Discussion – Week 1

Top of Form

Part 1: Patient Safety Problem

One significant patient safety problem in many healthcare settings is medication errors. Medication errors can occur at any stage of the medication process, including prescribing, transcribing, dispensing, administering, and monitoring. These errors can result from a variety of causes, such as miscommunication among healthcare providers, similar drug names, poor handwriting, lack of patient information, and distractions during the medication administration process. The impact of medication errors on patient outcomes is profound, leading to adverse drug events, increased morbidity and mortality, prolonged hospital stays, and additional healthcare costs (McIntyre, Cover, & Bonner, 2019).

A specific change in practice to address medication errors is the implementation of a comprehensive medication reconciliation process. Medication reconciliation involves verifying the patient’s medication information at each transition of care to ensure consistency and accuracy. This process includes comparing the patient’s current medications with new orders and resolving any discrepancies. Additionally, using electronic health records (EHRs) and computerized physician order entry (CPOE) systems can reduce errors by providing decision support and standardizing medication orders. Education and training of healthcare staff on proper medication administration and the importance of double-checking medications can also play a crucial role in minimizing errors (Gray & Grove, 2021).

Part 2: Research on Patient Safety Problem

To determine the effectiveness of the proposed practice change in improving patient outcomes, the following research question could be developed: “Does the implementation of a comprehensive medication reconciliation process reduce the incidence of medication errors in hospitalized patients?” To answer this research question, a quasi-experimental design would be most appropriate. A quasi-experimental design allows for comparison between groups receiving the intervention (medication reconciliation) and those not receiving it, while not requiring random assignment.

Quasi-experimental designs are advantageous because they are practical and feasible in real-world clinical settings where randomization might not be possible or ethical. They allow for the evaluation of interventions in a naturalistic environment, providing valuable information on the intervention’s effectiveness in routine practice. Additionally, this design can control for confounding variables through statistical methods, enhancing the validity of the findings (Gray & Grove, 2021).

On the other hand, a true experimental design, such as a randomized controlled trial (RCT), might not be suitable for this type of study due to ethical considerations and the difficulty of randomizing patients to different levels of care within a single healthcare setting. Descriptive research, while useful for understanding the scope and nature of medication errors, would not provide information on the causal relationship between the intervention and patient outcomes. Correlational research could identify associations between medication reconciliation and reduced errors but would not establish causality. Qualitative research, although valuable for exploring healthcare providers’ experiences and perceptions, would not quantitatively measure the intervention’s impact on medication error rates (Gray & Grove, 2021).

Responses to Colleagues

Response to Ahmed

Ahmed, your discussion on the importance of a comprehensive medication reconciliation process to reduce medication errors is insightful. The distinction you made between a true experimental design and a quasi-experimental design is crucial in understanding their application in real-world clinical settings. While a true experimental design, like an RCT, offers high internal validity through randomization, the feasibility and ethical considerations often limit its use in healthcare settings (Gray & Grove, 2021). Quasi-experimental designs, although lacking randomization, provide a more practical approach, especially when evaluating interventions already integrated into clinical practice. Your emphasis on the need for practical feasibility in research design is well-founded, considering the dynamic nature of healthcare environments.

Response to Merilyn J. Long

Merilyn, your exploration of the differences between true experimental and quasi-experimental designs in implementing practice changes is very well-articulated. You highlighted key considerations such as time, cost, ethical implications, and sample size, which are essential in selecting an appropriate research design (Gray & Grove, 2021). The practical limitations you mentioned regarding experimental designs in healthcare settings, such as withholding standard care, underscore the ethical dilemmas researchers often face. Your approach to discussing the feasibility and applicability of quasi-experimental designs in real-world clinical settings aligns well with the need for research that can be seamlessly integrated into existing healthcare practices. This perspective is vital for ensuring that research findings are not only valid but also applicable in improving patient outcomes.

Week 1: Overview of Research

What is research, and how does research relate to nursing practice?

Nursing practice is based on outcomes and best practices supported by research findings. That is, issues related to health are examined, and proposed solutions to promote patient safety and health care quality are tested to best determine nursing protocols for professional practice. Consider for example, current nursing protocols to minimize patient falls in health care settings. Without research, extensive testing, and an awareness of how to promote solutions to minimize the risk of falls, there is an increased risk that this very real patient problem would get worse.

