Associated Data

The data that support the findings of this study are available from the corresponding author upon reasonable request.

This research aimed to evaluate patients' satisfaction with the nursing care quality during their hospitalization.

Quantitative cross‐sectional descriptive design.

A convenience sample of 238 patients were recruited from hospitals in two provinces in Saudi Arabia. Patient satisfaction was measured by the Arabic version of the Patients' Satisfaction with Nursing Care Quality Questionnaire (PSNCQQ‐Ar).

Significant differences were found between Saudi provinces regarding the overall quality of nursing care (M = 4.65, p  < 0.001). The study revealed mean significant variations between patient satisfaction with nursing care and sociodemographic factors, including age ( p  = 0.002), education level ( p  = 0.047), marital status ( p  = 0.017), employment status ( p  = 0.038), urban vs. suburban residence ( p  = 0.006), length of hospitalization ( p  = 0.001), and accompaniment by a family member ( p  = 0.014). Improving patients' experience during their hospitalization requires regular examination of the quality of nursing care services.

Patient Contribution

This research enhances our understanding of patients satisfaction toward the quality of nursing care received during hospitalization.

1. INTRODUCTION

Access to quality nursing care is an essential human right and is considered a significant factor in patients' well‐being (Fuseini et al.,  2022 ). Delivering nursing care that satisfies quality standards is crucial for providing patients with high‐quality care (Karaca & Durna,  2019 ). The quality of nursing care can be measured by assessing patients' level of satisfaction (Gishu et al.,  2019 ), and patient satisfaction can be increased through proper nursing care (Aiken et al.,  2021 ). Measuring patients' satisfaction helps in gaining important information regarding hospitals' performance as well as assessing the quality management of health organizations (Hepsiba & Bhattacharjee,  2021 ). Patients' satisfaction with their care can lead to patient loyalty and trust (Liu et al.,  2021 ): satisfied patients are loyal and more inclined to return to the same hospital or health care provider in the future and may suggest them to other relatives and friends (Setyawan et al.,  2020 ).

Patient satisfaction captures different aspects of health care, such as professionalism, the technology used, and the overall quality and level of care received (Hepsiba & Bhattacharjee,  2021 ). Having a balance between patients' satisfaction and quality improvement is critical because it affects patients' survival, safety, and health in the long term (Rahim et al.,  2021 ). Health care providers compete to deliver high‐quality services to their patients (Fatima et al.,  2018 ).

Hospitalization has negative consequences on patients' abilities to cope and adjust, which exacerbates their emotions and increases their feelings of anxiety and depression (Alzahrani,  2021 ). Therefore, increasing patient satisfaction through nursing care is essential to improve health outcomes. Moreover, patients satisfied with nursing care tend to strictly adhere to treatment regimens, which positively affects their health and decreases the length of stay in hospitals (Aiken et al.,  2021 ; Traiki et al.,  2020 ). Patient satisfaction with nursing care is important in maintaining health care costs and preventing their increase. Patients have expressed dissatisfaction with nursing care due to leaving necessary care incomplete (White et al.,  2019 ). This led to the deterioration of patients' health conditions and increased their hospital stay for extended periods, which eventually increased the cost of health care (Brooks Carthon et al.,  2021 ).

Focusing on the quality of nursing care is vital because nurses are on the frontline with patients and are predominant in the health care field (World Health Organization [WHO],  2020a ). Nurses constitute around 50% of the health workforce globally (WHO,  2020b ). In Saudi Arabia, nurses constitute nearly 42% of health care providers (Ministry of Health,  2018 ). Therefore, hospitals and other health care facilities strive to deliver high‐quality nursing care because it contributes to the system's efficacy and provides insights for legislators and policymakers (Brooks Carthon et al.,  2021 ). Alongside this process, understanding patients' satisfaction with nursing care can help nurses and hospital managers have a better understanding of patients' satisfaction and dissatisfaction factors that might affect the overall quality of nursing care (Lotfi et al.,  2019 ).

