Over time and with experience, perhaps you recognized aspects of these processes and procedures

Clinical inquiry is the practice of asking questions about clinical practice. To continuously improve

patient care, all nurses should consistently use clinical inquiry to question why they are doing

Hospital-acquired pressure injuries (HAPIs) is a result of injury to a localized area of skin

or underlying tissue that can occur during an inpatient hospital stay (Rondinelli et al., 2018).

Often, most pressure injuries are avoidable; however, there are circumstances where pressure

injuries are unavoidable due to other medical underpinnings. There are associated factors to the

development of a pressure injury as shearing and pressure are not the only causative factors

involved. Risk factors of pressure injuries include, but not limited to, age, nutritional status,

severity of illness or trauma, perfusion, and immobility. Discerning the best type of intervention

for specific patient populations can reduce the likelihood of developing or further progression of

a pressure injury. The purpose of this paper is to examine and analyze four different peer-

reviewed journal articles that address methods and interventions for reducing and preventing

hospital-acquired pressure injuries.

Okay, the first two articles
should be a good visual to
help you on your way.
Remember, YOU CAN do

Dr. F

Why you chose this
article and/or how it
relates to the
clinical issue of
interest (include a
brief explanation of
the ethics of
research related to
your clinical issue of
interest)

Selection of Article:

I selected this article
because it represents my
clinical issue of interest of
how hospital-acquired
pressure injuries (HAPIs)
are prevalent in all
healthcare facilities but more
importantly, educating why
and how the need to
frequently assess and
intervene is a priority. The
focus is on understanding
there are critical issues with
skin breakdown costing the
hospital money but also
causing harm to the patient.

Ethics of research noted
by authors to include
consent and maintaining
confidentiality.

Selection of Article:

I selected this article because
HAPI is addressed on a national
level generating ‘big data’ from
over 16 million inpatient
admissions, and then narrowing
it down based on risk factors to
9 million as the population size.
In addition, the study addressed
the skin risk assessment tools
along with comorbidities that
may be overlooked in other
studies on pressure injuries.

Ethics of research – Within the
article, patient confidentiality
remained compliant with the
Health Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act.

Okay – see how you need
to follow those keywords I
highlighted.

• Why did you select
the article;

• how it relates to the
clinical issue; and

• explanation of
ethics

Be sure to include those
keywords, but without
highlights.

Do not have to write a
“book” but be specific, to
the point and provide the
why and/or how, and
explain ethics of research

the aims of the
research of each

conditions and costs among
hospitalized patients with and
without HAPIs. Additionally, this
particular study focused on
using rigorous methods for
control and demonstrated how
HAPI can become a huge
expense for the healthcare
industry along with a long
process of healing for the
patient.

Brief description of
the research
methodology used
Be sure to identify if
the methodology
used was
qualitative,
quantitative, or a
mixed-methods
approach. Be
specific.

Research Methodology:

Quantitative method using
an experimental randomized
controlled trial (RCT) design
which randomly assigned
participants into both
experimental and control
groups.

Yes again, keywords to
use: Research
Methodology to include
both method and design.

A brief description of
the strengths of
each of the research
methodologies used,
including reliability
and validity of how
the methodology
was applied in each
of the peer-reviewed
articles you
selected.

Strengths of Methodology:

A few strengths associated
with quantitative research
method using a RCT design
is…..

Reliability of the study was
demonstrated by providing
statistical data in relation to
significance (p value).
Specifically, on average
prevalence of HAPIs
dropped to 1.2% (p value
<0.0001).

Strength – This study focused on
a large national database to
determine a significant number
of critical risk factors that can
lead to HAPI.

Reliability – data presented
suggests reliability to include ….

Validity – The validity of this
study matches the reliability
content such that the tools used
to assess risk factors of HAPI
were consistent with the results
of the occurrence of pressure
injuries.

Keywords to mention
include strengths, reliability,
and validity as it relates to
each research study in
particular.

General
Notes/Comments

Note, a limitation to this
observational study is the large
amount of data and sample size
which affects the control of the
study when attempting to match
the number of risk factors
associated with HAPI on a
broad scale.

This study provided a general
idea of the occurrence of HAPI
given key risk factors along with
incorporating length of stay and
costs; however, compared to
other studies, this study did not
state other interventions used
that would allow future
researchers to use with other
studies.
