Problem Statement and Justification

/in /by

Complete this worksheet to develop your research focus for the course. To help you better understand the main parts of research process, this research topic will be the basis for other assignments in the course. The focus of the research process for this assignment will be on the problem and its justification (significance), and the research question.

Format: Write your responses underneath each criterion, rather than a formal paper with APA headings, within a one double spaced page limit (cover and reference pages not counted)

QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH PROCESS

  1. Problem Statement and Justification
  2. Purpose of Research
  3. Research Question
  4. Hypotheses
  5. Operational Definitions
  6. Theoretical Framework
  7. Literature Review
  8. Design
  9. Sample and Sampling
  10. Ethical Considerations
  11. Data Collection and Instruments
  12. Statistical Analyses (descriptive & inferential statistics)
  13. Results
  14. Findings
  15. Conclusions
  16. Recommendations for Future Research
  17. Identify your research topic in one or two sentences

Grove, Gray, and Polit (2015) define a research topic as “a concept or broad issue that is important to nursing, such as acute pain, chronic pain management, coping with illness, or health promotion” (p. 131). The topic you choose should be one that you are interested about that could be a situation occurring within your personal practice setting that is researchable.

  1. Write your research problem that explains the background situation and justify its significance as to why it is important to research and how it could contribute to the profession of nursing. Cite scholarly source/s
  2. Develop your research question

Research questions should be short, concise, probing, and include measurable variables. Grove, Gray & Polit, 2015).

Formulate a research question that includes the measurable independent and dependent variables and who or what will comprise the population. Within your research question, identify in parentheses the independent and dependent variables. [note: If you chose a correlation vs. explanatory design, identify the predictor and criterion variables in parentheses]

Describe the kinds of evidence that a plaintiff can present in order to establish a negligent act.

    • How would you decide this case?
  • Read the case study presented at the end of Chapter 7(Guido, p. 115)
    • Were there damages that should be paid to this patient for negligence?

Understanding nursing research

/in /by

Please respond with a paragraph to the following post, add citations and references.

The four most commonly used designs for research studies are descriptive, correlational, quasi-experimental, and experimental.”(Grove, Gray & Burns, 2015). Descriptive and correlational designs can be referred to as non-experimental designs because the focus is on examining variables as they naturally occur in environments and not in the implementation of a treatment by the researcher.

Experimental research is when a researcher is able to manipulate the predictor variable and subjects to identify a cause-and-effect relationship. This typically requires the research to be conducted in a lab, with one group being placed in an experimental group, or the ones being manipulated, while the other is placed in a placebo group, or inert condition or non-manipulated group. A laboratory-based experiment gives a high level of control and reliability. .(Sousa, Driessnack & Menders, 2007).

Non-experimental research is the label given to a study when a researcher cannot control, manipulate or alter the predictor variable or subjects, but instead, relies on interpretation, observation or interactions to come to a conclusion. Typically, this means the non-experimental researcher must rely on correlations, surveys or case studies, and cannot demonstrate a true cause-and-effect relationship. Non-experimental research tends to have a high level of external validity, meaning it can be generalized to a larger population. .(Sousa, Driessnack & Menders, 2007).

What are some non-traditional ways that you have come up with as a nurse to educate your patients and family members?

/in /by

Please make a comment to the text below, (don’t forget references and citation if used)

Health promotion is the act of educating people about healthy lifestyles, reduction of risk, developmental needs, activities of daily living and preventive self-care (ANA, 2007). Continuously educating towards health promotion is extremely important in any nurses role. Education applies to both patient and family members in the healthcare setting and should begin as soon as the nurse steps into a patients care. For patients, it is important to ensure that they are receiving quality care and that their providers are implementing quality educational interventions based on the patients’ specific educational needs (Grand Canyon University, 2018).

The nursing process should be incorporated into developing a health plan with the patient and family members by utilizing the assessment that was done and determining what will be beneficial for successful outcomes. An example may include a patient that is total knee replacement in the post-operative phase that will need education regarding discharge planning and home adjustments. A nurse would collaborate with appropriate interdisciplinary teams that can assist the patients outcome but also be cognoscente of specific needs. The nurse should assess the learning needs of the patient, characteristics of the learner, and any barriers to learning that might exist (Grand Canyon University, 2018). Also, as a part of the nursing process an overall assessment of the patient, family, and home life would be important to consider when deciding what educational needs the patient and family may benefit from.

What are some non-traditional ways that you have come up with as a nurse to educate your patients and family members?
