NURS FPX 8045 Assessment 6 Synthesis of the Evidence: Substantiating an Intervention for Obesity

Critical analysis of research articles necessitates the consideration of strengths and limitations based on data collection, study design, and setting. Kueakomoldej et al. (2020) employed a scoping review approach, standard research methods, and study design to outline the appropriate interventions, improving nurses’ experience and intention to retain. However, the practicality of intervention in particular health settings can vary based on the organizational structure and finances. Additional research is required in various aspects. Further studies can focus on prospective research or randomized controlled trials that verify the findings of integrated and systematic reviews like Vries et al. (2023) and Oates et al. (2020). Analysis of organizational challenges, allocation of resources, and stakeholder participation are critical for the effective execution of interventions. Addressing these subjects for additional inquiry will promote the applicability of interventions to fill the practice gap at LMH.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the thorough investigation of the practice gap in the nurse shortage at LMH has shown new avenues for improving patient care. The integration of current studies and critical assessment of data show that resolving this gap requires an integrated strategy. Effective interventions like retention and hiring strategies and inclusive workplaces improve nurses’ satisfaction and retention. Leadership can create significant improvements in the nursing shortage by adopting evidence-based practices.
