The Effect of Reported Sleep,
Perceived Fatigue, and Sleepiness on
Cognitive Performance in a Sample of
Emergency Nurses

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to explore
the relationship between reported sleep, perceived
fatigue and sleepiness, and cognitive performance.
BACKGROUND: Although evidence suggests that
fatigue and sleepiness affect the provision of care in
inpatient units, there is a lack of research on the sleep
patterns of emergency nurses and the effects of dis-
turbed sleep and fatigue on their cognitive abilities
and susceptibility to medical errors.
METHODS: A quantitative correlational design was
used in this study; in each of 7 different statistical models,
zero-order relationships between predictors and the
dependent variable were examined with appropriate
inferential tests.
RESULTS: Participants reported high levels of
sleepiness and chronic fatigue that impeded full
functioning both at work and at home.
CONCLUSIONS: Although high levels of self-reported
fatigue did not show any effects on cognitive function,
other factors in the environment may contribute to
delayed, missed, or inappropriate care. Further research
is indicated.
Studies of worker fatigue in the military and com-
mercial trucking industries1,2 suggest that long hours,
especially extending into overnight, can be hazardous
in terms of the potential for errors due to sleepiness
and reduced vigilance. Medical providers, both nurses
and physicians, are at risk because of the need for
around-the-clock coverage and the number and type
of decisions they must make in a given time span; in
1989, the Bell Commission Report cited sleep depri-
vation in medical house officers as a major contrib-
utor to the 1984 death of Libby Zion, an 18-year-old
who died at New York Hospital, leading to a restruc-
turing of the hours involved in medical residencies.3
The long (up to 36 hour) shifts of the medical resi-
dents in charge of her care and the consequences of
their fatigue on the decisions that were made were
cited as factors in her death. As a result of their inves-
tigation of the case, the Bell commission recommen-
ded limiting the work hours of medical residents to
less than 80 hours a week and no more than 24 hours
in a row, and subsequent research has led to similar
recommendations for the nursing workforce.4,5
Emergency care settings are chaotic environ-
ments, where there is high patient turnover, constantly
changing priorities and frequent changes in patient
condition. High demand work settings are associated
with increased fatigue, which can impair nurses_ at-

In this assignment, students develop a 1,250-1,500 word change proposal paper that applies components worked on throughout the course, including a background, problem statement, purpose, PICOT question, literature search strategy, literature evaluation, change theory, implementation plan with outcomes, and potential barriers. The paper is to be formatted according to APA style guidelines and submitted to Turnitin to check for plagiarism. Feedback from previous assignments should be incorporated. Attached papers provide reference examples and should not be directly plagiarized.
This summary provides the key points from the results section of the research document:
1. The results were categorized into three areas: recovery oriented care, therapeutic milieu, and correlations between patient centered measures.
2. Statistical tests like the Pearson correlation coefficient and t-tests were used to analyze the results.
3. The results indicated that patients and providers perceived the level of recovery-oriented services in the forensic mental health hospital to be satisfactory. However, patients' ratings for treatment options and discussing spiritual needs were lower.
4. Some significant differences in scores were also found between patients and providers.
This document summarizes an evidence-based project recommending peritoneal dialysis as a treatment option for eligible dialysis patients. The author conducted a literature review finding evidence that peritoneal dialysis has better quality of life outcomes and lower mortality rates than hemodialysis. A plan is proposed to educate nephrologists and nurses on these findings and incorporate decision aids to help patients choose dialysis treatment. Measurable outcomes include improved quality of life, lower mortality, and fewer hospitalizations for patients choosing peritoneal dialysis.

The identification of research problem is the first and foremost step that every researcher has to undertake. What is hard for a nurse to do in evidence-based practice (EBP) is coming up with a clinical question that can be answered with research evidence (Polit & Beck, 2012). Knowing this, a clinical question that is patient focuseds and important significant to nursing can help obtain the knowledge needed to addressing the needs of certain patient populations (Thibane, Thomas & and Ye, 2009). A nurse making a clinical question that can be answered requires a game plan that can identify pertinent nursing issues. Furthermore, the nurse must put that nursing issue into an easy format to research. Doing so will endure allow the best evidence to realize EBP (Richardson, 2009). Analyzing present issues in nursing connected to evidence based practices for ICU delirium, a nurse should have the capability to identify certain steps in making a well-rounded clinical question that is structured and focusesd on the key features to help complete evidence based practice DS Dr. Sullivan Your introductory paragraph is good but you could make it better by including one sentence that clearly defines the purpose of the paper. This is usually the last sentence in the introductory paragraph.

