Research in nursing


Dear all nurses, I hope all of you know the importance of the research and I hope some of you are taking part in research and some of you are doing the research as well. But sometimes we might think that what the real benefit about this research matter, well I came to know about the some good benefits about the nursing research which I will be more than happy to be share with all you people. Nursing research is the base for growth and development in the nursing faculty. Except that also nursing research is used for some other factors as well which I will be point it out:
1. Practitioners of all professions need a base of knowledge and research provides the knowledge and verifies and tests the knowledge.
2. Research is used to develop, refine and extend the scientific bases of knowledge fundamental to the practice of nursing

3. This expansion of knowledge is essential for the continued growth of the nursing profession which can be governed by research only.
4. Research provides nurses equipped with documented information and has a proof for all the actions being taken.
5. Nursing research also is helping to define the parameters of nursing. Nursing is only one of the several professions involved in the delivery of health care which currently is rather vaguely defined.
6. Research is the base for the lowering the cost of the health care service.
7. Nurses are increasingly focusing their research endeavors on the effectiveness of nursing interventions and activities foe various groups of clients.
8. Research findings help to eliminate nursing actions that have no effect on the achievement of desired client outcomes
9. Research finding help nurses to identify the nursing care practice than make a difference in the health care status of clients and tare cost effective.
10. Nursing research is essential if nurses are to understand the varied dimensions of their profession
11. Research enables nurses to:
i. Describe the characteristics of a particular nursing situation about which little is known
ii. Explain phenomena that must be considered in planning nursing care
iii. Predict the probable outcomes of certain nursing decisions made in relation to client care
iv. Control the occurrence of undesired client outcomes

So I can hope, all nurses will be cleared enough to know the value of need of research and can hope that the nurses that are not engaged in nursing would get engaged in research.
