  Scientific research can really help nurses and other frontline workers, especially in places with limited resources. Research helps find better, faster, and cheaper ways to treat patients. For example, it can show which medicines work best or how to prevent the spread of diseases. It can also help create simple tools or methods that nurses can use to save lives, even when they don’t have a lot of equipment. Most importantly, research gives nurses the knowledge and confidence to make good decisions and care for patients more effectively.
