Exploring the perceptions of care unit managers' and their understandings with the napping practice.

Does napping during break help a night shift nurse in enhancing performance?

Napping on night shift breaks.

Part III: Research Methods

1. What population are the researchers interested in?

Canadian nurse managers of the critical care unit.

1. What is the sample? How did the researchers select their sample?

Forty-seven managers.

These members were selected from Association of nurses of Canada.

1. How did the researchers collect their data?

A survey design was used to collect data.

1. What statistical analysis did the researcher use?

The researcher used the calculation of frequency and rank test.

Part IV: Results or Key Findings

1. What was/were the result(s) of the research question(s)?

Longer naps caused poor sleep, while shorter naps proved to be effective.

1. What were the differences in the groups that were being studied?

Several groups revealed benefits of napping within breaks, while others showed unfavorable effects.

1. Did the result support the researchers’ hypothesis or not?

Yes. Napping appeared an easy approach in fatigue management.

1. List (with support) any other results that you found interesting.

Napping needed concerns about staff coverage because staff coverage was not proactive enough with the patients.

Waking from naps was difficult, and nurses would sometimes perform poorly after the breaks if, for example, waken to an emergency (Edwards, McMillan & Fallis, 2013).

Part V: Limitations

1. What did the researchers state as the limitations of their study?

Inconsistencies with napping to effectiveness.

Longer nap durations were impractical.

There were no written napping policies at the organizational level (Edwards, McMillan & Fallis, 2013).

1. Why are these limitations?

There was a lack of management support, staffing levels were poor, and patients were more concerned about their health and safety.

1. Please list a question you have about the study that was not addressed in this article.

Are patient's caregivers concerned with the impact of staff management on their patient's health?
