Question description

A 1000-1500 word essay on article found http://qualitysafety.bmj.com/content/21/Suppl_1/i3…

Article name: Are patients discharged with care? A qualitative study of perceptions and experiences of patients, family members and care providers

To write a critical appraisal that demonstrates comprehension of the research study conducted, address each component below for qualitative study in the Topic 2 assignment

Successful completion of this assignment requires that you provide a rationale, include examples, or reference content from the study in your responses.

Qualitative Study

Background of Study:

Identify the clinical problem and research problem that led to the study. What was not known about the clinical problem that, if understood, could be used to improve health care delivery or patient outcomes? This gap in knowledge is the research problem.

How did the author establish the significance of the study? In other words, why should the reader care about this study? Look for statements about human suffering, costs of treatment, or the number of people affected by the clinical problem.

Identify the purpose of the study. An author may clearly state the purpose of the study or may describe the purpose as the study goals, objectives, or aims.

List research questions that the study was designed to answer. If the author does not explicitly provide the questions, attempt to infer the questions from the answers.

Were the purpose and research questions related to the problem?

Method of Study:

Were qualitative methods appropriate to answer the research questions?

Did the author identify a specific perspective from which the study was developed? If so, what was it?

Did the author cite quantitative and qualitative studies relevant to the focus of the study? What other types of literature did the author include?

Are the references current? For qualitative studies, the author may have included studies older than the 5-year limit typically used for quantitative studies. Findings of older qualitative studies may be relevant to a qualitative study.

Did the author evaluate or indicate the weaknesses of the available studies?

Did the literature review include adequate information to build a logical argument?

When a researcher uses the grounded theory method of qualitative inquiry, the researcher may develop a framework or diagram as part of the findings of the study. Was a framework developed from the study findings?

Results of Study

What were the study findings?

What are the implications to nursing?

Explain how the findings contribute to nursing knowledge/science. Would this impact practice, education, administration, or all areas of nursing?

Ethical Considerations

Was the study approved by an Institutional Review Board?

Was patient privacy protected?

Were there ethical considerations regarding the treatment or lack of?

Conclusion

Emphasize the importance and congruity of the thesis statement.

Provide a logical wrap-up to bring the appraisal to completion and to leave a lasting impression and take-away points useful in nursing practice.

Incorporate a critical appraisal and a brief analysis of the utility and applicability of the findings to nursing practice.

Information Management and Application of Patient Care Technology.

/in /by

Question description
Good morning Professor and fellow students,
Here we are in the last discussion of the class. Time has gone by quick here. This has been a great class and easing myself back into the classroom environment has been enjoyable. I hope to see you all in my future courses as well. Now on with the show…
The AACN BSN Essential that I have chosen to discuss today is Essential IV: Information Management and Application of Patient Care Technology. Graduates must have basic competence in technical skills, which includes the use of computers, as well as the application of patient care technologies such as monitors, data gathering devices, and other technological supports for patient care interventions (AACN Essentials, 2018).
Previously being in the tech field before entering nursing, I’ve seen a lot of nurses and even doctors having trouble with the technology whether it’s the computers, scanners, software, etc. There is so much that can be done with the technology but it just needs to be taught properly and in a way that won’t make the user feel it’s too complicated. I see my career vision being nursing informatics. I feel I could be a great asset to help others not feel intimidated by the technology. The ideal professional nursing career vision would include nursing-related passions (Hood, 2018, p. 552).
Essential V: Health care policy, Finance, and Regulatory Environments seem to be one for the most part that wouldn’t impact my future practice too much. The Healthcare policy is very important but the finance and regulatory stuff I would leave to the much higher powers that be.

Communication and scenarios in nursing

/in /by

Communication and scenarios in nursing

One of the most vital elements in workplaces in different contexts is communication. Communication ensures understanding and success and in nursing it’s no exception. In therapy it entails the exchange of information which is health related between the nurse and a patient. These two participants both act as the receivers and the sources simultaneously. The shared information may be in form of verbal, non-verbal, spoken, written among other forms and scenarios (Clinical Communication, n.d. ). Communication does a lot and significantly improves the practice of nursing and therapy; it helps patients to convey important information about what they are going through.