This week you explore an overview of the different types of research uses in health care settings. You examine how each type of research is used by nurses in providing quality of care and in promoting positive patient safety outcomes. The week will conclude with an overview of the basic elements of the research process: (a) problem identification, (b) review of literature, (c) implementation of research methods, (d) analyses and presentation of findings, and (e) conclusions about implications for practice. NURS 3150/3151: Foundations of Nursing Research.

Discussion: Choosing the Type of Research for a Research Problem

How do you choose the type of research to conduct to address a research problem? What information should you keep in mind to ensure that your research process will adequately address your research problem?

Understanding the different types of research is a critical skill for the nurse researcher and nursing professional. As a current nursing professional, consider how understanding the different types of research may be conducive to achieving a particular mission in your health care setting, such as developing an intervention to address a quality or patient safety problem. This knowledge can also be a step toward assuming a nursing leadership position. As a critical component of your nursing toolkit, differentiating between the types of research is a fundamental step toward enacting change through the process of research.

For this Discussion, please review the following:

Think about clinical practice problems you have seen in health care that compromise patient safety and health outcomes. For example, nursing-sensitive indicators reflect high-priority practice problems, which are described in the article by Martinez, Battaglia, Start, Mastal, and Matlock (2015).
Choose one of the clinical practice problems you have seen in your current or past job in a health care setting. Consider the possible causes of this problem and how you think it is, or was, affecting patient outcomes.
Some patient safety problems are solved by making changes in clinical practice. For example, decreasing catheter-associated urinary tract infections in hospitalized patients often requires changes in clinical practice such as better adherence to preventive measures when catheters are inserted (e.g., use of disposable gloves, maintaining sterile fields, cleansing urethral meatus). For the problem you identified, what specific change in practice do you think is needed?
When a practice change is implemented, it is important to verify whether or not the change has improved patient outcomes. One way to determine this is by conducting research. One of the first steps in the research process involves developing a research question that will later serve as the foundation for your study. Using information from Chapter 5 in your textbook and the handout on developing research questions, think about a research question and about the effectiveness of the practice change you proposed in improving patient outcomes.
Another step in the research process involves identifying which type of research could be conducted to best answer your research question. In Chapter 5 of your textbook you will find a list of different types of research in the first column in Table 5-2, and Table 5-3. You can learn more about these different types of research in both Chapter 2 and the Glossary in your textbook. To locate even more information, you can also use an Internet search engine for more in-depth descriptions and examples. After learning more about the different types of research, think about which one you think is best for determining how well the clinical practice change you identified will improve patient outcomes.

By Day 3

Post a description of how you would address the following:

Part 1: Patient Safety Problem

Describe the patient safety problem you identified, its causes, and the impact you think it has on patient outcomes. For this problem, describe a specific change in practice that could help improve patient outcomes.

Week 3: Quantitative Research Designs and Methods

Andre is a nursing student who has just completed the first 2 weeks in a nursing research course. He has defined a clinical research question for his health care setting and has also determined that the research problem exists in the literature. However, his approach to defining a solution for his research question requires that he receive approval from his health care setting before testing it. However, Andre is not quite sure what he needs to do next. Eager to start, Andre jumps ahead in the course syllabus and sees that in the following weeks he will read about quantitative research design and methods. Slightly confused, he is not quite sure what is meant by quantitative research design and methods and begins drafting an email message to his instructor to see if he might be able to use this information for testing
his research question in practice. NURS 3150/3151: Foundations of Nursing Research

What is quantitative research design? What different methods might exist for engaging in quantitative research for nursing practice?

As you have explored in this course, your next step in the research process is to determine what type of research design and methods you will use to engage in research for your research question. While it is possible that many research designs and methods might be appropriate for your particular research question, gaining a firm understanding of different research designs and methods is another useful skill for engaging in nursing research and practice.

This week, you explore the different categories of quantitative research designs used in a clinical research studies. These include experimental, quasi-experimental, descriptive and correlational designs. You will examine the basic characteristics of each design (e.g., causality, control, bias, validity, randomization, probability). You will also examine the basic features of the methods used to conduct most quantitative research designs, such as sample selection, data collection and measurement of variables, as well as data management and analyses.