Developing a research problem is a creative process (Polit and Beck, 2012, p.76). Neuro-trauma ICU patients typically have an increased need for sleep. However, the ICU setting predisposes ICU patients to sleep deprivation due to exposure to bright lights, high noise levels, regular intrusion of staff and visitors, and patient care activities. Current evidence suggests that a relationship exists among sleep, delirium, and mortality DS Dr. Sullivan Use of resources or references would have added credibility to your discussion

Critique of Quantitative, Qualitative, or Mixed Method Design
Both quantitative and qualitative methods play a pivotal role in nursing research. Qualitative research helps nurses and other healthcare workers to understand the experiences of the patients on health and illness. Quantitative data allows researchers to use an accurate approach in data collection and analysis. When using quantitative techniques, data can be analyzed using either descriptive statistics or inferential statistics which allows the researchers to derive important facts like demographics, preference trends, and differences between the groups. The paper comprehensively critiques quantitative and quantitative techniques of research. Furthermore, the author will also give reasons as to why qualitative methods should be regarded as scientific.
The overall value of quantitative and Qualitative Research
Quantitative studies allow the researchers to present data in terms of numbers. Since data is in numeric form, researchers can apply statistical techniques in analyzing it. These include descriptive statistics like mean, mode, median, standard deviation and inferential statistics such as ANOVA, t-tests, correlation and regression analysis. Statistical analysis allows us to derive important facts from data such as preference trends, demographics, and differences between groups. For instance, by conducting a mixed methods study to determine the feeding experiences of infants among teen mothers in North Carolina, Tucker and colleagues were able to compare breastfeeding trends among various population groups. The multiple groups compared were likely to initiate breastfeeding as follows: Hispanic teens 89%, Black American teens 41%, and White teens 52% (Tucker et al., 2011).
The high strength of quantitative analysis lies in providing data that is descriptive. The descriptive statistics helps us to capture a snapshot of the population. When analyzed appropriate, the descriptive data enables us to make general conclusions concerning the population. For instance, through detailed data analysis, Tucker and co-researchers were able to observe that there were a large number of adolescents who ceased breastfeeding within the first month drawing the need for nurses to conduct individualized follow-ups the early days after hospital discharge. These follow-ups would significantly assist in addressing the conventional technical problems and offer support in managing back to school transition (Tucker et al., 2011).
Qualitative research allows researchers to determine the client’s perspective on healthcare. It enables researchers to observe certain behaviors and experiences amo.

Introduction
Literature review represents very integral aspects of the research process. It is aimed at deriving out the current knowledge on the selected topic including the common patterns, contradictions, and gaps and, as a result, aid in determining what needs to be done by future researchers. In the present paper, the aim is to analyze and synthesize studies that have been conducted focusing on ICU Quiet time and more particularly, the effects of strict enforcement of scheduled hours of rest time on multiple incidences of delirium in adult critical-care patients in the ICU.
History
The onset of ICU Quiet time has been reported as dating back in the 1960s. It originated in the North America and, in particular, Quebec, Canada. It took place as a result of the natural continuation of creativity and innovations that occurred in Quebec. The period saw the introduction of the Hospital Insurance and Diagnostic Services Act, which brought rise to the concept and practice of public health insurance. This triggered the implementation of varied infrastructural projects in the health care. It is in the course of these changes that quiet time in ICUs was introduced with the aim of speeding up the healing of the patients. This practice prevails even in the modern day times.
Current Evidence
For a considerable period, research on ICU Quiet time has been rampant. Most of the frequent cited studies include Gardner, Collins, Osborne, Henderson, and Eastwood (2008), Maidl, Leske, and Garcia (2013), Olson, Borel, Laskowitz, Moore, and McConnell (2001), Richardson, Thompson, Coghill, Chambers, and Turnock (2009), Taylor (2008) and Weinhouse et al. (2009).
In their study, Gardner, Collins, Osborne, Henderson, and Eastwood (2008) used a sample of 299 participants. The sample received a scheduled quiet time intervention. In the process, the researchers evaluated the levels of noise, the rest of the inpatients, their sleep behaviors, and their well-being. It was concluded that the majority of the ICU patients are not usually concerned with noise. However, they often prefer a period in which they are not exposed to noise. The researchers also identified that nurses also see a great value in ICU Quiet time. In another study by Maidl, Leske, and Garcia (2013), the researchers carried out a set of non-randomized, uncontrolled quiet time trials in ICUs. The intervention involved a reduction of the environmental stressors and enhanced patient rest prior to the onset of the trials. It was determined that ICU patients often prefer quiet time. Also, according to the researchers, the nursing practitioners that work in the ICUs also value quiet time as they are allowed to chart and, as a result, reduce their levels of stress. In the process, better care is .

