How Does Limited Research Impact Nursing Practice?
The lack of robust research can have several negative implications:
Suboptimal Patient Care: Without strong evidence to guide practice, nurses may rely on outdated or less effective methods, potentially compromising patient outcomes. Professional Development: Limited research opportunities can hinder the professional growth of nurses, as they have fewer chances to engage in scholarly activities and contribute to the body of knowledge. Policy Making: Insufficient research data can lead to poorly informed health policies that fail to address the real needs of the nursing workforce and patient populations.
