Application Of ANOVA For Hypothesis Testing
Question
“Do longer working shift impact on patient care reflected on falls, medication errors, patient and staff complaints due to staff fatigue?”
Working at neurosurgical ward in one of the teaching hospital for last four years has assisted my knowledge and understanding in managing neurosurgical patients. Neurosurgical department has 21 ward beds and 4 beds neurosurgical step-down unit (NSDU) for a patient who is needed close monitoring. In order to deliver continuous care to the neurosurgical patients, decrease high turn over staff and improve quality care to all patients, in February 2010, neurosurgical unit established long hours working shift for nursing staff that is agreed to work 12 hours shift a day instead of 8 hours shift. Most of the nursing staff decided to work 12-hour shift, only 2 of the nursing staff work 8 hours shift. However, a longer working hour is believed to be associated with in patient falls, medication errors, staff and patient complaints due to staff fatigue or burn out. Most of department in acute setting are resistance to commence 12 hours working shift due to the errors mentioned above.
Point including in introduction
- Why need to develop 12 hours shift
- problems
Literature review
Point including in literature review are:
1. What the literature review says about 12 hours shift related to falls, medication errors, patient complaint, and staff complaint related to fatigue.
2. The advantages of 8 hours and 12 hours working shift
3. What the literature review says about 8 hours shift related to errors.
The Aim of the Project
- To analyze errors that occurs in Neurosurgical department by comparing Incident Information Management System (IIMS) report from year 2009 and 2011. The finding of this project might be useful to the unit in preventing further errors and complaints, improving patient and staff safety by providing nursing staff with adequate resources and education in order to deliver excellent nursing care to all patients.
Method
Secondary analysis of data collected from Incident Information Management System (IIMS) data used is specific to Neurosurgical department.

WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY
1. Earlier I used to find excuses for not doing my operations management homework, when Veronica, my friend told me about HwA and then everything fell into place. Starting from the inventory management assignments to the critical path measure problem solutions, their operations management tutors helped me get a straight A in all the homework.
Timothy Chapman Student
From my undergraduate course till my master degree, I have been a regular client of HwA. The experts around here not only help you with the solutions of particular assignment but also at the same time helps you clear the concepts. It is like a marvellous bond and connection I share with this website.
Peter Walsh Student
1.: I had used another online accounting assignment help provider earlier for one of my accounting assignments and my professor immediately found out that it was not my work. But with TheReliableTutor and their assignment help experts who are from Singapore itself I have never faced this problem and have been happily using their services for the past two semesters.
Chan Heng Chee Student
When the time came to do my final year research dissertation I came across HwA who not only helped me to write the paper but also at the same time enlightened me about the process of writing a proper research paper. I understood the basic difference between an essay and a research paper, thanks to the research paper writing experts of HwA.
Ann Bushnell Student
My wee practical knowledge was really an obstacle to my assessment in cardiovascular collapse assignment. Then I came across HwA’s cardiovascular system assignment help. The experts here are just marvellous and they have first-hand experience in dealing with patients. That helped a lot, indeed.!

Hello Allison,I love the 2nd image that you did! I also, had never heard of SumoPaint, is something that I will have to exolpre a bit! I understand completely the 52 (or so) youtube videos that you probably watched. Sometimes they have what you want, sometimes they don't! However, it is always satisfying when you are able to produce something that you have taught yourself. Great job!Debra 0 likes
