Abstract

A methodologic approach consisting of four phases is proposed for validating nursing diagnoses. The sequential phases include use of the Delphi technique, magnitude estimation scaling, patient observation, and testing nursing interventions through clinical trials. The proposed methodologic approach is a strategy for researching the diagnosis and treatment of human responses to actual or potential health problems--the foundation for nursing practice.

Clinical research 5: quantitative data collection and analysis.

This six-part research series is aimed at clinicians who wish to develop research skills, or who have a particular clinical problem that they think could be addressed through research. The series aims to provide insight into the decisions that researchers make in the course of their work, and to also provide a foundation for decisions that nurses may make in applying the findings of a study to practice in their own Unit or Department. The series emphasises the practical issues encountered when undertaking research in critical care settings; readers are encouraged to source research methodology textbooks for more detailed guidance on specific aspects of the research process. A couple of points: 1. It is artificial to describe research as qualitative or quantitative. Studies often include both dimensions. However, for the purposes of this paper/series, this distinction is drawn for clarity of writing. 2. It is common practice for quantitative studies to refer to study 'subjects' and qualitative studies to refer to study 'participants'. For ease of reading, the latter term will be used throughout this series

Creating a novel structure for nursing research in a cooperative clinical trials group: the Children's Oncology Group experience.

OBJECTIVE: To describe a novel structure designed to integrate nursing research into the Children's Oncology Group (COG). DATA SOURCES: Review articles, reports, and newsleters. CONCLUSION: A new structure using nurse researcher-advanced practice nurse dyads has succesfully integrated nurse researchers into COG scientific activity, as evidenced by the development of concept proposals, companion protocols, nursing objectives in therapeutic trials, and nurse-led publications. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE: This provides a promising method for integrating nurse researchers and increasing multidisciplinary research collaboration in cooperative oncology group.