Main Post
When conducting research, it is necessary that the researcher not only know how to find the sources needed to answer the question that they have created but also how to analyze that information to understand which research design was used. Doing so will allow the researcher to provide the evidence needed to support or reject the question being asked. Quantitative research is the investigation of phenomena that lends themselves to precise measurement and quantification, often involving a controlled design (Polit & Beck, 2017). This discussion will look at two different quantitative studies and the qualities that make them so.
Sleep Apnea Study Number One
This study by Boulos et al.(2017) looks at the effectiveness of using home sleep apnea testing (HSAT) as a means of detecting obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) inpatients and outpatients. OSA can negatively impact poststroke functional recovery and by using HSAT these patients can be screened and diagnosed for OSA sooner and improve their poststroke functional and motor recovery (Boulos et al., 2017).
The question being asked is therapeutic in nature. The design of the study is listed under the methods section as a single-center prospective observational study. An observational study means that the researchers do not intervene by manipulating the independent variable (Polit & Beck, 2017). The independent variable within this study would be that all participants have had a stroke or TIA. Prospective designs are studies that begin with a presumed cause and look forward in time for its effect (Polit & Beck, 2017). Within this study, OSA was the presumed cause in a delay of functional and motor recovery for those patients who suffered a stroke or TIA. This design method was appropriate for the group being used. A control group would not have helped to validate the use of HSAT in stroke recovery since those within that group would not be suffering from the same effects. The use of t-tests, Wilcoxon rank sum-test, and multivariate logistic regression were used to analyze the data (Boulos et al., 2017). The results demonstrated that the use of HSAT in the poststroke or TIA population was effective at expediting the diagnosis and treatment of OSA (Boulos et al., 2017).

The study focused on increasing patient satisfaction and safety
through bedside reporting at Catholic Healthare West (CHW).
Qualitative Research
Participants included hospital staff, leaders, and patients.
Nurse supervisors observed bedside reporting at change of shift. They then filled out a questionnaire that had to be checked off to ensure bedside reporting was done correctly.
Bedside reporting made a positive impact in the hospital. Its success was witnessed by nurse leadership rounding on patients in the hospital.
The sample of participants was small and only one department of the hospital was used.
The findings conclude the positive outcomes on patient satisfaction with bedside reporting.

Evidence proves bedside reporting is beneficial. This study tries to develop a protocol for nurses to follow when shift report is given at bedside.
Qualitative research.
A sample of 30 admitted, consenting patients were used. The patients were admitted to one of the three departments where the process of bedside report had been implemented for at least one year.
All data was collected from the answers from the patients through audio-recorded interviews. A research assistant and a registered nurse were present in the interview.
Four essential components came out of the study. Some regarded patient feelings and some regarded possible changes. Patients felt bedside reporting was ‘effective and personalized’ (1). They felt empowered in their care (2). Some felt their privacy was at jeopardy (3), thus allowing for training (4) in this sensitive matter.
The study was limited to three departments in the hospital and no clear generalizability came out of it. Sample collected was small.

Rapid response teams (RRTs) are designed to respond to patients whose condition is deteriorating. Two studies examined the impact of RRTs through qualitative and quantitative methods. The qualitative study interviewed healthcare providers and identified themes around RRTs' effects on patient care, workload, and education. The quantitative study found that implementing an RRT significantly reduced mortality rates, cardiopulmonary arrests, and length of stay. Both studies concluded that RRTs provide early intervention that improves outcomes, though their structures and processes could still be enhanced. The proposed evidence-based practice change is to establish an RRT in inpatient settings to handle emergencies.
The document summarizes two small studies conducted by students to examine the relationship between inadequate sleep and unintentional injuries. A qualitative study using an online focus group of 4 students explored perceptions of sleep and injuries. It found inadequate sleep negatively impacts health and can increase risks. A quantitative survey of 18 students further examined the relationship, finding agreement that inadequate sleep impacts judgment and awareness and may increase injury risks. Both studies had limitations as student exercises but provided insight into how policies could help address the issue.

On a daily basis, healthcare providers are faced with an array of clinical decisions to be made in an efficient and timely manner. Translating evidence into best practices is one way to achieve this. Without current best evidence, practice is rapidly outdated, often to the detriment of the patient. Evidence based practice is the conscientious use of current best practice in making decisions about patient care (Sackett, Richardson, Rosenberg, & Hayes, 2000). It is important for health care professionals to ask questions about their current clinical practice. In this week’s threaded discussion you will ask that burning question that you ask in your daily care of your patients.
You’ll need to focus on asking the right questions, narrowing the questions to one that is nurse driven and the need for change is evident. The question that you formulate will be the question for your Capstone Project.
The process of reviewing scholarly articles for a change in practice is an important part of the development of any type of research project that can lead to a change in practice. As you are appraising the systematic review and other scholarly articles for your change project, think about areas of the article such as sample size, the population, type of study, discussion and limitations. Critiquing a research article will allow you to evaluate the scientific merit of the study and decide how the results may be useful in practice.

