NUR 439 Clarifying Research & Quality Patient Care
Clarifying research and quality patient care are two important concepts in nursing. Clarifying research involves understanding the findings of nursing research and how they can be applied in practice. This can involve critically evaluating the methods, data, and conclusions of research studies, and determining how the findings can be used to improve the quality of care that nurses provide.
Quality patient care, on the other hand, involves providing high-quality care to patients that is safe, effective, timely, efficient, equitable, and patient-centered. This can involve using the best available evidence to guide nursing practice, and engaging in ongoing learning and professional development to stay up-to-date with current best practices.
Clarifying research and quality patient care are closely related, as research can provide valuable insights and evidence that can be used to improve the quality of patient care. By understanding and applying the findings of nursing research, nurses can provide care that is more effective and tailored to the needs of individual patients. This can ultimately lead to better health outcomes for patients and a higher level of satisfaction with the care that they receive.
