Develop a research proposal to conduct a nursing study.
1 - Introduction: Include a thesis statement, background of the issue, purpose, and significance to nursing (education, administration, and clinical practice). This section should include current statistics to support your topic.
2 - State the PICOT and provide evidence-based rationale from textbooks, scholarly journal articles, and vetted websites for each element using resources less than five years old.
P = Patient, Population, or Problem: Describe the proposed sample, steps you will use to recruit the sample, and a summary of the informed consent.
I = Intervention or Interest: Describe the type of research design, data collection method (tool or procedure), and context of the interventions.
C = Comparison Intervention or Current Practice: Detail the implementation strategies, sample inclusion criteria, variables, and data analysis plan.
O = Outcome(s) Desired: Explain your hypothesis and how your study will impact patient care, address a workplace problem, or improve patient outcomes on your unit.
T=Time to Achieve Outcome: Identify the estimated time required to complete the study and determine if the intervention impacted patient care outcomes.
3 - Review of Literature: Detail your topic's current research and best-practice findings by using three to four academic journal articles, textbooks, and Uniform Resource Locators (URLs). Link the problem with the evidence-based practice references and whether you discovered support for a change or continuing current practices
4 - Conclusions: How will you disseminate your research findings? What is the value of your study's information for nursing, and what contributions to better practice outcomes do you expect?
