It is more appropriate to utilize quantitative analysis with a specific set of data gathering methods to collect data and evaluate the success of a project proposal on evidence-based practice. Quantitative data appears to be more essential in this respect, as the research will deal with a collection of parameters pertinent to a certain nurse staffing strategy, as well as its comparison under certain situations. Qualitative data, on the other hand, will continue to be based on qualitative research, such as those defining specific policy procedures or sets of defined criteria. In terms of outcomes, their evaluation (i.e., efficiency) should be based on quantitative data obtained through specific data collecting systems.
This study places emphasis on questionnaires, which are a method of gathering data using a tool that consists of a sequence of questions and prompts to elicit a response from the people who receive them (Dalati & Gómez, 2018). They’re made to gather data from a group and can handle massive amounts of data while being cost-effective. In addition, surveys may be used to compare and contrast datasets in order to assess change (Dalati & Gómez, 2018). They are simple to see and evaluate, and they have the potential to cover all aspects of the subject.
Second, data reporting is a vital data-gathering technique in various fields, including nursing, which is the process of collecting and displaying data further. Health surveys and medical records are among the public and commercial data gathering systems used by several institutions, including hospitals, medical facilities, physicians, and health plans (Blair et al., 2021). These records can be used to evaluate the outcomes of the research and facilitate further developments.
