Appendix 8 Nursing Research: Definitions and Directions

In order to provide further insight into the need for, philosophy, and scope of nursing research this appendix presents a position statement issued by the Commission on Nursing Research of the American Nurses' Association. It is quoted here in its entirety: 1

Recent years have seen a growing awareness among the public that valuable resources are finite and their use must be carefully considered. In this context, increasing attention is being given to the relative cost of various strategies for utilizing health care resources to meet the present and emerging needs of the nation. Concurrently, nurses are assuming increased decision-making responsibility for the delivery of health care, and they can be expected to continue to assume greater responsibility in the future. Therefore, the timeliness and desirability of identifying directions for nursing research that should receive priority in funding and effort in the 1980s is apparent.

The priorities identified below were developed by the Commission on Nursing Research of the American Nurses' Association, a nine-member group of nurses actively engaged in research whose backgrounds represent considerable diversity in preparation and experience. The priorities represent the consensus of the commissioners, developed through a process of thoughtful discussion and careful deliberation with colleagues.

Accountability to the public for the humane use of knowledge in providing effective and high quality services is the hallmark of a profession. Thus, the preeminent goal of scientific inquiry by nurses is the ongoing development of knowledge for use in the practice of nursing; priorities are stated in that context. Other guiding considerations were the present and anticipated health problems of the population; a historic appreciation of the circumstances in which nursing action has been most beneficial; nursing's philosophical orientation, in which emphasis is on a synthesis of psychosocial and biomedical phenomena to the end of promoting health and effective functioning; and projections regarding the types of decisions nurses will be making in the last decades of the twentieth century. New, unanticipated problems will undoubtedly confront the health care resources of the country; yet it is clear that many of the problems of the future are already manifest today. New knowledge is essential to bring about effective solutions. Nursing research directed to clinical needs can contribute in a significant way to development of those solutions.

• Definition of Nursing Research

Nursing research develops knowledge about health and the promotion of health over the full lifespan, care of persons with health problems and disabilities, and nursing actions to enhance the ability of individuals to respond effectively to actual or potential health problems.

These foci of nursing research complement those of biomedical research, which is primarily concerned with causes and treatments of disease. Advancements in biomedical research have resulted in increased life expectancies, including life expectancies of those with serious injury and those with chronic or terminal disease. These biomedical advances have thus led to growth in the numbers of those who require nursing care to live with health problems, such as the frail elderly, the chronically ill, and the terminally ill.

Research conducted by nurses includes various types of studies in order to derive clinical interventions to assist those who require nursing care. The complexity of nursing research and its broad scope often require scientific underpinning from several disciplines. Hence, nursing research cuts across traditional research lines, and draws its methods from several fields.

• Directions for Research

Priority should be given to nursing research that would generate knowledge to guide practice in:

Promoting health, well-being, and competency for personal care among all age groups;

Preventing health problems throughout the life span that have the potential to reduce productivity and satisfaction;

Decreasing the negative impact of health problems on coping abilities, productivity, and life satisfaction of individuals and families;

Ensuring that the care needs of particularly vulnerable groups are met through appropriate strategies;

Designing and developing health care systems that are cost-effective in meeting the nursing needs of the population.

Examples of research consistent with these priorities include the following:

• Identification of determinants (personal and environmental, including social support networks) of wellness and health functioning in individuals and families, e.g. avoidance of abusive behaviors such as alcoholism and drug use, successful adaptation to chronic illness, and coping with the last days of life.
• Identification of phenomena that negatively influence the course of recovery and that may be alleviated by nursing practice, such as, for example, anorexia, diarrhea, sleep deprivation, deficiencies in nutrients, electrolyte imbalances, and infections.
• Development and testing of care strategies to do the following: Facilitate individuals' ability to adopt and maintain health enhancing behaviors (e.g. alterations in diet and exercise). Enhance patients' ability to manage acute and chronic illness in such a way as to minimize or eliminate the necessity of institutionalization and to maximize well-being. Reduce stressful responses associated with the medical management of patients (e.g. surgical procedures, intrusive examination procedures, or use of extensive monitoring devices). Provide more effective care to high-risk populations (e.g. maternal and child care service to vulnerable mothers and infants, family planning services to young teenagers, services designed to enhance self-care in the chronically ill and the very old). Enhance the care of clients culturally different from the majority (e.g. Black Americans, Mexican-Americans, Native Americans) and clients with special problems (e.g. teenagers, prisoners, and the mentally ill), and the underserved (the elderly, the poor, and the rural).
• Design and assessment, in terms of effectiveness and cost, of models for delivering nursing care strategies found to be effective in clinical studies.

