The nurse researcher has been working on a research project for two years. At which point can this researcher say that the work is finished?
1. When the researcher's next study has been proposed.
2. When the financial accounting of costs has been filed.
3. When the final report has been written.
4. When the findings have been published.
3
Rationale 1: There is no indication that this researcher will conduct another study and that study will not have bearing on when the current study can be called complete.
Rationale 2: "Final report has been written" is correct. Costs are reported in a budgetary analysis that may be a component to final documentation that is provided to a funding source and is not part of the final report. Not all research projects are funded by external sources. Many studies are self-funded.
Rationale 3: Researchers have a prime responsibility of communicating research findings and the way the responsibility is fulfilled is by writing a final report in which all components of the study are described and reported.
Rationale 4: Not all research reports are published. Nursing research reports submitted for publication undergo comprehensive review prior to any report being published.
