Research Proposal Project

All components of this project have been completed in previous weeks, so your final research proposal project paper should be cohesive, polished, and incorporate feedback from your instructor from the previous weeks. Your research proposal should be between 10 and 15 pages. Follow proper APA format and style and include a cover page, reference page, and any applicable tables or appendices. Your research proposal should have a nursing theoretical foundation.

Your research proposal must include the following sections:

  • Background and rationale for the study
  • Review of the relevant literature
  • Design and methodology

You must include the following components:

Section One: Introduction

The research proposal should:

  • Start with a statement of the problem and objective for the study, which articulates the main objectives that the study desires to achieve.
  • Include a description of the theoretical framework to be utilized and a rationale for choosing a framework.
  • Describe the significance and relevance of the problem. Why is this particular study needed? How will findings contribute to the field of advanced practice nursing? Why is this research needed?

Section Two: Literature Review

The literature review should:

  • Be a synthesis of the major concepts from recently published research findings.
  • Be organized by themes and not just a report about what each author discovered in his or her research findings.
  • Identify no fewer than six relevant research articles.
  • Synthesize the literature in relation to where the study fits within the context of the proposed study.

Section Three: Design and Methodology

In this section, what is to be done, and who, what, how, and where are all to be included in your proposal. The methods should be relevant to the question that is to be answered as a result of the research study. There should be information included about the study design, the setting and sample, data collection methods, and data collection analysis procedures. Ethical considerations should also be addressed in this area. Limitations and a plan for communicating the research findings should also be included in this section.

 All critical elements of design and methods should be detailed, including:

  • Definitions of the variables
  • Identification of the population and sample
  • Procedures for sampling
  • Processes for obtaining consent to do the study
  • Informed consent form to be given to research participants
  • Data collection procedures
  • A clearly stated method of data analysis
  • An explanation on why your data analysis method is appropriate for your research
  • Issues related to validity and reliability
  • Ethical considerations (including plans for the protection of human subjects as appropriate)

Read the case here.

Review the patient’s TB questionnaire. (Page 1) 

(Page 2)   

Conduct an evidence-based literature search to identify the most recent standards of care/treatment modalities from peer-reviewed articles and professional association guidelines (www.guideline.gov (Links to an external site.)). These articles and guidelines can be referenced, but not directly copied into the clinical case presentation. Cite a minimum of three resources.

Answer the following questions:

  1. What is the transmission and pathophysiology of TB?
  2. What are the clinical manifestations?
  3. After considering this scenario, what are the primary identified medical concerns for this patient?
  4. What are the primary psychosocial concerns?
  5. What are the implications of the treatment regimen, as far as likelihood of compliance and outcomes? Search the Internet to research rates of patient compliance in treatment of TB, as well as drug resistant TB.
  6. Identify the role of the community clinic in assisting patients, particularly undocumented patients, in covering the cost of TB treatment. What resources exist for TB treatment in community health centers around the United States? Compare the cost for treatment between, subsidized as it would be for a community health center, and unsubsidized.
  7. What are the implications of TB for critical care and advanced practice nurses?

The use of medical terminology and appropriate graduate level writing is expected. 

Your paper should be 4–5 pages, (excluding cover page and reference page).

Your resources must include research articles as well as reference to non-research evidence-based guidelines.
