The research design of the study
The research article by Dechawatanapaisal (2018) utilized a survey research design
method. This is a design method in which the primary source of data is a survey. The researcher
makes use of the survey to have a better understanding of the individuals or group of individuals
being studied relative to the topic or the concept of interest. In line with this article, the survey
method ensured that the participants engaged in self-reporting with the help of questionnaires so
that they better understand the impact of the highlighted factors. Kurnat-Thoma et al (2017) on
the other hand employed the evidence-based turnover analysis research design to undertake the
study. The main participants who were involved in the study included the nurses. The third
article by Stalpers et al (2015) employed the correlational research design method in which
relevant literature review studies were reviewed and relevant information collected.
Threats to external/internal validity
Internal validity refers to the extent or degree to which the relationship being tested is
trustworthy. The potential internal threats established from the articles include but are not limited
to; social interaction. The interaction that people have from different groups has a significant
impact on the outcome. For instance, the nurses who are working based on fixed hours are
resentful of the nurses who are working with flexible hours. This significantly impacts the job
satisfaction that employees go through. Another potential internal threat is regression towards the
mean. Employees, and nurses in this case who tend to score very low in the first survey many
times show a better and higher score in the next survey. This is in comparison with employees
who score averagely in the first score.
Nursing Paper 3
External threats to validity, on the other hand, refer to the degree to which study results
can be applied in real-life situations or even to a group of events. The common threat to external
validity is sampling bias. There can be situations in which the sample selected is not the actual
representation of the population to be studied. In this case, for example, the nurses who have
been interviewed might be having pre-determined minds about how they feel about the situation.
This renders them unfit to represent a population sample. Another external threat is the
Hawthorne effect. This is a threat in which the participants selected for the study tend to change
their behaviors after realizing that they are being studied. For instance, the participants might
decide to avoid anxiety-inducing situations because they are conscious of what is being studied.
Potential legal/ethical issues within the article
The potential ethical issues include informed consent. In nursing and health-related
articles, informed consent is a common battle for nurses. Dilemma situations emerge in cases
where the patients together with their children have not been informed fully about the treatment
that they are supposed to go through. There are also issues pointing out that patients are not free
to ask questions yet they are not aware of the implication of the fear of the services they are
about to receive. The second ethical issue is inadequate staffing and resources. This is evident in
the articles that have been presented. The cost of healthcare has been on the rising daily. Patients
and nurses themselves are at great risk when the resources are not enough. This demands a
formulation of very hard decisions.

Data analysis (be sure to elaborate on this more from your paper in week 4, providing
specifics about the results)
The research article by Dechawatanapaisal (2018) established that there three major
contributors to nursing turnover rates are lead exchange quality, organizational identification,
and job embeddedness. According to the results obtained, if these three can be taken good care of
in the organization, then it is evident that turnover rates will be taken good care of. These causes
are majorly engineered by the nature of the management of a facility. Kurnat-Thoma et al (2017)
on the other hand realized that the implementation of an onboarding program can significantly
reduce nurse turnover rates. According to the article, this can be attained through having quality
standards and procedures employees follow to join an organization. If the steps followed are the
right ones, then it is evident that turnover rates will be at their minimum. The third article
revealed that there exists a sensitive relationship between nurses and patients, which plays a role
in employee turnover. The environment that relationship between these two people creates a
robust environment in which other activities in the organization go on very well with minimum
disturbances.
Implications for evidence-based practice and how this article could be used to make an
evidence-based change
Evidence-Based Change (EBP) is a typical process that commences with a simple clinical
question and later goes ahead to finding critically appraising evidence. The article has played an
essential role in establishing a practice change that ought to be changed. The information that has
been provided by the articles gives a solid foundation for the follow up steps, that is integrating
evidence in the clinical expertise as well as patients preferences. Through the article, relevant
Nursing Paper 5
organizations and bodies are well positioned to implement decisions that will address the
turnover rates. This will collectively bring change. The articles have enhanced the understanding
of internal and external threats as well as possible legal implications which might emerge.
Conclusion/summary of the evidence
In summary, there exists several factors influencing the working nature of the nurses as
well as their relationship with the patients whom they are meant to handle. Other inadequacies
that patients meet in town do not solely come from inadequate staffing of the nurses and their
high turnover rates. However, if the staffing issues can be addressed, many challenges faced by
patients would have been addressed. This is because the higher the number of nurses in place, the
better the services that are being offered since patients have more and enough time with the
patients.