2. BACKGROUND

Measuring patients' satisfaction with nursing care quality is a vast topic, extensively studied globally. However, in Saudi Arabia, little research has examined patients' satisfaction with nursing care. Alhowaymel et al. ( 2022 ) reported a high level of patient satisfaction with overall nursing care during the COVID‐19 pandemic, with a mean score of 4.25 out of a possible 5. Another study conducted in southwest Saudi Arabia revealed lower patient satisfaction. Around 80% of study participants reported high satisfaction with hospital services; specifically, 78% were satisfied with nursing care services (Elias et al.,  2022 ). Another study revealed higher levels of patient satisfaction in one national hospital located in four provinces in the country (Fozan,  2013 ). In contrast, a study conducted at a hospital in Tabuk found low‐to‐medium patient satisfaction with the quality of nursing care (Al Qahtani & Al Dahi,  2015 ).

The quality of nursing practices can be influenced by many factors. Issues that may adversely influence the quality of nursing care include nursing working hours and job satisfaction (Putra et al.,  2021 ; Son et al.,  2019 ). According to Brešan et al. ( 2021 ), the nursing working environment correlates with the quality of nursing care provided to patients. The working environment could include nurses' working hours, shifts, and job satisfaction (Putra et al.,  2021 ). Another factor the world is currently experiencing is the COVID‐19 pandemic (Labrague et al.,  2022 ), during which more overtime hours, leave, and absences have been reported among nurses (Nymark et al.,  2022 ). Because many factors contribute to and influence nursing practice efficiency, they vary over time. Therefore, it is necessary to continually measure patients' satisfaction with the quality of nursing care because it may provide health care managers and policymakers indicators of the health care quality provided to patients. Consequently, the current research aimed to appraise patients' satisfaction with the quality of nursing care during hospitalization in Saudi Arabia. Specific aims of this study included assessing patients' satisfaction levels with the quality of nursing care and examining the interrelationships between patients' sociodemographic features and medical history and their levels of satisfaction with nursing practice. Several such studies have been conducted in Saudi Arabia from different provinces. However, to our knowledge, none has focused on Medina province, and only one recent study was conducted in Riyadh province, which measured COVID‐19 patient satisfaction with nursing care.

2.1. Research questions

The study sought to answer the following questions:

• What is the level of patient satisfaction with the quality of nursing care during their hospitalization in Saudi Arabia?
• Does a significant difference exist between patients' sociodemographic factors, previous hospitalization, and satisfaction with the quality of nursing care services?

3.1. Study design

A quantitative cross‐sectional, descriptive design examined patients' satisfaction with the quality of nursing care provided to them during their hospitalization.

3.2. Setting

The study was conducted in two provinces in Saudi Arabia: Riyadh (the capital) and Medina. One prominent hospital in Riyadh is considered one of the largest medical cities in Saudi Arabia and the Middle East, with 1200 beds. The hospital serves more than 30,000 inpatients every year. Four hospitals in Medina were included in the data collection: one hospital with 280 beds, another specialized hospital for maternity and children with 500 beds, one general hospital with 500 beds, and one hospital with 50 beds. Those hospitals were chosen based on the level of health services provided, including tertiary and secondary hospitals.

3.3. Sampling and data collection

A convenience sampling method was used to survey hospitalized patients at multiple hospitals in the Riyadh and Medina Provinces. The sample size was estimated by G*Power software using the following parameters: effect size ( f 2 ) = 0.25, alpha = 0.05, and power = 0.95; accordingly, the total sample size would be 210 participants. The effect size of 0.25 is considered conservative in determining any differences in the sample. A total of 400 questionnaires were disseminated, and 238 were completed, with a response rate of 70%. The data collection phase took place between November and December 2021. Data were collected from inpatients at multiple departments, including medical, surgical, dialysis, pediatric, maternity, and rehabilitation, from different hospitals within the two provinces. The inclusion criteria for this study were inpatients who were hospitalized for at least 48 h, aged 18 years or older, who were oriented, not too ill to understand and complete the survey, and could read and understand Arabic.