Szeto et al. (2010) conducted a pilot study focused on the investigation of the effectiveness of multifaceted ergonomic interventions aimed at community nurses (p. 1022). The results of the pilot study indicate that such interventions improved symptoms and functional outcomes. Pilot studies are typically conducted to evaluate the possibility of a large study and identify complications that may occur. One of the issues that could be considered problematic is that the authors emphasize the importance of statistical significance while overlooking the importance of feasibility. Nevertheless, one may argue that the discussed study is aligned with the definition of a pilot study because it focused on a specific population, and the authors relied on a small sample. Differently put, it would be inappropriate to generalize the results of the study, but it has helped the researchers to assess whether research in this area is feasible. Therefore, a larger study focused on this issue was conducted at a later rate. Szeto et al. (2013) attempted to evaluate the effectiveness of multifaceted ergonomic interventions in four local hospitals aimed at community nurses (p. 414). One of the unique aspects of the study is that the participants involved in the pilot study agreed to continue to participate in research in this area. Therefore, researchers were able to keep track of their progress and evaluated the impact of interventions in the long-term. Moreover, they expanded the explanatory power of the study by increasing the sample size and introducing a self-control group. The results of the study indicate that multifaceted ergonomic interventions designed based on the needs of community nurses decrease symptoms and improve functional outcomes. One has to acknowledge the fact that this study has a set of limitations because researchers focused on local hospitals, and it may be inappropriate to generalize the results. Therefore, it would be appropriate to conduct large-scale studies in this area to establish the overall effectiveness of multifaceted ergonomic interventions.

This document summarizes a research proposal that investigates the effects of different rehabilitation methods on pain levels after spinal decompression surgery. The study will compare self-managed rehabilitation, physical therapy, and medication therapy over 2 years using patient surveys to track pain frequency and recovery. Based on previous literature, physical therapy is expected to result in the lowest pain scores and best performance on daily activity tests compared to home therapy and medication management alone. The results will help identify the most effective approach to rehabilitation for improving patient outcomes after back surgery.

Implementing Evidence-Based Practice in Taiwanese Nursing Ho.docxwilcockiris
This study investigated the attitudes toward and perceived barriers and facilitators of evidence-based practice among 89 registered nurses working in nursing homes in Taiwan. The nurses expressed positive attitudes toward research and EBP. The most frequently cited barriers were related to insufficient authority to change practice, difficulty understanding statistical analyses, and isolation from knowledgeable colleagues. Perceived facilitators included improved computer/Internet access, more effective research training, and collaboration with academic nurses. The findings were similar to prior Western research and indicate further research education for nursing home nurses could be beneficial.

Evidence-Based Practices to Guide Clinical Practices
In other terms recognized as evidence-based medication, evidence-based scientific practice is elucidated as the careful, obvious, and judicious use of the best indication in creating results for the outstanding care of separate patients. It helps those who brand the choices to device best healthcare practices while drawing the roadmaps for the health system. In clinical trials, the integration of the EBCP entails clinical respiratory medicine considers two fundamental principles. For example, the principle is the hierarchy of the evidence and the art of clinical decision-making.
The interrelationship between the theory, research, and EBP
The relationship between the theory, research, and the EBP supports the three recognition programs. They still relate in terms of the magnet model component of modern knowledge, innovation, and advancement. They describe in a way in which they lead to the promotion of quality in a setting that makes supports professional practices. Second, there is the identification of excellence in giving nursing services to sick people or the people who stay around. For instance, the model, which is other terms the magnet theory, has got five components ( Reddy, 2018).
The first constituent includes transformational management; the additional is structural authorization. The third one is archetypal specialized practices, new information, invention, and upgrading. Lastly, in the model, there are the empirical quality outcomes. For the achievement of the aims of the goals that have been set, there is a need to make sure that the theory, current knowledge innovation, and the improvements and the components that are found in view all the nurses who are located in the levels of the healthcare company need to get involved.
The research has its primary purpose for the help of coming up with knowledge or the validation done for the knowledge that has always been there from before based on the theory. There is systematic, scientific questioning in the research to give the answers to some of the specific questions. It can use the test hypotheses and the rigorous method, the primary purpose of the study being for investigation knowing of the new things and the exploration. There is a need to understand the philosophy of science.
Second, on the EBP, there is no development of the new knowledge or even the learning being validated. The primary purpose of the EBP is to translate the evidence and then apply it to medical executive. It uses the indication available to brand patient-care choices. The EBP goes yonder the exploration as fine as the persevering penchants and ideals. The EBP retains into deliberation that the best indication is for the opinion leaders and the experts. Even though there is the existence of definitiv ...

