This unit of study builds on foundational research methods introduced within the pre-requisite units. It aims to prepare students to recognise the quality and appropriateness of research for translation into nursing knowledge and practice. The unit introduces students to the process of inquiry: to Ask, Acquire, Appraise, Apply and Evaluate. This involves the translation of uncertainty to an answerable question, systematic retrieval of the best available evidence, critically appraising studies for quality and appropriateness, summarising the evidence, and implementing findings where appropriate. The unit introduces students to the application of ethical principles to research. Students will apply frameworks that guide the implementation of findings into practice. They will learn to apply research evidence in the context of patient and family values and the organisational, ethical and policy environment.