3.4. Measurements

A demographic questionnaire was used to collect data on gender, age, marital status, work status, and duration of hospital stay. Patients' satisfaction with nursing care was measured using the Arabic version of the Patients' Satisfaction with Nursing Care Quality Questionnaire (PSNCQQ‐Ar; Albashayreh et al.,  2019 ). This questionnaire was adapted and translated from the PSNCQQ (Laschinger et al.,  2005 ). The PSNCQQ‐Ar is self‐administered and includes 21 items to measure PSNCQ during a hospitalization, based on their perceptions. The PSNCQQ‐Ar contains two factors (domains): the patient's satisfaction with the nursing care provided and the patient's satisfaction with the information provided. Besides these two factors, the questionnaire measures the overall nursing practice quality and the motivation to refer relatives and friends to the hospital. The questionnaire uses a 5‐point Likert scale varying from “poor” to “excellent.” The interpretation uses composite scoring for the overall PSNC quality or domain‐based scoring (Albashayreh et al.,  2019 ; Laschinger et al.,  2005 ). The original PSNCQQ had an adequate internal consistency reliability (Cronbach's alpha α  = 0.97; Laschinger et al.,  2005 ). The PSNCQQ‐Ar also had adequate internal consistency reliability in Oman and Saudi Arabia, (Cronbach's alpha α  = 0.96 and 0.97; Albashayreh et al.,  2019 ; Alhowaymel et al.,  2022 , respectively). For the sample of this study, the PNSCQQ‐Ar had adequate internal consistency reliability (Cronbach's alpha α  = 0.96).

3.5. Data analysis

Data were analyzed using IBM‐SPSS version 28.0. Descriptive statistics included means, standard deviation, frequencies, and percentages. Additionally, t ‐tests and one‐way ANOVA were used to determine differences in PSNCQ based on patients' demographical characteristics. A p ‐value of ≤0.05 was considered statistically significant.

3.6. Ethical considerations

Before data collection, approval was gained to use the PSNCQQ‐Ar for this study (Albashayreh et al.,  2019 ). Ethical approval to perform this research was achieved from the Institutional Review Board (IRB) from (Princess Nourah bint Abdulrahman University and The Ministry of Health). Furthermore, patients voluntarily signed consent forms to participate in the survey; to maintain complete privacy, the researchers did not collect any identifiable personal information from them.

4.1. Sample description

A total of 238 participants completed the questionnaire. The average (±SD) age of participants was 43.29 ± 17.64 years. Approximately 76.9% of the participants were 28 years of age or older. More than 53% of the participants were male, and around 47% were female. Around 60% of the participants had a high school level of schooling or below, whereas 40% had a college degree. Most of the participants were unemployed, and 60% were married. More than 60% were from Riyadh city, and the majority of the participants (70%) were from urban areas. Almost 86% of the sample had previously been hospitalized from 1–3 times, and around 53% had been hospitalized for more than 6 days on their latest hospitalization. More than 51% of the participants shared a hospital room with others, and 48% had a family member with them during their hospitalization. Over 40% of the participants were hospitalized in the surgical department. More than 90% were enthusiastic to suggest the hospital to friends and families if they needed it (Table  1 ).

4.2. Patients' satisfaction

The overall patient satisfaction with nursing care was high (M = 4.43 ± 0.76). Specifically, the patients' satisfaction with the provided care was high (M = 4.43 ± 0.78), and the patients' satisfaction with provided information was high (M = 4.45 ± 0.81). When analyzing items individually, the patients scored nurses' quickness to help the lowest (4.23 ± 1.09). On the other hand, nurses' clearness and completeness about relevant procedures, and the way nurses dealt with and interacted with them, were scored the highest (4.56 ± 0.86; 4.56 ± 0.83, respectively; Table  2 )

4.3. Patient satisfaction and associated factors

A significant difference was observed in the mean PSNC score among age groups ( p  = 0.002); participants who were aged 58 years and older were more satisfied with the quality of nursing care (M = 4.67). The average score differed significantly between individuals according to their education level ( p  = 0.047). Participants with a high school education or below were more satisfied with the nursing practice (M = 4.49). Unemployed participants showed a significantly higher level of satisfaction with nursing practice efficiency ( p  = 0.038, M = 4.49). A significant variation existed in the participants' average scores by marital status, where divorced or widowed patients were significantly more satisfied with the quality of the nursing care ( p  = 0.017, M = 4.59). Participants who were living in Riyadh city were significantly more satisfied with nursing care than those who were living in Medina ( p  < 0.001, M = 4.65), and participants residing in non‐urban areas were significantly more satisfied with the nursing care ( p  = 0.006, M = 4.61).

Additionally, a statistically significant difference existed in the mean PSNC score concerning the length of hospitalization, where participants with more than 6 days of hospitalization were more satisfied than those with a shorter length of stay ( p  < 0.001, M = 4.65). Participants who stayed in a single room had significantly higher satisfaction with nursing practice than those who shared their room with others ( p  < 0.001, M = 4.61). A statistically significant difference existed in participant satisfaction levels by whether their family was staying with them ( p  = 0.014, M = 4.49).

