Happy new week to Y'all. Who is excited about our research session happening on 14/11/25?

06/11/2025

If developing a research problem statement is a concern to you, we aim to address it on 14/11/2025, as part of our seminar series. Yeah!

During this interactive session, we shall explore the different aspects of research problem statement development and seminar attendees will have the opportunity to develop at least one problem statement during the session.

Please note that no registration is required. However, a Zoom access link will be shared on this page some days before the scheduled date to enable easy access to the webinar.

Nurse Pat will be facilitating the session on the day with the support of other team members and great attendees. Thank you very much in anticipation.

Ah! The type of exhaustion I feel today is one that a plate of correct Oha soup and a suitable swallow, washed down with some flavoured-chilled drink will do justice to. I had an impactful research session today, but I am exhausted. I will shade more light on the outcome of the research exercise we had tomorrow - so help me God!

It felt good to read all entries on the previous post I made on research problem.

Following due review, I am pleased to note that all entries were right in many ways, but the one that reflects the basis of a problem statement is the summary by Nr Ashiya Micah.

Her summary informed a good thesis statement, which is usually the starting point of a well-written problem statement. Other entries focused on a research question which is slightly different from a problem statement. This is a good introduction to our next seminar discussion next week for those who want to attend. Thank you for your entries. Congratulations! Congratulations!! Congratulations!!!

Let's do some practical exercise in research!

One way to master research is through practice. Dealing with real/practical problems with some research elements is a good way to perfect one's skills in research and develop competencies therein. Thus, this simulated scenario is for those interested to give it a try, based on research problem development. Do not forget to apply your knowledge of research gaps and philosophies in this process.

Scenario 1:

Ifeoluwa[ not real name] is a nurse working in a mental health unit of a well-known Psychiatric hospital in a local village. She has passion for her job and constantly shows up on time for her work without any excuse. It so happened that one day during one of her night shifts she noticed a patient [ AB (not real name)] carefully hiding an object under his bedsheet. Though Ife, had two other staff on shift with her, the distance between the nursing station and the patient location was about 50meters away, but she was determined to understand this patient's behaviour and related antecedents.

On getting there, she found a piece of a sharp object notable for causing serious injury to any part of the body it is used on. Ife raised alarm quickly as AB made attempt to use this sharp object on her. Help! Help!! Help!!!, she screamed with a loud voice. Despite the obvious distress call, her colleagues hardly heard her call as they were actively busy with other patients.

As a research nurse for this facility, using your general knowledge of nursing care, what possible research problem can you identify from this scenario?

Greg Simon I have 50k gift card for you in appreciation for all you do to support Nurse Pat's activities.

As we wake up daily, we meet people who add value to the quality of life we live. These people come in forms outside the perceived normal;they possess deep qualities that are hard to come by.

One of such persons in my life is Greg Simon - '' Dan Bajju ''as I fondly call him. This gentle man, who now wants to be my official personal assistant[ PA], has been a great source of hope, support, and empowerment for many years.

Though we have not met in person, we relate like siblings and have great respect for each other. Greg attends our activities, signposts me to great resources and more with all his heart and soul. He has been a great volunteer to us and many other organisations he supports. He is kind, caring, compassionate, trustworthy, and above all understanding. He knows how to manage people with variable expectations and that is a great skill to have.

Greg can encourage somebody for Africa. When I started this page, I feared many things because I like to keep to myself. I disliked being in the faces of people let alone talk on social media. As someone who finds strength in my quiet corner with some books, social media was not in my thought frame, but when life made it a necessity, Greg stepped in powerfully. After due discussions, he said, ''PJ, you can do this.'' To prove his point, Greg went on to campaign for this page in ways I never imagined, giving me the sort of support good siblings offer.

Today, though busy, he still supports me as my self-acclaimed PA, which is a blessing in many ways. Greg Simon, this is me, PJ, appreciating you for being kind and supportive. May your support be rewarded in full and may your heart desire be met in ways you never expect. May you find peace, happiness, and stability in all you do. May your light shine brighter daily and may you find all your heart desires including [ Uwardaki -hahaha]. Thank you for being a great person with a good heart in a world where people take pride in doing the opposite.
