Background of the Study
Research methodology training is a critical component of higher education that equips students with the necessary skills to conduct independent research and contribute to their respective fields. In nursing education, this training is particularly important as it allows students to explore evidence-based practices, enhance their critical thinking skills, and generate new knowledge to improve patient care (Adeleke et al., 2023). The ability to conduct research effectively is essential for nursing students, as it not only contributes to academic achievement but also plays a significant role in advancing nursing practice and healthcare outcomes (Ajayi & Suleiman, 2024).
At the University of Calabar Teaching Hospital, nursing students undergo research methodology training as part of their academic curriculum. However, despite this training, there are concerns regarding the impact of such training on students' actual research output, including the quality and quantity of research projects they complete (Oluwaseun et al., 2023). This study seeks to examine how research methodology training influences nursing students' research output and to evaluate the factors that may contribute to or hinder successful research completion.
Statement of the Problem
Although research methodology training is integral to the nursing curriculum, there is limited research on its direct impact on students' research output at the University of Calabar Teaching Hospital. Despite exposure to research methodologies, some students may struggle with applying these techniques effectively, which can result in suboptimal research outcomes. This study aims to address this gap by investigating how research methodology training influences nursing students' ability to produce high-quality research and explore the challenges they encounter.
Objectives of the Study
1. To assess the impact of research methodology training on nursing students' research output at University of Calabar Teaching Hospital.
2. To examine the factors that contribute to successful research completion by nursing students.
3. To propose recommendations for enhancing research methodology training to improve students' research output.
Research Questions
1. How does research methodology training influence nursing students' research output at University of Calabar Teaching Hospital?
2. What challenges do nursing students face in applying research methodology techniques to their research projects?
3. How can the effectiveness of research methodology training be improved to enhance nursing students' research output?
Research Hypotheses
1. Research methodology training significantly improves the research output of nursing students.
2. Nursing students who receive comprehensive research methodology training produce higher-quality research than those with limited training.
3. Enhancing research methodology training will lead to an increase in the quality and quantity of research output among nursing students.
Scope and Limitations of the Study This study will focus on nursing students at University of Calabar Teaching Hospital and evaluate the impact of research methodology training on their research output. Limitations include the variability in students' prior knowledge of research and the differing levels of engagement with research projects.
