthetic Value in art. • Critical Theory (ideology): (Max Horkheimer, 1937) • Emancipatory Theory: ( Abraham Lincoln, 1863) (US: forever free slaves) • Others: Prof. Dr. Ram Sharan Mehta,BPKIHS 14
- 15. • Positivist Paradigm: (Auguste Comte, 1830-1842) - Reality exists, Single Reality, Truth is Real - Tight control of study, - Deductive study (Specific to general) - Objectivity and Quantification: Quantitative study - Contrast to Subjectivity: Opinion, belief, and feeling • Post-positivist paradigm: (Karl Popper, 1960-1970) - Milder form of Positivism ( allow more interaction): e.g. Interview using participatory observation. - seek probabilistic evidence: survey, questionnaire, case study. Prof. Dr. Ram Sharan Mehta,BPKIHS 15
- 16. • Constructive paradigm: (Jean Piaget, 1896-1980) - Qualitative phenomenon: Empathy, belief, Value, feeling etc. - Reality is multiple and subjective - researcher interacts with those being researched - subjectivity is desirable - Emphasis: dynamic, holistic, individual aspects - difficult to replicate, small sample size • Pragmatic Paradigm: (John Dewey, 1870) - Concern with practical issues, Learning by experience - Real life problems, Single or Multiple reality - Reality continuously change - subjective in Nature, have multiple reality - combine both Positivist + Constructivist approach - use both quantitative and qualitative method: Mixed Method • Critical Theory (ideology): (Max Horkheimer, 1937) - each person has their own ideology, - individual interpretation and explanation is vital Prof. Dr. Ram Sharan Mehta,BPKIHS 16
- 17. Examples of research studies for differed Paradigm: • Positivist: God Exist / God Not Exist, Yes/No • Post-Positivist: Participant observation – Discharge teaching practice among nurses • Constructivist: Use both Qualitative and Quantitative – Burn out among the nurses • Pragmatist: Problems experience by night duty nurses Problems experience by nurses in doctors round Prof. Dr. Ram Sharan Mehta,BPKIHS 17

- 30. Current Trends in Nursing and Health Research … • Focus on Qualitative Research • Shared decision making: Group research - more ideas • Feminism: female issues • Focus on ethical issues: earlier it was ignored or not mandatory • Use of new software's in data analysis: for both qualitative & Quantitative • PhD degree in Nursing & Post-doc. Degree in Nursing Other Trends in Health Science Research are: • Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Research: Proposal, Analysis, Presentation • Focus on Rehabilitation of the subject: to recover from placebo or drug effect. • Animal study to cell culture study • Biochemical study to Molecular or Genetic study • Focus on Nutritional study: e.g. Vitamin D, Folic Acid , Vitamin A etc. • Others: many more Prof. Dr. Ram Sharan Mehta,BPKIHS 30
- 31. Barriers in utilization of nursing research: • Absence of published research on specific clinical issues • Published research may have limitations (sample size, design): lack generalization • Nurses may lack experiences in reading and critiquing research report • Difficulty in interpreting study designs and statistical findings • Health care system pays little attention to research in nursing • Lack of access to research literature for bedside clinical nurse • Staff-Nurse not read research journals Prof. Dr. Ram Sharan Mehta,BPKIHS 31

- 34. •An important paradigm (or worldview) shift is occurring in science that affects the nature of nursing education, practice, and research. •The shift from positivism to postmodernism and now to Neomodernism has received little attention in US nursing and as such may forestall many opportunities related to such change.

- 40. Take Home Message: • Priority should be given to Qualitative study • Nursing faculty should train to teach qualitative study • NHRC: must empower nurses in Nursing Research • Advocacy/Action Role of Nursing Leader to strengthen Nursing Research: with NHRC, MEC, NNC, MOHP, etc. • Role of Professional organization (e.g. NAN): Advocacy, Training, Conference, Grant, Co-ordination, Facilitation etc. Prof. Dr. Ram Sharan Mehta,BPKIHS 40
