Knowledge evidence

  • ways in which own practice informs research
  • processes for engaging others in identification of research needs
  • internal and external factors that potentially impact research and its application: approval frameworks, ethics approval, organisational policies and procedures, resource constraints, National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC), Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care (ACSQHC), health policy frameworks, national health priorities
  • features and formats of research plans
  • research strategies, how they are implemented and their application for different research objectives: qualitative, quantitative
  • evidence-based information – what it is, what it isn’t and how it is developed and used in health care
  • information sources for research in nursing practice: existing research and literature, public and private health organisations, organisations in other industries, professional bodies, nurse practitioners, clinical nurse specialists
  • processes that support analysis of information to interpret the research and how to use them: analysing, comparing, contrasting, challenging, reflecting, distinguishing relevant from irrelevant, drawing multidisciplinary connections, making links between information and its application to the workplace
  • report writing: key inclusions in a research report, how to match report format, structure and content to audience and context, techniques for developing and substantiating positions and arguments in writing, use of referencing, copyright and plagiarism.
