The Scientific Method

66.7K
Research is what makes the difference between facts and opinions. Facts are observable realities, and opinions are personal judgments, conclusions, or attitudes that may or may not be accurate. In the scientific community, facts can be established only using evidence collected through empirical research.

The Scientific Method in Nursing Process

19.1K
The scientific method provides the foundation for any research. It is the most reliable and objective of all forms of gaining knowledge and guides in applying research-based evidence in practice and conducting future research.
When using research findings to change practice, one must understand the process used to guide a study. The scientific method is a systematic, step-by-step process that supports the data's validity, reliability, and generalizability. As a result, findings can be...

Ethics in Research

26.1K
Today, scientists agree that good research is ethical in nature and is guided by a basic respect for human dignity and safety. However, this has not always been the case. Modern researchers must demonstrate that the research they perform is ethically sound.

Empathy02:34

Empathy

10.2K
Some researchers suggest that altruism operates on empathy. Empathy is the capacity to understand another person’s perspective, to feel what he or she feels.

Data Collection by Experiments01:13

Data Collection by Experiments

27.9K
Data collection is a systematic method of obtaining, observing, measuring, and analyzing accurate information. An experimental study is a standard method of data collection that involves the manipulation of the samples by applying some form of treatment prior to data collection. It refers to manipulating one variable to determine its changes on another variable. The sample subjected to treatment is known as “experimental units.”
An example of the experimental method is a public...

Observational Studies01:11

Observational Studies

11.3K
Observational studies are a type of analytical study where researchers observe events without any interventions. In other words, the researcher does not influence the response variable or the experiment's outcome.
There are three types of observational studies – Prospective, retrospective, and cross-sectional.
Prospective Study
Prospective studies, also known as longitudinal or cohort studies, are carried out by collecting future data from groups sharing similar characteristics. One...

Area of Science:

  • Social Sciences
  • Communication Studies
  • Healthcare Education

Background:

  • Narratives with visual and auditory elements reveal cultural behaviors in professional settings.
  • Discourse analysis (DA) explicates meanings linking culture and behavior.
  • Understanding caring and compassion is crucial in healthcare and social care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a discourse analysis (DA) instrument and methodology.
  • To study the expression of caring and compassion in diverse media.
  • To facilitate cross-cultural and multi-modal research on complex human issues.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic, multi-modal data analysis using a developed DA instrument.
  • Collaborative analysis by international researchers with diverse backgrounds.
  • Examination of both 'objectivist' and 'subjectivist' accounts of caring and compassion.

Main Results:

  • The DA instrument facilitated systematic analysis across different media and researchers.
  • DA effectively captured the complexities of caring and compassion in healthcare and social care contexts.
  • The method allowed for the acknowledgment of differences while fostering common understanding.

Conclusions:

  • The developed DA instrument and method can be utilized for educating nurses on care and compassion.
  • This approach is adaptable for other nurse researchers investigating complex human phenomena.
  • Discourse analysis provides a robust framework for exploring nuanced aspects of professional practice.
