Novice to Expert: The Nurse’s Role in Research and Evidence-based Practice
Nursing is a field of practice with processes, policies, and procedures that are constantly evolving. Such changes do not come about by mere chance but rather on the shoulders of the many nurse researchers who lend a hand in nursing research and the fruition of such research is implemented as evidence-based practice (EBP). Throughout this reflection the terms nursing research and evidence-based practice will be utilized quite often, what do these terms really denote? Polit and Beck (2018) explain nursing research as an inquiry that is designed to retrieve trustworthy evidence about issues relevant to nurses and their clients. Evidence-based practice is identified as using the best evidence to guide patient care decisions and such evidence is typically generated from nurses and other health care professionals who engage in research (Polit and Beck, 2018).

Knowing how important research is to the continued quality improvement within our field our group set out on a mission to educate fellow nurses about the need to engage in such research and aid in the implementation of evidence-based practice. The opportunity presented itself on April 16th, 2019 at the Hallandale Outpatient Surgical Center (HOSC). Our primary goal was to educate the nurses of the HOSC about the need to involve themselves in nursing research and evidence-based practices and to seek out opportunities around their workplace where extra research may lead to quality improvement.
Enhanced Academic Learning
Our ASL group utilized objectives: 6.1 Outline the fundamental principles of evidence-based practice, and 6.2 Describe the relationship between research knowledge and evidence-based practice. The theory that served as the backbone to our presentation was Patricia Benner’s theory of Novice to Expert. Nursing theorist Patricia Benner adapted the Dreyfus theory to nursing clinical practice and utilized the same five stages novice, advanced beginner, competent, proficient and expert to evaluate the progression of a nurse (Fishman, 2018). As nurses obtain the necessary experience from years on the job they become assets in the recognition of areas within the field that has room for change or improvement and may even be able to offer well-established solutions if they are able to involve themselves in nursing research. Using objective 6.1 we analyzed a few key principles to evidence-based practice some of which include identifying the best research evidence, listening to p.
This study aims to identify the problems faced by young doctors in hospitals in Peshawar, Pakistan. It will survey 60 young doctors through questionnaires and interviews to understand the challenges they face, how their performance is impacted, and their level of satisfaction with current administrative policies. The research findings could help administrators address the problems and better devise policies to improve doctors' working conditions and ability to serve patients effectively. However, difficulties may arise in obtaining hospital cooperation and the doctors' time needed to participate in the study.

Matthew Yachts, Inc.Matthew Yachts, located in Montauk, Lo.docxjessiehampson
Matthew Yachts, Inc.
Matthew Yachts, located in Montauk, Long Island, manufactured sailing yachts of all
descriptions. The company had begun by building custom-designed yachts for a largely New
York-based clientele. Custom-designed yachts still accounted for three-fifths of Matthew’s unit
sales and four-fifths of its dollar sales and earnings. Over the years, as Matthew Yachts’
reputation for quality design and workmanship spread, sales broadened to cover all of the
eastern seaboard.
In an effort to capitalize on this increased recognition and to secure a piece of the fastest
growing market in sailing, Matthew Yachts began manufacturing a new standard, fixed-design
craft. Matthew attacked only the high end of this market, as the boat measured 37 feet long.
Nevertheless, even this end of the market was more price-sensitive and less conscious of
performance than Matthew Yacht’s custom-design customers were.
All of the company’s yachts were manufactured at the Montauk plant and shared the
same equipment and skilled labor force. Custom designs were given priority in scheduling, and
the new boat was rotated into the schedule only when demand slackened. As sales of the fixed-
design boat increased, however, scheduling the new boat on a regular basis became
necessary.
Matthew Yachts were built basically from the bottom up. Fabricating hulls was the first
step. Increasingly, fiberglass hulls were demanded for their speed and easy maintenance.
Afterward came the below-deck woodworking, followed by the fiberglass and woodworking on
the deck itself. The masts were turned and drilled separately. Masts and hull were then joined
and the finish work completed.
Over the past year, as the fixed-design craft continued its steady increase in sales, costs
and deliveries began to slide precipitously, especially on the fixed-design yachts. During this
period, when push came to shove, construction of the fixed-design craft always yielded time and
resources to the higher-profit-margin custom designs. As a result, many fixed-design yachts
were strewn around the yard in various stages of construction. Moreover, space in the existing
shipyard was becoming scarce, and a plant expansion of one sort or another appeared
inevitable.
Case Questions
1. Should Matthew Yachts, Inc. stay in the business of building standard, fixed-design
yachts? Why or why not?
2. Describe what the company should do to improve their processes were they are to
remain in this business?
Note: Be specific when answering these questions and use information provided in the
context of this learning module.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

Key Summary
4.1 Location
For this assignment, we were to locate two Chinese medical halls, one in Penang and
the other one back here in the Klang Valley. The different locations and environments
were to serve as point of comparison between the two businesses.
