Research Council Co-Chairs Publish on Psychiatric Nursing Research Priorities

Objective: To estabilish a regional list for nursing research priorities in health systems and services in the Region of the Americas based on the concepts of Universal Access to Health and Universal Health Coverage. Method: five-stage consensus process: systematic review of literature; appraisal of resulting questions and topics; ranking of the items by graduate program coordinators; discussion and ranking amongst a forum of researchers and public health leaders; and consultation with the Ministries of Health of the Pan American Health Organization's member states. Results: the resulting list of nursing research priorities consists of 276 study questions/ topics, which are sorted into 14 subcategories distributed into six major categories: 1. Policies and education of nursing human resources; 2. Structure, organization and dynamics of health systems and services; 3. Science, technology, innovation, and information systems in public health; 4. Financing of health systems and services; 5. Health policies, governance, and social control; and 6. Social studies in the health field. Conclusion: the list of nursing research priorities is expected to serve as guidance and support for nursing research on health systems and services across Latin America. Not only researchers, but also Ministries of Health, leaders in public health, and research funding agencies are encouraged to use the results of this list to help inform research-funding decisions.

The Way

One of the determinants for decision-making in conducting psychiatric nursing research is the researchers’ framework of reference he/she works from. This framework of reference refers to the way in which researcher views reality and is called a paradigm and consists of metatheoretical, theoretical and methodological assumptions. The metatheoretical assumptions reflect the researcher’s view of a person, health, nursing and environment. These are beliefs and cannot be tested and are accepted to be true for the researcher. The theoretical assumptions are deducted from the metatheoretical assumptions and can be formulated into central statements or hypothesis and be validated through research. Nursing for the Whole Person Theory has a set of metatheoretical, theoretical and methodological assumptions that can provide direction in conducting psychiatric nursing research. In this paper the application of Nursing for the Whole Person Theory in conducting psychiatric nursing research will be demonstrated by using a completed psychiatric nursing research study as an example.