Why Are Nurses Leaving? Findings
From an Initial Qualitative Study on
Nursing Attrition
In the United States, nursing workforce projections indicate the registerednurse (RN) shortage may exceed 500,000 RNs by 2025 (American
Association of Colleges of Nursing [AACN], 2010; Cipriano, 2006; U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services, 2002). In 2008, the national RN
vacancy rate in the United States was greater than 8% (AACN, 2010).
Evidence suggests experiences as a newly licensed RN directly impact indi-
vidual perceptions related to the profession (Cowin & Hengstberger-Sims,
2006). An estimated 30%-50% of all new RNs elect either to change positions
or leave nursing completely within the first 3 years of clinical practice
(AACN, 2003; Aiken, Clarke, Sloane, Sochalski, & Silber, 2002; Cipriano, 2006;
Cowin & Hengstberger-Sims, 2006). While an abundance of data exist regard-
ing the RN who stays at the bedside, few studies have explored the percep-
tions of the RN who decides to leave clinical nursing. Understanding factors
associated with RNs’ practice decisions is the first step necessary in devel-
oping effective nursing-retention strategies.
Purpose
The purpose of this study was to identify the factors influencing the
decision of RNs to leave clinical nursing practice. Nurses who had elected
to leave clinical nursing were interviewed at the setting of their choice.
Previous clinical nursing experience included a variety of clinical practice
settings. For this study, the term clinical nursing is defined as providing
direct patient care in the hospital setting.
Background
Limited data exist about individuals no longer employed in nursing; no
literature was found about the perceptions or decision-making processes of
RNs no longer in clinical practice. A review of the literature was conducted
searching nursing, medical, labor, and psychological/sociological databas-
es. Years of search ended with 2007, the year of the interviews. A broad
search began with GoogleScholar® and was narrowed to include CINAHL,
MEDline, PsycINFO, and LexisNexis. Several issues concerning practice
decisions are associated with the current nursing shortage, including job
dissatisfaction (Aiken et al., 2002; Buerhaus, Donelan, Ulrich, Norman, &
Dittus, 2005), an aging workforce coupled with increased demands
(Auerbach, Buerhaus, & Staiger, 2007), and problematic relationships
among members of the health care team (Aiken et al., 2002). While these fac-
tors may lead to increased nursing attrition, they have not been explored
from the perspective of the former RN. A thorough examination of RNs’ per-
ceptions regarding the decision to ...
Obtaining Patient Information and Anxiety in Novice Nursing Students ,Article...jour644
Novice nursing students experience high anxiety levels during their first clinical rotation due to a lack of experience in unfamiliar clinical environments. This study assessed anxiety levels and the ability of novice nursing students to obtain essential patient information from the previous shift at the beginning, middle, and end of their first clinical rotation. The study found that students' anxiety levels decreased significantly over the course of the rotation as they gained experience. While students improved at obtaining some information like vital signs and lab results, less than half obtained pain levels at any point. The study recommends providing clearer guidance to students on essential information to obtain from shift reports.
This study evaluated the effects of dance therapy for people with schizophrenia or schizophrenia-like illnesses compared to standard care. A single study with 45 participants found that those receiving dance therapy plus routine care had significantly greater reduction in negative symptoms compared to routine care alone, based on PANSS scores. However, there were no differences between groups in overall PANSS scores, positive symptoms, satisfaction, or quality of life. The authors concluded that there is currently insufficient evidence to support or refute the use of dance therapy for schizophrenia due to the single small study available. Further high-quality research is needed.
Evidence-based practice (EBP) aims to help healthcare organizations meet the Quadruple Aim of improving patient experience, population health, costs, and provider work life. EBP integrates research evidence, clinical expertise, and patient values into decision-making. It can help enhance patient experience through better care, improve population health by generating insight into health characteristics, reduce costs by improving value and seamless data tracking, and improve provider work life by identifying stressors and easing burdens. Overall, EBP provides an approach for organizations to consider when aiming to achieve the balanced objectives of the Quadruple Aim.

Literature Review: ICU Quiet Time

Running head: LITERATURE REVIEW 8
Introduction
Literature review represents very integral aspects of the research process. It is aimed at deriving out the current knowledge on the selected topic including the common patterns, contradictions, and gaps and, as a result, aid in determining what needs to be done by future researchers. In the present paper, the aim is to analyze and synthesize studies that have been conducted focusing on ICU Quiet time and more particularly, the effects of strict enforcement of scheduled hours of rest time on multiple incidences of delirium in adult critical-care patients in the ICU.
History
The onset of ICU Quiet time has been reported as dating back in the 1960s. It originated in the North America and, in particular, Quebec, Canada. It took place as a result of the natural continuation of creativity and innovations that occurred in Quebec. The period saw the introduction of the Hospital Insurance and Diagnostic Services Act, which brought rise to the concept and practice of public health insurance. This triggered the implementation of varied infrastructural projects in the health care. It is in the course of these changes that quiet time in ICUs was introduced with the aim of speeding up the healing of the patients. This practice prevails even in the modern day times.
Current Evidence
For a considerable period, research on ICU Quiet time has been rampant. Most of the frequent cited studies include Gardner, Collins, Osborne, Henderson, and Eastwood (2008), Maidl, Leske, and Garcia (2013), Olson, Borel, Laskowitz, Moore, and McConnell (2001), Richardson, Thompson, Coghill, Chambers, and Turnock (2009), Taylor (2008) and Weinhouse et al. (2009).
In their study, Gardner, Collins, Osborne, Henderson, and Eastwood (2008) used a sample of 299 participants. The sample received a scheduled quiet time intervention. In the process, the researchers evaluated the levels of noise, the rest of the inpatients, their sleep behaviors, and their well-being. It was concluded that the majority of the ICU patients are not usually concerned with noise. However, they often prefer a period in which they are not exposed to noise. The researchers also identified that nurses also see a great value in ICU Quiet time. In another study by Maidl, Leske, and Garcia (2013), the researchers carried out a set of non-randomized, uncontrolled quiet time trials in ICUs. The intervention involved a reduction of the environmental stressors and enhanced patient rest prior to the onset of the trials. It was determined that ICU patients often prefer quiet time. Also, according to the researchers, the nursing practitioners that work in the ICUs also value quiet time as they are allowed to chart and, as a result, reduce their levels of stress. In the process, better care is .