A significant difference existed in the average PSNC score among participants who recommended the hospital where they were inpatients and those who did not, with a higher mean score for those who did ( p  < 0.001, M = 4.59). Additionally, a statistically significant difference was found in participants' responses by the overall nursing care quality ( p  < 0.001), where most of the participants evaluated the nursing services as excellent, with a mean score of 4.78. A significant difference existed among participants in their evaluation of the overall quality of care, where the majority evaluated it as excellent ( p  < 0.001) with a mean score of 4.59. A significant difference existed in the mean score among participants, where the majority rated their overall health status as excellent ( p  < 0.001, M = 4.80). Finally, non‐significant differences existed in average PSNC scores regarding gender, previous hospitalizations, and the departments patients were admitted to (Table  3 ).

5. DISCUSSION

We examined patients' satisfaction with nursing care across two major provinces in Saudi Arabia (Riyadh and Medina). We surveyed hospitalized patients within several departments at five different hospitals in the two provinces. We primarily examined patients' satisfaction with nursing care and secondarily examined the factors influencing their satisfaction. The study revealed some differences and similarities to the existing literature.

The study revealed relatively high reported levels of overall patient satisfaction with nursing care, provided care, and provided information. Our main results are similar to many similar studies nationally and internationally. For example, this result is consistent with a recent study conducted among approximately 100 COVID‐19 patients in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where high satisfaction with nursing care was reported (Alhowaymel et al.,  2022 ). The results are consistent with other studies conducted in different provinces and hospitals in Saudi Arabia (Alasad et al.,  2015 ; Alsaqri,  2016 ). In an international context, the results are consistent with research conducted in Oman among over 290 patients (Albashayreh et al.,  2019 ), in Jordan among over 350 patients from thalassemia units (Al‐Awamreh & Suliman,  2019 ), in Turkey among over 600 discharged patients (Karaca & Durna,  2019 ), and in Spain among 200 intensive care unit–discharged patients (Romero‐García et al.,  2019 ). However, our main results are inconsistent with a study conducted in Saudi Arabia among over 400 patients in one hospital, where the study reported low‐to‐medium satisfaction levels (Al Qahtani & Al Dahi,  2015 ). Our results are also inconsistent with those of other international studies. For example, two studies conducted in Ethiopia among over 250 patients (Sharew et al.,  2018 ) and among over 560 patients (Kasa & Gedamu,  2019 ) both found that under half of the patients were unsatisfied. Another study that examined the satisfaction of patients or caregivers with nurses found moderate levels of satisfaction (Elayan & Ahmad,  2018 ). A possible explanation for our results is the level of readiness of nurses to deal with patients, which may be influenced by the empowerment of high education and practical levels. These factors would increase nurses' confidence and communication and interaction skills with patients and their colleagues (Alhowaymel et al.,  2022 ; Karaca & Durna,  2019 ; Zaghini et al.,  2020 ). Another possible explanation for the high satisfaction levels found in this study and other similar studies is that patients, who are not nurses, may lack judgmental skills about nursing care (Elayan & Ahmad,  2018 ).

Demographic and other factors influenced patients' satisfaction levels in this study. Our results revealed that older patients had higher satisfaction levels than younger patients. This result is consistent with that of another recent study conducted in Saudi Arabia among COVID‐19 patients (Alhowaymel et al.,  2022 ). Another study conducted in India among 100 patients found similar results (Shinde & Kapurkar,  2014 ). However, the result is inconsistent with that of another study conducted in Saudi Arabia, which found no satisfaction differences by age (Shinde & Kapurkar,  2014 ). Another study conducted in Turkey found that older patients were less satisfied with the quality of nursing care (Karaca & Durna,  2019 ). Generally, age is associated with patients' satisfaction: with increased age, satisfaction levels increase (Chandra et al.,  2019 ; Chumbler et al.,  2016 ). Additionally, the possibility of being more social and accepting is higher among older people compared with younger ones (Shinde & Kapurkar,  2014 ).

