Topic 1 – An Overview
What is research?Where does knowledge come
from?Language of research
Types of researchApplication to practice
Document Title (Editable via ‘Slide Master’) | Page 3
What is Research?“Systematic process using both inductive and deductive reasoning to confirm and refine existing knowledge and to build new knowledge” (Borbasi, Jackson & Langford, 2004, pp.68)

Where does knowledge come from?
• Over the years, knowledge has been gained from many sources
• Some reliable• Some not so reliable and bring risk
Document Title (Editable via ‘Slide Master’) | Page 5
Sources of Knowledge
Tradition and Custom- Passed on from generation to generation- Reflects our culture and heritage
For example: As nurses we provide daily linen changes and bathing. Why?We traditionally take patients’ obs each shift. Why?
Document Title (Editable via ‘Slide Master’) | Page 6
Sources of Knowledge
Authority- Reliance on individuals as ‘experts’- Information obtained from text books and
perhaps teachers?
How can you ensure this information is correct?
Document Title (Editable via ‘Slide Master’) | Page 7
Sources of Knowledge
Trial and Error- Uses successive numbers of alternative
solutions.- Often used when we have no reference to
draw upon.
What are the weaknesses of this approach?
Document Title (Editable via ‘Slide Master’) | Page 8
Sources of Knowledge
Personal Experience- First-hand knowledge- Often hard to translate or explain to others
who have no similar experience.

Sources of Knowledge
Intuition- ‘hunch’ or ‘gut feeling’- Closely tied to personal experience- Perceptual awareness
Document Title (Editable via ‘Slide Master’) | Page 10
Sources of KnowledgeReasoning- Use of logical thought pattern- Inductive reasoning: starts with facts and builds a larger picture- Deductive reasoning: starts with the big picture and breaks down into smaller parts.
Document Title (Editable via ‘Slide Master’) | Page 11
Why do we need to do it?– Critical appraisal– Provide quality care based on facts– Legal accountability for practice– Latest & best practice to improve outcomes– Link theory, education & practice – Cost effective care – Improve decision making, prioritising & organising nursing care

Evolution of nursing research
1854 Florence Nightingaleimplementing sanitary reforms – considered to be the first nursing study.
Slow start – next research 1940’s!60’s and 70’s advance degrees increased a push for PhD1970’s two new nursing journals – research explosion!1980’s in Aust and NZ – Nursing moved into tertiary education sector

The Language of Research
• Research has its own language• Some common terms are explained
in the following slides
Document Title (Editable via ‘Slide Master’) | Page 15
The Language of Research
Efficacy- The ability of an intervention to produce
beneficial results that it is intended to deliver within a research study.www.bidmc.org/YourHealth/HealthResearchJournals.aspx
Abstract- A brief, comprehensive summary of a study.(Elliott & Burr, 2000, pp.574)
Document Title (Editable via ‘Slide Master’) | Page 16
The Language of Research
Validity- Is the research providing answers to the
research questions for which is was undertaken?
- If so, is it providing these answers using appropriate methods and procedures?
(Kumar, 1996, pp.137)
Document Title (Editable via ‘Slide Master’) | Page 17
The Language of Research
Reliability- Is the research tool reliable, i.e. consistent,
stable, predictable and accurate?(Kumar, 1996, p.140)
Bias- A distortion in the data analysis results.(Elliott & Burr, 2000, pp. 575)
Document Title (Editable via ‘Slide Master’) | Page 18
The Language of Research
Dissemination- The communication of research findings. E.g.
publication of research papers, presentations at conferences etc.
Hypothesis- A predication about the relationship between
two or more variables.
Variable- A defined concept(Elliott & Burr, 2000, pp. 575)
Document Title (Editable via ‘Slide Master’) | Page 19
The Language of Research
• Methodology
• Control
• Randomisation
Document Title (Editable via ‘Slide Master’) | Page 20
Types of Research
There are three main types of research• Quantitative – objective, about
numbers• Qualitative – subjective, about
feelings and experiences• Mixed Method – a mixture of both the
above
• Each type has varying methods
Document Title (Editable via ‘Slide Master’) | Page 21
Types of Research
Quantitative- A systematic process used to gather and
statistically analyse information that has been measured by an instrument and converted into numerical data.
- Considered by many to be the truest form of research
Qualitative- Reality is subjective, multifaceted rather than a
single, fixed, objective, actuality.- Investigates feelings and experiences
Document Title (Editable via ‘Slide Master’) | Page 22
Mixed Method Research
• Combination of quantitative and qualitative date collection methods
• Seeks to build on the strengths and weakness of both methods
• Gaining in popularity• It’s use is widely debated
(Andrew S, and Halcomb E 2008 “Mixed Method Research” in Borbasi S, Jackson D and Langford R Navigating the Maze of Nursing Research 2e. Mosby Elsevier)
Document Title (Editable via ‘Slide Master’) | Page 23
What is Evidence Based Practice?• Basing (in the case of nursing)
clinical practice, on solid evidence found through a deliberate collection of research on any given topic.
• Policy and procedure should be based on evidence gained through reliable and valid research, not on trial and error, cultural practice or any other method through which knowledge is gained.
Document Title (Editable via ‘Slide Master’) | Page 24
Evidenced Based Practice - EBP
- Applying the most current research based evidence in making decisions about patient care.
- Conscientious integration of best research, clinical expertise, patient values, preferences and needs to provide quality, cost effective health care.
- Allows a streamlined and structured way of keeping abreast of new research developments without the overload.

Evidenced Based Practice - EBP
• Clinical Expertise• Expert Panels,
Leaders
Best available Evidence
Patient preferences & values
Evidence Based Clinical Decision Making
= Practice
Document Title (Editable via ‘Slide Master’) | Page 26
Evidence Based Practice - EBP
Benefits of EBPPatients & consumersNursesHealth care organisationsCommunity
Provide care that is supported by facts, than myths, rituals or habitsLegally accountable for practice
Document Title (Editable via ‘Slide Master’) | Page 27
Evidence Based Practice
• There are centres that collect, collaborate and disseminate research findings
• The task is too large for an individual on many topics
• Facilities then adopt EBP in to policy and procedure
• Can take many years from research to changing practice
Document Title (Editable via ‘Slide Master’) | Page 28
Evidence Based Practice - EBP
Five steps to EBP1. Ask the question2. Collect best & relevant evidence3. Critically appraise the evidence4. Integrate that evidence with clinical
expertise, patient values & preferences in making change or decisions
5. Evaluate the decisions or change
Melnyk & Fineout-Overholt, 2005, pg 9

How is research utilised in practice
Research based policy, procedure and clinical practice guidelines
Barriers to implementation of EBPResistance to changeInsufficient time and resources to implement change to practiceLack of supportive infrastructureLack of research skills – inability to critique

Research and the EN
“a professional nurse interprets, evaluates and determines the credibility of research findings …..(in order to) promote the integration of research and clinical practice”.
(Beanland & Scneider, 2000, pp.7)
Document Title (Editable via ‘Slide Master’) | Page 32
Research and the EN
• All nurses must base their practice on the best available evidence
• ANMC competencies refer to practice based on evidence
• Requirement of annual PD
