“Exploring Leadership Competencies of Head Nurses in Hamad Medical Corporation (Qatar) from a Nursing Perspective: A Research Proposal and Plan”

3,500-word research proposal and plan
The purpose of your research proposal is to present the problem you are proposing to investigate, the health problem, to present the reason for studying this (i.e. the gap in knowledge), and for you to describe, explain and justify how you will conduct your study.
The Title is Exploring Leadership competencies of head nurse in Hamad Medical Corporation (Qatar) from a Nursing Perspective.
Assessment Guidance
The following is a suggested structure for the developing the proposal:
Title: A clear title for the research protocol which clearly addresses the variables and concepts that are being researched.
Background: an outline for the key drivers and need for the research proposal. This may include key political, professional, clinical and service user drivers for the research project.
Literature review: a critical discussion of the research literature that forms the foundations for your proposal. This will inform the rationale for the research project and explore how it builds on existing knowledge and /or practice. In other words, your critical reading and summarising of the literature will show what is known, as well as what is not yet known about your particular topic.
Aims and Objectives: a clearly articulated outline of the aims and objectives of the research proposal which will clearly derive from literature review.
Research Question / Hypothesis: Clearly defined question (s) that is specific to the study in order to provide data that will provide answers. The research question or hypothesis will also indicate the kind of empirical evidence which you are proposing to collect. The research question or hypothesis will frame the boundaries of the research project (what it is / isn’t about).
Methodology: This will provide the philosophical and theoretical orientation of the research project that will inform the study design and the methods used to collect data.
Methods: Here you should discuss what we explore in the ‘doing research’ and ‘analysing research data’ parts of the module. You should cover sampling and recruitment strategies, inclusion and exclusion criteria, data collection methods and process for analysing the data. It is important to explore issues of reliability and validity with regard to empirical data and the research process, and the feasibility of carrying out the research. This section will also include a consideration of the key ethical concerns associated with the study together with the strategies and processes that will be implemented to address those concerns. These may relate to issues of confidentiality, anonymity, capacity and consent, vulnerable populations etc.
Limitations of the study: Here name all the biases that may occur during the study.
Timeplan: Using a Gantt chart provide a research timeplan.