4. 4
The first Chinese medical hall we contacted, going by the name of Cheng Woh Medical
Hall, was located in Georgetown, Penang. Georgetown in itself is a UNESCO World
Heritage site and serves as a tourism hub through its many cultural and commercial
sites. Cheng Woh Medical Hall in specific is located along Lebuh Campbell and is
housed in an old colonial era shophouse.
For the Chinese medical hall located in the Klang Valley, we contacted a shop by the
name of Keen Hing Enterprise. Located at Petaling Street, Kuala Lumpur, which is a
Chinatown infamous for its counterfeit goods, it is located in a prime area where
international tourist and locals likewise can be expected on a daily basis.
4.2 Team
Placed into teams of eight people, we all brought different skills and strengths to the
table. Caleb, playing the role of a leader, took it onto himself to keep everyone
accountable on their progress. He also helped facilitate discussions and made key
decisions for the group. Ly Vier, Winter and Erica were responsible for everything
concerning the medical halls. In between the three of them, they researched on suitable
chinese medical halls, arranged our appointments with the chinese medical hall and
prepared the interview questions.
Cheok and William were tasked with preparing the main bulk of the research materials
as well as the data presentations for the report and slides. Jane and Kit assisted in
taking recordings and photos which were later used in the report.
However, these task appointment did not hinder the group members from aiding one
another and giving input to each others section as things progressed. From the
research until the final phase of report writing, each of the team members served as an
integral member in completing this assignment.
4.3 Assignment
Utilizing comparative research as the fundamental methodology, each of the groups
were tasked with studying and comparing two trades or businesses of similar nature,
one located in Penang and and the other in the Klang Valley. The main purpose of the
assignment was to analyze and compare the similarities and differences of the identified
businesses. The data required for analysis and comparison needed to be obtained
through a mixture of primary sources and secondary sources. Primary sources being
the interview and secondary sources being other printed sources or research papers.
5. 5
The outcomes of the analysis and comparison then needed to be presented in the form
of a research report and formal presentation in front of our lecturer.
4.4 Research Questions
Based on and modified from the questions provided in the appendix of the assignment
brief :
1. When was the business founded?
2. Who are the key founders? How many, if any, generations have inherited the
business?
3. What prompted the founders to start the business?
4. What are your main products?
5. Who are your customers?
6. What is the business annual revenue figure?
7. How many branch offices or stores do you have?
8. Can you provide us a brief history of your business and its most recent
development?
9. Do you have many competitors? Who are they? Who are your top 3 competitors?
10. Is the business constantly facing strong competition from competitors? What
strategies have they used to compete with you?
11. How much capital is required to start this business? What, if any, specialized field of
knowledge do you need to run this business?
12. Generally, do you feel that it is easy or hard to enter this market? Why?
13. How do you compete with your competitors? What strategies do you employ to
divert customers away from your competitors?
14. Do you have your own medicinal prescription?
15. Where do you get your supply of medicinal herbs?
16. Are your pricing decision strongly affected by your competitors?
4.5 Methodology
4.5.1 Data Collection
We conducted interviews with both owners of the respective chinese medical hall during
our visits to their shops. At the same time, we went there equipped with cameras and
voice recorders to obtain the necessary evidence and materials. Even before our visit to
the chinese medical halls, we did a research on relevant informations and familiarized
ourselves with the traditional chinese medicine business. This enabled us to formulate
relevant interview questions with the result of better, more workable data.
6. 6
4.5.2 Data Presentation
The end goal of this assignment was to produce a good written report and verbal
presentation. To achieve that, we delegated each individual in our team to work on a
certain subtopic. This method enabled everyone to focus explicitly on a certain topic and
data scope and thus increase the productivity as well as efficiency of each member.
Having gotten everyone to arrange the initial data, we then filtered and edited it, looking
out for basic grammatical errors as well as ensuring a structured flow to the overall data
arrangement. In the mean time, a few others worked on the presentation slides.
Referring to the written report, they included all the key elements of the report into the
slides. Lastly, we familiarized ourselves with the subtopic allocated to us to ensure a
smooth verbal presentation.
Research Report
5.1 History of the Trade
Chinese herbal medicine has been around for a long time, with a history of about
4000 years. It all started around 2300 years ago, when Shen Nung, now widely
recognized as the father of Chinese medicine, harvested and codified wild herbal
medicine. Ever since then, Chinese herbal medicine has experienced constant
improvement and modification.
Unlike Western herbs, Chinese herbs consist not only of plants, but also of
animal parts and minerals. It fundamentally includes the knowledge of hundreds of
herbs and formulae. In most cases herbs are not used on its own but are used in
tandem with one another. Formulas usually consist of 10 to 15 or more ingredients,
each having a functional relationship with the others. One of the advantages of putting
together all the individual dry herbs is that the prescription can be created specifically
7. 7
for each patient and adjusted on a regular basis in relation to the changes of the
patient's condition.
In the olden days, most of the Chinese medical hall served as a one stop center
for traditional Chinese medical treatment. To fulfil this function, Chinese medical halls
are manned by Chinese physicians and equipped with the traditional Chinese medical
counter. The role of a Chinese physician is to accurately identify the root of a medical
condition and also prescribe the appropriate medication, much like a modern day
doctor. At the same time, the counter contains hundreds or maybe thousands of herbs.