The study also showed that patients with lower education levels were more satisfied. This result is similar to studies conducted in Saudi Arabia (Alhowaymel et al.,  2022 ), Jordan (Elayan & Ahmad,  2018 ), and Turkey (Karaca & Durna,  2019 ), whereas it contrasts with another Saudi study (Al Qahtani & Al Dahi,  2015 ) and two other studies conducted in Oman (Albashayreh et al.,  2019 ) and India (Shinde & Kapurkar,  2014 ). A possible explanation for our result could be related to the low level of knowledge among less educated patients, which may lead to low expectations from nurses and a lack of judgmental skills (Roder‐DeWan et al.,  2019 ). The study also revealed that unemployed patients reported a greater degree of satisfaction than employed patients. This finding is consistent with that of a study conducted in India (Shinde & Kapurkar,  2014 ). The difference between this and the present study was that the authors asked the patients about their income, and in our study, we asked whether the patients were employed or unemployed. However, our finding is inconsistent with that of a study conducted in Turkey (Karaca & Durna,  2019 ). This result may support our previous result about education, where a high education level is often related to higher job opportunities. Thus, unemployed patients may have lower education levels, which affects their satisfaction with nursing care.

The study found that divorced and widowed patients were more satisfied with nursing care than those who were single or married. This result is inconsistent with studies conducted in Turkey (Karaca & Durna,  2019 ) and Ethiopia (Kasa & Gedamu,  2019 ), which found that married patients were more satisfied. Alhowaymel et al. ( 2022 ) and Al Qahtani and Al Dahi ( 2015 ) found no satisfaction differences by patients' marital status. The study also showed that patients staying in a single room had a significantly higher level of satisfaction regarding nursing care. This result is consistent with Kasa and Gedamu ( 2019 ), whereas it is inconsistent with other studies conducted in Saudi Arabia (Alhowaymel et al.,  2022 ), Oman (Albashayreh et al.,  2019 ), and Ethiopia (Kasa & Gedamu,  2019 ).

Patients living in Riyadh reported a higher satisfaction level than those living in Medina. Additionally, those residing in non‐urban areas had higher satisfaction levels than those living in urban areas. These two results are consistent with those of another study in Saudi Arabia (Alhowaymel et al.,  2022 ). This result can be explained by the fact that Riyadh, which is the capital of Saudi Arabia and is mostly urban, has more advanced health services compared to other areas in the kingdom (Alhowaymel et al.,  2022 ).

The study also found that the longer the patients stayed in the hospital, the more they were satisfied. Moreover, those who were staying with their families were more satisfied than those who were not. These two results are inconsistent with those of other studies conducted in Saudi Arabia (Alhowaymel et al.,  2022 ) and in Oman (Albashayreh et al.,  2019 ), which both found no satisfaction differences by these two factors. Our results may be explained by the support that patients receive during their stay from nurses; they may have more interaction during their stay. Additionally, family support is necessary for hospitalized patients for recovery and cure (Bettger et al.,  2020 ). Patients who recommended the hospital they stayed in to others, and patients who perceived their health as excellent, were more satisfied than their counterparts. These results are consistent with another Saudi study by Alhowaymel et al. ( 2022 ).

Finally, other factors including gender, previous hospitalizations, and hospital department influenced patient satisfaction in this study. No significant satisfaction differences were found between men and women in this study. Similar findings were reported in studies conducted in Saudi Arabia (Alsaqri,  2016 ), Oman (Albashayreh et al.,  2019 ), Jordan (Elayan & Ahmad,  2018 ), and Turkey (Karaca & Durna,  2019 ). However, other studies found that satisfaction level was different by gender. Male patients were more satisfied than female patients in studies conducted in Saudi Arabia (Al Qahtani & Al Dahi,  2015 ) and India (Shinde & Kapurkar,  2014 ).

Previous hospitalization was found in some studies to have a significant relationship with patients' satisfaction (Alsaqri,  2016 ; Karaca & Durna,  2019 ). Patients who are admitted to hospital and receive nursing care many times can observe their caring behavior. The results of this study did not show any significant difference in patient satisfaction levels due to the number of prior hospitalizations. Hospital department also did not influence patients' satisfaction with nursing care in this study. This result is consistent with that of a study conducted in Oman (Albashayreh et al.,  2019 ), whereas it is inconsistent with a study conducted in Ethiopia, which found that patients from surgical wards were more satisfied (Kasa & Gedamu,  2019 ).

