The Field Of Nursing And Nursing Students

The profession of nursing has, in recent years, been trying to further develop, test and use proposed nursing theory. To utilize theory appropriately, in all domains of practice, education and research, it is important to know how to describe, analyze and evaluate

The author undertook an electronic search were used to collect the literature. Three electronic databases were used; Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Medline and PsychInfo. These three databases were chosen as they are often used by nurses, allied health professionals, researchers, students and nurse educators to research their subject area (Aveyard, 2014).

Introduces and defines the topic, as well as describes its importance to professional nursing. Depth and detail are fair. (19–20 points)

The medical field of nursing is based on servitude in God’s mission and through the means of compassion. Our missional goals must align with God’s (Wright, 2012). Nursing consists of care and compassion for the disadvantaged, weak, sick, and injured. This is in addition to the pursuit of high standards in professionalism, articulated in the delivery of a valuable service that is based on unique knowledge and experience, performed ethically, and practiced autonomously. The major characteristic of compassion is from God and how it relates to this world of professionalism is seen through nursing. Any job that advances God’s work in the world is a Godly choice (Col. 1:16-20).

Becoming a nurse requires extensive schooling and training that for most students causes considerable amounts of stress to be placed on their success for the future. Nursing school places students in an environment that is rigorous and competitive which in turn results in high-stress levels experienced by these students. The stress inflicted on these students causes them to experience health problems along with deterring them from completing their studies. Additionally, the pressure and struggles these students are facing are being ignored by those placing them under these conditions, ignoring the fact that the educators of these students are responsible for ensuring the well-being of these students. Proven that nursing students experience more stress than the average college undergraduate, the stress inflicted on nursing students by their educational process results in students that are less likely to succeed and that are overall less healthy both physically and mentally.

Planning a nursing study is a daunting task to undertake. Several factors that need consideration when designing a study. According to Polit & Beck researchers want their findings to be valid, reliable and trustworthy (2012). When researching a topic one must critique the research to be sure the study is appropriate.

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?

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.

Nursing research is quite unique in that it explores practices that are current and methods to improve those practices. With the goal of providing excellent and quality patient care outcomes, nursing research is dependent on the questions that are being asked. Therefore, it is imperative prior to beginning any type of research to decide the best format to acquire the answers to the questions proposed. As such, there are two methods that classify research and how it is done, qualitative and quantitative. Thus, contingent on the investigators will ultimately determine the type of research that is used, compared, and concluded to obtain the results that provide the best answers to the posed questions and the

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
