NUR 550 DQ 2 Identify a data collection tool you could use for your research

Identify a data collection tool you could use for your research. Consider how you could employ translational research to potentially overcome barriers, which may arise during data collection. Identify the best type of translational research to address this barrier and provide rationale for the type you have chosen. What strategies would you employ to provide an understanding of your chosen type of translational research and to gather collaborative support?

Re: Topic 4 DQ 2

I have often heard when doing a quality improvement or research project for my facility the phrase “show me the data”, Data tells a story in an analytical manner. I will honestly say I do not like to collect data, yet when in my current role as a nurse manager, it is very difficult to make changes or show improvement without data. The similar can be said for research, when doing research, one cannot prove a point or show why a project will work or improve patient outcomes unless there is data to back up the process. Data collection tools can vary dependent on the type of research, they can range from, interviews as in a qualitative study to capture the emotion or questionnaires, surveys and checklists to gather the numerical data needed in a quantitative study (Formplus, 2021).

Translational research is a tool to transition evidence based research from evidence to “real life” using the translational research(Tilter, 2018). My project is on education of the nurses about quantitative blood loss and how it can improve patient outcomes through early identification of a postpartum hemorrhage, The phase of this research is in the T3 phase of implementation in to practice or disseminating this great research to the clinical areas. Barriers to this research lie in it is a change in practice and a change in a way of thinking or changing “what we have always known”, as nurses we like to have a clear path and the why to a change in or practice to improve patient outcomes. Utilizing translational research to show and create a clinical theory can help to create that clear path on how to translate this research to practice and the “why” behind the practice change. T3 or Phase 4 of clinical outcome research can be utilized through checklists, or toolkits to help follow the translation phased to change the research from bench to bedside easier(Tilter, 2018).

Re: Topic 4 DQ 2

A data collection tool that I could use for my research would be that of data reporting from using hospital/clinic records as my source of data. This would help give me more accurate information on whether education on cervical cancer and screening options increased cervical cancer screening rates in my population. This would allow me to not have to use self-reporting as a means of my data. A barrier that could arise would be that of the clinics/hospitals allowing access to the participants health records. I could use translational research to potentially overcome barriers that may arise during data collection by it allowing for opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration to help with any knowledge gaps there may be (Diptyanusa & Hasanbasri, 2020). With this, it would be explaining to clinics and/or hospitals the importance of the information that is needing to be collected and how the information will be used to translate findings into daily practice so that they understand the reasoning behind the data why the data is needed. It should be explained that the research is to help achieve medical advances. With the lack of involvement and interdisciplinary interactions, it can deplete the translational ability of research (Diptyanusa & Hasanbasri, 2020).

The best type of translational research to address this barrier would be that of phase 5 or T5 research. The reason I chose this type of translational research is because it involves translation to the community and population level outcomes (Titler,2018). This would be the best type also because my research is based on a population of ethnic minority women in general versus a single ethnic population. Strategies that I would use to provide an understanding of my chosen type of translational research to gather collaborative support would be to explain why cervical cancer screening in important to all women including those of all ethnic minorities in order to decrease the incidence and mortality of cervical cancer among this population. I would also explain that the earlier stage cervical cancer is caught, the better the outcomes would be, and the costs of healthcare would be less than if cervical cancer was found in the later stages. I would also show data of survival rates of this cancer when found in the earlier stages versus the later stages which would show the importance of why this research is needed at a community level versus a single population level.

Re: Topic 4 DQ 2

One collection tool that I would use for my research is observation. This will assist in the data collection process for achieving the desired objective of the research study. Both the participant and non-participant observations are powerful tools for collecting qualitative data, this aids the researcher by giving an opportunity to capture various information, including verbal and non-verbal communication, techniques of providing care through demonstration, and external factors such as the environmental (Barret & Twycross, 2018). Barriers identified in the study could be lack of support from management or the organization in assisting with the research study. Also, other barriers are the heavy workload of the nurses to perform non-pharmacologic interventions, not having enough time, lack of required knowledge and skills, and having limited opportunities for participating in research (Bahadori et al., 2016).

Overcoming barriers can be done if nursing organization show commitment in aligning the substantial effort being invested in the development of best practice protocols with translational nursing research that aims to verify the validity and reliability of these identified best practices (Weiss et al., 2018). The type of translational research to address this is T2 and T3 research. The rationale behind it is because both can be used to determine how efficient these non-pharmacologic interventions are in managing chronic pain in optimal and real-world scenarios, respectively. T2 can test new interventions in a controlled setting whereas T3 can assist in determining if the interventions work for a wider group of people or the general population.

The first step I would take to gather collaborative support is to present to the organization the significance of conducting this research study. Using latest statistics provided by CDC in relation to the opioid crisis, it will give a clear picture of how non-pharmacologic interventions in addition to non-prescription medications can help with chronic pain management as well as reducing opioid abuse.

If you have not heard from me within 24 hours and need to contact me urgently, please send a follow up text to

I strongly encourage that you do not wait until the very last minute to complete your assignments. Your assignments in weeks 4 and 5 require early planning as you would need to present a teaching plan and interview a community health provider. I advise you look at the requirements for these assignments at the beginning of the course and plan accordingly. I have posted the YouTube link that explains all the class assignments in detail. It is required that you watch this 32-minute video as the assignments from week 3 through 5 require that you follow the instructions to the letter to succeed. Failure to complete these assignments according to instructions might lead to a zero. After watching the video, please schedule a one-on-one with me to discuss your topic for your project by the second week of class. Use this link to schedule a 15-minute session. Please, call me at the time of your appointment on my number. Please note that I will NOT call you.

Please, be advised I do NOT accept any assignments by email. If you are having technical issues with uploading an assignment, contact the technical department and inform me of the issue. If you have any issues that would prevent you from getting your assignments to me by the deadline, please inform me to request a possible extension. Note that working fulltime or overtime is no excuse for late assignments. There is a 5%-point deduction for every day your assignment is late. This only applies to approved extensions. Late assignments will not be accepted.

If you think you would be needing accommodations due to any reasons, please contact the appropriate department to request accommodations.

Plagiarism is highly prohibited. Please ensure you are citing your sources correctly using APA 7th edition. All assignments including discussion posts should be formatted in APA with the appropriate spacing, font, margin, and indents. Any papers not well formatted would be returned back to you, hence, I advise you review APA formatting style. I have attached a sample paper in APA format and will also post sample discussion responses in subsequent announcements.

Your initial discussion post should be a minimum of 200 words and response posts should be a minimum of 150 words. Be advised that I grade based on quality and not necessarily the number of words you post. A minimum of TWO references should be used for your initial post. For your response post, you do not need references as personal experiences would count as response posts. If you however cite anything from the literature for your response post, it is required that you cite your reference. You should include a minimum of THREE references for papers in this course. Please note that references should be no more than 5 years old except recommended as a resource for the class. Furthermore, for each discussion board question, you need ONE initial substantive response and TWO substantive responses to either your classmates or your instructor for a total of THREE responses. There are TWO discussion questions each week, hence, you need a total minimum of SIX discussion posts for each week. I usually post a discussion question each week. You could also respond to these as it would count towards your required SIX discussion posts for the week.

I understand this is a lot of information to cover in 5 weeks, however, the Bible says in Philippians 4:13 that we can do all things through Christ that strengthens us. Even in times like this, we are encouraged by God’s word that we have that ability in us to succeed with His strength. I pray that each and every one of you receives strength for this course and life generally as we navigate through this pandemic that is shaking our world today. Relax and enjoy the course!
