Qualitative Studies
Background of Study
Comment by Linda Permoda: Background Article 1Identify the clinical problem and research problem that led to the study. How did the author establish the significance of the study? In other words, why should the reader care about this study? Identify the purpose of the study. An author may clearly state the purpose of the study or may describe the purpose as the study goals, objectives, or aims. List research questions that the study was designed to answer. If the author does not explicitly provide the questions, attempt to infer the questions from the answers. Were the purpose and research questions related to the problem? Did the authors cite a hypothesis? Be sure to support your response with textbook information regarding the hypothesis that drove the study.
1. Summary of studies. Include problem, significance to nursing, purpose, objective, and research question.
The purpose of this paper is to provide a clear and vivid analysis of different qualitative studies based on what was performed in them. By performing vivid and quality analysis of different qualitative and qualitative analysis, a significant lot of information can be collected. Within the first study, both a randomized and a controlled trial that was incorporating kangaroo care was performed. In-spite of the conventional method that is used in the analysis of vital signs within arterial oxygen saturation rates- that is within the newborns that were hospitalized or those within the neonatal intensive care units was also performed.
The study is significant to nursing since kangaroo mother care is not only effective in improving the overall health and well-being of the individuals within the population but is also an effective strategy in improving the overall well-being of the individuals in question. Kangaroo mother care not only improves the overall progress of the child but also makes the progress to health and wellbeing of the individual in question plausible. Kangaroo mother care has been found effective in both the prevention of neonatal hypothermia and in the development of health and wellbeing in newborns (Dehghani et al., 2015).
The article clearly illustrates that the provision of total, quality patient care using Kangaroo care has been found to lead to an increase in the improvements in various aspects that are related to the generation of thermoregulation and ultimately to the improvement of the health and wellbeing of the individuals in question. The study in question employed quantitative methods in-order to achieve its objectives. The quantitative variables that were ideally used in the case of the study included aspects such as temperature and saturation of oxygen and of the heart rate- which can subsequently be measures and analyzed using appropriate statistically efficient methods (Dehghani et al., 2015).
The second study that was effectively analyzed in the paper is that which analyzed the knowledge, the attitudes and the practices that were towards Kangaroo mother care. Both the knowledge and specific skills related to kangaroo mother care have been analyzed and found to be important in both the promotion and the subsequent reduction of hypothermia within neonates (Ramani et al., 2018).
Nurses have also been found to be with their patients most of the time and have, therefore, been best positioned to aid and support in the provision of kangaroo care in-order to benefit in the prevention of hypothermia as required. Mothers have thus been seen to be an effective part in both the perception and the associated factors affecting kangaroo care. The continuation of kangaroo care has thus been a critical factor in both the maintenance of both the different milestones and in enhancing the associated well-being of the neonates in question (Ramani et al., 2018).
How do these two articles support the nurse practice issue you chose?
1. Discuss how these two articles will be used to answer your PICOT question.
The two articles will be effective in answering the two PICOT questions since the findings from both articles will prove effective in providing the associated and needed findings. The findings from the two articles are additionally effective, since this aids drastically in developing the needed outline and aids in developing the needed results at the end of the day.
2. Describe how the interventions and comparison groups in the articles compare to those identified in your PICOT question.
The interventions that were in the articles that compare to those in the PICOT question include the provision of total patient care that focuses on the needs of the patients. The PICOT
Method of Study:
Comment by Linda Permoda: Method of Study- Article 1Was the study descriptive, correlational, experimental, quasi-experimental? Did the researcher tell you what type of study this is, or did you deduct it from textbook definition and the way the researcher collected data- such as how the sample was collected, variables, etc.? Use your book to support your response. Describe the sample population. What does your book say about population sample size? What data collection tools were used? How did the researchers sort the data? How were results analyzed? How was bias controlled? There is always a review of the literature section. Find the section and see what types of literature the authors read to get foundation for this study. What does your textbook author say about articles older than 5 years and importance of scholarly articles in the literature review? In the review of the literature did the author cite quantitative and qualitative studies relevant to the focus of the study? Are the references current? Did the literature review include adequate information to build a logical argument? Were articles strong evidence to support the study?
1. State the methods of the two articles you are comparing and describe how they are different.
The first study employed a randomized control trial- in-order to properly collect the objectives in question. The use of a randomized control trial where 27 neonates received kangaroo care received care within their incubators.
The second study also used a randomized control trial with 36 cases receive kangaroo care. 36 of the cases were under conventional care.
2. Consider the methods you identified in your chosen articles and state one benefit and one limitation of each method.
The randomized controlled method is effective since it aids in minimizing bias. The randomized controlled trail is however disadvantageous since the results may not always mimic real life situation and, therefore, believing the findings would be a problem.
