Nursing as a profession has been developed very rapidly, so nursing research has become a major force in the nursing profession to change practice, education, and health policy. Through the nursing research, nurses can refine the existing knowledge, generate new knowledge, and provide nursing clients with evidence-based practice. By doing so, it can promote high quality, cost-effective health care outcomes for patients and families, and other nursing clients. Therefore, It is critically important that all nurses should have an understanding of research and its link to the development of evidence-based practice for nursing.
In this course, the team has shared the basic knowledge, skills, and the experience on nursing research with students. The students will learn how to conduct a nursing research step-by-step. At the end of the course, students will finish one research proposal under the help of the team. This proposal might be implemented in the near future in the realistic world by students.
