Are you ready to earn your online nursing degree?
Writing a thesis presents an opportunity for graduate students to conduct scholarly inquiry, with the potential of publishing their finished paper. A thesis requires nursing students to identify a problem in nursing, and review academic literature while developing advanced research skills. Thesis advisors and committees guide students from the proposal phase to the final oral defense, a process that spans about two semesters.
Not every nursing student is required to complete a thesis. Some nursing programs offer a non-thesis option, in which candidates complete a final capstone project or oral examination on topics such as nursing theories and clinical practices.
The thesis process and requirements vary by school. Ohio State University’s master of science in nursing program’s final examination includes oral and written portions.
Want to know what to expect during the thesis process? Read on to learn how you can choose a thesis topic and orally defend your paper.
Choosing Your Nursing Thesis Topic
Nursing students must choose a thesis topic before they begin the research and writing process, typically within the first two terms of nursing school. A solid thesis must present an original argument, manageable research scope, and worthy academic pursuit. A thesis advisor or research professor will help to guide each student through the process of choosing a topic.
In the conceptual phase, candidates research potential thesis topics based on their interests within their nursing specialty. Students may start with a broad topic such as obesity and weight management, depression, or cardiovascular disease. To narrow their thesis argument, graduate students might focus on racial or ethnic groups, socio-economic issues, or current events.
After settling on a topic, students draft and submit a thesis proposal to an advisor or committee chair. Once this proposal has been approved, students can begin the formal work on his or her approved thesis topic.
While graduate students must complete a thesis to fulfill the requirements of a master’s degree in nursing, the thesis process also offers a chance for future nurses to immerse themselves in current academic literature and collaborate with fellow graduate students, faculty, and professors. A thesis can also serve as the foundation for doctoral studies. A thesis at the doctoral (PhD) level is called a dissertation.
Completing Your Nursing Thesis
Brainstorming a thesis topic begins as early as the first semester of a master’s in nursing program. The formal thesis process, which typically spans multiple terms, does not take place until the student’s final year, usually during the last term.
Thesis requirements vary by school, and students must meet specific deadlines and take prerequisite courses beforehand. At the University of Texas-Houston’s School of Nursing , candidates take a public health class before they submit a thesis proposal.
Future nurses work under the guidance of a thesis committee and advisor. The experience of writing a thesis trains students in original investigation, data collection, implementing research design, and public speaking. Candidates also learn to flex their analytical thinking skills and master a specific area of nursing as they develop the ability to analyze and draw conclusions through data.
At a program’s conclusion, students submit their thesis as a bound manuscript or electronic file. In addition to submitting a written report, students orally defend their final thesis in front of the committee. Many graduates also submit their manuscripts for publication.
Presenting Your Nursing Thesis
Graduate students generally orally defend their proposal and present their completed thesis in front of their committee. This committee also includes the thesis mentor, a faculty member specializing in the nursing discipline of their scholarly inquiry. There are generally 3 total committee members on a thesis committee.
Fellow graduate students or consultants outside of the college may attend presentations, if the process is open to the public. Otherwise, the thesis defense remains a private session, with students presenting their findings. The oral examination of the thesis takes up to one hour, but can last longer depending on how many questions the committee has for the student.
During that time, the committee evaluates the thesis based on how the research experience has shaped the student’s graduate education and the findings’ significance to the nursing field. When the exam concludes, the committee either accepts or rejects the thesis defense.
How is a Nursing Thesis Graded?
Nursing schools rely on each committee to formally grade each product in the thesis process. Some graduate nursing students may receive a letter grade, while other nursing schools adhere to a “pass” or “fail” policy.
To determine a grade, the committee assesses the thesis based on set criteria. Committee members look at the project’s key components, including the statement of purpose, literature review, research methodology, analysis, findings, and implications. The process and grading criteria for the thesis process can be found in the school’s graduate handbook. Most of these handbooks are published online for student review.
The thesis must identify significant issues or service gaps in nursing and present them in a concise and coherent fashion. Candidates must support all findings and analysis by research and explain the implications for healthcare.
The oral defense also factors into the grade. The committee grades the defense based on the quality of the student’s presentation, taking into consideration if the student spoke clearly and presented a logical and well-organized argument.
