This course explores the interconnectedness of nursing theory, nursing research, and nursing practice. Concepts related to the philosophy of science and generation of knowledge are examined. Both qualitative and quantitative approaches to the research process are encouraged. Clinical projects designed to demonstrate the interrelationship of theory, research, and practice, and which relate to the area of health promotion, are addressed. An action plan is developed to serve as the application phase of the research process. Research utilization and dissemination in advanced practice are discussed. Ways to incorporate clinically-based research are investigated.
