Module Description

In this week the student will begin the long-term process of the search for knowledge. The desire to integrate practice behaviors into practice is sound and reasonable; however, the process is more complex than it sounds. Each professional will develop a process for searching for and assessing evidence and value based practice theory and scientific discover. However there are some key components of the process that should be consistent to all researchers. In this week the student will begin developing personal research habits and discover vital components to the process.

Objectives

  1. Investigate processes for finding and evaluating research.
  2. Construct a personal research process that integrates sound theoretical and scientific results.     

Goals Alignment

  1. University Mission Goals- Goals 1, 2, & 3
  2. Program Goals- 1, 2, & 3
  3. Course Goals- 1, 2, & 3

Professional Standards

  1. Integrate nursing science with knowledge from ethics, the biophysical, psychosocial, analytical, and organizational sciences as the basis for the highest level of nursing practice.
  2. Enhanced knowledge to improve nursing practice and patient outcomes.
  3. Enhanced research skills to strengthen practice and health care delivery.

2. Read the required chapter(s) of the textbook and any additional recommended resources. Some answers may require you to do additional research on the Internet or in other reference sources. Choose your sources carefully.

3. Consider the discussion and the any insights you gained from it.

4. Create your Assignment submission and be sure to cite your sources, use APA style as required, check your spelling.

Assignment:

Researching Theory and Scientific Knowledge - Write a 1500-1700 word essay addressing each of the following points/questions. Support your ideas with at least three (3) scholarly citations in your essay. Use strict APA guidelines to format the paper. The cover page and reference page do not count towards the minimum word amount and an abstract and table of contents are not necessary and if included are not part of the overall word count.

Using the three methods you identified in the discussion for this week, develop a specific, detailed step-by-step process you will use to find knowledge available in the body of knowledge for the industry. Describe where and how you will find the information. Discuss what you found in the search. Explain how you will determine if the research you find is appropriate or inappropriate to use in developing a practice implementation model.
