...Applying the Results and Conclusion of the Research Process to Problems in Health Sandra Green April 3, 2013 Rhett Stover HCS/465 Applying the Results and Conclusion of the Research Process to Problems in Health The method of data collection should link the objectives to the research questions. Data collection procedures are very important for this study. The procedures of the collection will provide validity based on the type of survey taken on the age group surveyed for pertinent information involving the research process. In the comparative study described in the article Breaking the Repeat Teen Pregnancy Cycle, the nurtured trait of resilience is the ability to recover from a setback. The data for this study was collected through chart audits of medical records and by tracing these young girls over a period of at least two years. Data is collected in the medical records by a series of verbal questions asked by a medical professional through personal interviews. Face-to-face interviews are an excellent technique to observe behaviors of the individual. This behavior could be verbal or nonverbal such as body language. One disadvantage of this is that there may be a lack of standardization in the questions. The findings suggest that a teen mother with one infant is 500 times more likely to have another child with two years. Young girls sometimes believe that getting pregnant a second child might bring her and her significant other closer together and enhance the connection...

...Applying the Results and Conclusion of the Research Process to Problems in Health Care HCS/465 October 3, 2013 Results The procedure of collecting data was appropriate because the data was collected in the most efficient and logical way of collecting data for obtaining the desired outcome. The data for this study was collected by a web-enabled database for error reporting system in a hospital setting. Nurses, physicians, and pharmacists had access to the system at any time to report any type of medication error. The rights of the subjects were protected because the patients information was never used on the error reporting database and the error reports made by the staff were anonymous, other than tracking what job title the error reporter held. Reporting any error was completely voluntary to the staff and staff was fully aware of what the system was for. The data collection tool in this instance was a web-enabled database for error reporting. This system supports the reliability of the study by keeping accurate percentage tallies of the types of errors, who is reporting the errors, and the suggestions to prevent the errors. Data Analysis Procedures The data analysis procedures in this study were appropriate for the data collected because the procedures used to analyze the data were as follows: two experts, the investigator, and the pharmacist worked together to analyze the material. The two experts agreed on the categories of errors and the one year time limit...

...University of Phoenix Material Nursing Theorist Grid 1. Theorist Selected: Ida Orlando Description of key points of the theory: Orlando's Deliberative Nursing Process has a framework that consists of five concepts. 1. Professional Nursing Function is the organizing principle- The patient is the focal point in nursing. The nurse must find out and meet the immediate need the patient. 2. Patient's presenting behavior- problematic situation. When the patient's equilibrium is offset he/she exhibits behaviors that draw the nurses' attention. 3. Immediate reaction- Internal Response is a proactive response that causes the nurse to have an automatic response that is cognitive and affective (Alligood, 2010). According to the nurse’s interpretation of the patient's behavior, therefore, the nurse need to assess the situation first to gain an understanding of the problem. 4. Deliberative Nursing Process-Reflective Inquiry views the patient and nurse as a functional unit that draws from each other. The nurse’s behavior affects the patient, and the patient's behavior affects the nurse. To better understand the patient the nurse must focus on the actuality of the problem instead of assuming what the problem may be. This part of the theory is deliberate because the nurse must separate their immediate observation, thoughts, and feelings from each other (Alligood, 2010). Orlando (Alligood, 2010) brings to our attention as nurses that we should not assume that we have corrected...

...Applying the Results and Conclusion of the Research Process to Problems in Health Care Applying the Results and Conclusion of the Research Process to Problems in Health Care Results In the September 24th 2010 issue of Morbidity and Mortality Weekly the article,” Racial Differences by Gestational Age in Neonatal Deaths Attributable to Congenital Heart Defects” was published(Chen, 2010). The purpose of the study was to determine the racial differences in mortality and morbidity rates in infants born with congenital heart defects. This study used a quantitative methodology. The investigators collected data from death and birth records from the United States. The records were public documents and are available to anyone seeking the information. The investigators then compared the data collected from birth and death records to hospital records to determine any racial differences (Chen, 2010). This study is based on the death rates of infants of different races who are affected by congenital heart defects. The process the investigators collected the data was appropriate for this study and added to the information attained at participating hospitals. The subjects in the study were protected by not disclosing any names. Most of the information collected by the investigators are public documents. However, the information obtained from hospitals is privileged information (Chen, 2010). The data collection tool was used to back up the information obtained at hospitals, families...

However, there are few articles analysing the effect of both systems within the same sample of companies. Our paper analyses both the effect of a TQM system and the ISO 9000 implementation in company performance. A structured questionnaire using the Flynn et al. (1994) scale for measuring TQM has been used to get the data. A postal survey to nearly 3000 industrial Spanish companies with more than 100 employees was sent. This questionnaire was answered by 713 quality managers. The results show a positive relationship between TQM application and hard and soft results while only an improvement in hard results after the ISO 9000 implementation has been found. 1. INTRODUCTION Over the last two decades quality management has been an important research topic as it can be seen by the important number of publications in...