Main Post
When conducting research, it is necessary that the researcher not only know how to find the sources needed to answer the question that they have created but also how to analyze that information to understand which research design was used. Doing so will allow the researcher to provide the evidence needed to support or reject the question being asked. Quantitative research is the investigation of phenomena that lends themselves to precise measurement and quantification, often involving a controlled design (Polit & Beck, 2017). This discussion will look at two different quantitative studies and the qualities that make them so.
Sleep Apnea Study Number One
This study by Boulos et al.(2017) looks at the effectiveness of using home sleep apnea testing (HSAT) as a means of detecting obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) inpatients and outpatients. OSA can negatively impact poststroke functional recovery and by using HSAT these patients can be screened and diagnosed for OSA sooner and improve their poststroke functional and motor recovery (Boulos et al., 2017).
The question being asked is therapeutic in nature. The design of the study is listed under the methods section as a single-center prospective observational study. An observational study means that the researchers do not intervene by manipulating the independent variable (Polit & Beck, 2017). The independent variable within this study would be that all participants have had a stroke or TIA. Prospective designs are studies that begin with a presumed cause and look forward in time for its effect (Polit & Beck, 2017). Within this study, OSA was the presumed cause in a delay of functional and motor recovery for those patients who suffered a stroke or TIA. This design method was appropriate for the group being used. A control group would not have helped to validate the use of HSAT in stroke recovery since those within that group would not be suffering from the same effects. The use of t-tests, Wilcoxon rank sum-test, and multivariate logistic regression were used to analyze the data (Boulos et al., 2017). The results demonstrated that the use of HSAT in the poststroke or TIA population was effective at expediting the diagnosis and treatment of OSA (Boulos et al., 2017).

The study focused on increasing patient satisfaction and safety
through bedside reporting at Catholic Healthare West (CHW).
Qualitative Research
Participants included hospital staff, leaders, and patients.
Nurse supervisors observed bedside reporting at change of shift. They then filled out a questionnaire that had to be checked off to ensure bedside reporting was done correctly.
Bedside reporting made a positive impact in the hospital. Its success was witnessed by nurse leadership rounding on patients in the hospital.
The sample of participants was small and only one department of the hospital was used.
The findings conclude the positive outcomes on patient satisfaction with bedside reporting.

Evidence proves bedside reporting is beneficial. This study tries to develop a protocol for nurses to follow when shift report is given at bedside.
Qualitative research.
A sample of 30 admitted, consenting patients were used. The patients were admitted to one of the three departments where the process of bedside report had been implemented for at least one year.
All data was collected from the answers from the patients through audio-recorded interviews. A research assistant and a registered nurse were present in the interview.
Four essential components came out of the study. Some regarded patient feelings and some regarded possible changes. Patients felt bedside reporting was ‘effective and personalized’ (1). They felt empowered in their care (2). Some felt their privacy was at jeopardy (3), thus allowing for training (4) in this sensitive matter.
The study was limited to three departments in the hospital and no clear generalizability came out of it. Sample collected was small.

Rapid response teams (RRTs) are designed to respond to patients whose condition is deteriorating. Two studies examined the impact of RRTs through qualitative and quantitative methods. The qualitative study interviewed healthcare providers and identified themes around RRTs' effects on patient care, workload, and education. The quantitative study found that implementing an RRT significantly reduced mortality rates, cardiopulmonary arrests, and length of stay. Both studies concluded that RRTs provide early intervention that improves outcomes, though their structures and processes could still be enhanced. The proposed evidence-based practice change is to establish an RRT in inpatient settings to handle emergencies.
The document summarizes two small studies conducted by students to examine the relationship between inadequate sleep and unintentional injuries. A qualitative study using an online focus group of 4 students explored perceptions of sleep and injuries. It found inadequate sleep negatively impacts health and can increase risks. A quantitative survey of 18 students further examined the relationship, finding agreement that inadequate sleep impacts judgment and awareness and may increase injury risks. Both studies had limitations as student exercises but provided insight into how policies could help address the issue.

