Nursing management of aggression in a Singapore emergency department

Thus from the title, the reader gets a clue of the major area of research in regards to nursing. As well, the title provides the reader the reader with information on the group of interest in the research. The title informs the reader that the research will focus majorly on nurses who work in the emergency department. Besides, the reader is already informed that the population of interest in the research is based in Singapore. Additionally, the title mentions the methodological approach that will be utilized in the research. Also, the literature review is comprised of quality and reliable sources since most of them are from recent years and therefore shows the level of concern and need for research in the problem of the research (Cronin, Ryan & Coughlan, 2008).

No theoretical framework has been used to guide the study. The Sources used in the literature enable the reader to understand the research problem and can allow the reader to form a critical judgment in response to the research that has been conducted in the past. Sampling & Recruitment The population of the study was not adequately described except for the sampling and recruitment of the research participants. They were sampled and recruited based on their age, gender, educational qualification and working experience. The study attempted to achieve data triangulation by utilizing the principle of data saturation (Meyer, 2000). This was done to ensure that the interview data was repetitive and therefore not likely to produce new information from more data collection. The procedure of recording interviews was properly described and seem appropriate to enable the researcher gain ample time to carry out a thematic analysis as well as be able to come up with themes from the collected data (Meyer, 2000).

It is also likely that the staff that conducted the interviews were properly trained from the description of the data collection and storage. Also, the data collected was relevant to the research problem since the interviews consisted of topics that provided the researchers with the different nurses' perspectives on the issue of managing aggression in the ED. The researchers, however, fail to inform the reader of how they ensured the participant's comfort as well as their protection against any possible and potential harm (Bhutta, 2002).