All of the foregoing are directly related to the priority of developing the knowledge and information needed for improvement of the practice of nursing.

While priority should be given to this form of clinical research, there is no intent to discourage other forms of nursing research. These would include such investigations as those utilizing historical and philosophical modes of inquiry, and studies of manpower for nursing education, practice, and research, as well as studies of quality assurance for nursing and those for establishment of criterion measures for practice and education.

Top Books Recommended for Nurses

Notes on Nursing: What it Is, and What it Is Not (Florence Nightingale)

Florence Nightingale is credited with inventing modern nursing, training nurses as healthcare professionals, proving the importance of sanitation and fresh air, and advocating for nursing as a vital profession. Dr. Jenna Liphart Rhoads describes Nightingale’s book, the profession’s first body of knowledge, as “a must-read for any nurse who wishes to truly understand the passion of Florence Nightingale.”

Editor’s note: While Nightingale’s influence and contributions to modern medicine are undeniable, we acknowledge and believe it is important that readers understand other aspects of her legacy, such as Nightingale’s role in colonialism .

The Shift: One Nurse, Twelve Hours, Four Patients’ Lives (Theresa Brown)

Author Theresa Brown is a nurse and columnist for The New York Times. Here, she describes a twelve-hour shift in a teaching hospital’s oncology ward. While the book covers one nurse’s duties in just twelve hours, it also provides broader insights into the nursing profession , the challenges and rewards of nursing, and how healthcare and major hospitals function. This is one of the best nursing books to read for healthcare professionals and laypeople alike.

First Year Nurse: Wisdom, Warnings, and What I Wish I’d Known My First 100 Days on the Job (Kaplan Nursing)

Best known for its test preparation services, Kaplan also publishes books for professionals. This collection of advice for beginner nurses includes sections on topics such as organization, dealing with challenging patients, and the value of mentors. Each section features short quotes and advice from seasoned nurses. One of the best books for nursing students, it may hold less value for experienced nurses.

The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks (Rebecca Skloot)

This bestseller describes how researchers at a free clinic found extraordinary properties in cancer cells from a Black patient named Henrietta Lacks. Researchers and medical establishments used these cells without notifying or compensating Lacks or her estate. This book delves into the historical context and ethical issues related to this event.

Rhoads notes that this is “an excellent book for nurses or nursing students who wish to think deeply about the ethical implications of science, health care, and humanity.”

Nursing School Thrive Guide (Maureen Osuna)

This is one of the best books for nursing students, this volume explores study and learning habits, getting and staying organized, managing coursework, maximizing the value of study groups, and getting the most out of clinical rotations. Much of the material covers general study and organization habits, so students who have already attended college may benefit most from the book’s nursing-specific sections.

Your First Year as a Nurse (Donna Cardillo, Ph.D.)

The first year at any profession presents challenges and opportunities. This book is full of insights into choosing a specialty, working as part of a healthcare team, and avoiding burnout. Rhoads recommends it as “a great read for nursing students or new nurses to help get past some of the stumbling blocks that nurses experience early in their practice.”

Critical Care: A New Nurse Faces Death, Life, and Everything in Between (Theresa Brown)

This book describes the author’s experiences as a nurse in an oncology ward. Nursing students, those considering a career in oncology nursing , and individuals with a loved one with cancer can also benefit from this engaging look at healthcare’s human side.

A Daybook for Beginning Nurses (Donna Cardillo)

Nurse and columnist Donna Cardillo offers advice for new nurses in this daybook. Organized into 365 separate segments, it includes prompts and quotes for reflective writing to help nurses learn more from their experiences and manage stress.

The Language of Kindness: A Nurse’s Story (Christie Watson)

Detailing the author’s career as a nurse in British hospitals, this memoir is one of the best nursing books to stress the importance of kindness in healthcare and the difference that compassionate nursing can make. The New York Times Book Review, The Sunday Times, The Guardian, and The New Yorker praised Watson’s memoir for its depth of humanity and storytelling.

I Wasn’t Strong Like This When I Started Out: True Stories of Becoming a Nurse (ed. Lee Gutkind)

Lee Gutkind interviewed nurses of all kinds to collect stories of their most intense professional experiences. These stories include ethical dilemmas, first births in the maternity ward, facing a patient’s death, and moments of crisis and doubt, reflecting each nurse’s resiliency and passion.

Every Patient Tells a Story: Medical Mysteries and the Art of Diagnosis (Lisa Sanders)

Lisa Sanders’ New York Times column Diagnosis was a major inspiration for the television drama “House M.D.” Her book explores some of the most puzzling cases in medical literature and how they were solved. While it is not specifically about nursing, the book’s insights make it one of the best books for nursing students interested in diagnostics.

