Designing a nursing research project involves several steps. Initially, researchers identify a [research question]() or hypothesis. This is followed by a literature review to understand existing knowledge and gaps. Next, researchers select an appropriate [research methodology](), which could be quantitative, qualitative, or mixed-methods. Data collection methods, such as surveys, interviews, or clinical trials, are then chosen. Finally, researchers develop a detailed plan outlining the procedures, timeline, and ethical considerations.
