forms backbone of a good
research
• very important in
unraveling the mysteries of
nature and providing
insight into a problem
• to building up of an
appropriate hypothesis .
• Aims: to explore an existing
uncertainty in an area
of concern and points to a
need for deliberate
investigation.

BRAINSTORM/CONCEPT MAP FOR FORMULATING

RESEARCH QUESTION
1. identify what types of studies have been
done in the past?
2. Is there a unique area that is yet to be
investigated or is there a particular
question that may be worth replicating?
3. Begin to narrow the topic by asking
open-ended “how” and “why” questions
4. Evaluate the question
5. Develop a Hypothesis (Hs)

www.psik.fk.ub.ac.id (Ratan, Anand, & Ratan, 2019 Page 17

Jurusan Keperawatan Universitas Brawijaya

Fakultas Kedokteran

WRITE DOWN THE RQ.

1. State the question in your own words

2. Write down the RQ as completely as
possible.
3. Divide your question into concepts.
Narrow to two or three concepts
4. Specify the population to be studied
5. Refer to the exposure or intervention to
be investigated, if any
6. Reflect the outcome of interest

OTHER IMPORTANT POINTS TO BE HEEDED TO WHILE

FRAMING RESEARCH QUESTION
a. Make reference to a population when a relationship is
expected among a certain type of subjects
b. RQs and Hs should be made as specific as possible
c. Avoid words or terms that do not add to the meaning of RQs
and Hs
d. Stick to what will be studied, not implications
e. Name the variables in the order in which they occur/will be
measured
f. Avoid the words significant/”prove”
