NURS 6015 Nursing Research and Evidence Based Practice

In this discussion, you will develop an understanding of the purpose of theoretical and/or conceptual frameworks that support one’s research.

First, read these article to supplement the assigned readings.

  • Ivey, J. (2015). . Pediatric Nursing, 1(3), 152-153.
  • Heale, R., & Noble, H. (2019). Evidence-Based Nursing, 22(2), 3637.

Place the title of your chosen research proposal topic in the subject line of the discussion. Then discuss the following in your initial discussion post:

  1. Briefly re-introduce, from Module 1, your research question and purpose/significance of your research. If you would like to modify your research question and expand on the significance you may do so.
  2. Choose an article from your literature review that has a theoretical or conceptual framework that you think may be relevant to your research proposal to critique. In your critique:
    • Provide a full APA reference to the article
    • Explain the theoretical or conceptual framework of the study. Discuss whether the framework is based on a conceptual model of nursing or on a model developed by other specialties. In your opinion, is there adequate justification for the framework used in the research within the article?
    • Does the article adequately describe the major features of the theory/ model so that readers can understand the conceptual basis of the study? If not, what information could be added about the framework to support the research?
  3. Explain why this theoretical or conceptual framework is relevant to your research proposal study.
