Horntvedt, May-Elin, et al. “Strategies for Teaching Evidence-Based Practice in Nursing Education: A Thematic Literature Review.”BMC Medical Education, vol. 18, no. 172, 2018, pp. 1–11. Web.
The scholarly source published in a peer-reviewed journal, BMC Medical Education, in 2018, was created by Horntvedt et al., the experts in Nursing and Health Sciences, who investigate teaching/learning strategies related to evidence-based practice (EBP). The authors apply the method of database literature search and aim to respond to the research question related to the best EBP strategies for enhancing knowledge in undergraduate students and the potential barriers in education. The researchers argue that there are difficulties in nurses’ EBP application and use qualitative evidence from critical appraisal and thematic analysis for the purpose of understanding interactive methods, clinically integrated strategies, learning outcomes, and barriers. The article is a useful source of data for the audience of nursing students, professors, or researchers because it contributes valuable information on EBP strategies/barriers despite methodological limitations (small sample size, exclusion of non-English sources). The findings on the role of training for the development of skills for nursing students can be integrated into the research paper, as the article aligns with the reviewed sources in terms of EBP focus.
Labrague, Leodoro, and Janet Alexis de los Santos. “Fear of COVID-19, Psychological Distress, Work Satisfaction and Turnover Intention Among Frontline Nurses.”Journal of Nursing Management, vol. 29, no. 3, 2020, pp. 395–403. Web.
The article, published in the reputable Journal of Nursing Management in 2020, was written by the Doctors of Nursing Practice, Leodoro Labrague and Janet Alexis de los Santos, who studied the COVID-19 impact on nurses. The researchers employed a cross-sectional methodology and formulated the research question related to the pandemic’s role in order to determine the sources of phycological distress, job satisfaction, and turnover in nurses impacted by the pandemic. The samples obtained from the questionnaires were distributed among 300 qualifying participants and provide supportive evidence for the author’s argument on the influence of COVID-19-related fear on frontline nurses’ mental well-being and associated work outcomes. The study directly addresses its target audience (healthcare/nursing professionals and researchers), provides implications for the healthcare field, including pandemic-specific training, practice, and interventions, but involves limitations caused by the research design and varying contributing factors. The article can be used for the research paper, as it examines the challenges of the nursing career during the pandemic and expands the understanding of EBP from other sources reviewed in the annotated bibliography.
Simha, Aditya, and Jatin Pandey. “Trust, Ethical Climate and Nurses’ Turnover Intention.”Nursing Ethics, vol. 28, no. 5, 2020, pp. 714–722. Web.
The study examining nurses’ turnover intentions and the influence of ethical climate appeared in a peer-reviewed Nursing Ethics journal in 2020 and was conducted by the specialists in nursing management, Aditya Simha and Jatin Pandey. The article is based on a cross-sectional survey method allowing the authors to demonstrate turnover intention mechanisms and adequately address the research question related to the impact of trust and ethical climates on nursing turnover. The evidence was generated from the analysis of the results from 285 questionnaires to support the authors’ argument on the positive association of nurses’ perception of ethical climates with trust and prove indirect climate-turnover relationships. The article’s intended audience are nursing managers, but it may be beneficial for healthcare students and researchers due to the implications of the findings, addressing the critical importance of ethical climate, for the healthcare/nursing field. The study can be employed as a source of evidence for the research paper because it aligns with the findings of the previous article on nurses’ turnover intentions and contains recommendations for ethical climate management. Additionally, the study might be included in the research paper on nursing career to compare the diverse approaches to nursing turnover, trust, and job satisfaction.