Both of these are the soul of a traditional Chinese medical hall.
In Malaysia, most of the Chinese medical halls were set up by the Chinese
immigrants who came to Malaya. Those immigrants were the pioneers who
manufactured, managed and distributed Chinese herbs and medicines in this region to
countries of this region, e.g. Sumatra, Singapore. Thus, most Chinese medical halls
have been handed down from generation to generation, some even amounting to four
generations, spanning over hundreds of years.
Nowadays, the Chinese medical halls in Malaysia not only provide medical
treatments, many of them have ventured into the market of herbal mixes for soups,
desserts and teas. Some are selling western medicine and miscellaneous goods as
well. This serves as a response to the changing demands and needs of this era.
Unfortunately, an increasing amount of Chinese medical halls have been finding it
increasingly difficult to sustain this business in this era and are slowly waning under the
pressure of business.
8. 8
5.2 Description of
Business
This research assignment is based on two chinese medical halls. They are Keen Hing
Enterprise in Petaling Street, KL and Cheng Woh Medical Hall in Penang.
5.2.1 Keen Hing Enterprise
Keen Hing Enterprise is a chinese herbal medical hall started by their own. This medical
hall is located at Petaling Street, Kuala Lumpur. The founder of this business is Mr. Lim
Xing. Mr. Lim started his business about 50 years ago because of his passion for
Chinese herbal medicine. The business was previously a partnership within three
brothers but it is now solely owned by Mr Lim, who is one of the three brothers. The
business consists of only one medical hall and it has no branches.
A huge portion of the herbs and remedies, up to 90%, are sourced and imported from
mainland China. The remaining 10% of the herbs come from local suppliers. The
majority of these herbs are then packaged into sachets used to boil soup. These
sachets are the main product.
According to the interview, most of the customers are either mothers or senior citizens.
Many of these customers are regular customers. However, there are also new
customers, consisting of tourists and visitors, who visit occasionally. The pricing of the
products are adjustable due to economic issues. The average income for this business
is around RM3000 per month.
9. 9
In terms of competitors, there are only two in the area. Based on Mr Lim’s words, there
used to be more medical halls in the area but many of them has closed down as they
they couldn’t afford to continue. Reasons behind this includes high rental fee and the
lack of a successor for retiring business owners.
5.2.2 Cheng Woh Medical Hall
Cheng Woh Medical Hall is located at 164B-C, Lebuh Campbell, 10100, Pulau Pinang.
The business was founded by Mr. Lee Cheng Woh in 1933 and is currently owned by
his great grandson Mr Lee. This means the business is in its fourth generation. Mr Lee
ventured into this business because of the market and social needs of that time. This
was also the only profession in which they were familiar with. They moved to their
current premise in 1988.
The main product of Cheng Woh Medical Hall is herbal soup sachets which they pack
on their own. Dry seafood is also another product which is sold. These are all proven
and effective means of treating infertility. As a result, women who suffer from infertility
regularly purchase their herbs here. All of these products come from different places
with an acceptable and an affordable price.
The target market of this company are mothers which includes grandmothers as well as
young mothers. Most of them are regular customers. There are also tourists who visit
the store as they pass through the area. This is the only store and has no branches.
The owner stated that he wish to develop his business and the renovation of current
shop is now taking place.
Competitors are very wide. They included direct competitors and indirect competitors.
Direct competitors are the medical halls nearby and indirect competitors are the small
business that sell chinese herbal. Development of this business is on the progress. The
strategy of improvement are high value of products, positions of the employee and
educate people about the knowledge of chinese herbal.

6.0 Recommendation
Based on our analysis regarding the two Chinese medical hall, Cheng Woh Medical Hall
and Keen Hing Enterprise,we have proposed a few recommendation to further improve
their competitiveness in the future
1. Cheng Woh Medical Hall
Current Situation Recommendations
Limited choices of products. The owner should consider selling a small
selection of western medicine to increase
the variety of medicine available.
Moreover, the owner should also consider
selling some miscellaneous items. A
variety of products will definitely attract
new customers and maintain the existing
customer.
Stagnant expansion of branches. The family owners of this chinese medical
hall should further develop their business
by opening branches in other towns that
lack of Chinese medical hall. This will
definitely create a new source of income
for the business.
2. Keen Hing Enterprise
Current Situation Recommendations
Limited services. The owner could consider hire a Chinese
physician to provide medical treatment .
This way, the shop will turn into a one-
stop traditional chinese medical hall .
Weak advertising Due to the lack of advertisement and
15. 15
publicity, Cheong Woh Medical Hall is
hardly visible.The owner should improve
on advertising strategies, such as printing
some banners in order to allow the
customers to search them easily.
Besides, they could consider being more
aggressive in advertising in order to
create awareness and draw attention.
Product sources mainly from China The owner could consider getting
products from local retail shop. As local
product’s cost less. This way, the
business profit will increase .
