Before this class started, I have browsed through this course and
read the requirements of all the assignments and in all honesty,
I was scared! This capstone project helped me know how to
disseminate parts of a research and has given me the ability to
understand the importance of what makes a research more
valuable. From all the different course work throughout this
program, it all has integrated a certain aspect into my capstone
project. I have learned to manage my time, utilize journals in
the library that have peer reviews, and utilize websites that are
credible. The different kinds of topics that are assigned all help
integrate different aspects into my capstone project. I learned
many information about managed health care, ethics, cultures,
patient care and most importantly what to know about the
changing world of healthcare. According to the last lecture of
this course “students should be able to participate in research

3. activities by: identifying clinical problems requiring
investigation, utilizing evidence-based literature to answer
clinical questions, critically analyzing and critiquing qualitative
and quantitative studies, critically synthesizing the literature to
make best practice decisions, assisting experiences investigators
in gaining access to clinical sites, assisting novice clinicians,
peers, and interdisciplinary health care workers in utilizing
evidence-based literature and synthesizing the information,
influencing the selection of appropriate methods of data
collection, and collecting data, disseminating, and implementing
nursing research findings” (Demonstrating Mastery of
Evidence-Based Practice, 2009). I hope to have gain and to
utilize this in the future of my career.

It is improtant to recognize that there are many aspects of this
couorse of study. The objective, i bilieve, is to have atuden be
the best and most rounded ethical and Christian provider that
exists. The point is that there are many aspects to healthcare but
the use of all the disciplines that have been studied, give
validation to everything we have been discussing. When the
recognition of quality healthcare hits the patient, we can see the
effect it has on our patients. To be the advocate we have learned
to be through this course, we can see the importance that exists
from following good healthcare. From all of the research that
has been done, we can string the education that has been
delivered to us to make viable arguments toward the satisfactory
explanations that are there in the proogram. There is a common
theme from one discipline to the other that indicaties why we do
the things we do as healthcare providers.

The importance in identifying commonalities across several
studies with regard to study findings and the types of patients to
which a study findings can be applied is because commonalities
help to determine if results are reliable and effectively. In a
variety of studies, when findings are consistent it can be
determined that the study is feasible to be apply to several types
of patients.

It is important to identify commonalities across several studies
with regard to studying findings because depending on the type
of research is used, it helps determine the outliers, exceptions,
and contradictions within a data set (Leedy & Ormrod, 2015).
“A good qualitative researcher actively, consciously resists
temptations to find commonalities that do not truly exist (Leedy
& Ormrod, 2015). The type of patient that can be applied to a
qualitative study is the cultural differences or similarities of
patients. “A cross-cultural study contributes to the leisure
studies field, both theoretically and practically, by identifying
cultural commonality and specificity in leisure experiences as
well as leisure’s potential role in enhancing psychological well-
being” (Ito & Walker, 2016).
