For a quantitative study I chose the topic of moral distress. The title of the study is “Exploring the Moral Distress of Registered Nurses”.
Data analysis The analysis were undertaken to address each research question. The most morally distressing event was identified as working with levels of nursing staffing perceived as “unsafe” (M=4.14). This item was not associated with high variability (SD 1.93), suggesting that many respondents experience distress when there is a shortage of staff. Type I and Type II errors were minimized by making sure the sample was adequate for the study being conducted. Total of 100 RN’s participated in the study which is adequate for this size of study. The data was collected using the Moral Distress Scale and …show more content…
The researcher mentions that the nurse managers must be adequately prepared to address nurses’ concerns specific to ethical dilemmas. Nurses should volunteer to participate on ethics committees and seek the education necessary for this role. Educators should assess the ethical content in undergraduate and graduate nursing curricula to ensure that students are acquiring a practice-specific understanding of biomedical ethics and the skills necessary for working within systems to improve ethics related outcomes. Institutions should consider implementing multidisciplinary discussions and round tables specific to ethical dilemmas, legalities and resource utilization. These implications are reasonable to complete for future …show more content…

Data analysis The data management and data analysis methods were sufficiently described. For this study content analysis were used. Microsoft Word and Excel were used for data entry and management. The data analysis strategy was compatible with the research tradition and with the nature and type of data gathered. Content analysis were used to extract common themes from the interview transcriptions; analysis were conducted by both researchers independently.
Findings
The authors summarize the findings effectively with good use of excerpts and supporting arguments. Total of nine nurses were interviewed. Intervention strategies to prevent inpatient falls as identified by the Joint Commission were compared to those of nurses from interview transcriptions. The analysis did yield an insightful, provocative, authentic and meaningful picture of the phenomenon under investigation. The researchers found that nurses are at the heart of it all and if any fall prevention tools need to be initiated nurses need to be consulted for their input since they are the ones that will enforce it day in day out. Twenty-four solutions were identified from the nurse interview transcriptions: five were related to the dimension of inadequate caregiver communication, none was associated with the dimension of inadequate staff orientation and training,
