The Effect Of Intensive Care Unit Environments
Research Components
Many different factors have to be decided in order to perform research of a subject. Every researcher must first decide upon a subject to conduct the research. Once a subject has been decided then the purpose for the study needs to be announced. The design of research should be considered, how to obtain participates, what tools to use, and how to manage the results are things that also have to be taken into consideration before research is to begin.
In the article, “The Effect of Intensive Care Unit Environments on Nurse Perceptions of Family Presence During Resuscitation and Invasive Procedures”, some factors of research will be described and examined.
Hypothesis/Purpose
The purpose of this study is plainly stated in the article. Carroll (2013) states “the purpose of this study was to measure the impact of the intensive care unit environments on nurse perceptions of self-confidence and perceived risks/benefits of family presence during resuscitation and invasive procedures” (p.35). A simple nondirectional hypothesis is chosen.

180). The sample population for this study are nurses that work in different intensive care areas taking care of surgical, medical, and pediatric patients. This population of nurses was chosen because there is limited information to be found about how critical care nurses’ feel in regards to the family presence. Out of a total of 525 critical care nurses given the opportunity to participate, only 207 of these nurses participated in the
