Investigating Research Findings SAMPLE

PICo inquires: How do nurses in an inpatient setting value bedside shift reports?

Following up on last week’s research, it is clear that the bedside shift report adds an extra layer of safety for the patients. A qualitative study was conducted in an inner-city acute care teaching hospital to learn about nurses’ experiences with BSR. Jeffs et al. (2013) conducted interviews with 43 female nurses from a variety of clinical specialties. The participants were asked to list the benefits and drawbacks of BSR. The topics covered included describing the positives and negatives of face-to-face interactions with nursing colleagues; the negative outcomes associated with interactions and patient involvement in care planning; and whether they felt the care was more patient-centered and safer. Over the course of six months, the nurses collected observations and discovered that they could identify, intercept, and correct potential errors. They could also clarify the care plan and the patient’s needs. With a quick assessment, the nurses were also able to prioritize care. The results may be influenced by the study’s limitation of only taking place in one hospital. The study was well-rounded in that it included nurses from various units.

My goal in changing the bedside shift report is to improve patient safety by improving nurse-to-nurse communication and reducing hospital events such as patient falls. I would collect baseline quality data for the hospital units participating in the study.

NR 505 Week 7 Discussion: Exploring Research Results

The next step is to implement the plan after it has been discussed with all members involved and education on how to conduct the BSR has been provided to the nurses involved in the implementation. Set a date and begin monitoring and evaluating the new BSR process. Conducting interviews with nurses at the start and several weeks later to learn about the new process’s challenges and successes. In a qualitative study, determining the length of time to conduct interviews can be difficult. In this process change scenario, I would continue to conduct interviews until I began to receive repetitive responses to questions. Following that, I will examine the information gleaned from the interviews as well as the quality data gathered during the same time period. I should be able to tell if I got the result I expected and if the implementation went as planned. This is an excellent time to assess any barriers or challenges encountered during implementation. Act is the first step in the PDSA. Taking the knowledge gained during implementation and ensuring that the solutions are long-lasting.

Your post on bedside shift reports (BSR) is very interesting. I believe there is a need for more data to support the efficacy and benefits of bedside shift reporting. I’ve worked in facilities where the staff was moved to bedside shift reporting. For the most part, staff were extremely opposed to the idea for a variety of reasons ranging from BSR lengthening the length of time it takes to report off to concerns about the risk of breaches in patient confidentiality to the staff simply not seeing a need to do so. Roslan and Lim (2016) used focus group interviews with semi-structured questions to conduct an interpretive, descriptive, qualitative study. Twenty nurses were polled on their thoughts on bedside clinical handover. According to the findings of this study, nurses perceived bedside clinical handover as a possible source of breaches in patient confidentiality, as well as a source of interruption and distraction by patients and family members. Bedside clinical handover, on the other hand, was found by research participants to be a foundation for communication between patients and nurses. As an acute care nurse, I understand the anxiety that comes with a bedside report. Despite this, I remain a firm believer in bedside shift reporting. I can’t count the number of times I received complaints from staff because the patient in room 301 had an infiltrated IV at the start of the shift, or the patient in room 345 was dirty at the start of the shift, or the patient in room 320 was complaining because they had been asking for pain meds for over an hour. Each of the issues would have been known and addressed during shift report. Most nurses do not leave work undone on purpose, but there is the odd unicorn who does so on a regular basis. Despite the fact that healthcare is a 24-hour rotation, no nurse wants to be the one who consistently leaves a mess for the next shift. BSR reduces the likelihood of this becoming a recurring problem.

Important information for writing discussion questions and participation

Welcome to class

Hello class and welcome to the class and I will be your instructor for this course. This is a -week course and requires a lot of time commitment, organization, and a high level of dedication. Please use the class syllabus to guide you through all the assignments required for the course. I have also attached the classroom policies to this announcement to know your expectations for this course. Please review this document carefully and ask me any questions if you do. You could email me at any time or send me a message via the “message” icon in halo if you need to contact me. I check my email regularly, so you should get a response within 24 hours. If you have not heard from me within 24 hours and need to contact me urgently, please send a follow up text to

I strongly encourage that you do not wait until the very last minute to complete your assignments. Your assignments in weeks 4 and 5 require early planning as you would need to present a teaching plan and interview a community health provider. I advise you look at the requirements for these assignments at the beginning of the course and plan accordingly. I have posted the YouTube link that explains all the class assignments in detail. It is required that you watch this 32-minute video as the assignments from week 3 through 5 require that you follow the instructions to the letter to succeed. Failure to complete these assignments according to instructions might lead to a zero. After watching the video, please schedule a one-on-one with me to discuss your topic for your project by the second week of class. Use this link to schedule a 15-minute session. Please, call me at the time of your appointment on my number. Please note that I will NOT call you.

Please, be advised I do NOT accept any assignments by email. If you are having technical issues with uploading an assignment, contact the technical department and inform me of the issue. If you have any issues that would prevent you from getting your assignments to me by the deadline, please inform me to request a possible extension. Note that working fulltime or overtime is no excuse for late assignments. There is a 5%-point deduction for every day your assignment is late. This only applies to approved extensions. Late assignments will not be accepted.

If you think you would be needing accommodations due to any reasons, please contact the appropriate department to request accommodations.

Plagiarism is highly prohibited. Please ensure you are citing your sources correctly using APA 7th edition. All assignments including discussion posts should be formatted in APA with the appropriate spacing, font, margin, and indents. Any papers not well formatted would be returned back to you, hence, I advise you review APA formatting style. I have attached a sample paper in APA format and will also post sample discussion responses in subsequent announcements.

Your initial discussion post should be a minimum of 200 words and response posts should be a minimum of 150 words. Be advised that I grade based on quality and not necessarily the number of words you post. A minimum of TWO references should be used for your initial post. For your response post, you do not need references as personal experiences would count as response posts. If you however cite anything from the literature for your response post, it is required that you cite your reference. You should include a minimum of THREE references for papers in this course. Please note that references should be no more than 5 years old except recommended as a resource for the class. Furthermore, for each discussion board question, you need ONE initial substantive response and TWO substantive responses to either your classmates or your instructor for a total of THREE responses. There are TWO discussion questions each week, hence, you need a total minimum of SIX discussion posts for each week. I usually post a discussion question each week. You could also respond to these as it would count towards your required SIX discussion posts for the week.

I understand this is a lot of information to cover in 5 weeks, however, the Bible says in Philippians 4:13 that we can do all things through Christ that strengthens us. Even in times like this, we are encouraged by God’s word that we have that ability in us to succeed with His strength. I pray that each and every one of you receives strength for this course and life generally as we navigate through this pandemic that is shaking our world today. Relax and enjoy the course!
