Strategies for teaching nursing research. Discovering the creative listening hole.
Creative questioning that is based on nonverbal inner listening can lead to new insights, discoveries, and perspectives. Though very challenging, the mythology of reaching the listening hole can help the student develop an ear for keys or gaps in his or her perceptions about phenomena. It can help develop respect for the rich lode of nursing experience from which researchable questions can be developed. Finally, creative research questioning introduces a new mental discipline that can lead to a fresh perception of nursing practice questions. The value of the process outweighs the risks and difficulties.
