1
|
Identify
the issue or problem and justify your choice
|
Identify
nursing practice issues or health problem that interests you to research.
|
|
2
|
Reviewing
the literature
|
Search
for relevant research papers and analyse them to explore what information or
research is available around this identified issue or problem or how the
issue or problem has been approached in the literature.
You can
also observe how the issue is studied or researched during your clinical
placement. You can then use this observation to direct your search for
relevant papers.

|
Identifying
gaps
|
The
literature review provides a snapshot of the current research around the
issue and may reveal gaps. These gaps are aspects of the identified issue or
problem which have not been sufficiently researched or solved. It may also
identify how practices can be altered or carried out differently to improve
patient outcomes. Your chosen research will
aim to fill one or more of these gaps.
|
|
|
Formulating
the research question or
hypothesis
as appropriate
|
A
research question is formulated from the gaps identified in the literature
review with the aim to explore possible solutions and changes in practice.
The research question is a statement of the specific query the researcher
wants to answer to address the research issue or problem.
A
hypothesis is an anticipated outcome of the research.

|
Specifying
the significance
|
Provide
reason/reasons for why your proposed research is desirable in this area and
the clinical relevance. Examine the ways in which it will benefit the target
population and ultimately improve health outcome.

Title of Research
Proposal
• Give your proposal
a title that briefly summarises the topic for your research.
Introduction
(contextualise your research) 300 words
• Identify the
nursing practice issue or problem that you have noted from your clinical nursing
experience.
• Identify concepts
or variables relevant to the issue/problem and offer brief definitions of those
concepts.
• Justify the choice
of your nursing practice issue or health problem (what you saw and why it
requires attention).
Literature Review
700 words
• Perform an
extensive search of relevant databases, using recent literature. Attempt to use
literature related to the topic published in the last 5 years, except seminal
literature.
• Compare and
contrast the different authors’ views and conclusions on the issue/problem
Identify Gaps 150
words
• Identify current
knowledge of the issue/problem and gaps that need to be filled (refer to the
table to see what gaps are and how to identify them).
• Identify the
gap(s) your research aims to fill.
Note:
You should keep a written record of your thoughts on aspects of the methodology
and research outcomes that may inform the next steps of the research process.
Research
Question/ Hypothesis 50 words
• The research
question helps to clarify exactly what it is that you want to find out to
answer the research issue or problem. It should be constructed in such a way
that the aim of the research in improving nursing practice is clear.
• The hypothesis should
be directional and formulated as a statement that makes the research outcome in
improving nursing practice clear.
• Based on the
literature review of the topic of interest, provide the significance of the
chosen nursing practice issue or health problem and applicability in everyday
nursing practice (refer to Table 1 on page 14 to see what significance of
research means and how to justify for it).
Reference List
• List the research
papers you have used using the APA (6th edition) referencing
style.
