Provides a framework for understanding the history and development of nursing science. The origins of scientific questions and methods of scholarly disciplines are explored. Sources of nursing knowledge, modes of inquiry, and models of scholarship are critically analyzed. Emphasis is placed on the relationship between philosophy, theory, research and practice.

Focuses on conceptual and methodological issues employed in health care research. Emphasizes two and three-way analyses of variance (ANOVA); multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA); repeated measures analysis of variance; linear regression models for continuous and binary outcomes; nonlinear regression models analyzing both epidemiologic and clinical data; path analysis; and factor analysis. Examines violations of model assumptions (multicollinearity, heteroscedasticity, measurement error) with an emphasis on nursing and health care questions and concrete tasks facing an investigator planning and executing a study. Students use the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) for data mining and statistical analyses.

Six-semester sequence orients and socializes the PhD in nursing student to the role of the nurse scholar educator through 1) seminars and forums on scholarship in chronic illness management and nursing education and on research methods; and 2) a formal mentor relationship with a designated research faculty member. This course sequence also addresses the identification of funding sources and the development of grantsmanship skills. The development of this course is guided by the AACN The Research-Focused Doctoral Program in Nursing: Pathways to Excellence (2022) document. This course includes synchronous distance learning through computer-assisted technology.