What is the Difference Between a Nursing Thesis and a Capstone?
A nursing thesis and a capstone demonstrate the student’s comprehensive knowledge and educational journey. Graduate students in a non-research track may have the choice of completing a clinical project. Doctoral of Nursing ( DNP ) students complete a capstone project.
Graduate-level nursing students work on an original scholarly inquiry during their thesis, while undergraduates recap their cumulative learning experience. The thesis process, which includes completing nursing courses and writing a proposal, takes place over the entire program.

- No Thumbnail Available Item Data Mining Teen Narratives on Reddit: Revealing Insights in Cyber Victimization Experiences ( 2024-07 ) Antisdel, J'Andra Lashay ; Miller, Wendy Trueblood ; Ellis, Rebecca Bartlett ; Jones, Josette ; Carter, Gregory A. ; Oruche, Ukamaka Show more As teens increasingly turn to the internet and social media for entertainment and social connection, they are faced with increasingly dangerous situations as technology advances and aggressors seek to harm and exploit victims online. This qualitative study used data mining and Word Adjacency Graphing (WAG), a type of computational analysis, with the aim of analyzing how teens on Reddit describe and discuss their experiences of cyber victimization. WAG modeling allowed for an examination of public, unsolicited teen narratives revealing patterns and alarming insights that were identified in six themes, including psychological impact, coping and healing, protecting yourself online, protecting yourself offline, victimization across various settings, and seeking meaning and understanding. These themes encompassed the impact of cyber victimization and its profound effects on the mental and emotional well-being of teens, emphasizing the importance of updated assessment methods and a trauma-informed approach in healthcare settings. In addition, the trauma expressed by teens highlighted the importance of recognizing cyber victimization as a serious adverse event impacting mental health. This approach would encourage open discussions, validate teens’ experiences, and focus on understanding and responding to the impact of trauma. The findings call for comprehensive strategies in healthcare to screen and assess for cyber victimization effectively, thereby supporting and empowering teens in overcoming these traumatic experiences.

- No Thumbnail Available Item The Relationship Between Instrumental Activities of Daily Living and Hospitalizations: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis ( 2024-07 ) Collins, Jason Joseph ; Newhouse, Robin P. ; Levoy, Krisin ; Basile, David P. ; Jung, Miyeon Show more Instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) have been defined as the activities for which their performance is necessary for continued independent living arrangements and that are more complex than routine activities of daily living. Evidence has reported the presence of IADL impairments in patients discharging from hospital. However, there is little research evaluating the role of IADLs as a modifiable risk factor in preventing hospitalizations among high-risk groups, such as heart failure. This oversight leaves gaps in discharge planning, in connecting patients to needed services that address impaired IADLs. The purpose of this dissertation was to improve knowledge of the relationship between IADLs and hospitalizations by: 1) describing the theory that underpins the relationship between IADLs and hospitalizations; 2) completing a systematic review to narratively synthesize the state of use of IADL scales across studies examining hospitalizations among high-risk groups (i.e., heart failure); 3) completing a meta-analysis to estimate the overall association between IADLs and hospitalizations among the high-risk groups; 4) conducting tests of moderation using meta-analytic techniques to determine whether the overall association between IADLs and hospitalizations varied based on certain IADL scale characteristics (e.g., number of components). Founded upon the Theory of Self-Care of Chronic Illness, the systematic search produced 4,932 articles, with 23 meeting criteria. The systematic review revealed that IADL discussions have been present in healthcare literature internationally since 1969; significant heterogeneity exists in the number of IADL components; the legacy work of Lawton and Brody (1969) remains prevalent but not panoptic; and IADLs have been studied in a wide variety of illnesses. The meta-analysis revealed that IADL impairments were positively associated with hospitalizations (OR=1.40, 95% CI: 1.24, 1.58; k=22, p<.001). Tests of moderation indicated that the IADL scale (QM=0.496, p=0.481) and item composition (QM=0.189, p=0.664) did not explain variation among effect sizes, indicating that the IADL scale formulation did not impact the relationship between IADLs deficits and hospitalizations. This dissertation provides compelling evidence that assessing IADLs may yield a significant opportunity to identify modifiable risk factors to reduce hospitalization. More work is needed to standardize IADL measurement at discharge to identify patients at high risk. Show more
