What Is Nursing Research?
Nursing research is the systematic investigation of questions relevant to nursing practice, education, administration, and patient outcomes. It spans quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-methods studies, and underpins evidence-based practice by generating the data that shapes clinical guidelines, care models, and health policy.
