My main topic is ” Would reducing nurse work (24) hours per week improve mental health. If so, would implementing a better work-life balance help mitigate nurse burnout and staff shortage in northern california urban hospitals ?”
Under is the instruction from my professor
I will also provided my previous 2 paper for refferences
I also included 8 sources that needed to be in this paper
Remember that there are two main aims for this class culminating in this assignment. I need to see that you can talk about existing literature (via a narrative literature review) and research methodologies (via a methods section) as those are crucial skills for evidence-based nurses to master. In the narrative literature review, you showed me you can synthesize and talk about the chocolate chip cookie of a topic. In the methodological literature review, you showed me you can talk about research methodologies in other studies. Now, in the research proposal, you will do both again.
You will write a brief narrative literature review (this can be based on your previous lit review but you’ll need to refine, tighten, and adjust it based on your likely slightly different/more narrow topic), identify a gap in the existing literature, and then propose a research project that would fill that gap.
You’ll have the following sections:
Abstract: this will prioritize your original contribution, which will be a brief summary of the proposed project and why is matters; again, you should write this last, after you figure out your proposed project.
Introduction: a couple of short paragraphs providing background and a thesis identifying the scope of the topic. <1 page
Literature review: this will be a bit shorter than the first paper you wrote but will include more sources so you'll need to be more concise. ~2-3 pages ( must have all 8 provided sources)
Proposed research question(s): set this up in text: "The following research question will guide this proposed study...." 1 short paragraph
Proposed methods: this section will include specific details about the following subsections (which could be under Level 2 headings that are left aligned and bolded or just lumped together). ~2-3 pages
Context/materials: where would you collect data? What kind of intervention/materials/treatment would you be evaluating?
Participants: who are your participants? How many of them do you want to get? How would you recruit participants? You need to justify your choices here.
Data collection methods: how would you collect data? Be specific (interviews? Blood pressure measurements? Surveys?) You need to justify your choices.
Data analysis methods: this is different than the data collection methods and tends to be one of the areas that students under-develop most. Think of the data collection methods as what you do to collect data. The data analysis methods is what comes after that. Once you get data, how do you look at them (data is technically a plural noun)? Do you tally patterns in interview data? Do you run statistics? Both the data collection and analysis sections can use support from the research methodologies readings I had you do the other week.
Anticipated results: don't pretend that you already collected data/did the study and fake your results. Just talk about what you think you'll find. Most importantly, show why your study matters. You'll include connection back to the established literature. This is acting as the discussion. ~1-2 pages
Conclusion: you'll summarize your project, discuss the limitations of your particular proposed methods, and end with a brief discussion of why your study is important. ~1 pageRemember that there are two main aims for this class culminating in this assignment.
