Research in Nursing

A first-rate Professional Master’s Degree for the nursing profession that will allow you to broaden your professional horizons"

Humans have always aimed to explain the phenomena happening around us. In this Professional Master's Degree, we will learn to pose questions and doubts correctly in research, apply the scientific method, which is essential  to determine to relate events and confirm causality, or rule out the likelihood of happenstance. 

It will be essential to learn the different research methods and, at a practical level, know how to propose and use the most appropriate one in each situation. We will analyze the advances in care through nursing science, what we know as "evidence-based nursing" It is important to know what clinical trials are, and what differentiates them from other research studies. 

It is also essential to know how to shape the proposed research project, learning the process of writing a research protocol is the letter of introduction to other researchers in the scientific community. When a scientific study is proposed, we start from previous research, which provides our research with support because it is based on statements that have been previously confirmed by other authors and researchers and validated by the scientific community. It is, therefore, vital to know the citation process when making statements in a text. 

A comprehensive review of all the aspects required to carry out a thorough and quality nursing research project. 

This comprehensive program prepares nursing postgraduates in the area of research, offering complete theoretical and practical training in all areas, including related overlapping ones.
