question. 2. Describe how the interventions and comparison groups in the articles compare
to those identified in your PICOT question. Method of Study: 1. State the methods of the two
articles you are comparing and describe how they are different. 2. Consider the methods
you identified in your chosen articles and state one benefit and one limitation of each
method. Results of Study 1. Summarize the key findings of each study in one or two
comprehensive paragraphs. 2. What are the implications of the two studies you chose in
nursing practice? Outcomes Comparison 1. What are the anticipated outcomes for your

Summary Nurses are the most affected by burn out and job dissatisfaction in the profession.
This can be attributed to the nature of their work and the overall demands of the profession.
Ultimately, frustration from the patients can elevate the bedside nurse’s stress levels
leading to burnout. Burn out, and job dissatisfaction is a course for concern, especially in
busy health care in the system (Aiken et al., 2002). The issues bring about individual
problems that yield widespread problems in the whole organization. For instance, a nurse
may develop “neuroendocrine” related responses and, ultimately physiological outcomes
that can result in illness. NRS-433V-0502 Week 3-Rough Draft Quantitative Research
Critique and Ethical ConsiderationsWithin the organization, job dissatisfaction and
increased burnout can result in the poor turn out and elevated absenteeism impacting
health care delivery within the organization. Nurses who deal with patients daily are liable
to workplace stress that yields elevated levels of burnout and subsequent job dissatisfaction
(Aiken et al., 2002). The development of creative team building activities can help address
the issue among nurses in various hospital settings while enhancing their overall job
satisfaction. This is because such activities are meant to enhance nurse’s morale, increased
communication, 2 and trust that is very crucial in a clinical setting (Clark, 2009). Such
activities enhance trust as well as improved morals in a clinic. The move creates a
collaborative environment between colleagues as well as cooperation while integrating the
team’s efforts in problemsolving. The activity can be organized individually, or it can
integrate the whole organization. However, the involvement of the organization may limit
the activities due to the need for money, but individual nursing cooperation can cut any cost
required. They can set a particular day of how they can be a meeting taking into account
their particular (Clark, 2009). Question: Do creative team building activities among the

advancement opportunities resulting in career stagnation; hence, job dissatisfaction
additionally, lack of nurse participation in Workload and job dissatisfaction was as a result
of lack of communication and stagnation in the workplace, offering no room for
development and personal growth. Teamwork steered nurses into being involved in
decision making, highlighting the presence of respect and inclusion in the handling of
hospital matters hence a decline in the stress levels. 32 health centers in England. Method
Key Findings of the Study 7 Recommendations of the Researcher hospital matters leads to
overall burnout. A better work environment yielded job satisfaction. Involving the nurse in
decision making through team activities will help build trust and subsequently alleviate the
emotional outburst that is sometimes directed towards unforgiving patients. 8 Teamwork
can enhance the overall work delivery to the patients if encouraged and developed. It serves
to make the workplace as comfortable as possible. References Aiken, L. H., Clarke, S. P.,