- No Thumbnail Available Item Symptom Clusters and Self-Management in Adolescents with Inflammatory Bowel Disease ( 2024-07 ) Malloy, Caeli Louise ; Miller, Wendy Trueblood ; Rawl, Susan ; Kroenke, Kurt ; Monahan, Patrick ; Steiner, Steven Show more Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) encompasses a range of chronic conditions, including Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, that cause intestinal inflammation and wide-ranging, debilitating symptoms. Adolescents and young adults represent the peak age group diagnosed with IBD. For individuals with IBD, engaging in effective disease self-management and symptom management is crucial to supporting quality of life. However, youth are often ill-equipped to handle the challenges of managing a chronic condition in the context of the typical developmental challenges of adolescence and young adulthood. This dissertation explored self-management challenges and symptoms in adolescents and young adults with IBD. First, an integrative review of the literature on symptom clusters in individuals with IBD was conducted. Results revealed that symptom clusters remain an understudied phenomenon in IBD research, illuminating a gap in current understanding of the symptom experience of individuals with IBD. Second, the self-management challenges of adolescents with IBD were explored in a thematic analysis of 83 posts made in an online IBD support community. Six emerging themes about self-management challenges were identified: Desire for Normalcy; Dietary Changes; Education and Career; Healthcare System; Relationships with Others; and Symptoms and Complications. Results underscored the ways in which IBD self-management challenges permeate every aspect of life for adolescents living with the condition. Finally, a cross-sectional survey of symptoms and self-management was conducted in 105 adolescents 13-17 years old with IBD. Through latent class analysis, three symptom cluster profiles were identified: a high symptom burden profile, a low symptom burden profile, and a low energy profile. Regression analysis revealed significant demographic and self-management predictors of symptom profile membership. The results of these studies will guide future research to develop and test theoretically grounded, tailored self-management interventions aimed at promoting effective symptom management and enhancing quality of life in adolescents with IBD.

Background : Use of Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) has become the standard for medical information management and exchange amongst acute care hospitals in the United States. The Epic® electronic medical record has been identified as a popular EMR software for adoption by many healthcare organizations. Associated with the adoption of this technology is a large investment in training medical professionals on its specific processes.
Local Problem : In the outpatient, primary care setting of a hospital in New England, the adoption of Epic® has come with much fear and resistance regarding the ability of nursing staff to efficiently learn and accept the new technology. This was confirmed through the analysis of an anonymous pre-intervention survey by nursing staff, majority of whom were over the age of 50. The pre-intervention survey showed that the perceived ease of learning Epic® was lowest with a mean of 2.92 (SD 1.15, Range 1-5). The highest mean of 3.76 (SD 1.05, Range 1-5) was noted for the perceived usefulness of Epic®.
Methods : A survey was administered in May 2024 which analyzed nursing perceptions of the Epic® electronic medical record. The survey contained 6 sections: (1) participant demographics, (2) perceived usefulness of Epic®, (3) perceived usability of Epic®, (4) perceived ease of learning Epic®, (5) individual satisfaction with Epic® , (6) free text asking users to solicit the most positive aspects and negative aspects of the EMR, and which aspects of the technology they would like to receive additional training on. Sections 2-5, derived from a standardized questionnaire known as the USE questionnaire (Lund, 2001) were analyzed for mean scoring across all participants. Interventions were made based on responses from the free text responses. The survey was re-administered in July 2024 to compare mean scoring and identify if perceptions of the EMR had improved based on the educational interventions provided.
Interventions : Requests solicited from the free text responses in the pre-intervention survey were analyzed to identify themes and patterns, which would then be used for development of electronic video tutorials created by the project lead. Each tutorial provided a live demonstration of the respective process being executed in the EMR. Videos were then uploaded to a shared digital space where all participants could access for viewing.
Results : Post-intervention survey results measured staff acceptance of the technology across four domains: (1) perceived usefulness, (2), perceived usability, (3) perceived ease of learning, (4) satisfaction with the EMR. Analysis showed a 7.28% increase in staff perceptions towards ease of learning, with a change of aggregate mean from 2.92 to 3.15. All other domains showed a decrease in perceived usefulness, usability, and satisfaction with Epic®, when comparing pre- and post-intervention analysis.
