According to Lopez & Epsnes (2017), the formation of clinical research problems allow for prioritization in researching topics that need to be addressed more readily, thus providing valuable information for future evidence-based studies. Once an area of interest is determined, more focus can be given to identify a problem and its relevance to nursing research.
In the study on self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) experiences of adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), Dlugasch & Ugarriza (2014) did not clearly identify the problem but focused on the efficiency of SMBG for individuals with T2DM who are not using insulin. A qualitative study approach and ground theory design is implemented to re-evaluate patient experiences and understand
