Summer Series: Research 101- Part THREE

Send us Fan MailWelcome back to Part Three of our Summer Series on Research 101! I'm once again joined by Chris Patty here in my recording closet. In Part One, we explored the history of research, Chris defined what research truly means, and we had some insightful discussions about nursing literature. An important takeaway from that episode was Chris's enthusiasm for AI and its potential in our field.In Part Two, we shifted our focus to developing the research protocol, particularly before presenting it to the Institutional Review Board (IRB). Chris helped demystify the IRB process, detailing its structure and what’s needed for protocol approval. He also introduced the hierarchy of evidence, emphasizing its importance in the research landscape and reiterating how AI is influencing healthcare and nursing practices. If you missed those episodes, I highly recommend going back and giving them a listen!In this concluding episode, we tackled four crucial aspects of the research process: data collection, analysis, publication, and dissemination. After all, why invest so much effort in formulating your PICO question, facing the IRB, conducting your study, and collecting data, only to keep your findings to yourself? That would be quite insane!Before we wrapped up, I asked Chris why conducting research is so important, and his answer hit home, so be sure to listen for that.I'm a bit sad that our summer series is coming to an end. I've had such a rewarding time learning from Chris, and I hope you have too. Your feedback would be greatly appreciated, so feel free to share your thoughts!
