In principle, we can choose from the unsolved difficult problems in scientific research, the key points of concentrated research and the hot issues that people pay attention to, or we can choose topics in new fields on the basis of other people's research results. Many books have introduced this discussion. Here, let's talk about two ways that nursing authors tend to ignore.

(1) Select a topic from academic information. The biggest feature of modern society is informatization, and people use information explosion to describe the phenomenon of information surge. As a researcher, if he makes full use of information and is good at capturing information for his own use, his research ideas will be greatly broadened. Academic information can be documents published in periodicals and books, academic reports of seminars, and even news reports. Science is a link between the past and the future, and academic exchange is to promote the in-depth research. From the literature, we can find problems that need to be studied, and we will also get tips on topics when communicating with others.

For example, in the article "Pollution of Chemical Disinfectants on Operating Room Air", the author pointedly pointed out that when chemical disinfectants are widely used, the pollutants discharged by them will pollute the operating room air, and confirmed this judgment with scientific experiments, and discussed the methods to overcome the pollution. Read the full text carefully. Point 4 "Preventive measures" contains a new topic. For example, "4.2 improving ventilation conditions in operating rooms" can further study how to solve the problems of ventilation and air purification. How long will ventilation not affect air disinfection, but also minimize air pollution? Another example is "4.3 Strengthening management and selecting suitable chemical disinfectants", which puts forward a series of problems such as the variety, dosage and placement of chemical disinfectants, and also puts forward the replacement of chemical disinfectants.

Rethinking the literature and reorganizing the information is the way for many researchers to choose the topic. It is said that newspaper clipping companies have mushroomed in some cities in the south. They collate and summarize the news in red newspapers and sell them to factories and enterprises. The survival and development of enterprises depend on information. There is a company in Japan that produces children's underwear. I read a news in the newspaper that 2.5 million babies are born every year in Japan, so I thought, if each baby uses two diapers every day, the daily demand will be 5 million, so I will immediately switch to producing diapers. So far, production and cutting are booming. Entrepreneurs can learn from their success.

(2) Choose a topic from the major policies of the country. To develop nursing science, we must integrate into the national policy, understand the national policy and actively serve the national health work. 1Decision of the Central Committee and the State Council on Health Reform and Development promulgated by the state on June 5, 1997 points out the objectives and guiding ideology of health work, points out the principles of "focusing on improving people's health level" and "gradually meeting people's diversified needs", "actively developing community health services" and "health institutions should establish responsibility, incentive and restraint, orderly competition and competition through reform and strict management. There are three references in the Decision to fully mobilize the enthusiasm of health personnel. These are important guidelines for nursing research. With the acceleration of work, urbanization and population aging, the society calls for health services and community health services. According to the experience of many countries, the main force of community health service is nurses, but in China, the nursing community has not really set foot in this field. Tuxedo should be given topics, scientific research should be given priority, and nursing staff should learn to find topics from national policies to obtain policy support for expanding the field of learning and production.

How can I choose a good topic?

A good topic is a topic that can be discussed and valuable, that is, a topic that readers are interested in and can be clearly discussed in an article, plus correct, novel and well-founded opinions. This is the goal of the topic selection. The motivation of topic selection activities lies in finding problems, because finding problems can find research goals; If you find a problem, you can talk about it. The problem is the source of the topic. Many people are confused that there are no problems to choose from. In fact, it is due to lack of observation and discovery. Mr. Lu Xun once said: "Don't write after reading, observe, study and strive for perfection. Even the most common thing can create its vitality. " . This is very enlightening for the topic selection. The topic should be arguable, that is, the scope of the topic should be moderate and the topic is too big, so it is difficult to discuss it clearly and write it thoroughly in a paper. Because the topic is big and involves a wide range, it is inevitable that the truth is abstract, which may be true, but readers will feel far away. For example, the article "Rehabilitation Nursing of Fracture Patients" is divided into three levels: fracture rehabilitation must be holistic rehabilitation; Clinical rehabilitation is first of all basic nursing; Rehabilitation must be trained under guidance. It is not easy to discuss these three issues separately. Because the topic is too big, it is difficult for the author to grasp the cutting angle. Don't be too small. The obvious problem is simple and difficult to discuss. Forcibly sending papers is suspected of making a mountain out of a molehill. The arguable topic should also consider the guiding factor of the topic, that is, the topic should not exceed the scope of the topic research. If the problems that are not the research of nursing discipline are published in nursing professional journals, it will mislead readers and is not conducive to the healthy development of the discipline. For example, some authors send articles about the preparation, pharmacology and therapeutic effect of a drug to nursing journals. Because nursing majors pay more attention to drug observation and ensuring curative effect, such articles are not suitable for publication in nursing journals. The principle of "arguable" is that the nursing discipline should solve problems and select topics according to the purpose of the nursing discipline. No matter how good the work content is, it is difficult to arouse the voices of colleagues.