Oh Sh*t I Almost Killed You, A Little Book of Big Things Nursing School Forgot to Teach You (CCRN Sonja M. Schwartzbach, BSN, RN)

Using a lively and engaging style, this book surveys the things nurses need to know that may not be included in clinical textbooks. Prospective nurses can gain insight into the profession, while seasoned nurses may enjoy this book like a chat with an experienced colleague.

Charge nurse Sandra Crawley praises this nursing book for its ability to “remind us that we are human and that humor is the best medicine.”

RNotes®: Nurse’s Clinical Pocket Guide (Ehren Myers)

This quick reference guide is one of the best nursing books for students and new graduates alike, offering helpful illustrations on procedures such as bladder irrigation or opening airways, lists of medicine interactions, and laboratory test result ranges. The book covers topics which have appeared on the NCLEX-RN examination. Its printed format is designed to fit into scrubs pockets.

Chicken Soup for the Nurse’s Soul: Stories to Celebrate, Honor and Inspire the Nursing Profession (Jack Canfield)

This bestselling title features heartwarming stories about the nursing profession, reminding readers of the difference that nurses can make. One of the best nursing books for inspiration, Crumpton describes it as “a great book to check out if you are short on time because the stories are short and sweet.”

Nursing Mnemonics: 108 Memory Tricks to Demolish Nursing School (John Haws)

Mnemonics, or memory tricks, are one of the easiest ways to remember complex lists. This collection is ideal for students or practicing nurses who need to memorize lists such as the causes of pancreatitis, symptoms of shock, types of anemia, or medication classes for irritable bowel disorder.

What Minnesota Voters Think of Tim Walz

The governor succeeded in projecting an avuncular image. But not all voters are convinced that he rose above partisanship or united the state.

• Share full article

Harris and Walz Hold First Campaign Rally Together

Vice president kamala harris and her newly announced running mate, gov. tim walz of minnesota, went on the attack against the trump-vance republican ticket during a raucous rally in philadelphia..

“To his former high school students, he was Mr. Walz. And to his former high school football players, he was Coach. And in 91 days, the nation will know Coach Walz by another name: Vice President of the United States.” “Thank you, Madam Vice President, for the trust you put in me, but maybe more so, thank you for bringing back the joy. Now, Donald Trump sees the world a little differently than us. First of all, he doesn’t know the first thing about service. He doesn’t have time for it because he’s too busy serving himself. Like all regular people I grew up with in the heartland, JD [Vance] studied at Yale, had his career funded by Silicon Valley billionaires, and then wrote a best seller trashing that community. Come on. That’s not what middle America is. And I got to tell you, I can’t wait to debate the guy.”

By Robb Murray Christina Capecchi Dan Simmons Jeff Ernst and Richard Fausset

Robb Murray, Christina Capecchi, Dan Simmons and Jeff Ernst reported from throughout Minnesota. Richard Fausset contributed from Atlanta.

If Gov. Tim Walz has achieved anything after 18 years in public office, it has been to convince many of his fellow Minnesotans that he is decidedly not weird.

On Tuesday, Annakeiko Reichel-Frink, a teacher from Mankato, Minn., called Mr. Walz “a very normal human being.” Maria Bevacqua, a college professor from the same small city, where Mr. Walz once taught at the high school, described him as “somebody you would bump into at the grocery store.” Adam Lueth, a college student who is leaning toward the Republican ticket, said that Mr. Walz, a Democrat, comes across as “a genuine guy.”

Mr. Walz was thrust into the national spotlight on Tuesday when Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee, announced that he would be her running mate. The second-term governor seemed to rocket to the top of the list after he used one word quite effectively against Donald Trump, the Republican candidate: He was simply being “weird.”

Mr. Walz has succeeded in projecting an avuncular, affable, relentlessly normcore image to Minnesotans. But on Tuesday, in interviews across the state, voters also seemed less than convinced that Governor Walz had succeeded in rising above partisanship, or in uniting the state as “One Minnesota,” as his 2018 campaign slogan put it.

That perceived lack of unity may partially be the result of Mr. Walz’s political formula, which has tended to serve up dollops of Minnesota nice over an ambitious progressive policy agenda, one that has its roots in Minnesota politicians like Hubert Humphrey or Walter Mondale.

But it may also be the case that a nice-guy candidate — even one whom voters could imagine having a beer with — has limited power to charm nowadays, when hot tempers and invective seem to be the rule.
