Architect Daniel Libeskind is credited with saying “To provide meaningful architecture is not to parody history, but to articulate it.” The suggestion is that his work does not copy the efforts of others but relies on it.

Understanding the work of others is critically important to new work. Contributions to the nursing body of knowledge can happen when you are able to analyze and articulate the efforts of previous research. Research analysis skills are therefore critical tools for your toolbox.

In this Assignment, you will locate relevant existing research. You also will analyze this research using a tool helpful for analysis.

To Prepare:

Reflect on the strategies presented in the Resources this Module’s Learning Resources in support of locating and analyzing research.

 Read one peer-reviewed research article focused on a topic in your specialty field that interests you.

Review the article you selected and reflect on the professional practice use of theories/concepts described by the article.

The Assignment:

Using the “Module 4 | Part 4” section of your Academic Success and Professional Development Plan Template presented in the Resources, conduct an analysis of the elements of the research article you identified. Be sure to include the following:

Your topic of interest:  The effect of anxiety and depression on completion/withdrawal status in patients admitted to substance abuse detoxification program.

MY QUESTION

To complete this Assignment:

  • Complete the two critiques using the appropriate templates.
  • Write a 2- to 3-page paper that addresses the following:
  • Contrast the types of information that you gained from examining the two different research approaches in the articles that you selected.
    • Describe the general advantages and disadvantages of the two research approaches featured in the articles. Use examples from the articles for support.
    • Formulate a response to the claim that qualitative research is not real science. Highlight the general insights that both quantitative and qualitative studies can provide to researchers. Support your response with references to the Learning Resources and other credible sources.
  • To prepare:
  • Select a health topic of interest to you that is relevant to your current area of practice. The topic may be your Course Portfolio Project or a different topic of your choice.
  • Using the Walden Library, locate two articles in scholarly journals that deal with your portfolio topic: 1) Select one article that utilizes a quantitative research design and 2) select a second article that utilizes either a qualitative OR a mixed methods design. These need to be single studies not systematic or integrative reviews (including meta-analysis and metasynthesis). You may use research articles from your reference list. If you cannot find these two types of research on your portfolio topic, you may choose another topic.
  • Locate the following documents in this week’s Learning Resources to access the appropriate templates, which will guide your critique of each article:
    • Critique Template for a Qualitative Study
    • Critique Template for a Quantitative Study
    • Critique Template for a Mixed-Methods Study
  • Consider the fields in the templates as you review the information in each article. Begin to draft a paper in which you analyze the two research approaches as indicated below. Reflect on the overall value of both quantitative and qualitative research. If someone were to say to you, “Qualitative research is not real science,” how would you respond?

Discussion 1: Evidence Base in Design

When politics and medical science intersect, there can be much debate. Sometimes anecdotes or hearsay are misused as evidence to support a particular point. Despite these and other challenges, however, evidence-based approaches are increasingly used to inform health policy decision-making regarding causes of disease, intervention strategies, and issues impacting society. One example is the introduction of childhood vaccinations and the use of evidence-based arguments surrounding their safety.

In this Discussion, you will identify a recently proposed health policy and share your analysis of the evidence in support of this policy.

To Prepare:

  • Review the Congress website provided in the Resources and identify one recent (within the past 5 years) proposed health policy.
  • Review the health policy you identified and reflect on the background and development of this health policy.

By Day 3 of Week 7

Post a description of the health policy you selected and a brief background for the problem or issue being addressed. Explain whether you believe there is an evidence base to support the proposed policy and explain why. Be specific and provide examples.

Professor and class

Researchers use instruments as a measurement device and they can be categorized as researcher-completed and subject completed depending on who administered or completed respectively. Based on the research question, researchers select what instrument they are going to use.

Some researcher-completed instruments are rating scales, interviews, flowcharts, checklists, time and-motion logs, observation forms, etc. Some of the subject-completed instruments are questionnaires, attitude scales, personality inventories, achievement tests, sociometric devices, etc.

In my proposed research project I am going to use a the Readmission Rate , based on a relation between the total number of patients discharged home with the diagnosis of Congestive Heart Failure and an inpatient admission for decompensating Cardiac Heart Failure within 30 days of the discharge .This number is going to be the numerator of the fraction. The denominator is going to be those all patients discharge from the hospital with the diagnosis of Cardiac Heart Failure and the number is going in the last three months. The denominator is going to be common for the two groups the experimental group and the control group.

All patients included in the investigation will be applied the LACE Index. The LACE Index is a tool to evaluate the Risk of readmission of a patient admitted in the hospital, and it is used as a predictor of readmissions. It consists of 4 parameters as described below:

Length of stay It will score 0,1,2,3,4,5,7 according to the days of stay: less than 1, 1, 2,3,4-6, 7-13, >=14 respectively.

Acuity if it was emergent admission it will score 3.

Comorbidities will be assessed by Charlson score .No comorbidities will score 0, 1 Comorbidity scores 1, 2 Comorbidities scores 2, 3 comorbidities scores 3, and more than 4 scores 5.

Emergency department visits on the last six months No visits 0, 1 visit scores 1, 2 visits scores 2, 3 visits scores 3, and 4 or more scores 4.According to the classification of the measurement tools this level of measurement is considered as ordinal.

The interpretation of the LACE Index is that if the Index scores is 0-3 there is a low risk of readmissions, if it is between 4 and 9 the risk is moderate , and if it is more than 9 the risk is high.
