Purpose, Research Question, and Hypothesis Compare the following elements for each article using your own words and complete sentences.
Purpose What is the purpose of the study?	Investigate critical care unit managers perception regarding nurses staffs napping practices on night shift	Examine the barriers that limit successful implementation of night-shift naps and be able to identify nap experience from nurses who took naps
Research Question(s) What is/are the research question(s)?	Does nurse staffs napping during night breaks help in improving performance?	Do barriers of implementation limits nap experience among night shift nurses
Hypothesis(es) What is/are the hypothesis (es) of the study?	Night shift break napping help nursing staffs improve their performance when given support by their managers	Barrier such as manager knowledge and attitude toward napping affect napping implementation and nurses experiences
Explanatory Variable(s) What is/are the explanatory variable(s)?	Nurses managers perception	Nurses managers attitude and knowledge toward night shift napping
Response Variable(s) What is/are the response variable(s)?	Napping at night breaks	Night breaks napping
Research Methods Compare the following elements for each article using your own words and complete sentences.
Observational or Experimental Was this study observational or experimental?	This study is an observational study.	The study is an observational study involving a 153 survey questionnaire
Population What population are the researchers interested in?	The researcher is interested on Canadian Nurse managers in the critical care units to understand their perception about night break napping.	Nurses’ managers and staffs nurses were target population for the research
Sample What is the sample?	Forty seven Canadian critical care unit managers who were member of Canadian association of critical care nurses were sampled	Six nursing units were identified for the implementation of night shift nap
Sample Selection How did the researchers select their sample?	The participant were selected from members of Canadian association of critical care nurses	The two nursing units selected for the pilot implementation of night shift nap was selected from six units nursing units identified
Data Collection Methods How did the researchers collect their data?	A web based survey was used to collect data	Night shift nurses were interviewed as group on units
Statistical Analysis What statistical analysis did the researchers use?	The researcher used the calculation of frequency and rank test	Kerolinska sleepiness scale was used to assess pre-nap sleepiness level, nap duration and perceived sleep experience, post-nap sleep inertia and perceived helpfulness of the nap.
Key Findings Compare the key findings for each article using complete sentences in your own words.
Major Results/Conclusions What was/were the result(s) of the research question(s)?	The study established that longer naps caused poor sleep, whole naps proved to be effective.	The study established that napping at night was viable and could help reduce workplace sleepiness and sleepiness while driving back home. Addressing nursing manger perception and concern was essential in successful implementation of night shift nap

Comparison Respond to the following questions in 2- to 3-sentence short paragraphs. Use complete sentences and your own words.
How were the results similar or different between the two articles?	The study finding in the two articles were similar. Nursing manager perception, attitude and lack of knowledge were major barriers on successful night shift napping in healthcare. Night shift break nap was essential in reducing sleepiness and promote alerts as per research finding
Based on the findings of the two studies you have looked at, do you think there is a relationship between the explanatory and response variables? What statistical results are you using to support your decision?	There is relationship between explanatory variable and response variable. The nurse manager’s perception, attitude and knowledge affect the night shift break napping. Lack of knowledge and lack of napping policies affect night shift napping in healthcare center.
How does this study further our knowledge of the topic you are reporting on?	The study further scientific understanding on how nurses fatigue can affect patient care and safety. Therefore, using the result finding from both article, nurses’ managers can came up with policies that allow night break naps a strategy of promoting nursing performance. The study finding help change nurses manager’s perception which is essential in successful implementation of night shift break nap.
Based on this information, what new questions arise? What other studies need to be done in order to determine if there really is or is not a relationship between the variables of interest?	How to make workplace safer for patient and nurses? Additional research should be conducted on napping in nursing setting to assess the error for facility that implement napping night break and the facility that does not implement nursing night break. The research focus is to determine whether night break napping in actual healthcare setting will help make work safer for the patient.
