Discussion Topic 1 Nursing science contributes to the unique body of knowledge for the nursing profession. Each profession defines what is meant by science that guides the development of knowledge. Though different words are used, there are basically two scientific paradigms: empirical/positivist and constructivist/naturalism. The paradigms align with either quantitative or qualitative research. You have expressed an interest in joining an evidence-based practice (EBP) team at your workplace. It will be important for you to understand your dominant worldview as a team member. • Is your worldview closer to the positivist or the constructivist paradigm? • Explain why and how each paradigm is aligned with either quantitative or qualitative research. • Cite references for all sources in APA 7th ed format. Resources must be from peer reviewed journals. No text books, statpearls, uptodate, medline plus. Must be provider based journals. No nursing journals. Must be within the last 5 years (2018-2023). Use the library or google scholar to find journal articles.
