Part 2
Activity: Developing Part 3 – Analysis of Literature
Analyze Your Research Articles: Compare and Contrast
Directions
Analyze below what is the same among your 3 research articles and what is different.
Example for You
1. What articles have similarities in each section below?
a. Methodology
Dall’Ora et al. (2015) and Stimpfel et al. (2012) both used qualitative methods with large sample sizes; 31,627 (Dall’Ora et al., 2015) and 22,275 (Stimpfel et al., 2012)
b. Findings
Both studies (Dall’Ora et al., 2015; Stimpfel et al., 2012) found a strong association between longer shifts and job dissatisfaction and the negative effects on patient satisfaction.
c. Recommendations
Both studies (Dall’Ora et al., 2015; Stimpfel et al., 2012) suggest policy makers to use the findings to reconsider their current approach of increasing hours due to nurse shortage because of the long-term negative effects on nurses and patients.

Discussion Requirements
Complete the background reading before participating in a class discussion; your classmates and I can tell if you are not prepared and are just providing fluff
Your first post is a response (original post) is an open-ended question (results in a short answer)- I require all questions answered with MLA citation format (Miller, p29), to be complete (specific language/terminology that logically and critically contributes to the discussion), supported by credible sources (Miller must be one, academic/peer review (edu/org/gov) sources must be relied on as primary authorities, commercial sources (.com) are secondary, persuasive – not as reliable or credible – can only be used to share an example). Zero points even if you write an excellent post if you rely on your own understanding, Wikipedia, commercial sites only, blogs, or other rumor mills).
Your subsequent posts must be in RESPONSE to classmates’ posts – make sure the responses are more than “you agree or disagree” – evidence of collegiate discussion includes detailed, specific responses supported by cited references (see the previous standard) – a minimum of two responses (your choice: you can respond to one classmate twice or spread your love and chat with other classmates).
You are expected to proofread and provide professional writing – grammar and spelling counts. Do not use text shorthand.
