Summary
French nurses submitted 149 research proposals for a national funding initiative. The study found a tendency towards quantitative, interventional research, influenced by the program's guidelines.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Research
- Health Services Research
- Public Health Policy
Background:
- French nursing research historically lacked dedicated funding.
- A national public funding program for nursing research was launched by the Ministry of Health in 2010.
- This initiative aimed to stimulate scientific inquiry among registered nurses.
Purpose of the Study:
- To analyze the engagement of French registered nurses with a Ministry of Health initiative.
- To examine the characteristics of nursing research proposals submitted for national funding.
- To understand the influence of funding guidelines on research direction.
Main Methods:
- Cross-sectional analysis of 149 nursing research projects submitted between 2010-2011.
- Inclusion of all submitted proposals, regardless of funding status.
- Data collected on principal investigators, research teams, and proposal details (methodology, focus, etc.).
Main Results:
- Methodological homogeneity observed in submitted research proposals.
- Strong tendency towards quantitative and interventional study designs.
- Research proposals often focused on exogenous factors in patient care.
- Only 25 out of 149 submitted projects received funding.
Conclusions:
- The funding program's guidelines implicitly influenced the type of nursing research undertaken.
- French nurses aligned with specific scientific positions due to the program's socio-political context.
- The initiative shaped the direction of nursing research in France.

01:30Current Trends in Nursing II
Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...

Current trends in nursing include:
01:29Nursing Assessment
The two sources for collecting information are primary and secondary. After gathering information, interpretation and validation help to complete the data. The purpose of assessment is to establish data with the initial information, to interpret data about the patient's perceived needs and health problems, and to respond to these problems identified.
The nurse collects all aspects of the patient's health in the initial assessment, establishing priorities for ongoing focused assessments and...

01:29Nursing Code of Ethics
The Nursing Code of Ethics sets the ethical benchmark for the profession, and guides nurses in ethical analysis and decision making at the societal, organizational, and clinical levels. The code encompasses showing compassion and respect for the patient, their families, and communities in all circumstances while committing to providing patient-centered care. In addition, the code states that nurses must advocate for the patient by defending a cause or recommendation to protect their rights,...
01:15Nursing Evaluation
The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.

01:30Theoretical Foundations of Nursing Practice
Theories play an essential role in organizing patient care. Theories refer to a proposed or followed belief, policy, or procedure that is the basis for action. Nursing theories are knowledge-based concepts that guide nurses' actions, influence nursing education and practice, and allow nurses to care for their patients.
Theories provide a perspective to assess patients' conditions and organize data and methods. They also assist in analyzing and interpreting information. They represent a...
