3. Application: the use of scholarship

Characteristics of a scholar - * constant pursuit of new knowledge
* inquiry/curiousity
* Ethical: rights as individuals
Scholarly work vs. Scholarship - Scholarly work is: peer-reviewed, publicly
disseminated, data is collected.
Scholarship: think research presentation
Do all nurses as members of a practice based profession participate in creating
scholarship? -Answer Yes. Signifciant/responsibility for high quality patient care.
Returning to the evidence to develop policies and procedures
Asking question: what is the evidence?
How do you be a scholar? -Answer By actually doing research, reading literature, going
to conferences.
How will you as new nurse use and generate research in the future? -Answer Be
Prepared: policies/procedures
Use CNE, cooperate, Evidence-based practice
,Analyze the following questions:
Define research -Answer A systematic inquiry that uses rigorous methods to answer
questions or solve problems- it is trustworthy
Goal of research -Answer to develop, refine, and expand knowledge
nursing research -Answer is designed to develop evidence about issues important to
various stakeholders
clinical nursing research-study designed to guide nursing practice; usually begins with
questions arising from problems in practice and promotes the well-being and QOL of
patients
basic research-seeks to advance the knowledge base and a discipline
applied research-concerned with finding solutions to problems in nursing practice

What is a paradigm? -Answer A way of looking at natural phenomena that encompasses
a set of philosophical assumptions and that guides one's approach to inquiry.
,What are the research paradigms? - Answer 1. Positivist/post positivist: there is a reality
to be studied
2. Naturalistic (constructivist): reality is not fixed, exists within a context.
Basic Assumptions/ Beliefs of the Positivist/ Post positivist and Naturalistic Paradigms
Answer * There is a reality out there than can be studied and known.
* nature is ordered and regular and an objective reality exists independent of human
observation.
What is the ultimate goal of gaining understanding of the paradigms? -Answer Both seek
to capture the truth about an aspect of the world in which they are interested. Both can
make significant mutually beneficial contributions to nursing.
Empirical evidence of the paradigms -Answer Both gather and analyze evidence
through their senses. Neither researcher are armchair analysts relying on their own
beliefs to generate knowledge.
Paradigms reliance on human cooperation - The answer need for human operation
within a research is vital. The researcher relies on persuading them to participate in
research so as to have the subjects behave and speak candidly.
Ethical constraints - Answer research is guided by ethical principles which may at times
conflict with the inquiry goals.
Fallibility of Research - Answer virtually all studies have limitations. Every question can
be addressed in many different ways, thus there are trade-offs. No single study can ever
definitively answer a research question. Each study adds to a a body of accumulating
evidence.
What are the types of research that align with each of the paradigms? - Answer
Quantitative: positivist
Qualitative: naturalistic
, Selection of appropriate method depends on what? -Answer Nature of the research
question and the researchers worldview and training.
Quantitative Research -Answer collection and analysis of numeric information; scientific
method which is controlled and systematic; empirical evidence
Qualitative research -Answer Understanding of the human experience; collection and
analysis of subjective matter; uses flexible procedures in the field; lived experiences.
Is there one paradigm or multiple in nursing research? - Response In a discipline that
deals with human beings, it is not plausible that only one theory should explain,
describe, predict and change all the disciplines phenomenally.
Paradigm plurality - Response the different perspectives complement knowledge
developed from another.
Pragmatic Approach - Response could stimulate inquiry that complements one
paradigm with another.
Which is the better paradigm? - Answer a measure of the effectiveness of an inquiry is
the problem solving ability or usefulness of those concerned involved.
The tenants of pragmatism - Answer * commitment to what works in practice,
appreciation of plurality, and desire for integrated results.
* a pragmatic approach calls for theory designed and tested in practice.
Pluralist approach - Answer may have greater utilities for nursing because it holds that
research from various paradigms can contribute to the development of knowledge
needed for nursing practice. Mixed methods