Conclusion : The educational interventions showed an improvement in how nursing staff perceived the software from an ease of learning standpoint, emphasizing its potential to improve perceptions across other domains. To sustain and preserve these teachings, future efforts should be made by leadership to incorporate e-learning in the training of nurses on Epic® and other applicable technology.

A thesis statement is a sentence (or sentences) that expresses the main ideas of your paper and answers the question or questions posed by your paper. It offers your readers a quick and easy to follow summary of what the paper will be discussing and what you as a writer are setting out to tell them. The kind of thesis that your paper will have will depend on the purpose of your writing. This handout will cover general thesis statement tips, explain some of the different types of thesis statements, and provide some links to other resources about writing thesis statements.
General Thesis Statement Tips
A thesis statement generally consists of two parts: your topic, and then the analysis, explanation(s), or assertion(s) that you're making about the topic. The kind of thesis statement you write will depend on what kind of paper you're writing.
In some kinds of writing, such as narratives or descriptions, a thesis statement is less important, but you may still want to provide some kind of statement in your first paragraph that helps to guide your reader through your paper.
A thesis statement is a very specific statement -- it should cover only what you want to discuss in your paper, and be supported with specific evidence. The scope of your paper will be determined by the length of your paper and any other requirements that might be in place.
Generally, a thesis statement appears at the end of the first paragraph of an essay, so that readers will have a clear idea of what to expect as they read.
You can think of your thesis as a map or a guide both for yourself and your audience, so it might be helpful to draw a chart or picture of your ideas and how they're connected to help you get started.
As you write and revise your paper, it's okay to change your thesis statement -- sometimes you don't discover what you really want to say about a topic until you've started (or finished) writing! Just make sure that your "final" thesis statement accurately shows what will happen in your paper.
Analytical Thesis Statements
In an analytical paper, you are breaking down an issue or an idea into its component parts, evaluating the issue or idea, and presenting this breakdown and evaluation to your audience. An analytical thesis statement will explain:
what you are analyzing
the parts of your analysis
the order in which you will be presenting your analysis
Example: An analysis of barn owl flight behavior reveals two kinds of flight patterns: patterns related to hunting prey and patterns related to courtship.
A reader who encountered that thesis in a paper would expect an explanation of the analysis of barn owl flight behavior, and then an explanation of the two kinds of flight patterns.
Questions to ask yourself when writing an analytical thesis statement:
What did I analyze?
What did I discover in my analysis?
How can I categorize my discoveries?
In what order should I present my discoveries?
Expository (Explanatory) Thesis Statements
In an expository paper, you are explaining something to your audience. An expository thesis statement will tell your audience:
what you are going to explain to them
the categories you are using to organize your explanation
the order in which you will be presenting your categories
Example: The lifestyles of barn owls include hunting for insects and animals, building nests, and raising their young.
A reader who encountered that thesis would expect the paper to explain how barn owls hunt for insects, build nests, and raise young.
Questions to ask yourself when writing an expository thesis statement:
What am I trying to explain?
How can I categorize my explanation into different parts?
In what order should I present the different parts of my explanation?
Argumentative Thesis Statements
In an argumentative paper, you are making a claim about a topic and justifying this claim with reasons and evidence. This claim could be an opinion, a policy proposal, an evaluation, a cause-and-effect statement, or an interpretation. However, this claim must be a statement that people could possibly disagree with, because the goal of your paper is to convince your audience that your claim is true based on your presentation of your reasons and evidence. An argumentative thesis statement will tell your audience:
your claim or assertion
the reasons/evidence that support this claim
the order in which you will be presenting your reasons and evidence
Example: Barn owls' nests should not be eliminated from barns because barn owls help farmers by eliminating insect and rodent pests.
A reader who encountered this thesis would expect to be presented with an argument and evidence that farmers should not get rid of barn owls when they find them nesting in their barns.
Questions to ask yourself when writing an argumentative thesis statement:
What is my claim or assertion?
What are the reasons I have to support my claim or assertion?
In what order should I present my reasons?
