¶ … unequivocal (Coughlan, Cronin & Ryan, 2007). Also, it should ideally be 10-15 words long. The title of the quantitative article is "Work environment, job satisfaction, stress and burnout among haemodialysis nurses" (Hayes, Douglas & Bonner, 2015). The title clearly adheres to the recommended length of an article title. In addition, the title unambiguously identifies of the purpose of the study, which is to examine relationships between nurse characteristics, work environment attributes, job satisfaction, job stress, and burnout in nurses working in haemodialysis units.
The abstract should provide a succinct summary of the study, inclusive of the research problem, purpose of the research, methodology, sample size, findings, as well as conclusion and recommendations (Coughlan, Cronin & Ryan, 2007). The reader should judge from the abstract whether an article is worth further reading. Hayes, Douglas & Bonner's (2015) article provides a precise and straightforward overview of the study, clearly summing up the major components of the article into aim, background, method, result, conclusion, and implications for nursing management.

Generally, it provides a statement of the research problem and the purpose of the study, hypotheses/research questions, literature review, as well as the conceptual/theoretical framework of the study. The statement of the research problem and purpose provides a broad definition of the subject of the study (Coughlan, Cronin & Ryan, 2007). In this case, the study seeks to investigate the problem of burnout in nurses (Hayes, Douglas & Bonner, 2015). The review of literature is important for presentation of recent literature on the research topic, development of the research question(s) or hypotheses, definition of the conceptual framework, and identification of gaps in extant literature (Coughlan, Cronin & Ryan, 2007). In Hayes, Douglas & Bonner's (2015) article, authoritative sources have been included in the literature, including primary empirical evidence, though a few of the sources are older than 20 years. In addition, the article does not include a specific conceptual framework. This is not unusual as not all studies are based on a defined theoretical framework (Coughlan, Cronin & Ryan, 2007). In addition, the article does not identify a specific research question or hypothesis. It rather states the aim of the research, which is to study the perceptions of haemodialysis nurses in Australia and New Zealand about the work environment, job stress, job satisfaction, and burnout. The aim clearly resonates with the research problem.

Research Methods Literature Review A literature review on an identified research topic or issue is an important element when conducting a study regardless of whether the study employs qualitative, quantitative or mixed methods research design. The significance of conducting a literature review is attributable to the several functions and roles the review plays in the research process. Literature review is crucial when conducting a study because it’s a means of synthesizing
role of research problem in choosing an appropriate methodology. It also presents the research questions, methodology, and design that can be used by the researcher to analyze the research problem and proceed with his research study. The third section of the paper identifies two major qualities of team leaders that contribute to successful leadership and explains strategies that organization leaders can implement to develop these two qualities in their
After this has been done, the researcher comes to the actual writing of the literature review, which should be relatively easy if the researcher has done the researcher properly. Identification of Sources Identifying sources that are high-quality and appropriate can be very difficult for the inexperienced researcher, but there are ways to help individuals determine whether a source is a good one or not. Generally, 'standard' (.com) websites have questionable reliability
Still, the concept of guided imagery tends to stray far from traditional methods of pain management. Pharmaceuticals have long been a major method of treatment for pain, but have resulted in major backlashes in regards to patients becoming addicted, especially in long-term and chronic cases of pain. If guided imagery could be a successful method, it may reduce pain or increase pain tolerance, without the threat of chemical dependence. There
Nursing Research Problem Research in nursing A research problem in nursing is normally referred to as the discrepancy between the knowledge that one has and the knowledge that one ought to know in order to solve a given nursing problem. Nursing research is central in the profession since it helps in forming the basis for the continued practice of the profession. This is because nursing research is predominantly focused on understanding as
The participation of the staff is entirely voluntary and while staff will be encouraged to participate it will not be mandatory and staff members will only be approached once with the survey placed in their mailboxes at work. Staff members will be allowed to return the surveys in a locked box placed off the unit and in an unobserved area for maximum anonymity. It would be our goal to receive completed surveys from at least
