Nurses have many duties and responsibilities they perform each day and one such important job is to communicate efficiently and effectively to the next nurse coming on duty. Clear communication keeps the patients safe and also improves patient and nurse satisfaction.
Several studies have been done to discuss the benefits of bedside report given by the nurses at shift change. One such research article titled, “A quantitative assessment of patient and nurse outcomes of bedside nursing report implementation” written by Kari Sand-Jecklin and Jay Sherman, set out to prove the theories that bedside report has many benefits for the patients and nurses. The article discusses the benefits of bedside report given by the nurses at shift change. The Medical Surgical Research Utilization Team at West Virginia wanted to add a blended form of report given at the bedside during nurse hand-off. The team then evaluated the new …show more content…
The advantages of quasi-experimental design methods are the “reactions of test subjects are more likely to be genuine because it not an artificial research environment” ("Benefits," n.d., para. 2). Quasi-experimental designs also don’t have time constraints, but usually require less time. These experiments can also be useful in identifying general trends. There are some limitations with quasi-experimental design methods such as lack of randomization with test studies and variables are less controlled. The researched used the quasi-experimental design study because of the convenience of the test
