Impact Of Nursing Research On Nursing Practice

1. NURSING RESEARCH

The research is on impact of nursing research on nursing practice. There is no doubt that nursing research has impacted a lot of changes in the health care services. The nursing practice has move into evidence based practice which has led to good transformation efforts. The focus is now how to increase efficiency, timeliness of healthcare, increasing effectiveness, safety and how to improve health service delivery system. There has been a remarkable change in translation and improvement science, implementation research and health delivery system science.

Again, there is significant global disparities in cervical cancer incidence and mortality are reported in low resource and middle resource countries, regions and states.

The nurses in this settings needs to be empowered on health promotion, early detection and prevention in order to curtail this

2. QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH

The research work is on the difference on the effect on researcher when quantitative method is used or when qualitative method is used. Employing quantitative method allows the researcher to state research problem in a specific, definable and sets terms, but in quality method the primary data is collected in a flexible, non-structured way that will allow emergence of new information and interpretations.

Quantitative method specify in clear term the independent and dependent variables, while qualitative method interact with the research subjects in their own language. Quantitative method will follow the original set of research goals, test research hypotheses, and high level of reliability of gathered data due to mass surveying is achieved, while qualitative method obtain more realistic and hands-on feel of the world that cannot be experienced in the numeric data and statistical analysis used in

The nurse help in protocol development by helping to gather the information they will need to draw conclusions from the study, since they have valuable knowledge and experience about the patient, and also put into consideration if a patient would be happy to undergo if they decide to participate. Once a protocol is formed the next step is a Patient Information Sheet (PIS) and consent form. Written information is part of the informed consent process but verbal discussion around the study, the responsibilities of participants, the foreseen benefits and potential risks and data protection and on-going sharing of information regarding the study also plays a big part of the informed consent process which is a significant responsibility of the nurse in research. Study approvals by Ethics Committees and NHS R & D and for clinical trials the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), are required before any study can begin to recruit patients, and it is the responsibility of the nurse to complete the form and submit to appropriate authority. Patient recruitment is also often the responsibility of the research nurse, research nurses identify where on a care pathway it is best to approach potential patients for a study or a clinical
