Introduction
The purpose of research in nursing and medicine is to acquire knowledge that would improve nursing and medical practices. The research paper that will be critiqued is “Comparison of Communication Outcomes in Traditional versus Simulation Strategies in Nursing and Medical Students”. The aim of this critique is to evaluate the Substantive and Theoretical, Methodological, Ethical, Interpretive as well as the Presentation and Stylistic Dimensions of the research paper mentioned above. Following the evaluation of these aspects will be a conclusion.
Discussion of Substantive and Theoretical Dimensions The research problem as well its significance, were indeed relevant to nursing and health-care. The report states that “The purpose of this study is to understand interprofessional communication (nursing and medicine) within the context of the educational environment (tradition versus simulation)” (Reising, Carr, Shea, & King, 2011).The research problem in this paper was concerning the increase in apprehension within health-care. This showed that the research incorporates grounded theory in its conceptual framework as it uses sociological principles (Loiselle & Profetto-McGrath, 2011). After analysis of the literature review, the need for the research study to take place seems to be necessary. This is attributable to the fact that, there was a lack of investigation concerning features related to simulation which could have been investigated but were not as yet explored. The title of this research indicates that it aims to compare two phenomena, tradition strategies and simulation strategies . This particular idea brings one to question the applicability of the methods used in regards to the research question. Through the investigation of the research paper
