Student comments in this section-- 3a. The perspective that was used is that of teamwork among NAP and RNs in hospital-based research using qualitative description. 3b. Teamwork is the abstract idea that guided this study. The Framework included a research team that comprised of 3 nurses. During analysis they discovered a teamwork model in organizational science literature that provided them with structure and data interpretation techniques. Salas et al. (2005) had 5 key components of teamwork: leadership, performance monitoring, back-up behaviors, adaptability, and team orientation. 3c. The Qualitative description was the chosen research tradition in which information was wanted about the perceptions of teamwork between NAP and RNs. 3d. …show more content…
Data collection was done by common workplace communications like monthly meetings and focus groups for the NAP. Electronic surveys were performed for the nursing staff with similar semi-structured questions. 5b. Electronic surveys were used with RNs because they were used to electronic charting. Monthly meetings were used to facilitate the focus groups for the NAP because they did not use electronic communication. 5c. The data collection for the NAP consisted of three 45 minute sessions. Nurses communicated their answers electronically and no time frame was mentioned. Bellury et al. (2016) Analysis proceeded in an iterative fashion over the course of several months as NAP focus group audio-recordings were transcribed. (p.339) 5d. NAPs attended 1 of three 45 minute focus groups, in which they consented and anonymous demographic information was obtained. One research facilitator ran the group of NAPs and participants were further provided with instructions and confidentiality information. Guided discussions were performed and all sessions were recorded and transcribed verbatim. Emails were sent out to RNs inviting them to participate. RNs could provide answers to open ended questions electronically. Consents and confidentiality agreements were all done
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.
A1. The nursing profession has evolved significantly over the decades. One of the factors that have greatly influenced these changes has been the involvement of nurses in the development of theories and data base needed to support the advancement of our profession. In the last half of the twentieth century, nurse researchers (1950s) and nurse theorists (1960s and 1970s) greatly contributed to the expanding body of nursing knowledge with their studies of nursing practice and the development of nursing models and theories (American Nurses Association, 2010, p. 16). Like in any other research activity, a special set of

85). In addition, the survey used workers who interacted with the nurses on a daily basis and this could have influenced the information, given that the workers may have established a strong connection with the nurses.
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.
Flexible and inexpensive, focus groups consist of six to ten participants (Hartman, 2004, p. 408). Additionally, a moderator guides the discussion among its panel members that allows researchers to observe real-time verbal responses and nonverbal cues (Hartman, 2004, p. 402; Cooper & Schindler, 2014, p. 160). Focus groups moderators also have the ability to introduce new ideas to gain a greater understanding of concerns from respondents (Hartman, 2004, p. 402). However, a concern with focus group is the lack of anonymity due to the face-to-face participation.
Jones could vividly recall the collective support and motivation that was accompanied in his recovery by the entirety of his team (Jones, 2015). This presents the role of nursing, as well as the roles of the other health care professionals, is very collaborative and team oriented, as they were never addressed individually. This presentation of their roles was somewhat consistent with my pre-existent idea of what roles they play. An example would be in terms of emotional availability, by acknowledging Jones’ concerns. (Jones, 2015). However, I had never considered the role of nursing, or the other professions as being so largely team oriented or being in direct contact on a daily basis.
Although working as a team to reach goals seems straight forward and logical, King’s theory is based on several assumptions. King believed that the nurse-patient working relationship is affected by how each sees the situation as well as how the goals, needs, and values. She believed in patient rights to personal information and to make decisions effecting their lives including the receipt of care. King knew that
A major concept that we have learned about in our nursing 182 class is Teamwork. In this concept analysis we will see the conceptualization of teamwork, and critical attributes, related concepts and various cases, and illegitimate uses of team work. Teamwork is essential in the nursing field and this analysis will show just how important it is.
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
Nursing research has been a part of nursing practice for many years, consisting of both qualitative and quantitative research; it is essential in guiding nursing practice. Many nurses have a baseline understanding of research in general, but it is important for the researcher to understand their own values and beliefs when determining the type of research they will be performing. By understanding the differences between epistemology, methodology, and methods, the researcher can confidently conduct a valid research project.
Health care organizations utilize various tools in their operation to provide the best patient care possible. In most cases, health information technology (HIT) makes the biggest impact in efficient operations. However, because patient files are accessible from various health care organizations depending on the patient’s needs, the implementation of a new or updated system must be standardized. With a standardized system, various organizations would be able to communicate with each other and achieve interoperability (Wager, Lee, & Glaser, 2013).
Qualitative research is all about better understanding human experiences. “Qualitative studies are helpful in answering particular kinds of research questions concerned with human responses in a particular situation and context and the meanings that humans bring to those situations” (Melnyk & Fineout-Overholt, 2015, p. 476). Using qualitative research will really help me to better understand how patients and nurses feel about bedside shift reporting. Since most qualitative studies use questionnaires or interviews it will show me participants true feelings.
There are several methods of collecting data for nursing research. The best techniques for collecting data should be well-defined, reliable, valid and done so without interjecting person bias. Data collection for qualitative studies may be in the form of interviews or surveys, participants may take part in a focus group, or be observed in their natural environment. Techniques for quantitative studies could also include surveys, observation, historical data, physiological data, or tests (Tappen, 2016). Any of these approaches are useful collection methods however, the process used must be suitable to answer the research question.
Schizophrenia, defined by the National Institute of Mental Health is “…a chronic and severe mental disorder that affects how a person thinks, feels, and behaves...” Sufferers of this mental illness have many symptoms such as hallucinations, delusions, difficulty finding happiness, reduced speaking, trouble focusing, and many other symptoms which greatly impact their quality of life. Around two million Americans are diagnosed with this illness, although not much is known about it. Scientists have still not been able to pin point what causes schizophrenia. Due to this there is no cure, only treatments to try and dull the symptoms. Steven McCarroll and Beth Stevens have conducted a study which will hopefully give researchers something to help further their studies, to finally find
