Evidence based emergency nursing: designing a research question and searching the literature

Good research starts with a clear, answerable research question that addresses an important problem or phenomenon of interest (Considine et al., 2015). Research should also be guided by prevailing local, national and international priorities, organisational strategic goals and relevant professional standards. Formulating a specific and answerable research question is often challenging for the beginning researcher (Considine et al., 2015). Observations of clinical practice, deep and considered reflection of personal and clinical experiences, and an inquiring mind are good foundations for well-developed research questions (Considine et al., 2015).
