Notes

Peer reviewed

Focused to only one site so generalization to other settings may be limited.

Current research from 2017, adding to my knowledge of new technologies

Research statement clear and concise

Can make research results harder to analyze as they are impressions, opinions, and views which are not measurable.

Written well, not simplified but professional.

Identified the new technology, nurse’s perceptions, and the effects the technology had on both the patient and their families

Sample size, method, and participants

Not measurable in numbers. Usually results are perceptions or attitudes of the participants.

Used focus groups to gather information of nurses’ perceptions on the large scale interactive monitor (LCIM)

Sample size: High for a qualitative study: 55 nurses

Focus on a less studied area of nurses and pediatrics.

Focused on a single site, nursing, and new technology.

Qualitative research

Able to collect information from the nurses’ that describe their perceptions of the use of the new technology

Qualitative can be either a strength or a weakness.

Results

Perceptions, both negative and positive, included in results about the use of the LCIM in the pediatric ICU