This study has revealed vital results about patients' satisfaction with nursing care and related factors. Health organizations use patient satisfaction surveys through which patients provide their perceptions and feedback on the quality of care they receive during their hospital stays. Patient satisfaction is used to give health organizations an idea about the level of the services they provide and identify whether any limitations or gaps exist in the services that could be improved.

5.1. Limitations

The study has several limitations, including the inability to generalize its findings to a broader population due to the use of only two provinces in Saudi Arabia (Riyadh and Medina). However, participants were recruited from five different hospitals in multiple settings in those two provinces. Moreover, convenience sampling might increase the possibility of under‐representation of the target population.

6. CONCLUSION

This study aimed to assess patient satisfaction with the quality of the nursing care provided to them during their hospital stay in different hospitals in Saudi Arabia. The results reflect a high level of patient satisfaction with the quality of nursing care in the studied hospitals. The quality of nursing practice in Saudi Arabia was influenced by several factors. Continuous investigation of nursing practice efficiency is needed. Therefore, appraising patients' satisfaction with nursing practice efficiency during hospitalization in Saudi Arabia is recommended, considering demographic variations. In some cases, patients are unable to provide holistic judgement about nursing care, such as those with low education levels. Therefore, we recommend that future research focus on patients with high judgmental skills, such as nurses or others with medical backgrounds, to evaluate nursing care.

A nursing research paper is a work of academic writing composed by a nurse or nursing student. The paper may present information on a specific topic or answer a question.

During LPN/LVN and RN programs, most papers you write focus on learning to use research databases, evaluate appropriate resources, and format your writing with APA style. You'll then synthesize your research information to answer a question or analyze a topic.

BSN , MSN , Ph.D., and DNP programs also write nursing research papers. Students in these programs may also participate in conducting original research studies.

Writing papers during your academic program improves and develops many skills, including the ability to:

• Select nursing topics for research
• Conduct effective research
• Analyze published academic literature
• Format and cite sources
• Synthesize data
• Organize and articulate findings

About Nursing Research Papers

When do nursing students write research papers.

You may need to write a research paper for any of the nursing courses you take. Research papers help develop critical thinking and communication skills. They allow you to learn how to conduct research and critically review publications.

That said, not every class will require in-depth, 10-20-page papers. The more advanced your degree path, the more you can expect to write and conduct research. If you're in an associate or bachelor's program, you'll probably write a few papers each semester or term.

Do Nursing Students Conduct Original Research?

Most of the time, you won't be designing, conducting, and evaluating new research. Instead, your projects will focus on learning the research process and the scientific method. You'll achieve these objectives by evaluating existing nursing literature and sources and defending a thesis.

However, many nursing faculty members do conduct original research. So, you may get opportunities to participate in, and publish, research articles.

Example Research Project Scenario:

In your maternal child nursing class, the professor assigns the class a research paper regarding developmentally appropriate nursing interventions for the pediatric population. While that may sound specific, you have almost endless opportunities to narrow down the focus of your writing. 

You could choose pain intervention measures in toddlers. Conversely, you can research the effects of prolonged hospitalization on adolescents' social-emotional development.

What Does a Nursing Research Paper Include?

Your professor should provide a thorough guideline of the scope of the paper. In general, an undergraduate nursing research paper will consist of:

Introduction : A brief overview of the research question/thesis statement your paper will discuss. You can include why the topic is relevant.

Body : This section presents your research findings and allows you to synthesize the information and data you collected. You'll have a chance to articulate your evaluation and answer your research question. The length of this section depends on your assignment.

Conclusion : A brief review of the information and analysis you presented throughout the body of the paper. This section is a recap of your paper and another chance to reassert your thesis.

The best advice is to follow your instructor's rubric and guidelines. Remember to ask for help whenever needed, and avoid overcomplicating the assignment!

How to Choose a Nursing Research Topic

The sheer volume of prospective nursing research topics can become overwhelming for students. Additionally, you may get the misconception that all the 'good' research ideas are exhausted. However, a personal approach may help you narrow down a research topic and find a unique angle.

Writing your research paper about a topic you value or connect with makes the task easier. Additionally, you should consider the material's breadth. Topics with plenty of existing literature will make developing a research question and thesis smoother.

Finally, feel free to shift gears if necessary, especially if you're still early in the research process. If you start down one path and have trouble finding published information, ask your professor if you can choose another topic.

The Best Research Topics for Nursing Students

You have endless subject choices for nursing research papers. This non-exhaustive list just scratches the surface of some of the best nursing research topics.

