Nursing Practice and Nursing

Sand-Jecklin, K., & Herman, J. (2014). A Quantitative Assessment of Patient and Nurse Outcomes of Bedside Nursing Report Implementation. Journal of Clinical Nursing, 23(19-20), 2854-2863. This particular research piece is quantitative in nature. The basic analysis element in a study of this kind as Keele (2011) points out is statistical analyses and numbers. This is more so the case given that it generates data that could be transmuted into operational statistics, as it seeks to quantify the problem i.e.

"quantify quantitative outcomes of a practice change to a blended form of bedside nursing report." It is clear that the authors in this case seek to quantify behaviors and opinions in an attempt to come up with results from a sample population that is significant. I selected this topic due to its relevance to clinical practice. This is particularly the case given that there are very few published studies that have attempted to quantify outcomes relating to the said practice change.

The Journal of Clinical Nursing is a respected information source that attempts to not only promote the exchange of nursing knowledge, but also promote the development of the same. Being a peer reviewed scientific journal, the integrity of papers it publishes is not in question. Peer review is one of the most effective social processes that seek to ensure the integrity of data in the research enterprise (Shamoo & Resnik, 2009). Peters, K., Mclnnes S., & Halcomb, E. (2015). Nursing Students'Experiences of Clinical Placement in Community Settings: A Qualitative Study.

Collegian: The Australian Journal of Nursing Practice, Scholarship and Research, 22(2), 175-181. This research article is qualitative in nature. This is more so the case given that it is primarily exploratory. The authors in this case seek to provide an aggregate view of the issue under consideration.

According to Polit and Beck (2017), qualitative research is largely holistic and seeks to bring about comprehension of the whole -- this being "the experiences of pre-registration nursing students following community-based clinical placements" and the consequence the said placement has on the learning of nursing students. There is need to better enhance learning opportunities by exploring how nursing students view, respond, and benefit from community-based clinical deployment. This is what informed my selection of this particular article.

The Collegian: The Australian Journal of Nursing Practice, Scholarship and Research satisfies all the standards of a revered journal in nursing practice. The journal invites papers on a wide range of issues considered to.
