Population What population are the researchers interested in? Sample What is the sample? Nurses who sleep and nap well within their shifts The differences between one nurses character of sleeping against another. Nurses who sleep and nap well within their shifts The differences between one nurses character of sleeping against another. 3 1 Sample Selection How did the researchers select their sample? In this two-hospital pilot implementation project, napping on the night shift was offered to six nursing units for which the executive nursing leadership had given approval. Unit nurse managers' approval was sought, and where granted, further explanation was given to the unit's staff nurses. In this two-hospital pilot implementation project, napping on the night shift was offered to six nursing units for which the executive nursing leadership had given approval. Unit nurse managers' approval was sought, and where granted, further explanation was given to the unit's staff nurses. Data Collection Methods How did the researchers collect their data? A nap experience form, which included the Karolinska Sleepiness Scale, was used to assess pre-nap sleepiness level, nap duration and perceived sleep experience, post-nap sleep inertia, and the perceived helpfulness of the nap. Nurse managers and staff nurses were also interviewed at the end of the three-month study period A nap experience form, which included the Karolinska Sleepiness Scale, was used to assess pre-nap sleepiness level, nap duration and perceived sleep experience, post-nap sleep inertia, and the perceived helpfulness of the nap. Nurse managers and staff nurses were also interviewed at the end of the three-month study period Statistical Analysis What statistical analysis did the researchers use? Quantitative, On the successful unit, 153 30-minutes naps were taken during the study period. A high level of sleepiness was present at the beginning of 44% of the naps. For more than half the naps, nurses reported achieving either light (43%) or deep (14%) sleep. Sleep inertia was rare. The average score of helpfulness of napping was high (7.3 on a 1-to-10 scale). Nurses who napped reported being less drowsy while driving home after their shift. Quantitative, On the successful unit, 153 30minutes naps were taken during the study period. A high level of sleepiness was present at the beginning of 44% of the naps. For more than half the naps, nurses reported achieving either light (43%) or deep (14%) sleep. Sleep inertia was rare. The average score of helpfulness of napping was high (7.3 on a 1-to-10 scale). Nurses who napped reported being less drowsy while driving home after their shift. 4 1 Key Findings Compare the key findings for each article using complete sentences in your own words.

Nurses who napped guidelines. reported being less drowsy while driving home after their shift Comparison Respond to the following questions in 2- to 3-sentence short paragraphs. Use complete sentences and your own words. 5 1 How were the results similar or different between the two articles? Based on the findings of the two studies you have looked at, do you think there is a relationship between the explanatory and response variables? What statistical results are you using to support your decision? A survey design was used. Forty-seven Canadian critical care unit managers who were members of the Canadian Association of Critical Care Nurses responded to the webbased survey. Data analysis involved calculation of frequencies and percentages for demographic data, use of the Friedman rank test for comparison of managers' perceptions, and content analysis for responses to open-ended questions. Successful implementation occurred on only one of the six units, with partial success seen on a second unit. Barriers primarily occurred at the point of seeking the unit nurse managers' approval. On the successful unit, 153 30-minutes naps were taken during the study period. A high level of sleepiness was present at the beginning of 44% of the naps. For more than half the naps, nurses reported achieving either light (43%) or deep (14%) sleep. Sleep inertia was rare. The average score of helpfulness of napping was high (7.3 on a 1to-10 scale). Nurses who napped reported being less drowsy while driving home after their shift The findings of this study offer valuable insights into the complexities and conflicts perceived by managers with respect to napping on night shift breaks by nursing staff Staff and patient health and safety issues, work and break expectations and experiences, and strengths and deficits related to organizational napping resources and policy are considerations that will be instrumental in the development of effective napping strategies and guidelines. 6 1 How does this study further our knowledge of the topic you are reporting on? Based on this information, what new questions arise? What other studies need to be done in order to determine if there really is or is not a relationship between the variables of interest? Well, the key to knowledge with all subjects is the more you read the more you learn. There will always be more and more questions the further you read because the problems never end in this type of industry as more health concerns come along. Why are nurses characteristics so different when sleeping and napping anywhere? Does further investigation need done? 7 IHP 340 Module Six Worksheet Guidelines and Rubric Overview: In this worksheet activity, you will need to analyze the conclusions reached by the researchers in your final project article and compare them to the conclusions of a similar study from the reference section of your selected study.
