1.Scope
• Scope refers to the range or area covered by a subject
• In the nursing research it means the topics, issues and areas studied to
improve patient care
• It shows what can be explored and how it helps to advance the field
2. Nursing Research
• Nursing Research is a way to identify new knowledge, improve professional
education and practices and use of resources effectively .
SCOPE OF NURSING RESEARCH

• The scope of nursing research is as wide as nursing
• Globally, research is nursing is committed to scientific inquiry that
yeilds valid and reliable results.
• It adds significant knowledge to Nursing Practice and contributes
to the well being of people at large

Main Areas of Nursing Research are:
Areas of Nursing Research

• High quality and cost effective care is the demand of consumers
nowadays.
• In the scenario of EBP, the scope of research is widely recognized in
clinical nursing practice.
• Nursing's expanded view of health emphasizes health promotion,
restoration, and rehabilitation as well commitment to caring and
comfort.
• The scope of research in practice ranges from acute to chronic care,
promotion, prevention and rehabilitation of individual, family and
community.
Research in Clinical Nursing Practice

However according to ICN certain
subareas of nursing research are :
1. Health promotion, prevention of
illness and control of symptoms
2. Quality and cost effectiveness of care
3. Impact of nursing intervention on
client outcomes
4. Evidence-based nursing practice
5. Treatment adherence , side effects or

• Nursing education is an important area to build up theoretical knowledge
about nursing and its related issues.
• Nursing education research centers on developing and testing more efficient
educational processes, identifying new ways to incorporate technology in
order to enhance learning and discovering more efficient approaches to
promoting lifelong learning.
T
Research for Nursing Education

10
• Curriculum design and
evaluation
• New pedagogies
• Use of instructional
technology, including new
approaches to simulated
learning
• Student/teacher learning
partnership
Areas of research as per National
League for Nursing in Nursing

• Assessment of students
learning in classroom settings
and practice
• New model for teacher
preparation and faculty
development
• Educational system and
infrastructures.
• Strategies to motivate students
to learn in classroom and
clinical area

Research in Nursing
Administration
12
• This is extremely important area of nursing practice as well as hospital
management .
• Research may also be used to explore problems related to nursing management
and administration in order to improve staff satisfaction, decrease turn over and
augment work satisfaction.
• Many international and national bodies and organization like WHO,MoHFW,INC
and TNAI and many other agencies also given certain subareas where research
may be conducted to explore the hidden and buried issues

13
• Nursing manpower including
quality nurses, work life, retention,
turn over, satisfaction with work
• Financing health sector.
• Impact of equity and access to
nursing care and its effect on
nursing (outcome research).
Research areas as per Internation
Council of Nurses for Nursing
administration ;

14
• Practice standards in various
nursing specialties
• Quality assurance in education and
practice
• Manpower planning
• Cost benefit analysiS
Areas of research as per Indian
Nursing Council

• Research in health system and outcome of care is one of
the important areas of nursing re search,
• where nurse scholars may identify the success of
presently existing health care delivery systems and
models in country and to identify the ways and means to
develop affordable quality of health care to individual,
families and communities of the country.
Nursing Research for Health System
15

Evaluate the effectiveness of
existing policies and
programmes for health care of
people. Such as NRHM and
NUHM
Impact of health care reform on
health policy, programme
planning and evaluation
(impact studies)
16
Developing cost-effective model of
health care for rural and deprived
communities.
Developing models of health
care, which are affordable and
accessible to people located in
remote and hilly areas

• Research is not an easy
activity in itself.
• Research in health, nursing,
and social sciences is usually
carried out in natural settings,
where the researcher faces
the following main problems:
PROBLEMS IN NURSING ,HEALTH AND SOCIAL
RESEARCH
17

• Most of the research
studies in the field of
nursing and health and
social sciences usually
conducted in natural
settings.
• Therefore, it becomes
very difficult to exert
control over external
variables while measuring
the effect of independent
variable on dependent
varaible.
Handling multiple
variables
18

19
Researchin nursing, health, and social sciences usually
deals with phenomena related to humans, where ethically
as well as practically it becomes very difficult to conduct
research studies in laboratory. Most of the researches in
these disciplines are conducted outside laboratory, in
natural settings.
Minimal possibility of laboratory
research:
Research in nursing, health, and social sciences deals with
natural phenomena where valid and reliable standardized
tools are needed to generate empirical evidences.
However, it is evident that there is significant lack of valid
and reliable tools to measure variables in nursing, health,
and social science disciplines.
Lack of standardized tools

Research in nursing, health, and social sciences deals with
natural phenomena where valid and reliable standardized

However, it is evident that there is significant lack of valid
and reliable tools to measure variables in nursing, health,
and social science disciplines.
Lack of Standardized Tools
It is usually observed that several phenomena in the field
of nursing, health, and social sciences are qualitative in
nature. However, it can be commonly seen that these
disciplines usually measure these qualitative phenomena
by using quantitative means where the effectiveness of
the evidence get distored
Measuring Qualitative Phenomenon
through Quantitative Means

21
Research studies in nursing, health, and social sciences deal
with human beings where safeguarding their rights become an
important issue. Moreover, several problems cannot be studied
only because of ethical constraints
Qualitative research methods are considered to be best to
study phenomena in the field of nursing, health, and social
sciences but there is a significant dearth of experts
equipped with the knowledge
Lack of Qualitative expertise
Ethical constraints

• It is generally observed that
people in thefield of nursing ,
health and social sciences
conduct studies only for the
specific purpose ,such aspartial
fulfillment of partricular degree
or due to complusion as a part
of their job
• Andalso may be lack of
goverment funding , research
interest, expertise and
motivation
Lack of Interest Among
Researcher
22

PROBLEMS FACED BY INDIAN NURSE
RESEARCHERS
23
• Overlapping research studies are quite often undertaken for want of adequate
infromation resulting in the duplication andf wastage of resources
• There does not exist a clear code of conduct for researchers .Also interuniversity
and interdepartermntal rivalries are quite common
• Level of interaction betwen nursing education and nursing practice
• Lack of scientific training ibn the area of research methodology
• Lack of resources and support from funding agencies
Some common problems faced by nurse reacher in india are as
follows :

Summary and Conclusion
“ALL PROGRESS ARE BORN BY INQUIRY ,DOUBT IS FAR THAN OVERCONFIDENCE AS IT
LEADS TO INQUIRY AND INQUIRY LEADS TO INVENTIONS”
Nursing research is essential for advancing healthcare by improving clinical
practices, education, administration, and health systems. However, challenges
such as ethical constraints, lack of standardized tools, and limited resources
hinder progress. Overcoming these barriers through better support, training,
and collaboration is crucial for fostering innovation and ensuring that nursing
research leads to meaningful improvements in patient care and healthcare
delivery.
