Discussion Question
In this course, each of you
will be developing a research proposal. Our focus this week is to identify a
problem specific to your role option( Nurse Practitioner) that is amenable to
an innovative solution.
Based on your specialty role
option (Nurse Practitioner), identify a potential problem (topic) that you
would like to investigate through nursing research. Begin by reading the
American Association of Colleges of Nursing’s (AACN) position statement on
nursing research (http://www.aacn.nche.edu/publications/position/nursing-research).
Next explore South’s Online
Library and conduct a search to locate a minimum of three nursing research
articles that have addressed the problem you have identified. The literature
may not be older than 5 years. After reading the literature respond to the
following:
1.
Note your role specialization
and briefly describe the problem you are interested in researching and why this
is of interest to you.
2.
Discuss your library search
strategies and briefly summarize the literature you reviewed. Focus your
discussion on the “problem” and how the literature you identified provides
evidence of the existence of the problem.
3.
Include in your discussion a
potential innovation that you might consider as a solution to the problem
identified.
4.
Include citations/references
in APA style format, using citations where appropriate.
