Identify whether the study design is experimental or Observational. Support your identification with examples From the study. | The design of study was experimental in nature. | Several units of study with each unit developing an evidence-based method to implement the napping were taken (Brown et al., 2016). |
Identify the methods used to collect the data and explain why the methods are appropriate based on the research question. | Use of interviews | It was an appropriate method because it was able to collect data from the successful naps. |
Identify the data collected as Quantitative or categorical. Support your identification with examples from the study. | The data collected was identified as Quantitative in nature. | Nurse managers were interviewed after their months, and their responses were recorded (Brown et al., 2016). |
Discuss the potential weaknesses of the data Collection methods used. Support your discussion with examples from the study | It could not collect data from many hospitals using the interview as a method of collecting data. | They implemented the napping process on only two hospitals, and six units were used overall. Data on the identity of nurses was not collected (Brown et al., 2016). |
Identify data analysis. Methods used and explain why the methods are appropriate based on the research question. | Use of graphs and measurements. | They displayed exact proportions of all variables. |
Discuss the potential weaknesses of the data analysis methods used. Support your discussion with examples from the study. | Graphs did not allow many attributes of the data to be entered, producing two-like measurements. | This led to inconsistent results from one of the units used (Brown et al., 2016). |
Describe the key demographics of the population sampled and identify the inclusion and exclusion criteria for Participants. | Nurses and their managers. | They aimed at giving naps to the night-shift nurses to determine whether it is a helpful strategy. |
