Introduction, Approximately  400 words

What is research and why is it important? This section should define research, demonstrate your knowledge of different types of research, and highlight the importance of research to evidence-based practice.

Make sure you use references to support the points you make (research textbooks, peer-reviewed articles about research etc.). You should also briefly introduce your chosen area of practice, providing a rationale for your choice. This should be one or two sentences at most

Main Body, Approximately  1000 words

How can research help improve the care of people within your chosen area of practice? The main body is where you address the essay title. We want you to illustrate the practical importance of research by discussing at least 4 primary and/or secondary research studies that focus on

1 Spinal cord injuries,

2 Administration of injection

3 Eating disorder

 4 Drug addition  

Try to include studies that relate to each other (are broadly on the same topic) so your writing has a clear focus. Make sure you also clearly demonstrate how the research is relevant to nursing practice – how might the findings of the research studies

be used to improve the nursing care we deliver? In second year, we want to start seeing you move away from just describing what you read, to developing discussion that begins to offer some critique. Therefore, in the main body we expect you to:

1. Think about the ways the research studies were conducted, and discuss any potential sources of bias. , in addition to your wider reading (see the resource list). 2. Try to compare and contrast the different studies, rather  than simply describing them one after the other. What do they have in common? Are there any differences in what they found? When writing this section, the key is to clearly (and critically)demonstrate how research findings can inform improvements in nursing care in your chosen practice area.

Bringing it all together. Your conclusion will very briefly summarise the key points of your essay, and make evidence-based recommendations for practice.
