Author: Jeanne Brown. At that time, an associate professor in Mary-land School in Baltimore.

Describe the purpose of the study.

Assessing the obstacles toward an effective implementation of naps on night-shift nurses and describing those who had the naps.

What is the research question in the study?

Is napping helpful in reducing tiredness and drowsiness for hospital nurses who work in shift?

What is the hypothesis of the study?

Catnaps would yield success if implemented.


Research Methods Table

Critical Element

Response to the Critical Element

One Example

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.
