TASK 1
In this, evidence-based practice aims to provide high-quality care to individual
patients. Thus, evidence-based practice has various range of meanings. Thus, the
purpose of evidence-based practice is as-The main motive is to provide evidence-
based practice in terms to deliver the high-quality are toto individual patients and
patient (Lee, Brain, and Martin, 2017). To achieve it, nurses need to be carefully
evaluate their ideas and experience and must apply all kind of nursing practices.
Under this, it has been also suggested that professionals must put their
consideration over the dynamic interaction of belief and value system that affects
the experience of patients in health care. In contemporary healthcare settings, the
evidence is continually changing. The new research and technologies emerge, old
ideas and opinions and are subject to scrutiny. In addition to this, evidence-based
practice is continually changing and developing. In this, they must learn to adopt
the process of evidence based practice. With the help of being, open and
transparent, clinical decision-making can be justified and accountability
demonstrated effectively.
 Basic research, as described by traditional
definitions, is conducted to An example of applied research would be a study
to examine the efficacy of a nursing intervention to help people cope with
grief. Basic research is useful for identifying general principles of human
behavior and physiologic processes; applied research is used to show how
these principles can be used to nursing problems. and a discipline's base of
knowledge or to create or refine a theory, For example, a researcher might
do an in-depth study to better understand natural grief processes without
explicitly considering nursing applications. Applied research is concerned
with finding solutions to issues that already exist. The outcomes of basic

research often propose clinical applications, and the findings of applied
research may generate problems for basic research in nursing.
*Identification, description, exploration, explanation, prediction, and control are
some of the specific goals of nursing research. Nurse researchers address many
types of questions within each aim; certain questions are more accessible to
qualitative than quantitative investigation, and vice versa.
*To produce a unique body of knowledge that is important to the profession of
nursing, researchers must use the most effective research approaches. Nursing's
"unique point of vision and social mandate" must be included in this corpus of
knowledge. Nursing research is needed to develop information about human
responses and the optimal interventions to promote health, prevent illness, and treat
illness, and how toal with illness.
The main objective of nursing research
-The goal of nursing research is to find new ways to help people.
-Answer relevant questions or solve relevant issues, to the field of nursing a
distinction between fundamental and applied research is sometimes established.
o Many nurses believe that nursing research should focus on collecting
knowledge that may be immediately applied in clinical practice, a concept
known as applied or practical research. Nursing research, according to
another viewpoint, should encompass studies of nursing education, nursing
administration, health services, nurses' traits and functions, as well as
clinical circumstances. As a result, nursing knowledge must be generated
through education, practice, and service. To encourage excellence in nursing
education, more research is needed to develop teaching-learning
methodologies. As a result, several nurse researchers are working to advance
nursing education science such that the teaching-learning methodologies
employed are evidence-based. Nurse administrators take part in studies to
improve nurse leadership and the delivery of high-quality, low-cost patient
care. Studies of health services and nursing responsibilities are critical to the
nursing profession's and the healthcare system's excellent results. As a
result, the body of knowledge developed via nursing research serves as a
scientific foundation for all aspects of nursing and incorporates the
profession's vision and social purpose.

o In orTo his or her scientific questions and ideas into a workable technique, a
modern researcher must be resourceful and inventive. He or she must also
gain a thorough understanding of the relevant field's measurement tools and
methodologies. He or she must be precise and honest when interpreting and
presenting data. Misinterpretation or even falsification of data will not only
cause future research to be skewed and invalidated, but it will also cause
future research to be skewed. (Stefanadis, Christodoulosvol, et all, 2006).
Future researchers' work will be hampered, but patients will be denied the
necessary diagnosis and treatment.
Although a statistician is not required, he or she must be familiar with basic
mathematical and statistical principles in ortop and interpret results to a certain
extent, as well as critically examine the findings of other works.
Given that current research frequently necessitates the participation of more than
one individual, cultivating a team spirit and understanding that each protocol must
be implemented cooperatively is critical to achieving an optimal and relevant
result. Administrative experience is also a plus. Apart from that, the capacity to
perform successful research is dependent on a combination of personal
characteristics, talents, and abilities. A fraction of these attributes can be passed
down the generations, while the rest must be earned via constant, careful, and hard
labor.
All of these qualities may be adequate for a healthealthcarentist to excel as a
researcher. However, in ortome a great researcher, one must have a special gift that
cannot be taught or learnlearned rather is innate. (polit, D.F. and ,Beck, C.T.

