Background of the study
When taking care of the patients it is paramount that the nurses utilize the current and best practices. In deciphering what this is, nurses are required to be able to read, and understand research critically. However, for most qualified nurses and nursing students, the studies’ jargons are often not straightforward to understand, which makes the endeavors toward critical reading even more daunting. It is fundamental in nursing that all nurses should be equipped to appraise research and unearth the best practices critically. This assignment entails critiquing qualitative study and would be essential in helping the nurses in demystifying the process and decoding the terminologies.

The first article considered for the critique is titled caring for children diagnosed with Autism, Spectrum Disorders; caregiver’s experience, authored by Nomfundo Mazibuko, Hilda N Shilubane and Solomon B.Manganye 2020. The main focus of the piece was to explore the caregiver’s encounters when handling children with ASD in Ehlanzeni district in Mpumalanga South Africa (Zibuko, M “ng” Nye, & Shilub , 2020).

In (W” i-Tong Chien, & Lee, 2007) work titled psychiatric nurtures, understanding and attitudes towards the use of physical restraint on older clients in the psychiatric hospital wards., the piece was authored by Wai-tong Chien and Isabella YM lee and focused on exploring the registered nurse’s attitudes knowledge and practice issues concerning the use of the physical restraints in Hong Kong. The researchers have also examined the factors that influence the conclusions of medical practitioners in restraining their patients.
How the Article answer the PICOT question
The study (Zibuko, M “nag” Nye, & Shilub, 2020) excellently answers the PICOT question by offering appropriate mechanisms of handling children with ASD. The authors recommend that medication be made easily accessible at the district levels to minimize care providers’ challenges as they travel long distances. Tailor-made interventions to support the caregivers ought to be developed and the w support groups for the youngsters with ASD. The development of an instrument to determine the caregiver’s experiences, challenges, perceptions and coping mechanisms would be critical in alleviating the challenges as demonstrated by the piece.
The work of (i-Tong Chien, & Lee, 2007) has adequately answered the PICOT question on how to approach the issue of physical restraints by demonstrating that nurse ought to question the prevailing preconceptions and myths associated with the use of controls in the elderly clients. Possible alternative measures to confinement and its adverse consequences should be embraced; the nurses are required to be more aware of the essential factors surrounding physical restraining, including societal interpretation of the same and its meaning to the clients. The piece suggests that a multi-disciplinary approach should be embraced to motivate the nurses to develop a restrictive environment for older client’s wards, rather than the physical restraining using inhuman methods. Effects of the same practices in other countries ought to be studied, coupled with an education intervention on psychiatrist nurse attitudes and physical restraining decisions.
Research method and limitations
The study titled caring for children diagnosed with autism, spectrum disorders; caregivers experience has embraced a qualitative approach with the data being gathered using structure interviews suing and the data were analyzed utilizing the thematic content analysis is. The study has some strong points, including that it has examined the issues faced by caregivers handling children with ASD in details (Zibuko, M “nag” Nye, & Shilub 2020). Some study’s limitations and the study methods in the piece include that its finding cannot be reliably used in the general situation. They are only applicable to the specific context with a small population. The qualitative nature is only appropriate in the generation of the research hypothesis.
The work of (i-Tong Chien & Lee, 2007) has utilized and exploratory, descriptive study using two psycho geriatric wards and one of the mental care facilities in Hong Kong utilizing mixed research. Similar to the article above, the data was gathered utilizing semi-structured questionnaires and semi-structure interviews. Some of the research method’s strong points include that the respondents were not restricted in giving information, and the researcher in real-time can easily guide them. At the same time, it also explored the issue deeply. The study’s limitation includes that it is difficult for the researcher to maintain objectivity in the wards while avoiding being involved and emotionally influenced by the client challenges.
The research findings
The researchers found that caregiver’s experienced psychological distress (social stress, heavy financial burdens and limited family support) as they handle children diagnosed with ASD (Zibuko, M “ng” nye, & Shilub 2020). The piece offers more insights to nurses by recommending that information on various subsidized programs and interventions should be availed to the nurses and other care providers to minimize cases and effects of the psychological distress among nurses dealing with children diagnosed with ASD.
In the piece psychiatric nurtures, understanding and attitudes towards the use of physical restraint on elder clients in the psychiatric wards, the authors concluded that two-thirds of the nurses favored restraining the patients for their safety. The nurses shared a typical attitude that the healthcare facility was legally responsible for using the restraints in guaranteeing the patient’s safety and demonstrated that clients would not suffer the loss of dignity when restrained (I-Tong Chien, & Lee, 2007). This piece is significant to the nursing profession. It offers insights that can guide nurses’ decisions when faced with dilemmas on whether to restrain clients with mental challenges during care interventions. It often appears to be inhumane and unethical, but on her hand can facilitate efficient intervention.
Ethical consideration in nursing research
Some of the nursing research process’s ethical consideration includes that the process should have more benefits than harm. Nursing ethics protect the most vulnerable members’ privacy and interests, such as the mentally ill, patients, children, and aged, by deterring forceful participation in research against their will (Fitzpatrick, 2015). The ethics safeguard privacy, dignity, ensuring fair and respectful treatment of the participants through their informed consent. Participants should be protected from the physical, mental and emotional harms, which can result from research practices such as introspection and fear of the unknown. Some ethical consideration evident in pieces include that the researchers sought consent from the participants by thoroughly informing them what is expected in the process. The researchers also assured participants that their information and their identities would not be included when preparing manuscripts for publication. The researchers have endeavored to create a trusting relationship with their participants.
