APA, Harvard, Chicago).
AIM OF STUDY
List your primary aim +/- secondary aim(s). You can use bullet points if you want.
LITTERATURE REVIEW
This section will give an overview of the existing scientific literature on your topic. It should
enable us to identify what is knows and the gaps. Most of the time, it should not be lengthy (2/3
to 1 page) can be adequate for most studies. If your study is more complex and more concepts
needs to be explained, it can be longer.
DESIGN AND METHOD
You may write this section as a continuous paragraph, but make sure to include all the elements
below, according to your study design.
Design
Describe the design of your study (e.g. cross-sectional observation study, qualitative study,
retrospective chart review, interventional study).
Population
Inclusion
E.g., children from birth to 14 years of age, patient diagnosed with sickle-cell disease, able to
consent independently

Exclusion
Do not write the contrary of your inclusion criteria. These are different criteria. E.g., patient is
clinically unstable, patient has severe cognitive deficits, has a specific condition or is taking a
specific medication.
Sample Size and Sample Selection
▪
For a quantitative study: include the sample size calculation to achieve power analysis.
▪
For a qualitative study: explain how you will reach data saturation.
▪
For a retrospective chart/database/registry study: indicate the exact period covered by the
review (DD-MM-YYYY to DD-MM-YYYY).
Sources of Data
List all sources from where you will get your data (e.g., sociodemographic and clinical data will
be retrieved from the medical record, satisfaction scored will be gathered through Questionnaire
X)
For a quantitative study:
▪
Make a table in the Appendix and list all the variable that will be measured and their unit of
measure.
▪
If a questionnaire/tool/scale is used: describe briefly the instrument (goal, length, #item,
duration to complete) and it psychometric properties (fidelity, validity), if available. If a
translated version is use, it should be already validated unless you plan to validate the tool,
then you need to explain how. You must also contact the original authors to get permission
to use a tool unless there is a mention that it not required. Attached the license agreement
or the email with the author’s permission.
For a qualitative study:
▪
Describe how you will collect the data (e.g., semi-structured interviews).
▪
Put the list of your questions in an Appendix. (in Arabic as well, if they will be interviewed in
Arabic)
DATA COLLECTION
How and where the data will be collected?
DESCRIPTION OF THE INTERVENTION
Only for interventional studies. Remove this section, if not applicable.

DATA MANAGEMENT
Where will the data be stored confidentially? (Excel sheet with password). Who has access?
We encourage you to use the free resource REDCap to manage your data. Contact the Nursing
Research team for more information about it. It makes everything simpler for most studies.
STATISTICAL CONSIDERATIONS
▪
For a quantitative study: Planned statistical analyses, statistical significance targeted,
statistical software that will be used to analyze the data (e.g., Excel, SPSS). If you need help
with this section, you can contact the Nursing Research team. If your study requires
complex statistical analyses, you can take an appointment on Service Hub with the
Research Concierge.
▪
For a qualitative study: explain how the data will be analyze (framework).
ETHICAL CONSIDERATIONS
▪
Type of consent that will be uses, is a waiver for informed or signed consent is requested?
▪
For any study involving children of 8 years and above, you need to include a Child Assent.
▪
Explain how the confidentiality will be maintain.
▪
If your study can cause any type of discomfort (even mild anxiety when talking about a
sensitive topic), mention it here and how any distress would be addressed.
▪
Consult the “Nursing Knowledge Base” page for more information or contact a Research
Nurse Specialist.
▪
Unless you are doing a retrospective chart/database/registry review, most study need to
have either a full consent or a Participant Information sheet attached to the proposal. You
can find some template on the Knowledge base page for both. Make sure the English/Arabic
language is simple (8th grade level max.)
