Our intention with this subject (and this assessment) is to encourage you to be curious. Curiosity is a
key attribute underpinning Evidence Based Practice in healthcare – the provision of care not just as it
has always been done but to identify practices that are supported by research evidence, clinical
experience, are appropriate to the individual’s context and resources at hand, as well as being in
keeping with the values of the patient (Hoffmann, Bennett, & Del Mar, 2010).
As professionals we would encourage you to be curious about practice and to ask questions; why do
that practice then, why in that way, why might that be effective, or why might that be effective but
only for those patients. As such, with this assessment we want you to think of a research question
and consider which main research paradigm and design would be the most appropriate to obtain
evidence to answer those questions and enhance nursing care, nurse wellbeing, healthcare systems
and process, and patient outcomes.
You will need to propose one “research question” about a clinical issue or nursing.
You should then decide upon the best paradigm (Qualitative, Quantitative) to answer this
question and the specific design (ethnography, cohort study) that is most appropriate.
Using the template provided, you should present:
x The research question
x A description of the selected paradigm and design (including definitions)
x The reason why you thought this was the most appropriate paradigm and design
