For this module we will discuss critical appraisal of a quantitative research article. Review the attached article by Gormley, Costanzo, Lewis, Slone, & Savage (2012) and answer the questions listed below. I ask that you review each other's answers and comment to at least one peer.﻿

﻿

The staff development nurse is creating a series of nursing grand rounds (NGR) and reviewing an article on this topic. The goal is to make the NGR as accessible as possible, because the leadership team wants maximal participation. This facility is one of four inner-city hospitals that make up a health system.﻿

﻿

The study reviewed notes that “most nurses prefer online recordings for NGR.” When the nurse implements the NGR via online recordings, a great number of nurses do not access the online recordings.

﻿

1. How might this be explained because it is different than what the research reported?

﻿

2. The study noted that researchers did not plan to generate findings that would be generalizable. What does this mean?

﻿

3. To find out about the limitations of the research and the generalizability of the outcomes, where should the nurse search in the article?

﻿

1.     How might this be explained because it is different than what the research reported?

The discrepancy between the research findings and the actual behavior of the nurses can be explained by several factors:

·       Access Issues: Nurses might face technical difficulties accessing the online recordings.

·       Time Constraints: Nurses may not have sufficient time to view the recordings during their shifts.

·       Preference for Live Interaction: Despite preferring online recordings in theory, nurses might find live sessions more engaging and beneficial in practice.

·       Awareness and Training: There might be a lack of awareness or training on how to access and utilize the online recordings effectively.

2.     The study noted that researchers did not plan to generate findings that would be generalizable. What does this mean?

This means that the study was designed to gather insights specific to a particular context or group rather than to produce results that can be broadly applied to other populations or settings. The findings are context-specific and may not be applicable to different hospitals, regions, or nursing populations without further validation.

3.     To find out about the limitations of the research and the generalizability of the outcomes, where should the nurse search in the article?

The nurse should look for the "Discussion" or "Limitations" section of the article. These sections typically address the study's constraints, potential biases, and the extent to which the results can be applied to other settings or populations.

1. How might this be explained because it is different than what the research reported?

This article differs from the study done with the four hospitals because the research in the article by Gromley was established for the two specific hospitals used for the research and was not intended to be used for generalization among larger populations.

﻿

2. The study noted that researchers did not plan to generate findings that would be generalizable. What does this mean?

This means that the research was conducted to only benefit and improve the system within the two hospitals used for the research. The survey was conducted in order to determine how to best offer better NGR for the nurses to improve participation and improved patient outcomes between the two hospitals and not for general or other studies.

﻿

3. To find out about the limitations of the research and the generalizability of the outcomes, where should the nurse search in the article?

The nurse should search the discussion and implications section of the article (Assessing nurses continuing education preferences in rural community and urban academic settings) on page 5 (283) where it stats “ the intent of the study was to conduct a needs survey relevant to the two institutions to establish interest in participation in a jointly plan NGR and was not intended to provide data that would be generalizable to a large population”. Viewing this information the nurse should understand that it is a closed survey for a particular group and not to be used for research or other populations.