-The significance of performing lookup and publishing is emphasized in all sides
of educational endeavor; this is why the foremost aim of lookup is to add to the
physique of expertise via increasing on whis already known. However, such data
can solely be beneficial if it is shared with different human beings or academics.
Journal articles, theses, dissertations, and books are used to unfold this knowledge.
Researchers need to observe appropriate techniques in conducting and sharing their
lookup findings in all factors of tutorial writing. This necessitates conducting the
workout in a sound and ethical manner, in acbyted moral ideas.
 Because researchers are professionals, research ethics, as a subset of applied
ethics, has well-defined rules and principles that govern their behavior.
Research ethics is critical in our day-to-day research endeavors, requiring
that researchers maintain the dignity of their subjects and disclose their
findings in a promptlysearch ethics theories:
We briefly address the "bad apple theory" and the "stressful or flawed environment
theory" in ortoer understand why researchers engage in research misconduct. The
saying "The rotten apple injures its neighbors" is taken from a 14th 14th-centuryn
proverb "The rotten apple injures its neighbors." The "bad apple theory," which
stresses the idea that mold from one apple can spread and infect the os, is derived
from this saying. This is why a terrible person is equated to a rotten fruit in a
bunch. According to the "bad apple idea," the vast majority of researchers are
ethically upright, with only a few exceptions.
On the other side, the "stressful or imperfect environment theory" states that an
institution has different pressures, incentives, and career goals that push
individuals or researchers to break from their norms and engage in wrongdoing.
This is obvious even at the University of Nairobi, where the renowned slogan

"publishes or perishes" is a crucial indicator of academic staff members' upward
professional mobility.
As a result, many professors will work hard to complete their doctoral theses and
publish in peer-reviewed journals in orto the requirements for advancement to
higher levels. To accomplish this duty, lecturers will collaborate with their
colleagues or students to write academic articles. Postgraduate students, on the
other hand, will collaborate with experienced academics to publish the necessary
articles in orto the requirements for earning their master's or doctoral degrees; this
could, without a doubt, lead to some type of study misconduct.
Norms help researchers achieve their goals, which include information sharing,
reporting or telling the truth, and finally, the need to correct mistakes. The
development and approval of a research proposal is the first stage in the process,
which leads to the actual research.
Study of research a researcher must choose the most acceptable methodology for
the job.
techniques of gathering data, presenting research findings, and interpreting them in
a way that leads to the display of data in a logical order After that, the data is
examined It is possible that if this is not observed, scientific misconduct will occur,
And it is within this context that we explore ethical concerns relating research,
with a particular focus on those relating to the research itself, research subjects,
and the research method.
A researcher must be cautious about disclosing his or her research findings if they
may jeopardize his or her sponsor's good working relationships. This is obvious if
the information concentrates on the organization's policies and could reveal
sensitive information about the people or the organization. This necessitates
effective collaboration with other scholars while also respecting the researchers'
intellectual property rights. If this is not followed to the letter, it may result in
revolt or even demonstrations.
Research Ethics and Integrity:
1-It is your obligation to determine whether your study is subject to any restrictions
or legal requirements.
If you or your counsel has any concerns about the integrity of your plan, don't
move forward until the concerns are addressed.

2-Ethical principles, codes of practice, and protocols are now in place in many
organizations.
Make sure you're aware of any such guidelines and that you follow them.
3-Always strive for your participants' informed consent. Also, make sure your
participants have the same notion of "informed consent" as you do. It's important
to remember that they shouldn't be expected to sign a protocol form until they've
read it and thought about the ramifications.
The most prominent ethics that should characterize scientific research:
1-honesty and integrity:
It is one of the most important ethics of scientific research and the qualities that the
researcher must possess, as the scientific researcher is supposed to refer to the
source of any information presented in his study, and it is also supposed to publish
the realistic results reached by the scientific study, so he does not change or falsify
any of the results affected by his inclinations Or his opinion or anything else
2-Meticulous and Organized Research Work:
During his research work, the scientific researcher should avoid randomness, haste,
or make major mistakes. Rather, he is supposed to do his work with care, calmness
and organization, and to verify the information and results of his research.
Respecting the efforts and intellectual property of others:
The scientific researcher must not impersonate any person, and not quote his
information or data and present it as his personal work, as this violates the
scientific integrity and is considered plagiarism.
3-Ethical handling of the study sample:
The members of the study sample have a key role in the success of the scientific
study and its reaching the required results, but the ethics of scientific research and
the qualities that the researcher must possess require commitment to many things
when dealing with the members of this sample.
For example, in some cases, the confidentiality of the information given by the
study sample members, such as if the information is related to personal matters, a
disease or other information that the respondent does not want others to know

about, and which he has given to the scientific researcher for his confidence in him
and his knowledge of the importance of scientific research
It is also assumed that the scientific researcher deals with the study sample with
respect and honesty, and that he respects their wishes.
In the event of any danger to them, he must tell them about this and explain the
nature of the risks, and take a written consent from them to participate in the
research in this case.
