Nurse: Research and Turnover

Running head: EBT1 Project

EBT1 Project 1 Western Governors University

EBT1 Project 2 Introduction As a nurse one is expected to provide excellent care that is evidence based. The ability to provide evidenced based care requires the ability to read peer-reviewed primary research reports and initiate recommendations in the clinical area. In the current paper the nurse will analyze 10 research report on nursing turnover. An annotated bibliography of 10 articles related to the problem will be discussed. This is by no means an exhaustive list. The research reports provide credible evidence-based practice implications regarding nursing turnover. Critique of Primary Research Article
Bae, Mark, and Fried (2010) examined the affects of nurse turnover on patient outcomes on different units. Assumptions regarding the adverse impact of nursing turnover on quality of care have existed but there has been few studies specifically looking at the relationship. The researchers noted existing studies have focused on the positive impact on patient care as a result of nursing turnover (Bae, Mark, & Fried, 2010). The review of the literature focused on previous studies on nurse turnover and patient outcomes including workgroup process, patient safety, and patient satisfaction. Bae, Mark, and Fried (2010) noted previous research focused on the relationship between turnover and patient outcomes but not the underlying causes (Castle & Engberg, 2005, Alexander, Bloom, & Nuchols, 1994) requiring further research. The literature review was very limited and many of the studies reviewed in this section were over 10 years old. Workgroup studies used in the literature review focused on cohesion but did not identify the type of work required in the unit.

Leadership styles of nursing home administrators and their association with staff turnover In this article, Donoghue and Castle (2009) using a survey tool examine the association between the leadership style of nursing home administrators and staff turnover many leaders did not have a consensus style (Donoghue & Castle, 2007).
