Research Topic Issue

Published

I got my research topic already.. its about emergency room nurses' clinical performance and time management.. i need help/ suggestions..

i constructed my proposed criteria for clinical performance and questionnaire and based it on 11 key areas of nursing responsibilities... i thought it can be used as a measurement for clinical performance..

however, when my professor checked my proposal she said i can retain my questionnaire but instead of clinical performance i should change my topic as "clinical competency".. she said another problem is study on core competencies is already common ... if i chose clinical competency, we will see if panelists will let me go through the study or not on our pre oral defense,..

since i still got time, im thinking of sticking to clinical performance.but im wondering what criteria i can use to measure it....

so what do u think i should go for?clinical competency or clinical performance? if clinical performance, any suggestions for the criteria?

thanks.:)

I think the tools to measure performance present far more problems than competency