Results of Study
Comment by Linda Permoda: Combined Results of the Studies Summarize key findings of each study in two comprehensive paragraphs. Please make sure you include implications of the two studies to nursing practice.
1. Summarize the key findings of each study in one or two comprehensive paragraphs.
Based on the two findings, there is an immense volume of information that can be collected in the first study for instance, Kangaroo mother care was found to be effective in the provision of total quality patient centered care. The use of kangaroo mother care is central to improving the overall health and well-being of the individual involved. Kangaroo care has been found to improve the bonding of the child with his or her parents. Proper bonding also improves the overall growth and development of the child in question.
In the second study, knowledge of Kangaroo care was found to be an important aspect to the growth and development of the child in question. Proper knowledge and intelligence on the use of kangaroo care meant that the child in question could grow properly through the stages of growth and development. Individuals who did not understand proper modalities of using kangaroo mother care were however in trouble since they could not properly proceed with activities of daily living.
2. What are the implications of the two studies in nursing practice?
The two studies are incredibly useful in nursing practice since the results from them are ultimately beneficial. The two studies are useful in that they both focus on the needs of the individual and client needs as they move along the continuum of health. The provision of Kangaroo mother care has been seen to be beneficial in ensuring clients progress well in their life. Not only does Kangaroo mother care provide the needed heat for the client’s baby but it also ensures that the health and well-being of child is properly maintained.
Ethical Considerations
Comment by Linda Permoda: the two studies to nursing practice. Ethical Considerations Discuss how the researchers in your two studies ensured ethical considerations while conducting the research. Discuss two ethical considerations in conducting research. What did your book state as imperative in protecting participants?
1. Discuss two ethical consideration in conducting research.
The ethical considerations to put consideration when performing the two articles include ensuring that the consent forms are properly signed. Proper signing of consent forms can be effective in finding the right solution to the many problems that the clients have. A properly signed consent form not only ensures that the client is effectively proceeding with the activities of daily living but that all his or her needs are properly met at the end of the day.
Another ethical consideration when conducting the research includes the consideration and noting of the age of the participants. Since the participants are the center of focus, it is true to assert that the right approach in managing their conditions is met. The ethical considerations of various participants suffering a host of medical conditions is thus considered through performing ethical research.
2. Describe how the researchers in the two articles you choose took these ethical considerations into account while performing their research.
The two researchers in the two articles took the ethical aspects into consideration when they were performing their research. In the first case, they properly analyzed the ages and genders of the individuals within the specified age group. The researchers also analyzed maters to do with the time that the research needs to be done.
Conclusion Comment by Linda Permoda: The conclusion needs to go back to the PICO. How do the two studies relate back up to the PICO. Do these studies answer your PICO question?

Introduction Comment by Linda Permoda: All APA require an introduction and conclusion. Please tell the reader your PICO in the introduction so the reader knows the plan.
Background Comment by Linda Permoda: GCU expectation: Background: Background of study, including problem, significance to nursing, purpose, objective, and research questions, is thorough with substantial relevant details and extensive explanation. What does your textbook say about why the purpose, problem and questions must match up? Textbook support required to transform your paper from summary to critique. Comment by Linda Permoda:
The first study looks at how the kangaroo mother care is the most efficient method that is there to provide the newborn with skin contact with the mother’s skin particularly when they are underweight and premature. The kangaroo method is not common in some countries like Iran. The aim of the current study is to determine the impact which the KMC method has on the arterial oxygen saturation and the vital signs of the newborns when compared to the incubator care method so as to facilitate the use of this method.
Method
The KMC method is better when compared to the others in creation of better conditions for the newborn and the mother. The method is based on the principles that are basic such as skin to skin contact, the exclusive breastfeeding, as well as the support to the mother-infant dyad. The method involves placing the newborn at the front of the chest of the mother using a cloth bag which is wrapped around the both of them. It can be done from birth whether day or night and it can be used at intermittent periods. The method is important in regulation and stabilization of breathing, the improvement of the respiratory disease, and increase and regulation of the heart rate. There is also an observed increase in arterial oxygen saturation rate (Dehghani et al., 2015).

The second study looks at the kangaroo mother care for the prevention of neonatal hypothermia. The study is a randomized controlled trial in term neonates. The aim of this study is to test the hypothesis that KMC which is initiated either at birth or after an hour after birth helps in reducing severe or moderate hypothermia in term neonates at one hour after a child is born and at discharge when compared with the standardized thermoregulation care. KMC has been shown to assist the newborns in several ways and one of these benefits is the prevention of hypothermia in the new born.
Method
The study aimed at looking at the effects of having the child on the chest of the mother for the period of time. The newborn is on the chest of the mother with a cloth bag where they share in the warm of the body of the mother as opposed to using the standard methods of thermal regulation in the bodies. It is important to note these benefits to the child as they can be lifesaving particularly in cold climates (Ramani et al., 2018).