On a daily basis, healthcare providers are faced with an array of clinical decisions to be made in an efficient and timely manner. Translating evidence into best practices is one way to achieve this. Without current best evidence, practice is rapidly outdated, often to the detriment of the patient. Evidence based practice is the conscientious use of current best practice in making decisions about patient care (Sackett, Richardson, Rosenberg, & Hayes, 2000). It is important for health care professionals to ask questions about their current clinical practice. In this week’s threaded discussion you will ask that burning question that you ask in your daily care of your patients.
You’ll need to focus on asking the right questions, narrowing the questions to one that is nurse driven and the need for change is evident. The question that you formulate will be the question for your Capstone Project.
The process of reviewing scholarly articles for a change in practice is an important part of the development of any type of research project that can lead to a change in practice. As you are appraising the systematic review and other scholarly articles for your change project, think about areas of the article such as sample size, the population, type of study, discussion and limitations. Critiquing a research article will allow you to evaluate the scientific merit of the study and decide how the results may be useful in practice.

In other terms recognized as evidence-based medication, evidence-based scientific practice is elucidated as the careful, obvious, and judicious use of the best indication in creating results for the outstanding care of separate patients. It helps those who brand the choices to device best healthcare practices while drawing the roadmaps for the health system. In clinical trials, the integration of the EBCP entails clinical respiratory medicine considers two fundamental principles. For example, the principle is the hierarchy of the evidence and the art of clinical decision-making.
The interrelationship between the theory, research, and EBP
The relationship between the theory, research, and the EBP supports the three recognition programs. They still relate in terms of the magnet model component of modern knowledge, innovation, and advancement. They describe in a way in which they lead to the promotion of quality in a setting that makes supports professional practices. Second, there is the identification of excellence in giving nursing services to sick people or the people who stay around. For instance, the model, which is other terms the magnet theory, has got five components ( Reddy, 2018).
The first constituent includes transformational management; the additional is structural authorization. The third one is archetypal specialized practices, new information, invention, and upgrading. Lastly, in the model, there are the empirical quality outcomes. For the achievement of the aims of the goals that have been set, there is a need to make sure that the theory, current knowledge innovation, and the improvements and the components that are found in view all the nurses who are located in the levels of the healthcare company need to get involved.
The research has its primary purpose for the help of coming up with knowledge or the validation done for the knowledge that has always been there from before based on the theory. There is systematic, scientific questioning in the research to give the answers to some of the specific questions. It can use the test hypotheses and the rigorous method, the primary purpose of the study being for investigation knowing of the new things and the exploration. There is a need to understand the philosophy of science.
Second, on the EBP, there is no development of the new knowledge or even the learning being validated. The primary purpose of the EBP is to translate the evidence and then apply it to medical executive. It uses the indication available to brand patient-care choices. The EBP goes yonder the exploration as fine as the persevering penchants and ideals. The EBP retains into deliberation that the best indication is for the opinion leaders and the experts. Even though there is the existence of definitiv ...

Why Are Nurses Leaving? Findings
From an Initial Qualitative Study on
Nursing Attrition
In the United States, nursing workforce projections indicate the registerednurse (RN) shortage may exceed 500,000 RNs by 2025 (American
Association of Colleges of Nursing [AACN], 2010; Cipriano, 2006; U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services, 2002). In 2008, the national RN
vacancy rate in the United States was greater than 8% (AACN, 2010).
Evidence suggests experiences as a newly licensed RN directly impact indi-
vidual perceptions related to the profession (Cowin & Hengstberger-Sims,
2006). An estimated 30%-50% of all new RNs elect either to change positions
or leave nursing completely within the first 3 years of clinical practice
(AACN, 2003; Aiken, Clarke, Sloane, Sochalski, & Silber, 2002; Cipriano, 2006;
Cowin & Hengstberger-Sims, 2006). While an abundance of data exist regard-
ing the RN who stays at the bedside, few studies have explored the percep-
tions of the RN who decides to leave clinical nursing. Understanding factors
associated with RNs’ practice decisions is the first step necessary in devel-
oping effective nursing-retention strategies.
Purpose
The purpose of this study was to identify the factors influencing the
decision of RNs to leave clinical nursing practice. Nurses who had elected
to leave clinical nursing were interviewed at the setting of their choice.
Previous clinical nursing experience included a variety of clinical practice
settings. For this study, the term clinical nursing is defined as providing
direct patient care in the hospital setting.
Background
Limited data exist about individuals no longer employed in nursing; no
literature was found about the perceptions or decision-making processes of
RNs no longer in clinical practice. A review of the literature was conducted
searching nursing, medical, labor, and psychological/sociological databas-
es. Years of search ended with 2007, the year of the interviews. A broad
search began with GoogleScholar® and was narrowed to include CINAHL,
MEDline, PsycINFO, and LexisNexis. Several issues concerning practice
decisions are associated with the current nursing shortage, including job
dissatisfaction (Aiken et al., 2002; Buerhaus, Donelan, Ulrich, Norman, &
Dittus, 2005), an aging workforce coupled with increased demands
(Auerbach, Buerhaus, & Staiger, 2007), and problematic relationships
among members of the health care team (Aiken et al., 2002). While these fac-
tors may lead to increased nursing attrition, they have not been explored
from the perspective of the former RN. A thorough examination of RNs’ per-
ceptions regarding the decision to ...
Obtaining Patient Information and Anxiety in Novice Nursing Students ,Article...jour644
Novice nursing students experience high anxiety levels during their first clinical rotation due to a lack of experience in unfamiliar clinical environments. This study assessed anxiety levels and the ability of novice nursing students to obtain essential patient information from the previous shift at the beginning, middle, and end of their first clinical rotation. The study found that students' anxiety levels decreased significantly over the course of the rotation as they gained experience. While students improved at obtaining some information like vital signs and lab results, less than half obtained pain levels at any point. The study recommends providing clearer guidance to students on essential information to obtain from shift reports.
This study evaluated the effects of dance therapy for people with schizophrenia or schizophrenia-like illnesses compared to standard care. A single study with 45 participants found that those receiving dance therapy plus routine care had significantly greater reduction in negative symptoms compared to routine care alone, based on PANSS scores. However, there were no differences between groups in overall PANSS scores, positive symptoms, satisfaction, or quality of life. The authors concluded that there is currently insufficient evidence to support or refute the use of dance therapy for schizophrenia due to the single small study available. Further high-quality research is needed.
Evidence-based practice (EBP) aims to help healthcare organizations meet the Quadruple Aim of improving patient experience, population health, costs, and provider work life. EBP integrates research evidence, clinical expertise, and patient values into decision-making. It can help enhance patient experience through better care, improve population health by generating insight into health characteristics, reduce costs by improving value and seamless data tracking, and improve provider work life by identifying stressors and easing burdens. Overall, EBP provides an approach for organizations to consider when aiming to achieve the balanced objectives of the Quadruple Aim.

