The quantitative designs are important because it shows the relationship between experimental and non-experimental data (p.150).  Experimental designs show the causality of the item being examined, and nonexperimental designs are used to describe phenomena in detail, explaining the differences among variables, and having a prediction among variables (p.150).  There seems that a combination of these two designs are used in a lot of research to that eventually becomes evidence-based practice.  The one that is the biggest driver of this research is the nonexperimental design. 

The nonexperimental design has the most use in nursing practice due to how well a study can utilize this design.  In the study by Solvik & Struksnes the nonexperimental design is used to show the experience nursing students have before and after clinical practice.  The study compares the student’s degree of satisfaction with the learning taking place, the relevance of it before and after practice among other things (p.2).  This is a good example of nonexperimental designs due to the comparisons of the students before and after clinicals.

Nursing is a dynamic practice that necessitates changes to improve the quality service that clients and patients receive. Qualitative research designs are applied in diverse ways to support changes in nursing practice. Some of the qualitative research designs that are used to support changes in the nursing practice include grounded theory, phenomenology, narrative inquiry, and ethnography (Stiensta, 2015). I will discuss phenomenology in this discussion as an essential qualitative research design that can be used to support the changes in nursing practice.

Phenomenology qualitative research design is applicable in specific situations when formulating and implementing changes in the nursing practice. According to Chesnay (2015), phenomenology research design is a methodology that attempts to explore people’s experiences, sensory perception, and understanding. Nursing practitioners need to understand their patients from different perspectives. In turn, they can use the research design to use the information they gather to make the necessary changes that would prove to be more effective to the patients and in the overall delivery of quality services. Phenomenology also helps in observing persons that are considered unusual in one way or another (Stiensta, 2015). For example, phenomenology research design can be used to find out a specific health problem that faces patients; as a result, an effective strategy may be formulated and implemented to save the situation or mitigate a certain health care problem. All necessary changes in the nursing practice have to be made objectively and strategically. 

In conclusion, phenomenology qualitative research design is essential to understand patients. All patients visit health care centers expecting quality services. Nurses have to rely on empirical and evidence-based researches to understand some health care problems and challenges and address them properly by initiating the necessary changes.
