Current Trends in Nursing II

Current Trends in Nursing II

Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...

The Scientific Method in Nursing Process

The Scientific Method in Nursing Process

The scientific method provides the foundation for any research. It is the most reliable and objective of all forms of gaining knowledge and guides in applying research-based evidence in practice and conducting future research.
When using research findings to change practice, one must understand the process used to guide a study. The scientific method is a systematic, step-by-step process that supports the data's validity, reliability, and generalizability. As a result, findings can be safely...

Nursing Assessment

Nursing Assessment

The two sources for collecting information are primary and secondary. After gathering information, interpretation and validation help to complete the data. The purpose of assessment is to establish data with the initial information, to interpret data about the patient's perceived needs and health problems, and to respond to these problems identified.
The nurse collects all aspects of the patient's health in the initial assessment, establishing priorities for ongoing focused assessments and...

Nursing Evaluation

Nursing Evaluation

The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.

Nursing Interventions II: Selecting and Classifying the Nursing Interventions

Nursing Interventions II: Selecting and Classifying the Nursing Interventions

Creating and executing a nursing diagnosis helps nurses plan care and guide patient, family, and community interventions. They are developed based on a patient's physical evaluation and support measuring the outcomes. It is not recommended to select random interventions throughout the planning process. Instead, consider the following six essential factors when choosing interventions:

Summary

Ten key statistical methods were identified as being used in 80% of nursing research in 2000. Undergraduate nursing curricula should emphasize these common statistics to improve researcher competency.

Area of Science:

Nursing Research
Biostatistics

Background:

Effective nursing research requires a strong understanding of statistical analysis.
Current undergraduate nursing curricula may not adequately focus on the most prevalent statistical methods used in published nursing literature.

Purpose of the Study:

To identify the most frequently used statistical methods in quantitative nursing research.
To inform curriculum development in undergraduate nursing programs regarding statistical education.

Main Methods:

A comprehensive review of all quantitative research articles published in 13 selected nursing journals during the year 2000.
Categorization and frequency analysis of statistical techniques employed in the reviewed articles.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

Ten primary statistical methods accounted for 80% of the quantitative nursing research published in 2000.

The identified statistics align with Beitz's established categorizations of statistical approaches.

Conclusions:

Undergraduate nursing education should prioritize instruction on the top 10 most common statistics.
The nursing profession should promote advanced statistical methods like power analysis and odds ratio to enhance research quality.
