In Brief A research proposal is the first and most vital component of a research as it gives a brief summary of the work.

There have been updated several different research priority areas by research foundations, societies etc.

CINAHL database is an important electronic database for the nurses and nurse researchers.

Background Developing a research idea into a research proposal is of paramount significance for the researchers.

A research proposal describes what the researcher knows about his research and what novelty would he be introducing, its significance and queries of other researchers.

It is imperative that in nursing research domain also a proper strategy is formulated which justifies its application for future.

Through this one can identify the various nursing and healthcare research works that should be undertaken in future.

Introduction Emphasizing on planning or developing a research proposal, it is necessary to conduct an in-depth academic discussion in the area of nursing theory development.

It has been asserted that while developing the research proposal the various paradigms such as health, person, nursing and environment should be focused on.

The authors asserted that in the research work more emphasis should be laid on the suitable methods of planning evidence-based nursing research.

Researc h Proposal

A research proposal can be defined as a short document that clearly illustrates the motive or purpose of researcher towards planning the research.

It is essential to plan a research proposal as it ensures planning a smooth and well-designed research work.

Key Points to be Included in a Research Proposal

1. What is the primary motive of conducting study?

2. Where or in what areas is the study being conducted?

3. What is the source of data used for the study?

4. What are the techniques followed in study?

5. How will the data gathered be analyzed?

6. How will the results obtained be interpreted?

Snippet of Sections in Research Proposal

1. Introduction: It is the initial section of a research document and describes in brief what the research is about and what its significance is.

The introduction should be designed and planned in such a manner that it arouses the interest of reader towards topic and proposal.

2. Literature review: This section of the proposal should include a brief description of the latest works performed in the area discussed, highlighting the issues and solutions suggested by the authors.

3. Aims and objectives: It is the foremost cited section of a research and presents the intention of researcher or the goals that are planned.

Some researchers categorize the aims and objectives as primary and secondary.

4. Summary: A successful and qualitative research proposal should include a summary that interprets the knowledge of the researcher in that field.

Conclusio n

Emphasis has been laid on performing nursing research by identifying the priorities or topics that need to be addressed.

It is noteworthy here that CINAHL database is a popular and common database that needs to be referred while planning nursing research.

It has been asserted that the most critical step in planning a research is drafting the research questions.

The researchers fail to follow a systematic approach and the most general issue encountered by practitioners is translating the clinical questions into formal scientific investigation.