Learning Objectives

Students will:

Demonstrate an understanding of the basic characteristics of quantitative research designs
Analyze the strengths and weaknesses of methods used in quantitative research designs

Discussion: Reliability and Validity of Research Methodology

Selection of the appropriate sample is critical to the reliability and validity of research methodology. The sample must be representative of the population that is being studied. Researchers often report both the inclusion and exclusion criteria for the sample. There are many different methods for selecting a sample and random sampling provides the high control of outside variables but is often difficult to utilize in many studies.

Week 4

Week 4: Qualitative Research Designs and Methods

[Qualitative research] is more than simply conducting research on a single individual or situation. This approach has the potential to deal with simple through complex situations. It enables the researcher to answer “how” and “why” type questions, while taking into consideration how a phenomenon is influenced by
the context within which it is situated.
– Pamela Baxter and Susan Jack,
“Qualitative Case Study Methodology”

How does qualitative research differ from quantitative research? How might a research question best be answered by using a qualitative research design approach?

Last week, you explored different quantitative research designs used in nursing research for clinical research questions. While quantitative research designs are appropriate and useful for a wide range of research questions, you might find that adopting a qualitative approach may yield different insights that might best support solutions for a given research question. Understanding the differences between quantitative/qualitative research designs, and their methods, will contribute to effective nursing practice and your role as a nursing professional.

This week, you examine qualitative research designs and methods. You will first explore the different types of qualitative research approaches used in clinical research studies, including obtrusive (e.g., participatory action, ethnography), unobtrusive (e.g., non-participatory observation, audiovisual), and observational (e.g., focus groups, in-depth interviews). Then, you examine the basic characteristics of each approach (e.g., inductive reasoning, narrative descriptions, process orientation), as well as the characteristics of different approaches used to conduct qualitative research designs, such as sample selection, data collection, data management, and interpretative techniques.

Learning Objectives

Students will:

Analyze the strengths and weaknesses of methods used in qualitative research designs
Analyze elements of qualitative research designs

Discussion: Basic Characteristics of Qualitative Research

As a nursing professional, you will likely engage in research for your health care setting. Depending on the research question you seek to address, you might choose to use a qualitative research design. Understanding when and why it is appropriate to choose a qualitative research design will be important as you develop research skills for nursing practice. As you continue throughout this course, think about what considerations you should keep in mind when choosing to engage in qualitative research. In what ways might qualitative research be more preferred than quantitative research for informing nursing practice?

For this Discussion, be sure to review the qualitative article by Sarvestani et al. (2015). Then, view this week’s Qualitative Research Design PowerPoint webinar that describes each step of the qualitative research process and different approaches used to conduct qualitative research.

By Day 3

You will need to prepare and post a 350-word response that addresses the following:

Qualitative research often is viewed as not having the same rigor and adherence to objective standards as quantitative studies. Using the references provided to assist you, prepare an argument to either support or refute this claim and post it to the Discussion. In your response, explain if qualitative research does or does not have the controls needed to generate the results that contribute to the nursing knowledge base.
Then, explain if qualitative research could be used to investigate the patient safety problem you identified in Week 1.

Note:Post a three paragraph (at least 350 words) response. Be sure to use evidence from the readings and include in-text citations.

Week 4 Discussion

Assignment: Application: Methods Used in Qualitative Research

In order to achieve credible and trustworthy results from qualitative studies, the methodology must be designed very carefully. That is, you must consider the process of conducting qualitative research to address your research question. Important considerations include selecting the research question, collecting data, engaging in data analysis and management, and selecting appropriate
interpretive techniques.

For this Assignment, be sure to view this week’s Qualitative Research Design PowerPoint webinar and pay close attention to its content on the basic elements of qualitative research methods (e.g., sample selection, data collection, plans for interpretive analysis). Then, review the two research studies presented in this week’s resources for this assignment.

Note: While not a required resource, you might find the definitions in the Encyclopedia of Nursing Research helpful for this assignment.

This assignment involves identifying and describing different elements of the research method used in the Walsh et al. (2015) article.