1. Clinical Nursing Research Topics

• Analyze the use of telehealth/virtual nursing to reduce inpatient nurse duties.
• Discuss the impact of evidence-based respiratory interventions on patient outcomes in critical care settings.
• Explore the effectiveness of pain management protocols in pediatric patients.

2. Community Health Nursing Research Topics

• Assess the impact of nurse-led diabetes education in Type II Diabetics.
• Analyze the relationship between socioeconomic status and access to healthcare services.

Tips for Writing a Nursing Research Paper

The best nursing research advice we can provide is to follow your professor's rubric and instructions. However, here are a few study tips for nursing students to make paper writing less painful:

Avoid procrastination: Everyone says it, but few follow this advice. You can significantly lower your stress levels if you avoid procrastinating and start working on your project immediately.

Plan Ahead: Break down the writing process into smaller sections, especially if it seems overwhelming. Give yourself time for each step in the process.

Research: Use your resources and ask for help from the librarian or instructor. The rest should come together quickly once you find high-quality studies to analyze.

Outline: Create an outline to help you organize your thoughts. Then, you can plug in information throughout the research process. 

Clear Language: Use plain language as much as possible to get your point across. Jargon is inevitable when writing academic nursing papers, but keep it to a minimum.

Cite Properly: Accurately cite all sources using the appropriate citation style. Nursing research papers will almost always implement APA style. Check out the resources below for some excellent reference management options.

Revise and Edit: Once you finish your first draft, put it away for one to two hours or, preferably, a whole day. Once you've placed some space between you and your paper, read through and edit for clarity, coherence, and grammatical errors. Reading your essay out loud is an excellent way to check for the 'flow' of the paper.

Helpful Nursing Research Writing Resources:

Purdue OWL (Online writing lab) has a robust APA guide covering everything you need about APA style and rules.

Grammarly helps you edit grammar, spelling, and punctuation. Upgrading to a paid plan will get you plagiarism detection, formatting, and engagement suggestions. This tool is excellent to help you simplify complicated sentences.

Mendeley is a free reference management software. It stores, organizes, and cites references. It has a Microsoft plug-in that inserts and correctly formats APA citations.

Don't let nursing research papers scare you away from starting nursing school or furthering your education. Their purpose is to develop skills you'll need to be an effective nurse: critical thinking, communication, and the ability to review published information critically.

Choose a great topic and follow your teacher's instructions; you'll finish that paper in no time.

The Unique Burial of a Child of Early Scythian Time at the Cemetery of Saryg-Bulun (Tuva)

<< Previous page

Pages:  379-406

In 1988, the Tuvan Archaeological Expedition (led by M. E. Kilunovskaya and V. A. Semenov) discovered a unique burial of the early Iron Age at Saryg-Bulun in Central Tuva. There are two burial mounds of the Aldy-Bel culture dated by 7th century BC. Within the barrows, which adjoined one another, forming a figure-of-eight, there were discovered 7 burials, from which a representative collection of artifacts was recovered. Burial 5 was the most unique, it was found in a coffin made of a larch trunk, with a tightly closed lid. Due to the preservative properties of larch and lack of air access, the coffin contained a well-preserved mummy of a child with an accompanying set of grave goods. The interred individual retained the skin on his face and had a leather headdress painted with red pigment and a coat, sewn from jerboa fur. The coat was belted with a leather belt with bronze ornaments and buckles. Besides that, a leather quiver with arrows with the shafts decorated with painted ornaments, fully preserved battle pick and a bow were buried in the coffin. Unexpectedly, the full-genomic analysis, showed that the individual was female. This fact opens a new aspect in the study of the social history of the Scythian society and perhaps brings us back to the myth of the Amazons, discussed by Herodotus. Of course, this discovery is unique in its preservation for the Scythian culture of Tuva and requires careful study and conservation.

Keywords: Tuva, Early Iron Age, early Scythian period, Aldy-Bel culture, barrow, burial in the coffin, mummy, full genome sequencing, aDNA

Hands up if you’re ready to be dazzled! From a ceremony structure designed to float on water to a jaw-dropping reception room with flowers blooming from every service, we’re swooning over every bit of this wedding. If you can believe it, that’s just the beginning. Julia Kaptelova artfully shot every detail, like the ballet performance guests were treated to and snow falling from the ceiling for the first dance! Prepare to be amazed and take a visit to the full gallery .

