  INTROCUCTION  In thisapproach, possible solutions are carefully evaluated & one of them is chosen for implementation.  The situation is carefully monitored over time to ensure the initial & continued effectiveness of the solution.  Therefore, problem solving for one situation contributes to the nurse’s knowledge for problem solving in other similar situations. 4/21/2016 2 www.drjayeshpatidar.blogspot.com

  PROBLEM-SOLVING PROCESS Problem definition • Inthis first step, there is a need to write down what exactly the problem entails, which helps to identify the real problem that is under study & needs an immediate solution. Problem analysis • To analysis how the problem affects the researcher & his or her current situation & other people involved in the situation. • The gravity of the problem & all the factors that are contributing to the problem are determined 4/21/2016 4 www.drjayeshpatidar.blogspot.com

  PROBLEM-SOLVING PROCESS Generating possible solutions • Focusmust be on identifying & generating all possible solutions for a problem. • Each potential idea for solution of a problem must be considered without discarding it through value judgment. Analyzing the solutions • Various factors about each of the potential solutions are investigated, wherein all the positive & negative aspects of each solution are analyzed. 4/21/2016 5 www.drjayeshpatidar.blogspot.com

  PROBLEM-SOLVING PROCESS Selecting the bestsolutions • An attempt is made to compare the available solutions, & eventually the best solutions is selected based on the careful judgment. Implementing the solutions • The final step of the problem-solving process is to practically solve the problem by implementing the selected solutions. 4/21/2016 6 www.drjayeshpatidar.blogspot.com

  PROBLEM-SOLVING PROCESS Evaluation and revision •After implementation of the most potential solution, an evaluation is made to judge the effectiveness of the solution in resolving the problem. • It also helps to redefine the problem & revise the problem- solving process in case the initial solution fails to manage the problem effectively. 4/21/2016 7 www.drjayeshpatidar.blogspot.com

  COMPARISON BETWEEN THESTEPS OF THE RESEARCH PROCESS AND PROBLEM-SOLVING PROCESS Research Process Problem-solving Process State a research question or problem Problem definition Define the purpose or the rationale for the study Problem analysis Review related literature Formulate hypothesis & define variables Generating possible solution(s) Select a method to test hypothesis Analyzing the best solution(s) Select a population, sample, & setting Conduct a pilot study Selecting the best solution(s) Collect the data Analyze the data Implementing the solution(s) 4/21/2016www.drjayeshpatidar.blogspot.com 8
