Nursing process is narrowly focused on the clinical arena; the research process can focus on clinical, educational, and/or professional arenas.
The Research process is more complex than the Nursing process-each of the phases in the research process contains a number of sub-steps; these steps and their order vary by type of study
Research process is also circular process
phase 1: Conceptualize the problem
phase 2: Design the study
phase 3: Implement the design
phase 4: Analyze and interpret the data
phase 5: Use the results
