In addition to the above, research reports must be succinct, objective, and crystalline. The ultimate test of an excellent research report is in its ability to be replicated by those who read it. If this criterion cannot be met, then the report is inadequate. Th

Ethical Concerns When human subjects are used in investigative studies, whether they are double bind studies, placebo studies, test-retest investigations, or surveys the investigator must adhere to the strict conduct of informed consent. What is interesting in the research being evaluated is that the writer makes no mention whatsoever about securing the necessary informed consent form nor was their mention of having obtained the necessary institutional IRB form.

Methodology. Crucial to any investigation is the soundness of the investigative procedure. The present study selected 142 nurses from a wide variety of nursing backgrounds and of variable age and experience. Not only did Morrison fail to state how the sample was selected there was no determination made as to how sampling bias was to be curtailed, why 142 nurses were surveyed, or why other demographics such as gender, patient-nurse ratio, and participant geographic locations were not considered. The fact that error can occur and contaminate results by not selecting the appropriate sampling procedure gives credence that the results can be skewed, faulty, misrepresented, and extremely biased. Knowing that the population from which a sample of subjects could have been drawn the investigator would have been wise to have used a stratified random sampling technique. Such a procedure would have limited potential bias in interpreting the results - even the reported percentages. In order to garner accurate results, sampling procedures must be strictly enforced.

In the final analysis this reviewer is forced to grade the Morrison research endeavor with a D grade. Based on the lack of a stated research problem, stated testable hypothesis, specifically identifying the variables, as well as inappropriate sampling and statistical analysis selection, and lack of sustainable topical inference the investigation falls short of credible informational importance. Although not discussed in the review mention should also be made with respect to the authors negligence in reporting upon the actual format of the questionnaire, its reliability and validity, and the type of numerical data produced; i.e., nominal, interval, ordinal, or ratio.
