Research Critique Guidelines – Part I

Qualitative Studies

Background of Study

Study 1:

Article 1, I chose for this critique is the only chance of normal weight life: a qualitative study of online forum discussions about bariatric surgery . This article elaborates that bariatric surgery is the only effective treatment to lose weight for severe obesity. Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is one of the most common methods used in bariatric surgery. Even if lifelong lifestyle changes are required, patients still have many unrealistic expectations from the bariatric surgery and expect a miracle cure. One of the major problems is that most patients get information about their bariatric surgery through online platforms but do not seek education from nurses and contact those who have had the surgery to get information(Taube et al., 2016). This study aims to demonstrate shared feelings, thoughts, and values of patients attained who wants to undergo bariatric surgery through a web-based forum. The research question addressed in this study is: What are the thoughts and experiences of bariatric surgery subjects collected via online platforms? The outcome is the variable response of bariatric surgery seen in different people, suggesting mixed lifestyle improvement.

Study 2:

The second study I choose is “Bridging the gap: Patient experiences following the transfer of care from a pediatric obesity management program to an adult bariatric surgery program,” in which themes are identified to check the experience of a base of young adults whose age ranges from 18 years 24 years. These are the adults who transfer their care from a pediatric management program of obesity to an adult bariatric surgery program. This study aims to understand the developmental needs of obese adults and how it impacts their experiences of the transition process(Willmer & Salzmann-Erikson, 2018). The research question of this article discusses the efficiency of support group-based programs in the psychological condition of obese subjects undergoing bariatric surgery and how it can be associated with an improved lifestyle. The outcome of the study is the group settings that lead to healthy lifestyle promotion among subjects.

How do these two articles support the nurse practice issue you chose?

1. The nurse practice issue I choose is the pre and post stages of bariatric surgery . Article 1 is in accordance with the selected nursing issue as it addresses both the pre and postoperative stage of bariatric surgery and online discussion.

2. My second article is about the nurse practice issue about checking the efficiency of support group. This evidence from the study reviewed the efficiency of support groups among the patient of bariatric surgery and its relationship with reduced weight and a better lifestyle, therefore, meets the research goal of the selected nursing problem.

Method of Study:

1. In the first article, a cross-sectional observational method was used for qualitative analysis of the contents. In this study, online discussion forums were used to collect the information about bariatric surgery experiences with 498 posts. These posts were saved in a document and were available to the participants for reading. One of the benefits of a cross-sectional observational study is that it is easy to conduct and can measure the prevalence of all the required factors. The limitation of this method is that no evidence of a temporal relationship exists between outcomes and exposures as both parameters are assessed simultaneously. The other limitation was that the patient's age, gender, and occupation were not known through google forms.

2. In the second article , seven young adults were selected who transformed their management care program of obesity from pediatric to adult healthcare. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with these bariatric patients. The ground theory approach was used, and analysis was done by constant comparative analysis. The benefit of a semi-structured interview is that questions can be prepared beforehand, and the participants are allowed for open-ended responses. The limitation is that it is very time-consuming to conduct open-ended interviews.

Results of Study

1. Study 1 showed that the patients who underwent surgery had very unrealistic and high expectations and believe that surgery will change their lives. Key findings are that Many participants expected a new and healthier life after surgery without making lifestyle modifications. Nurses can educate the patient before the conduction of surgery about the real scenarios so that they do not expect unrealistic outcomes. The nurse also provides information to the patient about a healthy lifestyle and changes they need to adapt to achieve it.

2. The second study showed that a support group program could empower subjects in making healthy lifestyle choices resulting in reduced weight and prolonged health. It also demonstrates that the adults regarding the transition process experience negative and positive aspects. Key findings are that a support group program can empower subjects in making healthy lifestyle choices resulting in reduced weight and prolonged health. Nurses can conduct programs in providing health education for a healthy lifestyle. Nurses also help to eliminate the negative thoughts of patients regarding the transition process.

Ethical Considerations

1. While carrying out qualitative research, some important ethical concerns should be taken into consideration. First of all, informed consent should be provided to the participants, and the person who is conducting the research should follow these rules. Secondly, the privacy and confidentiality of the participant should be respected(Arifin, 2018).

2. In the first study, the ethical considerations are followed properly as no personal information such as occupation, personal identities were uncovered. Moreover, the online Google forum was designed in such a way that participants felt very comfortable expressing their feelings and thoughts. In the second study, participants were ensured that their personal information would be kept safe, and permission was taken from them before recording their interview.
