2. Research
• It is always good to know the reason
on ‘why’ we do the things
• To answer we need evidence or data
• Evidence is generated through the
systematic search of the knowledge.
3. Research
• The systematic search of knowledge require
the series of procedure starting from
• Identification of problem
• To set aims and objective
• Designing the suitable method
• Collection of data analysis and interpretation.
• Drawing conclusion and recommendation
• The set of procedure is called research
4. Research- definition
• It is a process of discovering new
knowledge.
• It is a logical and systematic search for
new and useful information on a
particular topic.
• It is an investigation of finding a solution
to scientific and social problem, through
systematic analysis.
15. Death due to germs – no body can
save
• Until – penicillin – Alexander Fleming -1928
16. Edward Jenner- vaccine for small pox-
maid infect with cow pox got immune
and not infect by small pox
17. 3. Scientific approach is needed to
provide solution rather than accepting
the norms and opinions
18. The need to transmit knowledge
Merit not belongs to the
person who discover
something, but to the one
who describes it and
convince the world about it
19. • To stand from the peer group
• To make you to stand out from the crowd
• Only the quality and quantity of the research
matter.
• Critical thinking is the key aspect of the
research
Why do we do research
25. • To solve the scientific and non
scientific problem.
• To analyse the process of
phenomenon
• It is vital in decision making [in
scientific and non scientific field]
Need for Research
26. • It provides basis for all
government policies in our
economic system.
• Preparation of budget, allocation
of fund to different section,
solution for social problem.
Need for Research
27. • Research is an important too in
pharmaceuticals [ new drug for
diseases ]
• Research in industry to improve
the quality of products.
• It leads to a new style of life.
Need for Research
28. To categorise
It involves in forming a
concepts . It can be useful
in explaining which things
belong together and how.
29. To describe
• Descriptive research relies on
observation as a mean of collecting data.
• It examine situation.
• it establish norms.
• It can predict what happen again under
the same circumstances.
31. To evaluate
• It involves in making judgement.
• Quality can be measured either in an absolute
sense or on a comparative basis.
32. To compare
Two or more contrasting cases
can be examined to highlight
differences and similarities
between them, leading to a
better understanding of
phenomena.
33. To correlate
The relationship between two
phenomena are investigated to
see whether and how they
influence each other. They are
measured as levels of
association.
34. To predict
• It is done in research when correlation is
already known.
• Prediction of possible future based on strong
relationship between two or more
characteristics or event in the past, then these
should exist in similar circumstances in the
future leading to predictable outcome.
35. To control
• Once we understood the event or situation,
we may find a ways to control it.
• All the technology relies on this ability to
control.
36. • Develop refine and extend the scientific base
of knowledge, which is required for quality
health care .
• Provide a foundation for evidence based
medical practices.
• Help in expansion of knowledge which is
essential for continued growth of health care
profession.
37. • To enhance their professional identity.
• Enhance accuracy of different biomedical
educational and administrative techniques.
• To develop and refine theories and principles
applicable in different health care disciplines.
• To solve problems or answer questions related
to health care .
39. • A research design is a framework for
conducting the research experiments or
projects.
• It describes the steps for acquiring the
information needed to solve research
problem.
40. A research design is used to plan , to show how
all of the major components of the research
project contribute to attempt the main research
problem.
It provides the steps and the plan for
successfully carrying out the study.
41. • It is the strength of any research protocol , a
document that outline the planning of study.
• It increases the chances of gathering all of the
information required to answer a research
problem.
• If the research design is sound and strictly
follows the protocol then the information
gathered during research is useful.
42. • Strict execution of procedures and techniques
specified in the research protocol increases
the chance of results that the research will be
accurate and significant to the other
researcher.
• It is significant in terms of reliability of the
results outcomes.
• It is the firm foundation for the entire
research
43. • It is important because by employing the
research design in the research the other
researchers can be able to reproduce it.
• It makes procedures clearer that are used to
ensure the protection of research matter.
• It helps to maintain the integrity of the
information gathered in the study.
44. • It facilitates the smooth completion of the
various research activities.
• It makes the research as efficient as possible
by establishing maximum information with
minimum expenditure on labor material and
time
45. Advantage of research design
• It minimizes the inaccuracy.
• It eliminates bias and marginal errors.
• It minimises the wastage of resources such as labor ,
materials and time.
• It is helpful in collecting and identifying the research
materials.it is helpful for testing of hypothesis
• It provides an overview to other expert researcher.
• It guides the research activities in the right direction
