1EVIDENCE-BASED NURSING RESEARCH
Methodology
The study is a descriptive study design as the focus of the study will develop the
knowledge about the condition of the urinary catheter care in the hospital ward. In the context
of the knowledge about the catheter care guidelines among the nurses, it can be stated that the
quantitative method would be used for better knowledge development. Thus it can be noted
that the quantitative method should be focusing on the quantitative data collection about the
conceptual knowledge of the nurses for the care providence to the patients requiring a
catheter for the renal system (Mackay et al., 2018). Thus the close-ended questions would be
developed, and the questionnaire would be used for the interviewing of the nurses, patients
affected with this condition and also the management of the health care organisations. The
quantitative data will be helpful in the process of obtaining knowledge about the level of
expertise among the nurses. The factor of the close-ended questions would be developed for
analysing the knowledge about the nurses in this context (Parker et al., 2017). The research
for this concept can be conducted by the mixed methodology, which is comprised of the
qualitative and quantitative setting. The sampling process can be the randomised control trial.
The method of the data collection would be conducted in the emergency care ward, general
ward, ICU and acute care ward for at least 24 weeks or 6 months.
Setting
The study will be conducted in four wards namely emergency care ward, general
ward, ICU and acute care ward of Hollywood Private Hospital, Perth, WA. The study is a
descriptive study design as the focus of the study will develop the knowledge about the
condition of the urinary catheter care in the hospital ward. The setting of the research would
be the observational cohort study and also the mixed method. The observational cohort study
is the factor where the researchers would observe the process of care regarding the catheter

use for a specific amount of time (Kim et al., 2017). The study will be divided into segments
and the process will help the researchers in obtaining knowledge about the factor of the care
procedure and also the knowledge of the nurses in this sector. On the other hand the mixed
method will be implemented for the data collection that is the qualitative data collection and
the quantitative data collection process (Fasugba et al., 2018). The open-ended questionnaire
would be used for the assessment of the knowledge and the feelings of the participants about
catheter care process. Based on the collected data the researchers would conduct a qualitative
data analysis. Furthermore, the close-ended questionnaire will be used for managing the
statistical data about the context. The study will help the analytical knowledge about the
process of the care and the factors affecting the care procedure and the affecting percentage
of those barriers (Sax et al., 2016). Hence, the setting of the research here will be done based
on the cohort study design which is a prospective study and also the mixed method for the
data collection analysis. Therefore, the factor of knowledge will be obtained about nurses'
attitude towards this kind of care. Also, the factor of providing support to the patients will be
developed through these methods.
Participant
Here, for the knowledge development about the catheter care process the participants
will be the patients affected by UTI or other renal diseases, the age range of the patients must
be over 65 years, nurses especially the registered nurses (RN) and enrolled nurses (EN) aged
over 25 years will be selected as they are the directly involved in the process of the catheter
care providence. On the other hand the patients over 65 years are generally the affected
personnel by renal diseases, thus these people will be selected for the study. At least 40
nurses will be selected for the assessment of their knowledge on the context of the urinary
catheter care and the data collection process.
