1.Research: is the systematic, rigorous, logical investigation with the aim of answering questions about nursing

2.Four Fundamental Patterns of Knowledge in Nursing:
1) Empirical Knowledge
2) Aesthetics (Art of nursing) Commented [a1]:
3) Personal Knowing
4) Ethics (Moral knowledge)
3. Evidence-BASED Nursing: The incorporation of evidence from research includes:
The conscious, explicit, & judicious use of the current best available evidence in the care of patients and the delivery of health
care services (CNA,2010)
-Clinical expertise
-Client preferences,
-& other available resources to make decisions about clients
4. Evidence-INFORMED Practice: Is a continuous, interactive process involving:
Acknowledging & considering the myriad factors beyond early definitions of evidence-based practice, this includes:
-local ways of knowing
-Indigenous knowledge
-cultural & religious norms
-clinical judgement
5. Phenomena: Occurrences, circumstances, or facts that are perceptible by the senses.
6. Phenomenology: A qualitative research approach with the aim of describing experience as it is lived through before it is

-emphasis on reducing disparities in healthcare
-focus on health promotion & risk reduction
-increase in severity of illness in inpatient settings
-increased incidence of persons with Co-morbid conditions
-expanding population of older people
-emphasis on provider accountability through focus on quality & cost outcomes
-increased emphasis on interdisciplinary collaborative practice
-use of technology to serve human need
-focus on the needs of Indigenous people
11. Nurses role in research: Consumer
Generator of clinical questions
investigator/participant in research Protector of
research participants
- Ideally, every nurse should be involved in research.
- Nurses should research results to improve their individual practices and keep informed of current evidence-based research
literature.
- Especially studies done in one's own area of clinical expertise
12. 19th-Century Nursing History: Key events:
-Nursing becomes a formal discipline
-Florence Nightingale publishes "Notes on Nursing" in 1860 & introduces the systematic collection & exploration of data to
