• First and foremost, narrowing your focus is crucial. It may be impossible to conduct a thorough examination of the problem you’ve chosen if it is too large. Remember: Contributing to the field of medicine does not necessitate resolving global issues. Add something new to a current topic that already has a lot of literature studies. Any field of nursing, including social work, psychology, obstetrics, and clinical nursing, has intriguing research questions.
• You can pick a subject based on your own experiences. It could be something you see in your family or a problem that initially piqued your interest in nursing. You can get ideas for evidence-based practice nursing research topics by looking at the situation in your city or hometown.
