Content
This unit is the second in a sequence of two that comprise the undertaking of a research project and preparation of an individual research thesis in the area of nursing practice. Students are required to outline their research project proposal and prepare drafts of the early chapters for their thesis as a requirement of HNR412. They are also required to discuss their topic with the School of Nursing and Midwifery's academic staff before submitting the proposal for HREC approval. The topic of research should be consistent with the School’s current research program and may reflect the student's particular area of interest; and clearly related to the theoretical material presented in the supporting units.
