by nurses (Winters & Neville, 2012). As the target population are the nurses, they’re also the participants of the study. The participants reflect the target population, as they’re nurses whom chosen to provide perceptions of the reasons that patient care is being missed. Data was gathered in a setting, where researcher and the interviewee agreed on time and meeting place (Winters & Neville, 2012). In the study, time period of the data collection wasn’t indicated by the researchers. Sampling for the study, was voluntary, as nurses would respond to the study’s advertisement (Winters & Neville, 2012). After the response to the advertisement, sampling of the nurses was further selected based on the following criteria. To proceed with the study, the sampling population had to be RNs, have over twelve months hospital …show more content…
In this study, it indicated whom the participants were, how the sampling population was chosen, sampling criteria, and technique and instrument used to gather data. The instrument used by the researchers was conducting interviews with the participants. To the collect data, interviews would take one hour to complete and would be semi-structured (Winters & Neville, 2012). The procedure was relevant, as utilizing interviews to gather data, identified personal experiences from nurses that provided verbal supportive information of the issue indicated in the objective. Interviews are an appropriate direction to describing the variables of the study’s approach. As data is gathered from participant interviews, it is categorized and themes arise where they’re then incorporated to the study’s framework (Winters & Neville, 2012). Furthermore, by categorizing and identifying themes, it allows researchers to organize their data and understand how each of their variables relates to the study’s
Prepare a critical analysis of a qualitative study focusing on the problem statement, study purpose, research question, literature review, and theoretical framework. This can be one of the selected articles from your previous literature review or a new peer-reviewed article.
There are three authors for this quantitative research study. Martin Knoll is the HTW of Saarland, Clinical Nursing Research and Evaluation, Saarbruecken, Germany. Christine Lautenschlaeger, Institute of Medical Epidemiology, Biometry and Medical Informatics, Martin Luther University of Halle-Wittenberg, Germany is the second author. And last, Marianne
Introduces and defines the topic, as well as describes its importance to professional nursing. Depth and detail are fair. (19–20 points)
Another reason the design is in harmony with the purpose of the study is identified by the author; there is a lack of narratives of nursing care. The nursing profession has an acute absence of stories that in their collective strength describe not only what nurses do but why. The "why" component is a critical aspect of the nursing profession. It determines how actors understand their roles, and the behaviors that are consistent with those
One of the external threats that were present during the survey is the patients’ condition, which could have influenced the work of the nurses. Since there are different conditions of patients, one of these could have influenced patient cases, teamwork and hence the study was not considerate enough. In addition, the study failed to integrate the participation of the nurses and instead focused on other staffs (Kalisch & Lee, 2011, p. 86). This could have triggered any negative relationships between the selected staffs and the nurses.
The convenience sampling that was used in recruiting all male patients who were on blood pressure medications is a glaring bias in this study. There was no information provided addressing why the patients were presenting to the clinic. There are many interventions that can raise blood pressure. For example, the study conducted by Marshall, Anantharachagan, Choudhary, Chue and Kaurhis, (2002) investigated the effect of situational anxiety on blood pressure experienced in anticipation of a blood test. Marshall, et. al., (2002) found that anticipation of a blood test can raise blood pressure. Foster-Fitzpatrick, et. al., 1999 did not address the purpose of the patient’s visit to the clinic.
Two types of data were collected through surveys, both before and after implementation of the combined approach (Sand-Jecklin and Sherman,2014). The first data was on nurses’ point of view with regards reporting process, and the second on patients view regrading nursing care. The baseline survey included 233 patients and 148 nurses, while the survey three months into the implementation period included 157 patients and 98 nurses. The final survey, 13 months into the impanation, was completed by 154 patients and 54 nurses. The patient survey also included responses from patient families. These were 70, 72, and 53 responses for baseline survey, three-month postimplementation surveys, and 13-month postimplementation surveys.
Nurses are required to base their practice on evidence-based research. Therefore, it is essential for nurses to develop the skills necessary to analyze a research article. Critiquing a research article helps nurse judge the creditability of the information presented. This essay reviews a qualitative study titled “Factors Associated With Aggressive Behavior Among Nursing Home Residents With Dementia.”
The setting in which this writer would start the study would be similar to the original case, by also conducting it at a state level in order to gather a big enough sample to secure and address the statistical power of the results. The setting essentially is going to target the California state's nurses that are licensed through to the
This research article is from the UK and the writer questions if the findings from this study will have heuristic relevance and applicability to nursing and healthcare in the United States (U.S.). Primary healthcare in the UK is provided through the National Health Service (NHS); this writer has little knowledge as to how it works and its impact on patient care and nursing. This limited knowledge may introduce bias in this critique.
with recommendations for changes needed in nursing. This was a response for the need to assess
This paper will address and evaluate the research problem itself, the design of the study, the sample, how the data is collected, its limitations, and its findings. Furthermore, how does this study impact the overall nursing process?
The author of this paper has been an associate’s degree registered nurse since 2005. Upon graduation from the ADN program at the College of Central Florida, the author
I will methodically analyze all parts of the study to assess the validity of the article, by contrasting and comparing the information provided, with previous literature. I will try to make sure that recommendations provided by the authors are congruous with nursing practice and beneficial to the advancement of it. I will as much as possible provide in depth detail of previous studies on the same topic that either support or contradict the analysis provided by this study and its authors.
Research is relevant to nursing with a specific end goal to interpret obstructions, increment estimation of patient care, propose new thoughts for future research, and shape the benchmarks at which we rehearse at. Studying research permits experts the capacity to decide qualities and shortcomings in every specific piece. Evaluating is imperative to bolster or expose conclusions found by the examination directed. Supporting or exposing research takes into consideration medical attendants to reinforce proper patient mediations and execute them with the most extreme endorsement. It is imperative for me to understand how to properly critique research for my career as a nurse so that I can stand by the medical
