Quantitative Annotated Bibliography
In this week’s discussion question you were asked to consider a potential problem (appropriate to your role option) that you would like to investigate through nursing research. For this assignment you will review current research from South’s Online Library and provide a critical evaluation on that research through an annotated bibliography. An annotated bibliography is a brief summary and analysis of the journal article reviewed. For more information on annotated bibliographies please visit Purdue’s OWL: Purdue Online Writing Lab
A total of two annotated bibliographies are to be submitted (not to exceed one page each). The articles must come from nursing scholarly literature and may not be older than 5 years since publication. Please note that the articles must be research based and reflect a quantitative methodology (review our reading assignments). Web pages, magazines, textbooks, and other books are not acceptable.
Each annotation must address the following critical elements:
Explanation of the main purpose and scope of the cited work
Brief descriiption of the research conducted
Value and significance of the work (e.g., study’s findings, scope of the research project) as a contribution to the subject under consideration
Possible shortcomings or bias in the work
Conclusions or observations reached by the author
Summary as to why this research lends evidence to support the potential problem identified specific to your role option.
Below is what my post was for this weeks discussion that this needs to be utilized in the above project
Nursing Research Proposal: Response to Elder Abuse in Long-Term Care Facilities
As a nurse administrator, I safeguard the welfare and lives of persons in long-term upkeep settings. It is necessary to underline that elder abuse is still a critical problem that affects not only the victims but also the professionalism and credibility of healthcare systems. This proposal concentrates on finding unique solutions to the problem of elder abuse since this is fundamental to providing residents with a safe environment.
Literature Review
To learn the extent of the effects of senior citizens’ abuse in LTCFs, I went on a literature search in South’s Online Library. CINAHL and PubMed databases were used with keywords including “elder abuse” and “long-term care” The criteria for choosing the articles and databases included their recency, credibility, and topic relevance. Ultimately, three recent articles focused on nursing research deemed appropriate to support the proposal. Patel et al. (2021) described the high incidence of elder manipulation as one of the top concerns due to staff burnout and shortage of staff, giving an overview of the phenomenon from a neutral point of view. Bajpai et al. (2023) pointed out that patient abuse had profound psychological impacts on the residents as well as the elderly patients. Similarly, Hirt et al. (2022) also focused on how the complex culture of staff-to-resident abuse is predominant in treatment homes, highlighting the root causes of the vice and findings that could intervene or contribute to this issue. This literature, therefore, highlights the need to tackle this issue.
Discussion
Problem Focus
The findings of the literature review also point out that elderly abuse in care facilities is a complex problem which impacts patient care and their safety. According to Hirt et al. (2022), the rate of abuse is exceptionally high, with various findings proving that the rate of abuse is high among the residents. This issue is made worse by challenges like inadequate staffing, weak training, and suboptimal reporting systems. Notably, the dynamic effects are felt directly by the residents, with the potential of resulting in injuries, stress, and, in extreme cases, precipitous death (Patel et al., 2021). The literature emphasizes that these problems require multifaceted solutions, especially if a nurse administrator can spearhead organizational changes.
Innovation Proposal
Therefore, I recommend a multifaceted staff training program to prevent elder abuse among clients. This program would encompass staff training on signs of abuse, how to report, and promoting respect and patients’ well-being. Integrating technology, like anonymous reporting apps, would also enhance reporting and detection at an early stage. Ultimately, this two-pronged strategy of improving awareness and providing the staff with the appropriate resources shall decrease elder abuse rates while increasing the quality of care.
Conclusion
Conclusively, the abuse of the elderly in care facilities is a rampant vice calling for the attention it deserves. Hence, implementing the proposed training program would enable staff to recognize and stop abuse, which in turn would provide appropriate care to residents without being abused themselves.
