Instructions: Select a Research Topic: Choose a specific, clinically relevant topic in nursing practice. Ensure the topic is narrow enough to be thoroughly explored within the word limit. Theory: Select an appropriate theory and explain why the theory was selected and how it relates to the topic chosen. Literature Review: Conduct a literature review using at least five peer-reviewed articles published within the last five to seven years. Summarize the key findings and identify gaps in the existing research. Research Design: Describe the research design you would employ to address the identified gap in the literature. Justify your choice of design (e.g., quantitative, qualitative) and explain how it aligns with your research question. Data Collection: Detail the methods you would use to collect data. Include the sampling strategy, data collection instruments, and any ethical considerations related to data collection. Data Analysis: Discuss the analytical techniques you would use to interpret the data. Since you have not yet taken NGR 6930: Advanced Statistics for the DNP, basic (and limited) explanation will be adequate for this section. Ethical Considerations: Address the ethical implications of your research. Discuss issues such as informed consent, confidentiality, and potential risks to participants. Explain how you would mitigate these risks. Implications for Practice: Discuss the potential implications of your research for nursing practice. How might the findings inform clinical decision-making, policy, or education? Conclusion: Summarize the key points of your assignment and reflect on the importance of research methods in advancing nursing practice.
