Research is systematic inquiry, or study to validate and
refine existing knowledge and develop new knowledge.

settings answer question about patient care, education
and administration. Research ensures that the
practices are based on evidence rather than tradition.
• Nursing research can be done in education,
administration and patient in care.

generally in public health

12. 1900, Most studies focused on nursing education like
educational preparation and clinical experience of nursing
students
But limited basis to publish their studies, though theAmerican
journal of nursing has published on 1900‟s
Lack of research in nursing practice
1960, advances in nursing research occurred„,.
International journal of nursing and Canadian journal of
nursing published in 1963

13. By the 1970s , number of nurse‟s conducted research studies.
journals were established in the united states in the 1970s,
advances in nursing sciences , research in nursing and health, and
the western journal of nursing research.

advanced nursing , the premier international journal of nursing
research, began publication in the united kingdom in 1976.

14. availability of computers for the collection and the analysis of
information, and an ever growing recognition that research is an
integral part of professional nursing.
. the first volume of the Annual Review of Nursing Research was
published in 1983. These annual reviews include summaries of current
research evidence on selected areas of research practice and
encourage utilization of research findings
in 1986 of the National Centre for Nursing Research (NCNR)at the

21. RESEARCH PRIORITIES IN NURSING

22. BARRIERS AND
FACILITATORS
OF NURSING RESEARCH
UTILIZATION

23. AREA BARRIERS
ORGANISATION INSUFFICIENT AUTHORITY TO CHANGE PATIENTCARE
ADMN NOT ALLOWINGIMPLIMENTATION
INADEQUATE FACILITIES FOR IMPLIMENTATION
PRESENTATION AND
ACCESSIBILITY OF
RESEARCH
STATISTICAL ANALYSES ARE NOTUNDERSTANDABLE
LITERATURE IS NOT COMPLIED AT ONEPLACE
RESEARCH ARTICLE ARE NOT READILYAVAILABLE
CHARACTERISTICS
OF INNOVATION
LITERATURE REPORTS CONFLICTINGRESULITS
METHODOLOGICAL INADEQUACIES OF RESEARCH
RESEARCH REPORTS/ARTICLE ARE NOT PUBLISHED
FAST ENOUGH

24. THE FACILITATORS OF NURSING RESEARCH
Increased administrative support and encouragement are needed
colleague support and time to review and implement research
findings.
First and foremost is the creation of an environment in which
nurses are comfortable
Questioning and evaluating current practice, seeking out
research based solutions to care problems, and testing them in
trials appropriately.
 Developing nurses‟ research skills through attendance at
conferences, continuing education, and in-service workshops.
Research utilization is expected and rewarded

25. Importance of Nursing Research
Nurses ask questions aimed at gaining new knowledge to improve
patient care.
Research-based (evidence based) practice = integrating
research findings into clinical decision making
Accountability for care-related decisions; research expands
nursing practice
Reinforce identity of nursing as a profession – knowing/
understanding pts. health care experience

26. , I have concluded that research in nursing practice has several
purposes:
a)to increase knowledge in the field, thus laying the basic foundations
for the practice of patient care,
b)to build up evidence for such practice;
c)to contribute to the attention of the population‟s need for health,
quality of life and wellbeing,
d)to guide efficiency in health and nursing services, ensuring quality
and cost-benefit,
e)to generate the knowledge that guides educational and regulatory
policies in the nursing profession