Focus on the research design, sample selection, data collection methods, and plan for data analysis as discussed in the Walsh et al. (2015) article.
Identify at least two strengths and two weaknesses of the article’s research method based on trustworthiness. You must provide support for your explanation with citations from additional sources.
Use the Journal Club Template for Qualitative Research located in this week’s resources.
The template includes an area for each element discussed in the study.
Be brief, paraphrase and summarize each of the elements clearly on the form

By Day 7

Week 4 Assignment 1

Week in Review

Now you…..have analyzed the basic characteristics of qualitative research and discovered the differences between qualitative and quantitative studies. You have also examined if qualitative research has the controls needed to generate results that contribute to the nursing knowledge base. Next week you will….examine the analysis of data with a focus on common statistical techniques that include descriptive and comparative analyses.

Week 5: Analysis of Quantitative and Qualitative Data

Jaime has just completed gathering quantitative and qualitative data on causes of hospital acquired infections (HAIs) on a medical/surgical unit in his hospital. After collecting data on different patients, physicians, procedures, and infections, Jaime is ready to begin analyzing the data. However, how should Jaime proceed? What data is most telling for indicating to the hospital that the medical/surgical unit is experiencing an unexpected increase in the rate of HAIs? How will Jaime determine what type of analyses will be most important for articulating his research question and proposed nursing practice solutions? NURS 3150 3151: Foundations of Nursing Research

Once you have collected and gathered data, the next step in the research process is to engage in the analysis of the data. Whether you perform statistical tests to determine if your data is significant or pool responses to interview questions to indicate emerging themes and patterns, understanding the types of analysis available for the research process is important in order to draw necessary conclusions to inform nursing practice. As a nursing professional, if you engage in research for your health care setting, you will likely engage in the analysis of your data to help inform, implement, and evaluate nursing practice solutions.

This week, you examine the analysis of data, including a focus on common statistical techniques: (a) descriptive analyses (e.g., frequency distributions and mean scores with standard deviations) and (b) comparative analyses (e.g., t-test, chi square). You will also consider the importance of using existing quantitative health care data to address clinical questions in nursing practice, including electronic medical records and local, regional, and national quality and safety databases. For qualitative research, you will explore an overview on the common techniques used to understand themes and patterns in narrative data.

Learning Objectives

Students will:

Identify available local, regional, and national quantitative databases on health care issues
Analyze nursing quality indicators in relation to patient safety
Conduct descriptive analyses of quantitative and qualitative data

Discussion: Access to Existing Databases on Patient Safety, Quality of Care, and Clinical Practice

Quantitative health care databases are developed and published to give health care providers and consumers information about patient quality and safety outcomes. These reports are often distributed to staff in patient care units and shared with health agencies. Understanding the variables and findings described in
these databases is important.

By Day 3

Post a description of one existing source of data you found with variables related to a patient quality and safety problem in your practice. Locate the data posted for your agency/facility. If you are unable to find this information for your agency, locate a national database that can be accessed by health professionals, e.g., Medicare Hospital Compare. (Data are also available for home health and nursing homes.) Include the citation and the link to use for web access. Identify three variables found in the database that are important in better understanding a patient safety problem. Explain how you would interpret the results and how they might help improve nursing practice and patient outcomes. Explain how data is used in your own agency, including nursing involvement in the process.

Week 5 Discussion

Assignment: Application: Analysis of Quantitative and Qualitative Data

In order to provide meaningful results, research processes must be carefully selected and appropriate for the data being analyzed. Statistical programs such as SPSS are frequently utilized by researchers to conduct the analysis of large data sets. These data are organized to provide meaningful interpretation and often include descriptive statistics. Qualitative analysis is completed using content analysis, looking for patterns and themes that emerge from the data. Individual experiences described in interviews and focus groups are considered data and are often provided as examples to support the results in the study publication. Whether you will engage in either quantitative or qualitative research, it is likely that you will encounter both types of studies in the literature. As a nursing professional, being able to analyze and interpret both types of research designs will be important to affect nursing practice that promotes positive health outcomes in
quality of care and patient safety. NURS 3150 3151: Foundations of Nursing Research

For Part 1 of this Assignment, you will conduct descriptive statistical analyses using quantitative data. For Part 2 of this Assignment, you will conduct content coding to analyze qualitative data.

