Role of Research and the Importance of the Searchable Clinical
Question (graded)
Research is a fundamental role that every
nurses plays but in different ways. How do you fulfill the research role now?
What trends have created a push for nursing practice based on evidence?
As you contemplate your role in the research
process, read the assigned Week 1 Case Study and formulate one searchable,
clinical question in the PICO (T) format. There are several potential questions
that could be asked. Identify if the focus of your question is assessment,
etiology, treatment, or prognosis. Remember to integrate references

Search for Significant Clinical Issue in a Research Database
(graded)
Reflect on your practice and identify a
significant nursing clinical issue that you would like to search for evidence
in online sources. Formulate searchable, clinical questions in the PICO(T)
format for your nursing clinical issue.
Next, review the guidelines for the Research
Database Assignment due Week 3. Use your PICO elements to search for ONE
research database that is relevant to your nursing clinical issue. Identify the
name of the database or data source, its web address (URL), and briefly
describe how it is relevant to your nursing clinical issue.

Research Problems and Designs (graded)
The research design flows from the research
question and outlines the plan for the study that will answer the research
question. The design identifies the major components of the study. It is
important to remember that there is no one best design for a research study.
Define qualitative and quantitative research designs.
After you review the designs, describe which
research design you would expect to find when searching for evidence relevant
to your own research question. Why? Explain your answer.
DeVry nr439 week 4 discussion
Ethical and Legal Issues (graded)
Read one of the following:
Shepard, A. (2010). Moral distress: A
consequence of caring. Clinical Journal of Oncology Nursing,
Stringer, S. (2013). Moral choices in end of
life care for children. Cancer Nursing Practice, 12(7), 27–32.
Cite the article you chose. Describe the ways
the subjects were vulnerable. Is there any conflict of interest? Which
protections should be put in place to protect these subjects from harm? What
are the incidence and prevalence of moral distress in nursing today?
DeVry nr439 week 5 discussion
Data Collection and Measurement (graded)
The tools that we use to collect data need to
be reliable and valid. Define these terms with respect to research and explain why
they are important.
Consider data collection and measure methods
as you read the following online or after you download it.
American Nurses Association. (2014). Fast
facts: The nursing workforce 2014: Growth, salaries, education, demographics
& trends. Retrieved from Review these facts and describe what the results
say about this sample of the nursing workforce. What do you believe was the
intent of the researcher who designed the survey?

Data Results and Analysis (graded)
After the data are collected, it is time to
analyze the results! Discuss one of the four basic rules for understanding
results in a research study. Compare clinical significance and statistical
significance. Which one is more meaningful when considering applying evidence
to your practice? Compare descriptive statistics and inferential statistics in
research. Please give an example of each type that could be collected in a
study that would be done on your nursing clinical issue you identified in
previous weeks.
DeVry nr439 week 7 discussion
Applying and Sharing Evidence (graded) After
the data has been analyzed, conclusions are made regarding what the findings
mean. Then, this information must be shared in order to achieve EBP.
Choose one of the articles from the RRL
assignment and discuss the findings. Would you apply the evidence found to your
practice?
Explain your answer. Translating research into
practice is the final and most important step in the research process. Review
information you found in the Database Assignment, and explain ways in which you
would share the research-based evidence with your peers.
DeVry nr439 week 8 discussion
Where Do You Go From Here? (graded)
How has your thinking changed about nursing
research and evidence based practice as the result of this course? What
challenges do you anticipate you will face in implementing EBP, and how will
you overcome these challenges?
