Importance of Nursing Theory

Introduction
Nursing, in general, refers to the nurturing and caring for a sick person. But over the years, such duties are institutionalized and carried out in a professional and scientific manner. Today, nursing has become a specific profession. Nurses are formally educated in their field and trained in the science and art of nursing, which have been developed over the years of study and research.

Introduction

Hand hygiene is largely recognized as an effective method for minimizing incidences of hospital-acquired infections (HAIs). However, despite the development of various guidelines to improve hand hygiene, the compliance with these guidelines as well as the best practices pertaining to hand hygiene by the healthcare providers is suboptimal. As a result of poor compliance, incidences of HAIs have continued to increase thereby raising huge concerns due to the associated consequences such as increased length of hospital stay and health spending. As such, there is a huge need to assess and understand the various factors that hinder optimal compliance with ...

Theoretical Framework

Overview
The theoretical framework that directs this study is the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) developed by Ajzen. According to the model, planned behavior is influenced by three primary constructs: attitude, perceived behavioral control (PBC), and subjective norm (Esposito et al., 2016). The author argues that the stronger the intention, the more likely an individual will indulge in the behavior. The model is often used to review health-related decision making with attitude referring to person evaluation of behavior; PBC refers to perceived difficulty or ease of practice while the subjective norm is the degree other values the importance of ...

The positivist approach emphasizes all the relevant information regarding the topic that is to compare Islamic and Traditional banks using data envelopment analysis. The theoretical framework ...

Research, in as much as it provides information extracted directly from the field, it is performed by human beings who are susceptible to errors or omissions which are sometimes unavoidable. Omissions render the authenticity of the research questionable and thus critiquing (Vance, Talley, Pearce, Christian &Azuero, 2013). This paper will critique a quantitative research paper right from the introduction to the last part where recommendations are given basing on the data garnered.

Introduction

There are many ways to assess a company’s performance. One of the oldest yet most effective ways of attaining such is by doing an internal assessment, or specifically, reviewing a company’s financial history. This can be done by reviewing the company’s published annual report for a particular year. The company whose annual report and financial statements will be assessed in this paper will be Polarcus. The objective of this paper is to discuss what has happened with Polarcus financially and internally and what impact their previous corporate decisions could have on the overall condition of the company.
As a ...

Chapter I

The stereotypes and micro-aggressions suffered by a Black woman in a toxic workplace leads to deleterious effects. The effects reported here include oppression, shame, and isolation. Internalizing these feelings of isolation systematically caused the body, mind, and spirit to suffer physiologically and psychologically. The overall strategy is termed disconnection; this concept is reinforced by the “power over” (Jordan, 2010) by a dominant group who wantonly exercise shame and isolation to discourage mutually empowerment relationships (Jordan, 2010, p. 105).
This Black woman is me. The terms Black and African American are used interchangeably. It is my preference to identify with the Black ...

Introduction.

Module 2 has been a bridge in learning research methodologies and components of research. The lessons have enabled understanding of research methodologies, design, experiments and testing. The module has created an understanding in differentiating research methods. It has created awareness in categorizing and differentiating different populations and sampling techniques applicable in every population. Overall, module 2 has increased my knowledge in understanding research and its components that enhance development of theories that apply to behavioral trends in different societies.
In regard to the subject, I learnt the different research instruments applicable in different scenarios in coming up with conclusions. ...

Introduction

Higher education institutions such as universities and colleges contribute significantly to the development of young people into responsible and successful individuals. In many countries, governments invest huge amounts of their national budget in education. This is because higher education is a sure way of preparing the nation’s youth to be future innovators, leaders, and the whole nation’s labor force. There are tertiary education institutions that are for profit organizations. These institutions offer education services, but also look to make profits from the services they offer. These colleges have well developed systems where they look to retain the ...

Introduction

Communication is a vital facet in today's’ social setting. The complexities emergent in the current settings are as a result of divergent contributing factors that entwine to yield an amiable stance.
