How interventions (care bundle) lower the incident rates of pressure ulcers in hospitalized patients
Guidelines for paper:
Write a paper focusing on a qualitative study that addresses your PICO(T) question and that was addressed in your first paper.
Describe how the article was selected. This could be just one sentence (includes the search terms- or examples of search terms- and database used)
Clearly describe the article for this paper including the problem being studied, and cite. (Does not have to include the full title of the study)
Information About Evidence
What was the aim of the research study?
What was the study’s design? Describe the study design and cite.
Describe more details about design in the table including whether the design was inferred by you or stated by the authors.
If authors do not state design (eg. just “qualitative study”) you must infer what type of qualitative design it is and justify it.
Discuss two strengths to this type of design. Provide rationale and citation
Describe the sample used in this study. Describe recruitment strategy for this study. Provide more in depth detail such as demographics and/or setting in the table.
What type of sampling methodology was used? (Hint: see textbook for details) Provide rationale and citation.
Discuss the role(s) of the researcher in the study. Provide more in depth detail in the table.
Describe the data collection method in the body of the paper. Provide more in-depth detail in the table.
Results of Evidence
What were the main findings of this study? Discuss main findings/themes that are relevant to the PICO(T) question in the body of the paper. This should include the name of at least one theme/category from the results section of the article.
Provide complete description of findings (eg. themes/categories) in the table.
Discuss how the findings provide context for your PICO(T) question. How did these results help inform your PICO(T) question? How are the findings helpful if a nurse wanted to implement the selected nursing intervention? Or are they not helpful?
Provide rationale for this discussion
Describe the data analysis process in the body of the paper.
Include details about data analysis in the table.
Trustworthiness of Evidence
Discuss how the researchers addressed two elements of trustworthiness in the body of the paper (choose two: credibility, transferability, dependability, and confirmability).
Trustworthiness may be discussed specifically by the authors, but you should also deduce what enhanced or threatened trustworthiness from what you have read about the study. If nothing was done to enhance a specific element, describe a specific way the authors could have enhanced that element of trustworthiness.
