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.

Research 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?

1. What are the techniques followed in study?
2. How will the data gathered be analyzed?

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. Contd..

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

11
Conclusion

• 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.
