Referring to your learning within the Diploma of Nursing choose one situation, issue or identified area
of potential further learning that you have identified as an area you would like to research for your
professional development. Explain why you have chosen this particular situation or learning objective
based on your future role as a nurse.
In my profession, for some time now, I have a professional barrier when it comes to treating the patient
and that is pertaining to communication pertaining to behavioural change communication to the
patients. Therapeutic communication is an area where I need to improve my skills with professional
development and it is important to note that in the nursing management of the obese patients in mental
health setting – counselling and therapeutic communication for behavioural change of the patients are
very critical (Brown et al., 2018).

2c) What was the identified purpose of the article?
The purpose of the article is to develop a proper multidisciplinary team in the interdisciplinary
management of the obesity problem with diet (by the nutritionist and by the nurse in collaboration),
pharmacological management (by the nurses and the doctors), bariatric surgery management (by the
surgeons) if needed, physical therapy (nurse and a physical therapist), behavioural change (by the
clinical psychologist in collaboration with the nurse). The study identifies the increased needs for
education and training of the health care staffs to collaborate with each other for proper management
of obesity and how the nurse play an important role in the management of the same in the mental
health setting.
2d) Identify the research hypothesis.
The research hypothesis is to understand whether :-
5

HLT54115 Diploma of Nursing
CHCPOL003 – Research and apply evidence to practice
H0: The staff training and education improves the collaborative skills in the multidisciplinary team is not
effective in the better management of the obesity with diet (by the nutritionist and by the nurse in
collaboration), pharmacological management (by the nurses and the doctors), bariatric surgery
management (by the surgeons) if needed, physical therapy (nurse and a physical therapist),
behavioural change (by the clinical psychologist in collaboration with the nurse).
H1: The staff training and education improves the collaborative skills in the multidisciplinary team is
effective in the better management of the obesity with diet (by the nutritionist and by the nurse in
collaboration), pharmacological management (by the nurses and the doctors), bariatric surgery
management (by the surgeons) if needed, physical therapy (nurse and a physical therapist),
behavioural change (by the clinical psychologist in collaboration with the nurse).
2e) Describe the design methodology. Is it valid for the research undertaken?
The search criteria : - the literature on obesity management was searched through electronic
databases ( the literature was from December, 2013)
Keywords - “treatment”, ”, “education”,
“training”, “obesity”, “medical
education”, “prevention”, “nurse education”.
“Body weight and BMI” and “health professional education.
Only the peer reviewed and the journals in English language were taken.
A search through the electronic databases such as Cochrane Register of Controlled Trials., PsycINFO,
ERIC, NHS EED, , Medline (PubMed), Cochrane was undertaken
Reviews,
2f) Identify the data collection procedure. Is this chosen method appropriate for the research
methodology? Is it valid?
Data was collected from literature reviews that were performed on Reviews, and the metanalyses and
the manuscripts
It is appropriate as this is an explorative study and information along with point of views about
management of obesity has to be taken. It is valid for the research undertaken.
2g) Is the literature review broad yet focused? Does it fairly represent opposing views? Does it reveal
6

HLT54115 Diploma of Nursing
CHCPOL003 – Research and apply evidence to practice
gaps in knowledge regarding the chosen topic?
Yes the study identified two systematic reviews that discussed about how health professionals are not
familiar with physical activity guidelines and the literature focusses on the how the behavioural change
is a very important protocol in the management of obesity and how the staffs are not prepare to
manage the obesity due to lack of knowledge and educations pertaining to same (Sartelli, 2019). The
opposing views are proposed as well such as only some staffs from certain disciplines need to know
about behavioural therapies and the physical therapy treatments and the others do not need to know
about it (Montesi et al., 2016). The gaps in knowledge are identified as most literature focussed on the
importance of staff training and skill development and not on the implementation and execution criteria
with multidisciplinary collaboration (Chagot et al., 2017).
2h) Does the discussion relate to the research question or aim?
The discussion on the physical therapy and the behavioural management of the obese patients by the
health care staffs in a multidisciplinary care and the training needs and the educational needs of the
nurses and the others staffs related to the research aim of the research study.
2i) Describe the sample. Does the sample provide a good representation of the population being
studied?
The sample identified by the literature review identified the obese men and obese female gender
patients being treated in a hospital setup and in a clinical setting and has different levels of
involvement with obesity that has given different colloaration of interventions and disciplines.
2j) Does the article mention ethical & cultural considerations?
In the literature review, the articles that has maintained beneficence, non-maleficence, integrity,
autonomy and the totally principles of bioethics by the health care staffs including the nurse in
management of obese has been included. The nurses has maintained the same.
Cultural consideration relates to cultural competence being shown by the nurses and the health care
staffs and in most of the studies, there are evidences of cultural competence.
2k) How was the data analysed and presented.
The thematic analysis understanding the various areas of education, awareness, training of the health
care staffs are identified and an based on the analysis of the weight loss calculations – the algorithms
7

HLT54115 Diploma of Nursing
CHCPOL003 – Research and apply evidence to practice
related to weight loss energy deficits calculations were done post the data collection in order to
understand the research problems and a research findings in a proper manner and way.
2l) Were there any limitations noted?
The limitations that were identified in relation to the research article is that there is confirmation and
anchoring bias that is present content and the researchers of the study has not addressed the same
properly. Although the ethical and the cultural considerations are met, but at times towards the end of
the research article, the content digresses from the research purpose.
2m) Briefly summarise the findings and conclusion.
The study summarizes that the health care staffs and the health care practitioners must be trained in
order to develop the behavioural change skills that is required to treat the patients who has obesity.
According to the study, it is also very important that the staffs are trained on communication and
collaboration to address the treatment needs. The policies and the regulations in relation to the
management of the weight loss in pediatrics and management of nutritional intake is important and the
study recommends a multidisciplinary collaboration to address the client needs.
1. Informing practice: (200) words.
How can this piece of research be utilised to inform your future nursing practices? Provide an action

plan based on your research outcomes.
It is very important to understand that the collaboration and the various types of the interaction and
cultural communication skills is important to treat the obese patients in the nursing settings. It is highly
important that the various aspects of the counselling skills are learned and applied by the health care
staffs including the nursing staffs in order to develop a more effective patient centred care to the
subjects. In this study, it is emphasized that the staff training and staff development sessions in terms
of cultural and interpersonal skills that is very important to address the interdisciplinary needs of the
obese patients in the mental health department. It is highly important that the various types of the
counselling methods such directive, eclectic and non-directive counselling processes are taught and
learned by the nurses properly as they are the professionals who are responsible to deliver a very
effective patient centred care in the clinical scenario. The interpersonal skills are required to
collaborate with physical therapist and occupational therapists in order to improve the activities and
energy expenditure balance in the obese patients. In the future as well, as a nurse, I would be taking
up the staff development session in order to improve the cultural and interpersonal skills for
multidisciplinary practice and management of obesity.
