Quantitative Article Critique of the, “ Nurse exposure to various forms of abuse” by Spector, Zhou & Che (2014).
Results
Data Analysis
Data analysis in this scenario entailed analysis of descriptive data, and the process was executed using using SPSS Statistics software. Correlation between dependent and independent varibles was perfomed using t-test and differences between the factors associated with nurses’ exposure to various forms of abuse was done using logistic regression analysis method (Spector, Zhou & Che, 2014). In summary, appropriate data analysis techniques were utilized and the result findings represted a true indication of the nursing issue at hand.
Findings
Upon data analysis, the findings established that the average exposure rates stood at “ 36. 4% for physical violence, 39. 7% for bullying, 66. 9% for non-physical violence, and 25% for sexuak harassment” (Spector, Zhou & Che, 2014). Overal, the result findings are very plausible and dependable, and the stataistical signficance was set at at p <. 05.
Reliability and Validity
The element of reliability and validity is evidently expressed in the research article, and the obtained findings are valid and trustworthy, and they clearly describe the research problem at hand, which is nurses’ exposure to various forms abuse during service delivery. The obtained research findings are very credible and reliable, and they present a true indication of the issues that nurse’s encounter during service delivery.
Discussion
Interpretation of findings
The findings show that majority of nurses’ ennounter violence in the course of their duty, and such violence is predominant in emergency, geriatric department. In a nutshell, these result findings are well analyzed and interpreated and all its content fall within the context of previous research studies. Therefore, it is appropriate to say that the results findings answer the research questions, and potrays a true picture of the issue under investigation based on the primary data collected.
Implications/recommendations
The researchers closed the curtains by affirming that nurses endure various challenges during service delivery and restate the need to equip nurses with various skills and strategies to adress issues that may affect their perfomance during care. In addition, it provides new insights of dealing with issues that may hinder nurses from providing quality, safe, evidence-based, and affordable nursing care.

The obtained data was in turn decoded and the principal premises or themes were identified. In this scenario, appropriate data analysis techniques were adopted.
Findings
The result findings identified 19 primary research studies that were utilized for thematic analysis, and after a thorough invetsigation four themes that include “ violent relationship”, “ harms and behaviours”, “ risk” and “ seeking help” were identified (Perryman & Appleton, 2016). The result findings are very plausible and consistent, but they don’t have appropariate stataistical signficance.
Reliability and Validity
Even though the notion of reliability and validity is not evidently expressed in the research article, the obtained findings are valid and trustworthy, and they clearly describe the research problem which is the ever increasing cases of domestic violence among males.
