INTRODUCTIONResearch design is considered as an essential framework of various techniques andmethods that are selected by investigator so that research problem can easily be addressedeffectively in a logical manner (Litosseliti, 2018). The present report is based on exploration ofdifferent occupational stress among ICU nurses and resilience strategy which could be adoptedby medical professionals so that they can be reduced effectively. Well being is considered as oneof the important thing that is required by every nurse at workplace. It can be said that if theseICU nurses does not get suitable environment then it will going to be difficult for them toprovide best treatment to patients. This will directly place negative impact upon patient's health. Background of studyOccupational stress among ICU nurses is identified as main factor that affects well beingof nurses. Impact of this stress does not even has influence over nurses work but it is also seenhealth of their patients as well because they are not able to provide fair and effective treatment tothem. It can be said that medical practitioners are required to analyse all occupational activitiesand then take several initiatives for the identified stress among ICU nurses so that they can beaddressed on time. Aim of study“To define occupational stress amongst ICU nurses and to explore resilience strategiesused by ICU nurses to ameliorate stress whilst positively affecting their sense of well being”Research QuestionsWhat are the factors that causes occupational stress among ICU Nurses?What does workplace well being look like for ICU nurses?How does the occupational stress affect ICU nurse well being? What particular strategies are used to overcome occupational stress?Research Paradigm:Research paradigm refers to an approach used for conducting investigation which hasbeen already approved by research community in effective manner and is also being practisingfrom several years (Walliman, 2017). In the current investigation on occupational stress amongICU nurses and its impact on well being, investigator has chosen pragmatic approach. The main
reason behind choosing this is that it emphasises over particular individual decision making overreal life situation. In other words, it is something that has some sort of sense. Ontology andepistemology are considered as two main types of ways through which research philosophy canbe viewed. Both of these terms are described as below:Ontology: It refers to the belief which states that what so ever interpretation given by anindividual is identified as the part of overall fact (Lushey and Munro, 2015). This is mainlyassociated with the main question that is linked with social entities. Positivism and subjectivismare identified as two essential aspect of this term. In context to current investigation, it can besaid that occupational stress among ICU nurses is seen as real life issue which has beenidentified from modern life scenario. Nursing profession has been kn won as stressful professionthat impact on equality of the health care and also safety of patients. Under this, overall stressamong the ICU nurses is 68.29%. The stress is physical reaction to external or internal pressurethat main placed on system of an individual. The source of stress to nurses can be patients, timeconstrains to get the work done, lack of control feeling in working environment, conflict with theco- workers and many others. The stress impact on the work of nurses and they are not able totake care the patients. Epistemology: It simply emphasises on what is true. In this, main aid of investigator is todeal with all available sources which can further be used for grabbing information (Alvesson andSköldberg, 2017). It simply includes brief analysis of all possibilities of chosen topic, its nature,types of sources, core limitation of knowledge in the research topic. In addition to this, it can alsobe said that it works on historical perspectives, idealism, constructivism, essentialism etc. In this,it is necessary for the nurses to remove their stress so that they can deal with the patients and alsotake care of them in a better way. Through applying this philosophy, ICU nurses find theeffective ways to overcome from issues and by easy breathing, retreat easy place etc. The current investigation is going to employed on Qualitative descriptive mixed design.Qualitative descriptive approach is mainly used for identifying straight forward description. It isidentified as an effective approach which is helpful for investigator in enhancing their knowledgeon the particular topic associated with specific situation (King and Mackey, 2016). It alsoidentifies that who was involved in the situation and what were different things that have takenplace at that point of time. In context to current case, it has been identified usage of this method