How the Two Articles Support the Chosen Nurse Practice
The first study looks at the relationship between the vital signs of the infant and the use of KMC there are various vital signs which it looks at such as oxygen saturation among others. The study looks at how KMC can be used in these vital signs such as the thermal regulation which has been discussed in the PICOT question (Dehghani et al., 2015).
The second study is effective when it comes to relationship with the PICOT question. The first article in essence has informed that the provision of kangaroo care has an association which has a marked improvement in aspects which are related to thermoregulation (Ramani et al., 2018). The article has therefore associated with the PICOT question among thermal regulation within the first month of the life of the infant.
The interventions which are in the articles when compared to those in the PICOT question are similar. The interventions which are discussed in the studies and the PICOT is the use of kangaroo mother care for the infants. At the same time, the studies look at the focus on the health of the infants both through thermoregulation and other vitals.
Method of Study Comment by Linda Permoda: GCU expectation: Method: A thorough discussion on the method of study for each article is presented. The comparison of study methods is described in detail. The discussion demonstrates a solid understanding of research methods. What type of quantitative study is this? Experimental, quasi-experimental, descriptive, correlational? Textbook support required to transform your paper from summary to critique. By using the textbook you would have been able to not only identify the type of method but also explain why that method chosen is appropriate for the study. Did the author(s) discuss benefits and limitations of the study? What did your textbook say about the importance of designing a study that matches up with the intent?
In the first study, there was a clinical trial study on 53 neonates who had been hospitalized in the Neonatal Intensive Care United and they were divided randomly into two case and a control group. The KMC was done on the newborns in the group each for an hour for 3 consecutive days (Dehghani et al., 2015). The signs which were checked include temperature, respiratory and heart rate per minute, the oxygen saturation rate during the before and after.
In the second study, term neonates that were born at a tertiary delivery center in Zambia were randomized in two phases. The first phase involved birth to one hour while the second involved one hour to discharge. The neonates were provided with as much KMC as possible in a combination with standard thermoregulation care (KMC group) or to the standard thermoregulation care (Control group). The primary outcomes of the study were severe or moderate hypothermia (Ramani et al., 2018).
The clinical trial study has the benefit that one can get a new treatment for a particular condition before it is made available. There is provision for more frequent health checkups. There are limitations of the randomized clinical trial because they are costly and time consuming. The advantage of a randomized control trial is that every individual has an equal probability of being part of the treatment. There is the balancing of the known and unknown confounders so as to make treatment and control groups as balanced as possible.
Outcomes/ Conclusion
Results of the Study
The results of the first study showed that the average temperature variations as well as the arterial oxygen saturation rate between the two groups had significant differences in the three days of examining (P < 0/056, P = 0/00), but there are no significant differences as well as in the mean respiration and heart rate between each of the two groups (P = NS). The KMC method was, therefore, found to be effective in improvement and stabilization of vital signs for newborns (Dehghani et al., 2015).
The results of the second study showed that the proportion of neonates with severe or moderate hypothermia did not differ between the control and KMC group after birth (25% vs 27%, relative risk (RR)=0.93, 95% CI 0.59 to 1.4, P=0.78) or at discharge (7% vs 2%, RR=2.8, 95% CI 0.6 to 13.9, P=0.16). the hypothermia was not detected among those infants who had the KMC for at least 80% or 9 hours or more of the stay (Ramani et al., 2018).
Implications on Nursing Practice
The two studies are useful when it comes to nursing practice. The two studies are important when looking at the needs of the patients and the overall nursing practice. The provision of the KMC was seen to be beneficial leading to the right way in life. The KMC method was seen as important in giving the baby the warm and ensuring that they maintain the wellbeing and the health. Nursing will improve when it comes to continuous healthcare for babies.
Outcomes Comparison
The anticipated outcomes of the PICOT question are that kangaroo care is better compared to conventional care when it comes to promotion of temperate regulation in the first month of life. The two studies show that the method has worked in the promotion of health. The two studies showed that KMS assists in the promotion of health outcomes for the children.

First, you will need to complete an order form. It's not difficult but, if anything is unclear, you may always chat with us so that we can guide you through it. On the order form, you will need to include some basic information concerning your order: subject, topic, number of pages, etc. We also encourage our clients to upload any relevant information or sources that will help.
Complete the order formOnce we have all the information and instructions that we need, we select the most suitable writer for your assignment. While everything seems to be clear, the writer, who has complete knowledge of the subject, may need clarification from you. It is at that point that you would receive a call or email from us.
Writer’s assignmentAs soon as the writer has finished, it will be delivered both to the website and to your email address so that you will not miss it. If your deadline is close at hand, we will place a call to you to make sure that you receive the paper on time.
