[Department of Nursing] What is research ability?

Research ability is the ability to conduct research.What do you think of when you hear the word research?Do you think it doesn't matter to you who want to be a nurse?

In fact, the ability to conduct research is very important in nursing practice.Then, what is the most necessary thing in the ability to research?Nursing practice encounters many phenomena, such as patient reactions, the effects of nursing care, and difficulties in the work of nurses.Nursing practice is the act of providing various ideas in mutual interaction with patients for the patient's recovery and improvement of QOL.However, the practice of nursing is more often than not straightforward. In practice, we always ask ourselves, "Why is that?" and "What is the cause of that?"What is needed at this time is a spirit of inquiry, curiosity, in other words, research ability.This is the reason why research in nursing is called practical research.Nursing research is positioned as a compulsory subject in the basic nursing education curriculum.Research ability is closely linked to nursing practice ability.

Nurses with excellent nursing practice are excellent in this research ability.Please value your inquisitiveness and curiosity.Rather than letting go of the various things that happen in our daily lives, getting into the habit of asking “why?” may actually be a shortcut to becoming an excellent nurse.
