TITLE OF ARTICLE:
“Prior to undertaking advanced emergency training, nurses working in small island
nation in pacific called Kiribati had limited knowledge and were easily overwhelmed”
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Title of the article
As per the title of article, it has been understood that nurses plays a very crucial role in
tackling the challenges in hospital such as; handling emergency cases. It means, it is essential to
provide best training services to the emergency nurses for managing the complex circumstances
which might incur anytime at health care sector. However, major responsibility of nurses is to
provide instant first aid services to the needy people or person who is suffering from health
problems. Therefore, title of the article shows that emergency training programmes is requisite
for nurses in small island nation in Pacific which is named as Kiribati because members of this
place are having very limited knowledge that is easily overwhelmed. This means that entire
research is revolving around the development and growth of nurses of Kiribati which is a small
island in pacific area. Along with this, highlight various programmes that might conducted by
NSW for the knowledge enhancement of nurses (Nurse A and et. al., 2014).
1.2 Background of the study and its purpose
This article is based on growth of nurses which were working in Kiribati that is small
island in pacific by showing that they are really playing very indispensable role in tackling
complex situations at health care sector. It means, main purpose of the article is to focus on
training for emergency nurses at Kiribati by conducting several programmes or many more. At
the same time, training is indispensable for them because instant first aid to emergency cases are
provided by nurses only. Thus, overall research is based on education for nurses by showing
various educational programmes and sessions which is organized for their growth. This shows
that, nursing is really crucial at health care due to which members of NSW are focussing on
enhancing emergency nurses for make them capable so that they can handle unusual situations
that might incur at hospital (Gillard and Dyson, 2012).

LITERATURE REVIEW
2.1 Relevant to research topic
Yes, entire literature is totally connected with the topic of research because the whole
article covers the need of training to the emergency nurses, their growth, educational
programmes and many more. For example; it is clearly mentioned in the literature of article that
patient which were arrived with cardiac arrest is handled by nurses first before the arrival of
doctor. Hence, it has been proven that emergency training is really required to the nurses at
hospitals. As a result, program for emergency training programmes evolved after NSW clinical
Nurse Specialist in emergency at International Emergency Care Conferences in Melbourne in
2015. Along with this, number of things had been discussed at conference such as; Dr Tassicker
presented a request for nursing input to complementing a one year medical training session
which he was embarking on at Tungaru Central Emergency Department in Kiribati. All these
discussion in this article shows the relevancy of whole literature with the selected topic (Robert
Fedele, 2018).
2.2 Target population
Nurses are main target population in this article because whole project is based on the
development of emergency nurses at Kiribati. As a result, various associations in NSW and
members are coming with programmes for enhancing their knowledge and capability in order to
make them fantastic nurses.
2.3 Samples obtained and inclusion or exclusion criterion
Samples are gained from medical colleges where nurses are pursuing their medical
degree and hospitals where nurses are working as an intern. These can samples can acquired
through interviewing process. However, there inclusion criterion is that they must have minimum
knowledge about duty of nurses and aware about certain codes of conduct related with that.
Whereas, there are few exclusion criterion such as; criminal records, breach of duty of care etc.
2.4 Ethical consideration
This article is based on the growth of nurses in which large number of associations is
involved and team such as; Australasian College of Emergency Medicine offers funds for
delivering best training sessions in 2017 for a three week. Additionally, New South Wales
Nurses and Midwives Associations (NSWNMA) also plays a very crucial role in supporting this
4

entire project by offering best needed tools and equipment’s such as; three large heavy duty
sphygmomanometers and stethoscopes. Hence, it has been understood that all the work are going
in an ethical way as number of governmental associations are engaged in providing best
development opportunities to the nurses. Along with this, follow all the necessary rules and
regulations for minimizing the probabilities of mistakes and errors like; every member acquire
permission before conducting any activities that shows the ethical behaviour of related persons
(Baldacchino, 2010).
METHODOLOGY
3.1 Philosophical underpinnings of research
Philosophical underpinning of this selected article is that a nurse of Kiribati needs to
learn about the emergency training because nurses of this small island haven’t much more
knowledge. As a result, it automatically influences the health of patients because instant
problems are tackled by nurses only. Therefore, Philosophical underpinning of this research is
surrounded upon nurse’s emergency training in small pacific island.
3.2 Research design
There are various types of research design are identified which is used by researcher but
this article is based on descriptive study and experimental study as entire report focussed on
explaining the need of training to the nurses. Along with this, highlight full description of
Kiribati Island of pacific region in order to understand each and every thing in better manner.
Basically, various types of design are there which can use by researcher by scholars for
identifying corrective facts or figures (Rouquerol and et. al., 2013).
3.3 Strength and weakness of research
This research is really effective for nurses as various associations are come with several
programmes or sessions in order to enhance their knowledge. However, this research is all about
enhancement of emergency nurses by providing best training to them. Therefore, objective of
this report shows the major strength of entire research as title of report automatically seek the
attention of several members which helps in attaining set target of research. On the other hand,
major weakness of this research is that implementation of training is really hard to impose at
nurses because large number of groups are available.

3.4 Data collection instrument
There are number of methods are analysed which is used by researcher for acquiring best
data and information in order to make corrective decision. However, qualitative method is used
in this research for understanding the requirement of training to the nurses (Weber, 2017).
3.5 Validity and reliability
This article is totally valid for nurses of small island Kiribati because nurses are
responsible for handling the entire complex situation and by this article promotion of their
training get achieved. As a result, all of them will able to get sufficient training for performing
their assigned job in better manner. Moreover, emergence of various institutions and their
involvement in supporting this program shows the reliability.
FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATION
4.1 Findings

very significant role in the success of those nurses and easily they get succeeded in enhancing
their knowledge and talent. Thus, major things which is find in this article is that for establishing
a positive change, Bronwen and Angela proposes a removal of core team of nurses from rotation
for delivering accredited training. Mainly, their main objective is to advance the emergency
nursing at hospital and trying to develop career pathways. Therefore, pair design a course
accredited by Australian College of Emergency Nursing and designed by Basic emergency care
course that is endorsed by World health organization. Hence, this course helps in providing a
bridge which facilitates transition into a diploma of Emergency Nursing in Future. Along with
this, various other associations are also supporting in organizing training for success of
emergency nurses in order to enhance their knowledge that will help in the Kiribati growth
(Hoffmann, 2014).
