Ranney, M.L., Griffeth, V., Jha, A.K. (2020). Critical Supply Shortages — The Need for Ventilators and Personal Protective Equipment during the Covid-19 Pandemic. New England Journal of Medicine, 382(18), e41.

Hypothesis
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to critical shortages of ventilators and personal protective equipment (PPE) in hospitals in the US and UK.
My hypothesis
The level of preparedness for a pandemic (independent variable) impacts the availability of critical medical supplies like ventilators and PPE (dependent variable) during the COVID-19 pandemic in the US and UK.
The independent variable is the level of preparedness for a pandemic prior to COVID-19. The dependent variable is the availability of critical supplies like ventilators and PPE during the COVID-19 pandemic. I am interested in testing whether more prepared healthcare systems had greater availability of critical supplies during the pandemic.

The research questions examined in this study were: What are the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on healthcare workers’ mental health and wellbeing? What is the key risk and protective factors influencing healthcare workers’ mental health during the pandemic? What public health interventions can promote healthcare workers’ mental health and wellbeing during the COVID-19 pandemic?
Here is a related research question I could investigate further:
How did communication patterns between healthcare workers change during the COVID-19 pandemic and what effects did this have on collaboration, teamwork, and patient care?
This question focuses specifically on how COVID-19 impacted communication in healthcare workplace settings, which could provide insights into strategies to improve communication and teamwork during times of crisis. Examining the interplay between communication, collaboration, and patient outcomes could shed light on important best practices for supporting healthcare providers through major disruptions like a pandemic.
Part 3
This was a very insightful exercise for me. By starting with a published research article and then formulating my own related research question, I was able to approach the broader topic from a new perspective. The key things I learned are that; coming up with an original research question forces me to think creatively about ways to build on and extend prior work. I can’t simply rehash what others have already studied, but need to identify a novel direction. In addition, focusing a research question makes it more tractable to investigate. Looking broadly at “COVID-19’s impact on healthcare workers” is too vague. Zeroing in on effects on communication and collaboration provides more specificity. Furthermore, creating a good research question requires both familiarity with the literature and the ability to identify gaps in knowledge. I needed to understand what had already been studied before proposing a new question. Turning a broad topic into a researchable question requires analysis and synthesis skills. I had to distill the key variables and relationships to study.

Part One:
Quantitative: Driscoll, M., & Gurka, D. (2015). Using the Electronic Medical Record to Enhance Physician-Nurse Communication Regarding Patients’ Discharge Status.
Nursing Administration Quarterly,
39(4), E31–E37.
https://doi.org/10.1097/NAQ.0000000000000127
Research Question from the Article: Does the use of an electronic medical record decrease the average conditional discharge time?
Research Hypothesis: Patients have a decreased discharge time if providers enter conditional discharge orders.
Is there an impact on conditional discharges when an electronic medical record is utilized?
The independent variable would be the conditional discharge order. The dependent variable would be the change in average discharge time.
Part Two:
Qualitative: Kelly, M. M., Hoonakker, P. L. T., Nacht, C. L., Smith, C. A., Dean, S. M., Sklansky, D. J., Smith, W., Sprackling, C. M., Zellmer, B. M., & Coller, R. J. (2023). Parent Perspectives on Sharing Pediatric Hospitalization Clinical Notes.
Pediatrics,
151(1), 1–10.
https://doi.org/10.1542/peds.2022-057756
Research Question from the Article: What impact does parental use of live clinical notes have on the hospitalization experience?
Hypothesis: There is a relationship between physician real time clinical notes and parents positive perceptions of readiness for discharge.
What impact does parental involvement in the electronic medical record have on the discharge of a pediatric patient?
How does the parental involvement with the clinical team impact discharge readiness?
Part 3: Overview:
During this exercise, I began to become more confused on what was truly qualitative versus quantitative as I searched thru research articles. Quantitative data is numbers-based, yet qualitative data can be reported in numbers, as well. If anyone has any great tips to more clearly define the two, I am open to suggestions. The creation of the hypothesis does narrow down the topic and seeks why the research is being conducted. Looking back on my first week experience with the research question, there is much more specification to occur. The original question was “Has conditional discharges been effective to meet the care goals and sustain quality care?” and “What settings have conditional discharge shown positive outcomes?”
