In this report I will be explaining the different factors of research which is carried out within a health and social care environment. I also will be showing different people opinion on the subject; as well as showing examples.
Research uses several different factors in the achieving the best results. This is an investigation in to a subject as well as the study of materials and sources in order to be able to establish the facts and to reach conclusion. This is important as it allows people to learn new things like people and events. By doing research it allows us to gather enough information to make the correct decision. It helps you improve your knowledge on the subject you are researching. An example of subjects which is researched every day is cancer, diabetes, genetics and others. These are subject’s which still haven’t been fully understood by a person. Therefore more research would need to be done to be able to act on the situation. Even though the nurses might not be able to get rid of the problem it helps them be able to come to terms and treat the problem effectively. An example of this is a doctor checking the patients medical history. This could be something like Breast Cancer which could run through the family tree. The way a nurse would check for this is to touch patients breasts to see if they can feel anything unusual. They would also look to see the shape or texture has changed. They would do this to see if they can see the signs before it has had chance to progress. Therefore allowing the patient to recieve the treatment which is needed the ealier than they would if the signs hadnt been spotted. The nurse would ask the patient about their medical and family history. If the patients history shows that a family member has suffered from breast cancer in the past the chance of them obtaining the disese is higher than a patient without it in their family history. They would check the medical history to see if any of the medication which they