From About You Decor … Our design is a symbol of dawn and a distant endless horizon. Ahead is a long, happy life without any borders. An international couple, Pavel and Cherry, met in London and have been walking together for many years.

From the Bride, Cherry… My husband and I we decided to have our summer wedding in Moscow because the city is where his roots are. As we knew we were going to have the other wedding ceremony in China, we wanted our Moscow one to be very personal and intimate. We’ve known each other since we were fourteen, together with many of our friends whom we’ve also known for a decade.

I didn’t want to walk down the aisle twice so the plausibility of my request quickly came into discussion. The open pontoon stage was constructed in order to facilitate the bridal entrance on water, although there were concerns about safety as the last thing we wanted was probably a drowned bride before she could get on stage, picture that! I have to say on that day it wasn’t easy to get on the pontoon stage from the boat, in my long gown and high heels. Luckily my bridesmaids still noticed even though they stood the furthest from me on the stage, and helped me out without prior rehearsal. My girls could just tell whenever I needed a hand or maybe they were just so used to my clumsiness. Who knows 😂

We all love our photographer Julia! She’s so talented and her style is so unique. Our beloved host Alex is exceptional who made everyone laugh and cry. It was truly a blessing to have so many kind and beautiful souls on our big day. Thank you all!

I’m still not convinced this Moscow wedding, captured to perfection by  Sonya Khegay , isn’t actually an inspiration session—it’s just  that breathtaking. From the beautiful Bride’s gorgeous lace wedding dress and flawless hair and makeup to the pretty pastel color palette and stunning ceremony and reception spaces, this wedding is almost too good to be true. Do yourself a favor and see it all in The Vault now!

From Sonya Khegay … It was the last day of April and still very cold in the morning. The weather forecast wasn’t pleasing and no one expected that the sun would come out, but miracles happen and light rain gave way to the warm rays.

I love how all the details went together, you could feel the harmony in everything throughout the entire wedding day from the morning until the fireworks.

A gentle look of the bride, elegant but so airy and unique decor, the fresh and light atmosphere of early spring and, of course, true happiness in the eyes. My heart becomes so warm from these memories, it is always a pleasure to see the birth of a new family of two loving hearts.

You really can’t go wrong with simple: a beautiful Bride , perfectly pretty petals , loved ones all around. But add in an amazing firework show  to cap off the night and simple just became downright extraordinary. Captured by Lena Elisseva , with assistance by  Katya Butenko , this rustic Russian celebration is simply fantastic. See it all in the Vault right here !

From Lena Eliseeva Photo …  This cozy and warm summer wedding of gorgeous Natalia and Anton was in the middle of June. The young couple decided to organize their wedding themselves, and the day was very personal and touching. I am absolutely in love with rustic outdoor weddings, and this one is my favourite because of the free and easy atmosphere.

All the decor excluding the bride’s bouquet was made by a team of ten friends of the bride and groom. And it was charming – a light and beautiful arch, eco-style polygraphy and succulents, candy-bar with caramel apples and berries – sweet joys of summer.

At the end of ceremony the guests tossed up white handkerchiefs embroidered by Natalia’s own hands.

The most touching moment was the happy eyes of the groom’s grandmother, the most estimable person on the wedding. And the fireworks were a bright end to that beautiful day.

These photos from Lena Kozhina are so stunningly beautiful – as in you can’t help but stop and stare – it’s hard to believe it’s real life. But these pics are proof of this gorgeous Bride and her handsome Groom’s celebration at Moscow’s Fox Lodge , surrounded by vibrant colors and breathtaking blooms . Oh, and the idea of prepping for your Big Day outside in the sun ? Brilliant. See more bright ideas right here !

From Lena Kozhina … When we met with the couple for the first time, we immediately paid attention to Dima’s behavior towards Julia. There was a feeling of tenderness and awe, and we immediately wanted to recreate this atmosphere of love, care and warmth on their Big Day.

Later, when we had chosen a green meadow and an uncovered pavilion overlooking a lake as the project site, it only highlighted a light summer mood with colorful florals and a great number of natural woods. The name of the site is Fox Lodge and peach-orange color, as one of the Bride’s favorites, set the tone for the whole design – from the invitations, in which we used images of fox cubs to elements of serving guest tables and other decorative elements with the corresponding bright accents.
