Qualitative Research in Nursing Practice

Qualitative Research in Nursing Practice
To prepare:
Consider your readings about and understanding of quantitative and qualitative research. If you had to choose, which type of research (quantitative or qualitative) do you think is more rigorous and why? Do you think it is useful to make such generalizations and comparisons?
Locate an article describing a qualitative research study related to a health care topic.
Formulate a research question to address the problem and that would lead you to employ correlational statistics.
With information from the Learning Resources in mind, critically analyze your selected study. Ask yourself: How rigorous was the study in terms of the researchers’ efforts, the data collected, and the conclusions drawn? What might the researchers have done to improve the rigor?
Post 1-2 pages cohesive response that addresses the following:
1. Do you think there is one type of research (quantitative or qualitative) that is inherently more rigorous than the other? If so, identify which one and why. If not, discuss your reasoning.
2. Post a brief summary of your research article analysis and the correct APA citation for the article.
3. Outline how the study’s qualitative data collection and analysis did, or did not, promote rigor, provide scientific or systematic scaffolding, and/or generate a more thorough analysis of the research topic.

Marshall Kesterson
Marshall Kesterson he’s 20 years old. He loves doing graphic design and play video games. He is very active on twitter. And He loves watching Anime. Marshall is a Biology major and he is planning on getting into medical law. And he want’s to be a lower for Hospitals. He was born and raised in West Virginia. I Asked him where he wants to be when he graduates he Said he wants to move to Columbus Ohio. He has 1 younger brother and 2 male dogs. He lives with his two roommate which is his best friends. His graphic designs are mostly personal and for his family. He also does online Videos related to school. I asked him where do you see yourself in 10 years, He said he’s going to be married have 2 kids and a job that he loves. Overall it was a bit awkward experience because Marshal isn’t talkative that much that I had to ask him so many questions to get to an answer or I think I was a bit more excited and more talkative than him that I felt he doesn’t talk that much. I didn’t get that much of interesting information but I loved the interview and he seems like a nice respectful guy. I wouldn’t do anything different next time because interviewing someone is basically based on the person you’re interviewing if they talk much or if they’re less talkers if they’re willing to answer your question or if they get bored quick so it’s depends on the person and their personality. If I want to ask him three more questions it would be. Why did you take JRL 215? If you had one meal to eat for the rest of your life what would it be? What do you think about social media now a days?

Air Pollution News Articles

Submit one (1) news articles about air pollution in a country different from the US from current news sources, together with a short, written summary of the article with a comparison of the pollutant concentrations in the article with US AQIs. 
1)  The main topic of the article must involve air pollution, air pollution regulation; public health issues related to air pollution.;
2)  The article must be at least 450 words in length (An easy way to figure out the word count is to copy the text into word and use “word count” under “tools”).
3)  The article must contain either pollutant concentrations in ppb, ppm or μg/m3 or AQIs.
4)  The article must be a ʺfeatureʺ article, meaning it has a headline, byline (author name(s)), and a single topic.
5)  Articles must be photocopies of articles in print publications available at the newsstand, or printouts of these articles from a web site. No clippings are accepted, because they are always falling apart and getting lost.
Abstract/summaries:
a)  140 to 190 words long 
b)  Compare the pollutant concentrations to the standards in the US. Determine   and state where they would fall in the US AQI index. Comment on how this   compares to how the concentrations/AQIs are presented in the article.
c)  Not spin additional information that is not in the article or part of the AQI   discussion.
d)  Include in your summary a clear statement of:
• Title of article • Author(s) of the article • Name of publication • Date of publication • Page number of the first page of the article, unless from a news agency web site Additional notes and guidelines:  ‐‐A mere mention of air pollution as a side note in your article is not sufficient. This means that articles about fires are usually not air pollution articles, even though ʺsmokeʺ is  involved. Most articles about ʺenergyʺ are not air pollution articles, so check content carefully. Articles about odors will be taken on a case‐by‐case basis; they definitely need to have human health front and center to be acceptable.  ‐‐AQI scales for different countries and the WHO can be found on Wikipedia or elsewhere on the web. ‐‐Article summaries do not quote parts of the article; they paraphrase important points. ‐‐ Not acceptable: compilation or ʺspotlightsʺ of different news events into one section; a “blog”, ʺbriefʺ or ʺin briefʺ article or articles that serve as one‐ to two‐paragraph fillers, unsigned editorials and letters to the editor; figure or photo captions not associated with a feature article; advertisements; ʺwireʺ stories without an author attribution, and stories from a web site that is not associated with a print periodical. Also not acceptable: research reports published in academic journals (research papers are not ʺnewsʺ; they are contributions to knowledge). No monthly magazines, journals, ecological or environmental newsletters, scientific/academic journals, etc. The publication must be primarily for the purpose of reporting current news and news analysis. Weekly magazines including Time and Newsweek are acceptable.

Application of Borrowed Theories to Advanced Nursing Practice

Week 5: Application of Borrowed Theories to Advanced Nursing Practice
Explicate a selected borrowed theory that you already know or one that you read about in this week’s lecture, readings or other materials. Provide an example of how this theoretical perspective has been used to frame nursing knowledge, care or leadership in any healthcare setting.
List the concepts that constitute the theory and
Describe the relevance of those concepts to your advancing nursing knowledge and practice.
In other words, you would not describe Maslow’s theory as it relates to an entry-level, new graduate nursing assessment, but you could consider how an advanced practice nurse, working on his or her doctoral degree would use that theory to improve patient outcomes, quality, and safety, access or cost.
Similarly, you could talk about how using Albert Bandura’s Self Efficacy concept facilitates more effective intervention in smoking cessation initiatives.
