(PDF) Improving the quality of nursing documentation_1
Research is one of the most important part of nursing as it helps in defining nursinginterventions and decision-making. Research also helps in improving current nursing practises,regularly update knowledge and skills of the nurses through updated clinical practise guidelines.A practise that relies on decision-making and evidence is known as Evidence based practise.Today in nursing most of the time deviance based nursing is only used(Salomé & Ferreira,2018). This research paper helps in solving obstacles in order to deliver patient centred care andclinical practises. It has also focused on highlighting strengths and weakness of the study. Critical Evaluation also helps in determining the credibility of the study. The mainpurpose of this essay is to evaluate an article "Effects of a home care mobile app on theoutcomes of discharged patients with a stoma: A randomised controlled trial" (Wang & et.al.2018). Critical evaluation of this research article will help in evaluation of article by evaluatingits main strengths, weaknesses and limitations.According to Yang & et.al., (2016) article title specifies the topic clearly which isrequired to be studied. Not only this article title should be specific and detailed in nature. Theabove mentioned research article well-structured as it is a quantitative evidence based researcharticle which helps the reader to understand what has been researched.In order to understand the research topic it is important to understand the trsearch titleand abstract of the research. It also helps the search engine to easily identify the research article.According to Soffer, (2016) abstract provides a quick overview of an article. It helps in outliningcomplete article, introduce the subject, targeted research etc. Patients with stoma might facevarious kinds of difficulties especially after surgery. Use of home care mobile application canmake it much more easier for patients to adjust into their new life, accept all the changes andadjust as well as manage with their diseases. It is one of the most efficient way to ensurecontinuity of care. But there are many effects of these home care mobile applications in bothpositive and negative manner upon discharged patients with stoma. Abstract of this articlerepresents journal article itself.IntroductionAs per the view of Salomé & Ferreira, (2018) introduction helps in makinf the reasersunderstand what the article is about and what kind of details will it lay emphasis on. All theauthors of this research article were well qualified and experts in their own fields. The mainpurpose of this research paper is to find effects of a home care mobile application on the

outcomes of discharged patients with a stoma. This research paper was not at all factual in fact aproper study was carried out on various patients of different stoma types and cancer patient r(Wang, et al. 2018). This research paper provides evidence that helps in supporting nurse ledfollow-ups using mobile applications i.e. whether mobile apps are effective and efficient enoughto improve stoma related outcomes, self efficiency and psychosocial adjustments of dischargedpatients. This research paper also helped in understanding that mobile phone technologies are apart of transitional care which helps in delivering psychosocial interventions to stoma patients.Background of the research paper helps in relating significance of research paper to thestudy topic. It helps in studying the latest proposal and former work. According to Wand & et.al.,2018, no study had been conducted on permanent stoma patients that can be compared. In thisstudy all the complications faced by stoma patients had been discussed and how with the help ofmobile app it can be solved. Demirci & et.al., (2018) says that aim of a research study helps in relating the results ofthe study with its title or desired outcome. The main aim of this study is to check the effects of ahome care mobile app on the outcomes of discharged patients with a stoma: A randomisedcontrolled trial (Wang & et.al. 2018).Literature review of a research article helps in justifying all the research questions,identifying research paper importance as well as provides a general background description ofresearch topic (Salomé & Ferreira, 2018). This chosen article does not have a literature reviewarticle as it does not have any kind of research questions.Soffer, (2016) explains that methodology of a research paper helps the readers tounderstand what all methods have been used within the study in order to achieve all the desiredaims and objectives of the study. It also helps the readers to understand methods used withinresearch paper clearly. Wang, et al. (2018) in this research paper used single-blind, randomisedcontrolled trial research design i.e. all the participants were randomly assigned with routinedischarge care which was provided to them either through home care mobile app or throughoutpatient follow-ups. All the participants who participated within the study were randomlyassigned into two groups i.e. control group and intervention group. The two intervention groupsi.e. control group and home care mobile application intervention group patients were observed ina detail manner for accurate results. Out of these 203 patients 103 patients received routinedischarge care and other 100 patients received home care via mobile application which was
