Health Study: Harvard Nurses

This process provides an effective method for handling all of the scientific and technical information as well as the emotional, social, and physical factors that they deal with for each patient. A national study is important to further educate nurses because it will enhance their knowledge and skills to continue improving quality and patient safety. Nurses play major roles in patient outcomes, monitoring and assessing patients and making necessary interventions to reduce any risks. Nurses also collaborate with other health care providers and act as educators to and advocates for patients and family members, and a I believe a national study will allow nurses to come together, let their roles as health care providers be known, and become health care leaders who make up a majority of the health care field and bring about policies to enhance the health care system.

Whilst the project was taking place the questionnaires were stored in a file which was then stored in a locked cabinet. voluntary sampling was selected as the researcher did not pick the participants they came forward to take part and the participants were aware of what they were doing and what the project was for as this was stated in the consent form.as the questionnaire was anonymous this meant that the researcher was not being bias but this did not stop the questionnaires being bias as this is the participants company and they may want to promote there company this could have an effect on the reliability of the findings this could also affect the transferability as different participants answer differently. If this research study was to be done in a different location there is no guarantee that the results will come out the same as at a different location may have more staff and they may have a speciality in mentoring, more people may still result in lack of questions being

The Impact on Nursing of the 2010 Institute of Medicine Report on the Future of Nursing

A review of the proposed participants of the study will ensure high-risk groups (if any) will be considered as per the National Statement on Ethical Conduct in Human Research (‘National Statement’; NHMRC, 2007). While some of these high-risk

This sort of bland and spurious even-handedness is misleading. For example, Reiss and Roth withheld from their readers that there were at least nine other estimates contradicting the NCVS-based estimate; instead they vaguely alluded only to "a number of surveys,"[23] as did Cook,[24] and they down played the estimates from the other surveys on the basis of flaws which they only speculated those surveys might have. Even as speculations, these scholars' conjectures were conspicuously one-sided, focusing solely on possible flaws whose correction would bring the estimate down, while ignoring obvious flaws, such as respondents (Rs) forgetting or intentionally concealing DGUs, whose correction would push the estimate up. Further, die speculations, even if true, would be wholly inadequate to account for more than a small share of the enormous nine-to-one or more discrepancy between

In the recent past, nursing has come to the forefront as a popular career amongst students across the globe. The demand for nurses has kept increasing gradually over the years. In fact, the number of registered nurses does not meet the demand of the private and public health sector. This phenomenon has resulted in a situation where the available registered nurses have to work extra hours in order to meet the patients’ needs. With this in mind, the issue of nurse fatigue has come up as a common problem in nursing. According to the Canadian Nurses Association (CNA), nurse fatigue is “a feeling of tiredness” that penetrates a persons physical, mental and emotional realms limiting their ability to function normally. Fatigue does

A discussion regarding the health care reform or even health care in general can be somewhat controversial. The definition of health is drastically different depending on whom you speak to. Many would define health as " a person's absence of disease, others would describe good health based on the status of mind, body & social well-being" (GCU Lecture, module 2, 2012). According to The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, health is defined as "The overall condition of an organism at a given time". An individual's overall health affects the nation, this is where stakeholders come into value. According to Keele, Buckner & Bushnell a stakeholder is either an individual or an organization that either invest time and

The Institute of Medicine (IOM) 2010 report examines the role of the nurse in this rapidly changing complex health care system as well as the responsibilities and education of nurses to meet the need of an aging population. The IOM Report made many recommendation that affect nurses and nursing profession. I did not realize how much the Institute of Medicine Future of Nursing report would affect me, especially recommendation 4, 5, and 6. I returned back to school in 2012, but I got discourage and overwhelm with work and school, therefore, I stopped after the first class. But as changes where occurring in health care delivery, and these changes were affecting my current position at work, I decided to return back to school since the hospitals

This interview was conducted on October 12, 2016, with Judy Hayes, RN. Ms. Hayes began her nursing career in 1981 as a primary nurse at New England Medical Center (NEMC). During her tenure she held various positions ultimately becoming the manager of the Surgical Intensive Care Unit (SICU). Over the years Ms. Hayes has worked for private consulting firms and attained the Directorship of Utilization and Care Management at St. Elizabeth’s Medical Center (St. E’s). In 1999 Ms. Hayes joined Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH) as Director of Professional Practice and Staff Development. From 2005 through the present Ms. Hayes has been the Vice President of Nursing and Chief Nursing Officer (CNO) at the Brigham and Women’s Faulkner Hospital (BWFH).

Describe the definition of nursing as put forward by the American Nurses Association. How does it address the metaparadigm theories of nursing?

a)      Discuss the work of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Committee Initiative on the Future of Nursing and the Institute of Medicine research that led to the IOM report, “Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health.”

Coverage error, the failure to give some persons in a target population a chance to be selected into the sample, was present in the survey because insecure areas were not represented. The survey attempted to mitigate coverage errors by conducting face to face interviews to eliminate the coverage bias introduced by phone interviews. The response rate was not reported in the methodology page. However, if the response rate was 25%, that would indicate that the 1,000-sample size was taken from 4,000 individuals. Whether response rate affects data quality is a matter of debate, yet, according to Hillygus, “multiple studies have found that lower response rates do not indicate the results are inaccurate” (Hillygus 42). The role response rates have on the accuracy of results is uncertain, but inclusion of it provides insight into the quality of the methods.

Does the Big Nurse, despite Chief’s perception of her, have the patients’ best interests and well being in mind? Why or why not?

Fatigue is defined as a feeling of tiredness or exhaustion or a need to rest because of lack of energy or strength. Fatigue in nurses directly affects the quality of care that the nurse gives to a patient. Nurse fatigue can be described as fatigue affecting the nurse population that may result from the following contributing factors: working long shifts in the healthcare workplace; obtaining insufficient sleep between scheduled shifts; a disturbance in circadian rhythms; and attempting to balance demanding personal, familial, and social obligations in addition to the work schedule. This article explains the implications of nursing fatigue.

Survey bias is the next potential survey research problem that can be likely to occur. In survey sampling, bias refers to the tendency of a sample statistic to systematically over or under estimate a population parameter. At the time of the survey, we are to assume that the chosen sample is the representation of the ‘Gen Y’ population and that information provided by the respondents is both accurate and honest. It appears that there was a response bias due to the unconscious misrepresentation and misplacement of the ‘Pepsi’ logo at the top of the survey. This was inadvertent but may have led to a response bias where the respondents appeared to have been influenced by an auspices bias – a bias in the responses of subjects caused by their being influenced by the organization conducting the study (Zikmond et all, 2011).
