Critucal Research Analysis
Qualitative Research Critical Analysis Paper:
Exploring Student Nurse Anesthetist Stressors and Coping Using Grounded Theory Methodology
Introduction
Nursing research began with Florence Nightingale in the 1970s and has since developed legitimizing the nursing profession (Loiselle & McGrath, 2011). Research is now a prominent and important part of nursing education and practice. The importance of conducting a qualitative research critique is to broaden nurses understanding of a particular study and to help nurses determine the trustworthiness and credibility of a study before incorporating the findings into their practice (Loiselle & McGrath, 2011). In this paper, a critical analysis was conducted on the article by Joy Phillips, “Exploring Student Nurse Anesthetist Stressors and Coping Using Grounded Theory Methodology” focusing on the qualitative methodology, description of target population, sample and setting, ethical issues, data analysis and quality of description of findings and implications for nursing practice. Next a summary of this paper is provided synthesizing the content of the paper. The purpose of this paper is to cultivate critical thinking, evaluate the research methods and discuss the strengths, limitations and logical links among the steps of the research process.
Overview
The overall presentation of the study was consistent with the study’s purpose, method and findings. The study has some implications and recommendations for both student nurse anesthetist and nurse faculty. Also, the recommendations in the study may be beneficial for the students enrolled in parallel programs. A number of steps of the research process were not identified in the article, however this could be due to the specific requirements that articles should include before being submitted to the American Association of Nurses Anesthetists Journal for Publication (American Association of Nurse Anesthetists, 2011). The report could have provided more detail on the type
