Description (research paper – 14-16 pages (including references) and 14-16 references -30% of grade): The following is a possible approach to your research paper, but do not feel limited to this approach. It is more important that you produce a high-quality research paper related to nursing and spirituality:
Present a final paper that integrates the first two phases and includes a proposal for impacting the chosen element of nursing theory or practice with a robust concept of spirituality (15-18 pp., 30% of the final course grade).
Research project topics may include but are not limited to:
Spirituality as it might impact nursing theory or practice. This may be a reflection of your own spiritual tradition, or it may be a reflection of a broader more generic concept of spirituality. What is your understanding of spirituality from your readings (books and articles) and discussions in this class? Do you have a religious as well as a philosophical understanding of spirituality? What are the strengths and/or limitations of your definition of spirituality? How might it be useful in research? How might it be useful in clinical settings?
Spirituality as understood in the nursing theory that you intend to use in your dissertation/ translational research project. Contrast it with spirituality as understood in another nursing theory (grand theorists Johnson, King, Levine, Neuman, Orem, Rogers, Roy, or midrange theorists, etc.).
How might a robust definition of spirituality speak to the topic of your dissertation/translational research project or some nursing issue of your choice
Integrate the previous sections of the paper and give some conclusions.
Paper must meet APA standards.
