Nursing Research in the
Reflect back over the term. What one thing did you learn in the course that you were able to apply in your work during the term? What one thing are you most looking forward to applying to your career in the future. What future trends may influence how nurses use evidence to improve the quality of patient care?
-A reminder of the course objectives may help you reflect on this term:
-Explain the purpose of nursing research in an evidence-based practice environment.
-Differentiate qualitative and quantitative research in terms of philosophy, methodology, and outcome.
-Critically analyze various types of research methods, designs, and evidence-based practice for scientific merit.
-Explore ethical principles as they relate to research and evidence-based practice.
**Part of My Reflection, I would like to expand on the bullet points above.
I would like to lead withI learned a great deal about evidence-based practice, more than I ever learned as an undergraduate nursing student. Being a nurse practitioner student with a focus in Family Nursing. I want to one day become a Women ‘s Health Nurse Practitioner and eventually own m own practice. I plan to take the research skills I’ve learned this term and incorporate them into my education and clinical practice. The research topic I studied focused on the healthcare of pregnant women with the pre-existing hypertension and the prevention of preeclampsia during pregnancy.