Week in Review

Now you…..have examined the analysis of data and the importance of using existing quantitative health care data to address clinical questions in nursing practice, and qualitative research techniques to understand themes and patterns in narrative data. Next week you will….tie it all together by examining two content areas; drawing conclusions about research findings and their implications for clinical practice and the value of research in evidence-based practice and translational science.

Week 6: Tying it All Together

Once a nursing researcher or nursing professional has conducted analyses on their collected data, what can they conclude about their research and research question?

The last and final phase of the research process involves drawing conclusions about research findings as well as tying them into meaningful solutions for clinical nursing practice. How might a nursing researcher or nursing professional relate their research findings to solutions for improved quality of care and patient safety? How might drawing certain conclusions from research findings impact your health care setting?

This week, you will examine two content areas.

Part I: Drawing Conclusions About Research Findings and Their Implications for Clinical Practice

Part I focuses on the last phase of the research process, namely drawing conclusions about the findings and discussing their implications for clinical practice. You will examine how the findings contribute to clinical practice and how the findings might add to new knowledge and the existing literature on a topic. You will consider how the characteristics of well-written conclusions and implications, including consideration of the study’s limitations, recommendations for future research, and variation in the quality of presenting these areas in published research may impact nursing practice. NURS 3150 3151: Foundations of Nursing Research

Part II: The Value of Research in Evidence-Based Practice and Translational Science

Part II focuses on what has been explored about the value of quantitative and qualitative research in evidence-based practice and translational science in nursing.

Learning Objectives

Students will:

Evaluate how evidence-based practice will improve patient quality and safety
Evaluate the importance of the interpretation, conclusion, and clinical implications of clinical research articles in evidence-based practice
Evaluate effectiveness of interventions on decreasing medication errors in health care settings

Discussion: Use of Research in Clinical Practice

Throughout this course, you have examined and considered how the research process contributes to the field of clinical nursing practice. More than just an exercise in developing a research question, searching the literature to guide future research, and performing actual data collection/data analysis, the conclusions you draw from your research findings are useful in helping to develop and enact effective clinical practice. In essence, the process of conducting research contributes to positive social change in that the solutions that you might propose as a nurse researcher and professional will likely impact quality of care and patient safety.

For this Discussion, read the book chapter by Titler (2008) presented in this week’s resources that describes evidence-based practice and translational science, as well as the kind of research needed for both. Then, reflect on how the knowledge you gained about research will support your effort as a nursing professional to improve patient quality and safety.

By Day 3

Describe how you will use evidence-based practice to improve patient quality and safety in your health care setting. Be specific and provide examples. Then, explain how the knowledge gained about research in this course will support your role in practice as a nursing professional. Then, describe how you will use evidence-based practice to improve patient quality and safety. Be sure to include in your Discussion any unanswered questions that need to be considered by your classmates and/or Instructor.

Assignment: Application: Drawing Conclusions About Research Findings and Their Implications for Clinical Practice

As a current or future nursing researcher and professional, your ability to draw reasonable conclusions from research findings will determine the effectiveness of proposed solutions for clinical nursing practice. As you continue to develop your skill set to become a nursing leader, your exposure to a multitude of research designs, research findings, and evidence-based practice will likely inform how you will absorb this knowledge into meaningful clinical practice. Throughout this course and program, your exposure to different research questions, research study designs, and approaches to addressing serious issues in both nursing and health care confirms the ever-changing landscape in which you have elected to practice. While this is in its own right challenging, it also offers several opportunities to create new knowledge, improve upon current nursing practice, and exercise research skills
for positive patient outcomes.

For this Assignment, review the Research Methods and Findings of the Verweij study conducted in 2014 in this week’s resources. The primary purpose of this quantitative research study was to investigate the effectiveness of an intervention to decrease medication errors in a hospital. The citation and discussion/conclusion information is intentionally deleted so you can draw your own conclusions. NURS 3150 3151: Foundations of Nursing Research

In a 2- to 3-page, double-spaced paper, describe three conclusions you have drawn from the findings in this study, taking into consideration the limitations of the study. Next describe three implications for clinical practice. Once you have submitted the assignment, you will be given the full article for review.
