education, and practice environment. Such activities may include the following:
a. Identifying clinical problems suitable for nursing research
b. Participating in data collection.
c. Participating in a unit, organization, or community research committee or program.
d. Sharing research activities with others.
e. Conducting research within the guidelines of the individual facility, statutes, and
regulations.
f. Critiquing research for application to practice.
g. Using research findings in the development of policies, procedures, and guidelines for
client care.
Standard VIII. Resource Utilization
The nurse considers factors related to safety, effectiveness, and cost in planning and delivering

Appraisal of evidenced
- Validity of study findings
- Clinical importance of findings
- Precision of estimates of effects
- Associated costs and risks
- Utility in a particular clinical situation

• Naturalistic assumption: The inquirer interacts with those being studied; findings reflect the interaction
Roles of Values in Inquiry
• Positivist assumption: Values are held in check; objectivity is sought
• Naturalistic assumption: Subjective values are inevitable, desirable
1. Basic Research
- pure research
- conducted to develop, test and refine theories and generate new knowledge
- “seek knowledge for knowledge’s seek”
- is concerned with generating new knowledge
Ex. Isaac Newton Law of Gravity and Inertia
2. Applied Research
- is concerned with using knowledge to solve immediate problems
- Directed toward generating new knowledge that can be used in the near future. It is often conducted to seek
solutions to existing problem
- received funding than basic research
Ex. study the various methods of cleft lip and palate surgery and the effectiveness of this methods

3. Experimental research design
Outcomes research- research that focuses on measurable outcomes of interventions with certain patients
populations.
- include a wide range of patients population
