Overview of the Project Implementation Phase
The stage of the project implementation will be based on the results of the preliminary investigation. The data obtained during the literature review will be used to certify the research methodology for the project (Burns, Grove, & Gray, 2016). This project will be based on a review of the most relevant data sources. Nonetheless, the research does not limit the investigator in terms of the type of information. After the data is gathered, the methodology of the research will be defined (Burns et al., 2016). The time frame for this stage will be seven days. Consequently, the investigation will concentrate on the analysis of the obtained data. After that, the researcher will be able to employ the chosen methodology and gain the required insights into the critical aspects of care when it comes to patients with Alzheimer’s (Ali, 2015). The process of project implementation will require the researcher to prepare a draft of the final report. This is needed to provide the investigator with the opportunity to revise the research dynamically in case of any imprecisions (Burns et al., 2016). Then, the research will be conducted further to help the investigator to present the data and draw reasonable conclusions based on the obtained evidence.
Moreover, the researcher will be interested in receiving as much feedback as possible to incorporate it into the research (Comerasamy & Siu, 2013). Feedback is considered to be one of the most important aspects of nursing research projects. It is repeatedly referred to as a crucial element of the project implementation stage. Nonetheless, it is advised to gather feedback throughout all the stages of the research (Burns et al., 2016). This will be done to make the most out of the chosen methodology and all available ideas. For this, several people should be involved in the activities connected to the project implementation stage. This sample may be represented by the relatives of ill patients, nurses, and other healthcare specialists (Burns et al., 2016). On a bigger scale, feedback will become a helpful asset for all the parties involved in the research process. The researcher also expects to collect it after the implementation of the project. This will expand the knowledge on the subject of Alzheimer’s care options for future research (Ali, 2015).
Project Timeline
Required Resources
The most important resource that will be utilized throughout the project implementation stage is time. Moreover, the project will require the use of information technologies including word processing software and access to the Internet. The research will benefit from the use of specific healthcare databases and electronic libraries (Comerasamy & Siu, 2013). There are numerous useful resources such as the Cochrane Database and Medline. The evidence obtained throughout the previous research claims that the overall quality of the research depends on the trustworthiness and quality of the sources used by the investigator (Holloway & Galvin, 2017). The researcher will pay special attention to the peculiar details found in the literature because these specifics may significantly impact the outcomes of the study and influence the number of items in the list of the required resources. The study will not focus on the use of a quantitative approach and the development of a meta-analysis (Parahoo, 2014). Nonetheless, if there will be quantitative data that has to be collected and analyzed, the researcher will utilize the statistical software. Moreover, the method of statistical analysis may be applied to qualitative data as well so the research will benefit by any means. One of the most common programs that may be used to analyze the data in SPSS (Parahoo, 2014). Nonetheless, the researcher believes that it will be easier to find an open-source equivalent that will be free or at least not so expensive.
Budget
When it comes to monetary resources, the budget is influenced by several aspects. Throughout the stage of the project implementation, the research team will have to take care of the required purchases (including statistical software and library access/ article fees) (Holloway & Galvin, 2017). One of the biggest advantages is that the local library is available and the researcher will not have to spend funds on the acquisition of a large number of studies on Alzheimer’s. Nonetheless, if the researcher identifies an article that is not free of charge, they will purchase it individually (Holloway & Galvin, 2017). The price of the articles should be taken into consideration due to its variability. Probable expenses may reach $40 for a single article. At this point, the researcher believes that purchasing nursing journal articles related to Alzheimer’s disease is not compulsory (Nee, 2013). The researcher may also be concerned about the place where the surveys will be conducted. It should be noted that these contemplations are flexible, but the overall verdict concerning the project implementation stage is that it will not require any investments.
Conclusion
Within the framework of the current research, the investigator’s biggest concern is the time that will be spent on the realization of the project. This may be described as one of the peculiarities characteristic of qualitative projects that are based solely on literature reviews. Consequently, the overall quality of the research may depend on several factors (including the resources and obtained data) but the ultimate outcomes may be achieved without significant monetary support. The timeline of the project implementation stage is in line with the common project scheduling scheme. The stages of the current healthcare research are adjusted to the needs of nurses that have encountered patients with Alzheimer’s disease. All the necessary resources are available to the researcher and are ready to use (including journal articles and specific software). The use of statistical software is unlikely and does not impact the results of the project implementation stage in a significant manner. The researcher acknowledges the spendings that may be required when it comes to the facility where all the surveys will be conducted. In conclusion, the nature of this project is dynamic, but the latter is not expected to alter significantly and impose any critical limitations on the researcher.
