NR 505 Week 7: Exploring Research Results
NR 505 Week 7: Exploring Research Results
Using the following steps found within the translation phase of the Practice Evidence
Translation (PET) model developed by Johns Hopkins, select a research result reported
in a journal article that supports your PICOT/PICo question. Please respond to the
following steps. Please note that wording of the steps may have been modified slightly
from the PET so that they help with this posting. Include the permalink at the end of
your posting.
Using references, identity the research result that
you could use in your practice setting.
Determine fit, feasibility, and appropriateness of the
result for your practice setting.
Using Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA), outline an action
plan.
Identify the resources (physical, personal,
technology) needed to implement your action plan.
Determine the criteria that you would use to
determine whether the implementation of your
project was successful.
Identify one future research study that would be
useful in extending knowledge of your selected
project result.

PICo questions: How do nurses in an inpatient
setting perceive the value of bedside shift report?
Completing last week’s research, it is apparent
that bedside shift report adds a layer of safety for
the patients. A qualitative study in an inner-city,
acute care teaching hospital, was done to gain
insight on what experiences nurses had with
BSR. Jeffs et al. (2013) interviewed 43 female
nurses from various clinical specialties. The
participants were asked to list the positive and the
negatives about BSR. Topics that were covered
included describing the positives and negatives of
face to face interactions with nursing colleagues;
the negative outcomes associated with the
interactions and involvement of patients in care
planning; and if they felt that the care was more
patient-centered and safer. Over six months, the
nurses took in observations and found that they
could identify, intercept and correct potential
errors. In addition, they could clarify the care plan
and patient needs. The nurses were also able to
prioritize care with a quick assessment. The
results may be affected by the limitation of the
study only taking place in one hospital. The study
was well rounded to include nurses from different
units.
My plan in implementing a change to bedside
shift report is to improve patient safety by
improving nurse to nurse communication and
reducing hospital events including patient falls. I
would gather the baseline quality data for the
hospital units involved in the study. Once the plan
is discussed with all members involved and the
education on how to conduct the BSR is provided
to the nurses involved in the implementation the
next step is to do. Set the date and start
monitoring and evaluating the new process of
BSR. Conducting interviews with nurses at the
beginning and several weeks later to understand
barriers and successes from the new process.
The length of time to conduct interviews can be
difficult to determine in a qualitative study. In this
process change scenario, I would continue to
conduct interviews until I started to receive
redundant responses to questions multiple times.
Next, I will study the data obtained through the
interviews and the quality data collected over that
same time period. I should be able to determine if
I reached the outcome I predicted and if the

implementation went as I planned. This is a good
time to evaluate any barriers or challenges
encountered during the implementation. The step
in the PDSA is act. Taking the information learned
during the implementation and ensuring that the
solutions remain sustainable.
