I am stuck on this DQ

I am stuck on this DQ- Using the research article selected for DQ 1, identify three key questions you will ask and answer when reading the research study and why these questions are important.

I used this article on pressure ulcers (Permalink): https://lopes.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=ccm&AN=137037259&site=eds-

Can you give me some guidance on how to proceed or possible questions to use?"

1. What is research question or hypothesis in the study?

 Why This is Important: The identification of the objective and tasks of the study is possible with the help of knowledge on the research question or hypothesis. That way, it is possible to determine whether the study is focusing on an appropriate problem and whether the results of the study are consistent with the clinical realities of pressure ulcers.

 How to Find the Answer: In the top part of the article or what is called the introduction part, you will be able to look at a brief of what the full article is all about. In any case, this section can also point out the research question or hypothesis in a concise and clearly. Otherwise, they can be ‘found’ under the problem statement/area of study section or under the objective section.

 2. Which technique was used in the research and how do validity an reliability of the research gets affected by that.

 Why This is Important: It lays down how the research was done, and thereby affects the accuracy or truth of the observations made. With such skills, one is in a better position of not Only assessing the reliability and relevance of the study to practice but also being conversant with the design, sample, data collection and data analysis process.

 How to Find the Answer: There is no avoidable methodology section in the case article and thus, you should read it critically. Find out whether the study in question was observational, experimental or of some other stripe, and scrutinize the information about the data acquisition and processing. Consider, discuss, and identify likely to recur method bias/limitation of given research methods.

 3. In your view, what are the significant research findings, and what is their potential use in clinical or patient management?

 Why This is Important: Consequently, the results of the study may provide understanding of new knowledge or practice which can facilitate alter and enhance the management of pressure ulcers. If it is possible to grasp their practical application, this helps to determine how the outcomes of the work can be applied to improve patient’s outcomes.

 How to Find the Answer: Nil as there is no result and discussion part of the article. Some of them are; These are points that may have relevance with clinical practice for instance; the changes of the treatment regiments, Prevention measures or patient enlightenment.

 Example Application to Your Article:Ways You Can Use This Example to Your Article:

 1. What is the purpose of the study: What is your research question/ hypothesis?

 Example Answer: The research can also be on the effectiveness of the new developed protocol in preventing formation of pressure ulcer in patients who are confined to their beds. Understanding this enables the evaluation of whether the objective of the study is relevant to the identified gaps in regard to the management of pressure ulcers.

 2. In any research study, different research methods are used, what was the research method used in the study and how does this impact on the validity and reliability of the research study?

 Example Answer: RCT if used in the study often offer very convincing evidence that a given factor leads an effect because the human individuals in the study are as well divided randomly between the test and comparison groups. If it employed a survey or observational study than one has to imagine how this reduces the chances of establishing causation.

 3. In summary, the following are the main findings of the current study: This paper intended to look at the key points made and how they could be utilised or used in/ or related to clinical practice to enhance patients care/ or to show where the findings of the research has a bearing on the health of the patients.

 Example Answer: It may establish that, by application of a certain kind of dress, incidence of pressure ulcer is reduced by a given percentage. Therefore, this finding can be used to change the practice bulletins and guidelines for diagnosing or treating pressure ulcers or the nursing care procedures for preventing pressure ulcers.
