Nursing Research
Develop a nursing research question
Does participation in an online community enhance compliance for type II diabetics?
Describe how the nursing research question addresses evidence-based practice.
Evidence-based practice requires treatment to be based upon rigorous, scientifically-validated tests. It also requires nursing treatment to be administered in a clinically appropriate, cost-effective manner (Pollit & Beck 2008: 4). This study would divide a study sample of recently-diagnosed type II diabetes into two groups, one of which would participate in a supportive online community for diabetics, the other of which would not. Glucose management, weight loss, and compliance with dietary modifications would be assessed at the end of the study. If the experimental group exhibited better outcomes, encouraging participation in such communities would be warranted.
Describe the differences between world-view paradigms and naturalistic paradigms.

For much of nursing research positivist paradigms have dominated. Positivism assumes a concrete, material reality that can be accessed. Naturalistic paradigms, in contrast, do not attempt to take an objective distance from the objects of study and elide the barriers between subject and researcher (Pollit & Beck 2008: 14-16). Naturalistic paradigms assume that there are multiple interpretations of reality: for example, a positivist paradigm may assume that health (such as weight loss) is the ultimate goal of the patient whose weight should be reduced, while naturalistic paradigms might take into consideration how perceptions of culture and other issues affect how weight is experienced and viewed by patients. Naturalistic researchers tend to adopt a qualitative methodology in evidence-gathering, versus the scientific method favored by naturalistic researchers, who usually emphasize quantitative evidence accumulation.
Discuss the role of the evidence hierarchy

Preventing Pressure Ulcers in Nursing Home Patients With growing numbers of the American population joining the elderly ranks, there has been a corresponding increase in the number of residents of long-term care facilities including approximately 16,100 nursing homes in recent years (Palumbo & Mclaughlin, 2011). As a result, there has also been increased interest among clinicians concerning optimal turning and repositioning rates for immobile nursing home patients to reduce pressure ulcers
Benchmark-Research Critique and PICOT statement This article is a research critique on the paper titled 'Home Telehealth for Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD): An Evidence-Based Analysis' by J. Franek. The research paper under review was published by the Ontario Health Technology Assessment Series. Although there isn't a direct statement that refers to Problem statement, there is a title that highlights the "Objective of the Analysis." There is an excerpt of
Managment Challenges in Emergency Services Qualitative Research Questions and Phenomena BUDGETING FOR EMERGENCY ISSUES Many emergency management budgets are small having the tendency to lean towards statistical significance with variations from one issue to another. For instance, small standard deviation of figures varies based on strength of the issue. These figures suggest many of the emergency management functions are performed within a given public safety unit. In this proposal, the safest option is
The study by Flynn et al. (2013) is a quantitative retrospective cohort study conducted to determine what types of patients were visiting the primary care, express care and emergency department of a group practice facility over the course of a year. Patient typology was based on whether the individual required an interpreter or not and whether the patient had mental health issues. Flynn et al. (2013) stated that the purpose
Nursing Administration-Staffing A strategy for recruiting nurses for the acute care units The effect of the nursing shortage crisis combined with higher patient acuity has become a crucial concern for the nursing management team. This relates largely to the balancing patient needs with staffing needs. Nurse executives at hospitals contribute to the shortage of women having numerous opportunities outside the health care industry and to inadequate compensation for work done. However, diverse
