Do you know what the term “thesis” actually means? No? Then we will explain it to you.
Thesis is a treatise, which presents a new point of view on some problem, which you are researching. It is your point of view, based on your studies and experiments.
So, you should not only study a nursing problem and the ways of its solution. You must provide something new, settle your own theory.
But firstly, you should choose a certain nursing problem to research. It has to be something that will give you more opportunities for your discovering and that will awake the audience’s interest. Besides, if the nursing problem is quite old, you will have fewer opportunities to consult some scientists, because nobody would be interested in studying it. And it would be quite difficult to find good sources to help you.
You are encouraged to carry out your own experiments and consult specialists while preparing the nursing thesis. Of course, you should conduct research yourself, but it would not be considered as a breach if you ask for someone’s help. The only condition is that you have to mention everybody who has helped you in writing your nursing theses, and write what kind of help you have received from this person.
Nursing research can be of two types;
- Direct solution to nursing problems;
- Development of already existing nursing theories.
So, as you can see, your nursing thesis will contain an attempt to resolve some nursing problem.
Writing a nursing thesis, you should base on essential nursing questions, such as:
- What nursing problem you are going to resolve?
- What were the previous solutions to the nursing problem?
- What conclusion you came up to resolving the nursing problem?
- How can you compare your nursing problem solution with the previous solutions to this problem?
You should answer all of these questions. Otherwise, you will create just a nursing report, but not a nursing thesis.
Nursing theses can be of four types. These are the types:
- Nursing thesis;
- Science-exploratory thesis;
- Science-theoretical thesis;
- Science-experimental thesis.
To choose the most appropriate type of a nursing thesis, you should try each of the types and compare the results. It will help you choose the best form.
If you find out that none of these forms suits you, revise your nursing theses. May be you should change the direction of your nursing research?