This article discusses racial disparities in hospital segregation in Jackson, Mississippi in the 1960s. It describes how the city's black community organized protests and filed lawsuits to desegregate white hospitals and gain equal access to healthcare. While progress was made through these efforts, racial inequities still persisted in the quality of facilities and treatment between black and white patients. The article provides insights into the political and social challenges of promoting desegregation and reducing healthcare disparities during the Civil Rights era.
Race alone is an inadequate category for studying labor histories because it does not account for other factors like gender. When telephone operator jobs transformed from predominantly white to black workers, African American women faced discrimination and stereotyping in their roles. Bell System's hiring policies and perceptions of black women were guided by wider societal racism and sexism. Bell publications portrayed African Americans in stereotypical, demeaning ways. The New York Telephone Company initially refused to hire African Americans in 1920 due to concerns about customer prejudice, and again in the 1930s during a period of high unemployment that exacerbated racial tensions. Prior to 1940, AT&T had very limited hiring of African American women for telephone operator jobs. The Civil Rights era prompted changes to Bell

interactions in the intensive care unit. Journal of Surgical Research, (2), 310. The article
addresses the long-standing problem of patient’s in the ICU area being sleep deprived due
to increased interaction in that area. Various specialized ICU’s were looked at during the
night shift for nursing interactions between the hours of 10 pm and 6 am. It was
hypothesized that patient’s in these areas suffered from sleep disruption from all of nursing
interaction during the night shift. The data collect was done in this cohort study by direct
observation. The population was over 200 patients in various ICU’s in an academic hospital.
One of the main weaknesses of the study is that nurses were recording so this could
introduce some bias into the study. It was also noted that there was a difference in the
acuity of each ICU so that can make it challenging to obtain consistent data due to acuity and

ICU. In reading this study it is now understood that there can be some lasting effects from
lack of sleep leaving the ICU. The participants discussed having nightmares and craving
sleep. This can cause some mental, physical, and emotional instability. This empirical study
was well presented. Face-to-face interviews were conducted on patients that were
discharged from the ICU two weeks out. The age ranged from 20-76 so that gave a good
population mix for data collection. There were even some interviews conducted 6-8 months
post discharge. This was also good for data collection and the study’s validity. Fourth Article

how noise and light are the biggest culprits of sleep disruption in the ICU. It is almost
inevitable that the patient in the critical care unit will not be able to rest properly largely
due to these two factors. As a result, there was a study conducted for the effects of earplugs
and eye shield use and quality sleep. This was a cross-over clinical trial that included 50
patients from the ICU from a local hospital. The patients were picked randomly and
separated into two groups which speaks volumes to validity and bias. It was concluded that
though the use of the earplugs and eye shield was a cost effective was to help alleviate sleep
disruption, there needed to be further research to prove whether there was a real effect on
quality of sleep. Briefly describe what you have learned from feedback given by your
instructor regarding your PICOT question. How will you frame your PICOT differently
moving forward? Be specific about what components, if any, that you will change. The input
that I received for my PICOT question was to be more specific about the patient outcomes.
So I focused on the issue at hand, the quality of rest for the patient. It was also suggested
that I be specific about the time for the data collection. Both of those suggestions were very
relevant and drove me to look at my PICOT question again. I thank the instructor and my
