Nursing Research

This department is among the most dynamic within the institute. Numerous faculty members and students have secured grants from research organizations, including RGUHS, Bengaluru, and BLDE (DU), Vijayapura, to support and advance their research activities. Research is a systematic process of inquiry aimed at discovering, interpreting, and revising facts, theories, and applications across various fields. It is integral to advancing knowledge, improving practices, and addressing real-world problems.

Research contributes to expanding the boundaries of knowledge by exploring new areas or deepening understanding in existing fields. It addresses practical problems and challenges by developing new solutions or improving current practices. Research provides the evidence needed to inform and guide practices, policies, and decision-making in various disciplines.

Focuses on understanding fundamental principles and theories without immediate practical application. It aims to build a foundation of knowledge. Targets specific, practical problems with the goal of finding solutions or improving processes and products. studies that explore medical and health-related questions, often with the aim of improving patient care and outcomes. Bridges the gap between laboratory findings and practical applications, translating scientific discoveries into real-world solutions.

Vision

To provide diverse learning opportunities that enable the development of skilled community health nurses and responsible citizens who excel in community service, family and individual care, education, and research.
