Examining the use of
non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) compared to narcotics to relieve pain.
This
assignment will help you in developing your Bare Bones Research Proposal
further. You will use the evidence that you began identifying in your
Problem Identification and PICOT Assignment and build on it in this
assignment. In this paper, you are providing evidence/statistics that
support that your topic is a problem in clinical practice, establishing the
significance of the problem to nursing, and reviewing and synthesizing current
literature about your topic. Use the following headings to develop APA
headings for your paper. Include the following information in each
section.
Introduction: Begin with a broad introduction to the topic that grabs the
reader’s attention. Typically present broad statistical background on the
issue. Nearly every sentence should be referenced.
Problem Statement: Begin defining the problem
here—include more detailed statistics—specifically about the population you
plan to examine. What is the importance to the public? Nearly every
sentence should be referenced.
Significance of the study to nursing: (as obtained from the
literature). This must be referenced, not your opinion. The significance
section should provide information as to why it is important to fill in any
gaps in knowledge or why it is important to improve patient outcomes.
Describe
and summarize who will be able to use the knowledge your study provides and, if
applicable, how the results of your study might help make practice decisions,
improve policy, or change practice as a whole.
Literature review and synthesis: Review relevant literature
and write a literature synthesis on your identified problem with at least seven recent,
scholarly, research-based, and diverse articles (at least three of which come
from nursing journals). These articles should be scholarly or research based in
nature. Do not use web pages, newspapers, or non-refereed journals.
Do not use any .com references. You will describe the variables of your study
here. This section should be heavily referenced. Try to synthesize
your findings. Do not just summarize each of the articles
individually. You will identify your variables in this section. For
example:
Does
the utilization of music therapy in addition to oral pain medications impact
pain levels as compared to oral pain medications alone in orthopedic post
surgical patients on post-operative day one?
Your
dependent variable is post-operative pain levels and your independent variable
is music therapy. You would synthesize current literature on music
therapy and post operative pain (or even pain and the management of pain in
general).
·
Purpose: Identify the purpose of the study. You will write this as: The
purpose of the study is to…. Typical phrasing examples
include:
o
The purpose of the study
is to examine the effectiveness of X intervention on Y. X would be the
independent variable and Y would be the outcome or dependent variable.
o
The purpose of the study
is to identify whether a correlation exists between X and Y.
o
The purpose of the study
is to determine whether X has an influence on Y.
o
The purpose of the study
is to explore factors that (influence, describe, correlate, etc.) Y variable.
The
purpose statement also includes the target population.
Hypothesis
or Research Question/PICOT Question: Select which one is most
appropriate for your design and congruent with your purpose. You will choose
either a hypothesis or a research question, not both. These will be a
restatement of your purpose as either a hypothesis or a question.
After
receiving feedback on this assignment, you will be able to incorporate the
sections of this paper into your final Bare Bones Proposal assignment.
